EXTREMES OF LIFE
IN AIR AND OCEAN

The condor of the Andes has been
observed soaring at tremendous heights
above peaks themselves exceeding 90
600 feet. Naturalists say the condor
can fly at an altitude of five miles
above sea level. To go to the other ex-
treme, 1t is known that life exists in
the greatest depths Of the ocean. It is
said that the blacklist, coolest and re-
hottest abysses are tenanted by fish of
the strangest Of shapes and by colossal
cephalopods.
Ocean, earth, and the lower portions
Of the atmosphere form layers Of
strata of life. OF the lowest layer
least has been learned, yet 1t is known
that creatures which dwell in the
depths are specially made to withstand
the tremendous pressures, and are pro-
vided with luminous appendages so
that they may be visible to one an
other.-Grit.

Che Uhu
of
Superstitions
By H. IRDING KING
YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND

IN NEW ENGLAND they say that If
young woman looks into an un-
used well on the first Of May she will
see in the water below the face of her
future husband. In Georgia any well
will do. but the girl must look into 1t
at exactly high noon of May l through
a piece of smoked glass. In other Sec
tons it is recommended to hold look
ing-glass over the mouth of the we'll
and seek for the reflection of face in
the mirror These are unimportant
variations Of the same superstition,
which superstition dates back to the
worship of Tammuz on the Babylonian
plain and to the rites of those who
''mourned Osiris dead" by the waters
of the Nile; cults which, spreading
over Europe, became mingled with and
modified by indigenous mythologies Of
kindred significance. 1t was the delft
cation of the principles of nature-a
symbolizing of the yearly death and re-
suscitation of vegetation as the death
and resurrection of god, nature wor-
ship.
In England, whence we inherit our
May day observances, the festival of
the revival of the god was fixed for
May ], the state of vegetation at that
date making it an appropriate one. The
resuscitation of the god in his fecun-
dating power made his festival a fit
ting time for projects" concerning
marriage. And as Isis saw again her
husband, Osiris. on the festival Of his
return to life, as Ashtoreth looked
again upon Tammuz, her husband. at
the festival of his resuscitation, so the
manageable woman of today sees
her husband Chat Is to be) on May
day in the waters of well. In water
because in the cults of Tammuz and
Osiris water was the visible sign of
the formulating god, and in a we'll be-
cause in the Egypt of Osiris and In
those parts of Asia Minor where the
cult of Tammuz originated the vivi-
flying waters were seen sparsely or not
at all, in the form of rain, but swelling
streams and filling wells.

PHYLLIS

DHYLLIS might be classed with the
flower names, or more properly
perhaps, the sylvan names, of which
Sylvia and Laura and Daphne are
classic examples.
Phyllis means "green bough" 1t
comes from the Greek word phyllis,
signifying green leaf or bough The
tragic legend associated with the
origin of the name tells how Phyllis, a
ITALIAN damsel, hanged herself be-
cause her lover did not keep his prom
Use of returning from the wars to
marry her. She was changed into an
almond tree, in somewhat the same
manner that Daphne was transformed.
Domitian's nurse was called Phyllis
and the name also became popular in
Arcadian poetry. Like Sylvia, 1t was
bestowed so frequently upon pretty
rustic maidens that It came to be the
generic term for young girls. Later 1t
fell to the class of landmarks and Eng
lish literature Is replete with refer
ences to "neat-handed Phyllis in the
Kitchen"
In modern times, the name has re-
turned to its classic significance.
Phyllis is given In baptism by those
who have fondness for fanciful
names. Aside from its Grecian origin,
1t remains completely English, adopted
now by America, of course. No other
countries have granted it popularity,
since 1t is impossible to elaborate or
contract ii.
The amethyst is the talismanic stone
Of Phyllis. 1t promises her steadfast
friends, serenity, quick intelligence
and checks indulgences Of every sort.
Friday is her lucky day and her
lucky number. The primrose, signify
ing simplicity, Is her flower.

Cot Superstition,

A black cat running across the path
