BasiIica Greek Name
for Hall of Justice

The word basilica is OF Greek origin,
being derived from the Greek word,
written with Latin letters), "basill-
kos meaning kingly. From that word
has been formed the English adjective,
basliic, meaning royal, also said of GER
tain parts or substances on account of
their supposed Importance or efficiency.
The word baslilca, as a term of archi-
lecture, meant originally at Athens a
portico on the agora In which the
archon-basilens dispensed justice, that
is, al Athens the basllica was the porch
Of the courthouse. Later, when Rome
had become the mistress of the world.
the word basillca meant rectangular
hall, divided into nave and aisles by
ranges of columns, and with raised
platform, called the tribune, at one
end. Ii was used as hall OF justice,
hall for the use of the high courts.
II was in such hall that the praetors
held their courts and later under the
emperOrs the projects courts met Ia
a basllica The project or judge sat
on the tribune or platform, with the
assessors or law advisers on either
hand. Sometimes an emperor presided
when the case was an appeal, in a
criminal matter, from the decision of
a governor Of province. It was be-
fore such court, held in such a hall,
that the appeal Of ST. Paul was heard.
tn later years when Christianity had
spread throughout western Europe, the
Christians often adopted the basillca
as The pattern Of their larger places
Of worship. Hence basiiica now means
church built on the plan OF the basil
ica Of ancient Rome.

"You want to think lack, my dear"
said Granny IF you didn't you would
be thinking supply and you know that
thinking right brings things right in
the end. OF course thinking about a
big supply of nuts won't make things
right"
"What else do we need, should like
you to tell me-" said Mrs. Young
Squirrel.
"Good thoughts, supply of kind
thoughts toward your neighbor, for
one thing" replied Granny. when
Mrs. Red Squirrel comes chattering in
your tree and tries to make you angry
SO you will chase her, just think of her
as a nice, kind, good creature and put
out of your thoughts the quarrelsome
neighbor YOU have always seen in
her."
Granny Squirrel is crazy" Mrs.
Young Squirrel told her neighbor, Mrs.
Gray. "She sits there talking about
having all she needs when the ground
is about bare of nuts, and seeing
somebody who isn't anywhere around.
Poor old granny, she will starye this
winter"
But Granny didn't starve. Instead,
she had good supply OF nuts, and
one day, when Mrs. Young Squirrel,
who was looking rather thin and far
from well fed happened TO call, Gran
ny Squirrel treated her TO nut cakes
and tea.
Where did you get nuts for cake
this time in the winter?" asked Mrs
Young Squirrel. You could not have
stored any, because there were none.
1t was a dreadful season for us poor
creatures"
NO, my dear, did not store any
nuts" answered Granny, but | have
had plenty, for some kind person put
nuts and bits of fat and other dainties
every day on shelf near my home and
| have all can use and to spare
lyon see, it is as told you. If we
will know the good is here we shall
never know the lack of 1t. Have an
other nut cake and some more tea, my
dear"
Mrs. Young Squirrel nibbled her
cakes and wondered if, after all, Gran
ny was as crazy as she had thought
her to be, for she looked not only
plump, bat happy as well.

Conscience tung individuals from all

They considered long trousers child

afraid they would look ridiculous IL
they abandoned knee-breeches.

Bees Send Scouts for Food

An eminent German professor who
has made profound study of bees
states that bees do sort OF fox trot
and rely much on their dancing as a
means of communicating Ideas to their
associates. In experiments the pro-
lessor said he learned that bees send
out scouts to search for food. The
scouts, If successful. return to the
hives and then execute dance, which
attracts their associates who smell
the perfume the scouts have collected
and then follow the scouts back to
where the food awaits them. The pro-
fessor says he also has learned that
bees are unable to distinguish scarlet,
but readily recognize other colors. He
asserts that he has fed bees on all
colors and has proved that they are
blind only to the crimson hue.

Connects Common Word
With Interesting Story

, Probably none of our readers think
of sack" as word In any way re-
markabIe, but DR.. C. G. Williamson in
his book Curious Survivals' reminds
us that the word has a strange origin
and is connected with curious story.
We probably got that word ''sack,"
he says, from Coptic or Egyptian
word "sok," which means kind OF
canvas or cloth from which a bag was
made, Tie word survives Sackincloth.
The story Is that the word .'sok"
was the last word uttered before the
tongues were COMPOUNDED at Babel and
that consequently it appears in every
language in an almost Identical form.
Curiously enough, the second state
ment is true
The irish "sac" is the same as the
French word: the Latin ''saccus" is
closely related to the Italian 'sacco"
and to the Spanish 'saco.' In Greek
1t is "sakkos," in Hebrew ''sak" or
"saq," in Egyptian or In Coptic "sok,"
in Dutch Yak" and in Swedish sack:
and the same word appears in many
other languages without any real
change. In slang or colloqulal talk we
now apply 1t in quite another fashion,
when we talk of a persons getting
the sack we intend delicately TO init
mate that he has been discharged from
his employment. That use we prob
ably derive from the Turkish custom

Pipe-Organ Evolution
of Twenty Centuries

More than 20 centuries ago barber
made the discovery that in moving his
mirror In the pursuit Of his duties all
was forced through the tubes of the
crude contrivance, causing sweet
musical sound So struck was he By
this popularity that he set about max.
ing an instrument which was the foun
dalton of the modern. organ. After
several experiments he made a water
flute, in which air was forced by bel
lows through an inverted cone which
led to flutes controlled by keyboard
the pressure being kept uniform by
water. After a thousand years rival
instrument made its appearance. This
was of similar pattern, but, instead
Of water, weights regulated the pres
sure. In 951 an organ was erected az
Winchester, England. 1t had 20 bel
lows and ten pipes TO each key. Two
men who sat at the keyboard "blew
and sweated enormously" Later, a
firm of organ makers in Germany sue
ceeded in erecting the first really big
instrument. The primary stops did
not differ very much from those of to-
day, although various novelties were
introduced. Among the innovations
were the nightingale and cuckoo stops.
while others represented cock-crowing
and goat-bleating. Though these
novelties have now fallen into disuse,
an organ with one of these nightingale
stops is still to be seen in Rome. II
was not until the Nineteenth century
that the problem of the regulation Of
air pressures was solved by the intro
ductlon of the hydraulic blower.
