REALLY IS "cRANE's FOOT"
Word pedigree" a Corruption Of
Term Which Was Applied to
Idea by the French.

Perhaps, after all, 1t would be more
appropriate to call a family tree a
family cranes foot" When one
speaks Of a persons pedigree" he
does not, at least consciously, mean
to infer that this has anything in com
mon with the foot Of a crane. But
this happens to be the literal mean
ing Of the word. which, like a num-
Der Of others, has found It's way into
English because Of tn. difficulty In
applying the proper pronunciation to
a French phrase.
A pedigree is, of course. nothing
more than a list of ancestors, and
this, when blocked out In the manner
dear to the hearts Of genealogists
takes the form of connecting lines
%radiatlng from the common progeni
tor OF the family to his descendants
The French, always fond Of painting
word pictures of familiar objects, re
ferred to "a chart of this nature as 4
'~pied-desgrue," or cranes foot. on &C
count of the resemblance between thu
two. The English appropriated TIL
term bodily and translated it phenet
ically Is pedigree"

Remarkable Investigations inse the
habits of fish are being carried cut by
the British ministry Of fisheries. The
object is to discover how far and In
what direction fish travel; whether
there are seasons in which organized
mixratiOns take place; and how fast
vAriaus kinds OF fish grow. A special
research steamer has been fitted with
tanks through which sea-water flows
continuously. This vessel sets out
from LOwestoft and small hauls are
made at selected spots. The catch Is
shot into a tank, and the liveliest
specimens are measured and marked
After this they ;ar put into a %econd
tank, and all ,sickly fish are weeded
out. The best specimens are set free
and a record Is kept Of the places
where they were released.

FLOWER BROUGHT BIG PRICE
English HorticuIturists Paid Large
Sum for American Plant With
Somewhat Peculiar History.

Ten thousand dollars is an extraOr-
binary price for a single plant; yet it
was paid by English horticulturists
for an orchid raised in America, the
cattleya gigas alba.
This cattleyH was Powered in 1910
and exhibited at an orchid show in
the United States, where it was
awarded a gold medal. The plant was
found in 1909 in a lot of other speci>
mems Of cattleya gigas. 1t was only
by chance that the plant was not sold
for a dollar Or two. The only reason
was that, after most Of its companions
had been disposed of, this one, with
some others was set aside. Finally
all the specimens were potted.
To the great surprise Of the horti'
culturists WREN, next spring, the plant
came up, It was with pure white flow
ers. Tire plant was sold In London
for perhaps the highest figure that ar
orchid ever brought.

CARED LITTLE ABOUT MONEY
Daniel Webster Refused to Be Both.
cred Over Comparatively Paltry
Questions Of Finance.

In A. B. Farqunhar's sTile First
Million the Hardest" he optimisticaliy
points u that the senate has greatly
improved In business integrity since
Daniel Webster's day. when senators
could not be expected to bother about
paying their bills. Mr.. FarQuahar was
once talking with Mr.. Corcoran (of
the Corcoran art gallery fame) in his
bank at Washington. Daniel Webster
had just been In to borrow money
and had asked the cashier to discount
his note for 500. The bank did not
discount notes that were not Endorsed,
80 Webster went out and brought In
a note for 5000, Endorsed by another
senator with whom he had promised
to divide the profits. Mr.. Corcoran
remarked that the only value Of the
note was as a curiosity. It vas
paid, and the Riggs bank still has It.
Daniel Webster was very careless
about all OF his personal AFFAIRS" says
Mr.. Farquahar. "He was said to be
debts, but he did not bother with little
bills. He often thought it quite enough
to give a creditor a copy Of his sig
nature without bothering to honor the
promise to pay on 1t.
HE was such a powerful, leonine
sort of q man and his voice a SO
glorious and magnificent that l do
not believe any one in the country
would have ventured to mention such
a trivial thing as money in his pres
ence. Few more impressive men have
ever lived-in fact, he had been called
a living lie, because. ms was said, mo
man could possibly be as great as
Webster looked"

ALMOST IS MISSING LINK"
Gorilla Very Closely Resembles the
Animal for Which Scientists Have
Been vainly Seeking.

The gorilla has no foe but man. No
f1esh-eating animal in his territory ID
large enough to harm him. The gorilla
is a vegetarian, SO he kills no animals
for food, and he has not progressed
sufficiently along the paths Of man to
enjoy killing az a sport. He lives IN
amity with the elephants, buffalo, and
all the wild creatures In his neiyhbOr-
hood. and in the Mikeno region lin Az
rica) the natives drive their cattle in
to the gorilla's mountains In the dry
season of the year without molestation.
Altogether, then, al the gorilla has
no enemies, he has no need to fashion
himself a bed out Of harms way, writes
Carl e. Akeley in the Worlds Work.
All the gorilla beds l saw were on the
ground. They consisted of q pile Of
leaves, about what the long arms Of q
gorilla could pull together without
moving. l saw no signs of their oc-
cupying these hastily constructed Sleep
ing places more thar. once.
The gorilla makes no abode, has no
clothes, uses no tools, unless grasping
q stick may indicate the beginnings Of
such an idea. 1t Is still before the
dawn Of intelligence with him. Yet
scientists tell me that he has the pal
ate and muscles that enable man to
talk. In spite Of Mr.. Garner the 60
r1lla cannot talk, but no n knows how
near to it he is, perhaps a very long
way. OF course, a parrot can be taught
to talk, but a parrot has no brains to
speak of, 90 that his talking is of nc
Significance. But recent studies Of the
brain of John Daniel e to place his
brain about N q par with that OF Z
two-year-old child. Now, a twO-year
old child can both talk and think. Il
the gorilla with his child's brain coult
learn to use his voice W. like a par
rot, we should have come very near t.
having a contemporaneous missing
link" This, of course, is a very un
likely thing to happen, and 1t Is no
necessary, for science can make deduc
lions from the gorilla's brain, muscle
habits, etc, which will enable us t
understand more OF the gorilla's sig
niflcance or evolution without such
spectacular event as his acquiring
speech. / mention such a thing mere
ly as an unscientfic way Of trying t
dramatize the importance of the stud,

SANDWICH" LONG, IN DISPUTE
invention. Of Toothsome Morssi Has
Been Credited to Many, including
the Great Napoleon.

Both Napoleon and Lord Sandwich
have been given credit for inventing
the sandwich, but Voltaire, in his his
tory Of Charles the Twelfth. king Of
Sweden, tells Of how the king during
HE campaign in Poland and Russia
never OF. seldom took time to sit down
and eat his meals, but generally stood
up, spread some butter on a piece Of
bread with his thumb and put q piece
Of meat, ish or cheese on top OF the
butter. This happened almost n
hundred years before Napoleon.
And In 1862, or seven years before
Napoleon was born, Edward Gibbon Of
decline and Fall" fame. noted in his
journal under date Of November "a:

That respectable body affords every

When Napoleon was two years old

Of his, 1.-The Maid of Bath" staged In
1771. But the origin of the word was
traced by Pierre Jean Crosby In his

the word as having recently come into
use. The title to authorship rests will

Change.

Chiropodists at a convention discuss
the probability that women In another
few generations will have only four
toes.
Tight shoes are def0rming and
dwarfing the little toe. Instructors at
swimming pools frequently comment
on the number OF women whose little
toes have almost disappeared.
Back of this is the biological prin-
ciple that nature makes additions to
the body when needed. and takes away
parts no longer necessary. Thus fish
in Mammoth cave are blind, not need
Ing eyes. A change OF diet has made
a long human organ shrixel into A
