English Trade-Marks
Many Centuries Old

English legislation trending toward
the authorization Of trademarks began
In 1885. In that year parliament pro-
vided that -every baker shall have a
mark Of his own for every sort OF
bread" This was followed in 1853 by
Edward Ills provision that every mas
ter goldsmith have q mark.
Under Henry V appears an ordi-
nance for marking barrels; and one OF
these early signs, dating back to 142O,
Is still used by the London Ooopers'
company. BY 1888 Randle Holmes,
writing OF his Investigations through
out the kingdom, reported Chester to
be full Of merchant marks. And short
ly thereafter the practice became the
institution.
Many Of the present British com
panies hold devices dating back to the
Seventeenth century.-Exchange.

Tunesten of Great Value

Tungsten or wolfram Is metallic
element isolated by the brothers DBL
hujart in 1888, after Scheele had, in
It'll, isolated tungstic acid. Tungsten
Is not found native, but occurs as the
tungstate Of iron and manganese IN
the mineral wolframite, as the calcium
tungstate or scheelite, as the trioxide
or wolfram ochre, and in small guam
titles In other minerals. Tungsten min
erals are almost invariably found In
tin ores It is used to increase the
hardness and tenacity Of steel and
thus improve 1t as a material for hard
tools. Coolidge has succeeded In rem
derlng tungsten 'malleable and ductiie,
and at present tungsten wire Is widely
used for making incandescent lamp
flaments.

Small Village Mother
of CITY of Baltimore

Far to the north on the southeastern
coast Of Newfoundland Ia little VII
lage called Ferryland, says writer In
the Baltimore Sun. This small, wind
blown town Of some sparse five hun
dred Inhabitants ia in way the moth
er Of a buxom, prosperous daughter to
the south, the city Of Baltimore.
In 1928 George Calvert, Lord BALTIC
more, arrived In North America with 2
charter which gave him most of the
island Of Newfoundland, called the
province of Avalon. He founded his
first colony In the new country on the
site Of this village Of Ferryland and
settled there with his family.
But finding the climate more rigor-
Gus than he thought comfortable, he
asked Charles I for a grant Of land
north of the Potomac river and planned
to move to warmer regions. His re-
quest was granted, but before the
final negotiations were completed he
died.
His son, Cecilius Calvert, second
baron of Baltimore, completed the
transaction in 1882 and named his
colony Maryland in compliment to the
queen, Henrietta Maria.
y And SO it was that Ferryland was
left to struggle with the bleak winds
blowing Off the rugged coast where 1t
chung up on the hillside. But though
small, 1t was wiry, and today 1t still is
alive, not a great deal larger than II
was In the days of its early youth sew
eral hundred years ago, but still sound
and hearty.

Many-Sided Mule

Those who are supporters Of the mule
say, In comparison with the horse, he
lives longer, endures more work and
hardship, requires less attention and
feed, and Is less liable to digestive dis
orders, iameness and disease. The diff.
fculty is to know how to handle the
mule because OF the fact of combina-
ton Of stubbornness and willingness,
temper and sullenness, slyness and do
cility, faithfulness and waywardness.
The mule must be understood, and
gently but firmly persuaded to do
things out Of the ordinary.
