The Word "JoUial''

The word 'jovial" conceals the name
of Jupiter, or Jove. A "jovaal" per-
son is theoretically, at least, a person
born under the influence Of the planet
Jupiter, or Jove
This planet was supposed to be the
most joyful of all the planets to be
born under, just as Saturn is the least
joyful.
Gradually the word "5ovial'' became
ASSOCIATED from the astrological sig
nifcance and was generally applied
to persons who indicated the quality
of joyfulness ascribed to birth under
q joyful planet
Thus many a word in the English
language, in common use, traces its
origin to mystic beginnings and beliefs
in the darkness of past ages. Dir

Tond-Stone

The toad-stone is generally de-
scribed as a species of black pebble
of no especial beauty as an ornament.
During the Dark ages, however, it was
in great demand. 1t was supposed to
protect children from the molestation
Of fairies and to cure kidney and stom-
ach troubles.
That a common toad wears pre-
cious jewel In it's head was profound
belief In the Middle ages. Its pos
SCISSOR was supposed to be immune
from toothache, so the legend runs,
and 1t was a sure antidote for poisons.
These creatures were said to forewarn
against venom by transmitting a
smarting sensation to the flesh. The
toad was credited with having natu-
raj fear and antipathy for man as well
as for all venomous reptiles, hence its
warning.

Clouds Vary Greatly
in Their Composition

Air Is viscid. like molasses, but Of
course not so sticky. Not only is it
viscid, but its viscosity varies greatly
with temperature and pressure. On the
ground clouds diffuse rapidly, higher
up they are ropy and still higher they
are granular, Ike sand grains On a
beach. There are cloud levels and
clear spaces In the air where clouds
are rare or never go. These levels
were determined before the earth
took its shape. They are fixed by the
dynamic laws Of the globe, says the
Rehoboth Sunday Herald.
The lowest clouds lie at less than
5000 feet above the ground, and they
would float there if this world we're
all gaseous, like the planet Jupiter is.
On stormy days they do, in fact, come
as near to the land as they can, and
hug the ground so closely that they
make the day dark These clouds
are heavy rolling pillows.

Fox Hunter Puzzled
Over Scent Mystery

NO one should write of hunting with
out abiding to the important question
Of scent. To ignore the subject is
grayely unconventional, If not worse
That at least is the excuse which Miss
q. q. Somerville offers for quoting
this incomprehensible incident in her
memories of Irish life:
We were hunting In the hills. It
was bright and sunny day with light
and vanishing touch Of frost The
hounds were drawing along the south
ern side of a high hill covered with
short rough grass and heather. with
furze brakes here and there among
the rocks. We had not found" but
the hounds we're busy "featheringp
and were obviously sure that a fox
had been about Then one Of the field
rode up to me and said with the icy
calm that so often masks the fullness
of pride:
'aThere'e your fox, masterw He
pointed with his whip to something
that looked like rusty can lying I'M
der a furze bush.
A fox Not as I first feared dead,
but very much alive, l cracked my
whip at him. and he slid away over
the hill, crossing after half a dozen
yards or so a wide blackened patch
where furze had been burnt. In an
instant we brought the hounds to the
place where he had lain. They made
no outcry. They were interested. but
no more than that. We took them on
and crossed the burnt patch, and sud-
denly on its farther verge they all put
their heads down and went away with
a shout, and we had a brilliant forty
minutes. till the fox beat us on the
edge OF the sea and got safe into
slit In the cliffs.
Why should the bed Of the fox have
been less odorpus than his light feet.
and why did the hounds not acknowl-
edge him until he had crossed the
burnt bit of hill? These things are a
mystery.-Youth's Companion.

No Better Conducted
Office in The State
Make a Fair Comparison
Editor Monmouth Inquirer:

Editor Monmouth Inquirer;
Wonder what Mayor Miller Dem
ocratic candidate, is thinking of when
he talks of Atlantic County's
Clerks Office yielding u larger gross
return than Monmouth County's under
Joseph McDermott2
atlantic City is beehive OF real
estate activity, with deeds, mortgages
and searches galore. Monmouth has
nothing of the kind. Why, if Mayor
Miller wants to be fair, does he not
compare counties where 'ondltions are
similar?
Freehold has double the bank deposits
in proportion to population OF Long
Branch. Mr.. Miller might as well try
to hold some official responsible foI
that.
Mr.. McDermott's office can well
stand comparisons fairly made as tc
revenue yield and it comes to service
there is no office in any county that
SURPRISES it. Why try to pull the WOO
over the public's eyes?

Process of GrOt0th
of Human Language

An artificial speaking machine vas
demonstrated by Sir Richard Paget.
By blowing into it and lingering stops
he mechanically produced complete
words and sentences.
He used this device to illustrate his
theory of the development of human
language from the unintelligible roars,
grunts, squeaks. bowls and whistles of
our prehistoric ancestors.
In those early days, he said, ac-
cording to the New York World, man
used his larynx to roar, to grunt with
and at the same time he communicated
his ideas to others by grimaces and
the movements Of tongue and lips.
The next step was the discovery that
by blowing air through the mouth
while he was grimacing the move
ments of his tongue and lips produced
changes Of whispered sounds, so that
the various grimaces could be recog-
nized even when his back was turned.
The last stage In the great inven-
ton Of speech came when our prlIni-
tive ancestors discovered that by roar
ing and grunting at the same time as
they whispered the audible grimace
became recognizable ten or twenty
times farther off than before They
also found that they could vary the
note of their roars and grunts with
out interfering with the recognition of
the grimace. And so they invented
the art of song.
