The Martello Tower

The name Martello is supposed to
be derived from that of fort on Cape
Mortella, Corsica. which was captured
in 1904 by British naval force after
having put up very gallant fight
against a combined sea and land at
tack. This incident led to firm be-
lief in the strength of such towers, and
resulted in their erection along the
shores of England. especially in the
South and East. says the Montreal
Herald. Each one consists of small
circular tower Of solid masonry, two
stories high and containing vaulted
rooms. In the lower part stores were
kept; the upper portion was intended
for troops. and the whole building was
used as a means Of defense. 1t was
often surrounded by ditch. and the
only way Of access was by ladder
which connected with door about 20
feet above the ground. There was u.s.
ually small platform at the top with
sufficient room for two or three guns
to fire over the surrounding parapet.
The chief defect the towers had was
against vertical fire. so quite obvious
" they would be Of little use today
against aircraft.

Chihuahua Breed of Dogs
Loved by Queen Isabella

To the very throne room of Queen
Isabella Of Spain, who was born in
1474 and died in 1547, we must go for
the real beginning of the Chihuahua
breed Of dogs. Always lover Of ami
mails, the queen surrounded herself,
historians tell US, with great num-
Der Of pets and would allow no one
to harm them, especially a breed of
dogs which were small In size and
pure white In color. These. perhaps,
were the offspring Of the Spanish
pointer, which existed in Spain at
that time. At any rate, when the
queen popularized this breed it be-
came very common in Spain and most
every family had one or more.
Jean Grijalva, who discovered Cuba
and Mexico, and later fernando
Cortez, who in about 1893 landed in
Mexico with several boat loads of
soldiers and their families, brought
many Of these dogs from Spain.
These were crossed with the dark or
all-black Mexican dog, which was
much smaller than the Spanish dog.
This get, It Is claimed, was one OF the
ancestors Of the modern Chihuahua.
The Spaniards upon their arrival In
Mexico seemed to center about the
country Of Chihuahua in Mexico and
made it their headquarters. From
this the dogs got their name.

Naming of Planets After
Gods Dates Back 400 B. G..


The custom of naming the planets
after the names Of gods dates back to
at least 400 years before Christ. The
planet Mars. for instance. Is named
after the Roman god of war; Jupiter,
after the Roman god of rain and sky /;
and Neptune, after the Roman god Of
the salt water. Saturn is named after
the Roman god of agriculture.
The great festival Of Saturn, five
day holiday, took place in mid-Decem-
Der Of each year, and was called
Saturnalia. At this festival masters
and slaves made merry on equal foot
ing, and with unrestrained jollity and
abandon. This word. Saturnalia. has
come down to us through 1000 years
Of time. and today is used to signify
a feast Of wild and uncontrolled rev.
elry; in modern American slang,
"whoopee"
Automatically. Saturn Is males
tic and fascinating denizen of the
skies, without any Of the fearful
attributes with which astrology
charges 1t.
It's distance from the sun varies be-
tween S61 100000 and 911,O00,00O
miles. In point of distance from the
sun, It is the sixth planet; the five
planets nearer the sun being. In the
order of their position: Mercury,
Venus, the Earth, Mars and Jupiter.

Leg Rulers Are Used by
Spiders in Making Web

Although the most symmetrical web
ever made by spider Is not really
perfect, according to human standards,
scientists marvel at the accuracy with
which angles and distances are "meas-
ured." observes a writer.
The spider starts her geometrical
web with perimeter lines connecting
objects around space large enough
for her purpose. From these lines she
suspends few threads which con-
verge at the center of the future web.
Now begins the process of spacing the
radii.
She attaches the end of new radius
at the center and runs along spoke
already laid down, spinning out the
silk for the new one as she goes. When
she reaches the perimeter line, she
takes a fixed number Of steps along
1t and attaches the new thread. This
process is repeated until all the de-
sired radii are in place.
If the foundation lines should chance
to form wheel rim accurately circu-
lar, the distances between spokes
would be equal; but, since the perl
meter Is usually an irregular quad
rangle and never q circle, the spacing
varies somewhat.
The spiral turns of silk, which COM
plete the net. are more accurately
spaced than the radii, since the spin
ner lays down each new turn with her
foreleg touching the last one. Thus
the length Of the forelegs and the size
Of the spider determine these dis
tances.
Scout stepping" and use Of the
"leg ruler" are instructive in spiders.
Even when isolated from its kind
from the moment of its birth, a spi-
derling will produce exactly the same
web design as It's mother and In ex-
actly the same manner.
