Why Colored Balls Are Used

The method of voting upon the ad-
mission of new memcers in lodge
is a survival of the method used by
the ancient Greeks. In many of
their elections the Greeks he'd an
urn to represent each canaidate.
The voter would toss a white peb-
BILE into the urn if he favored the
candidate, and black one if he
wished to vote against him. Many
lodges and fraternal organizations
have revived this system, white
ball being in favor of a candidate
for membership and a black one for
rejection. In some organizations a
single black ball is sufficient to de-
feat the candidate; in other words,
the person can not become men,
ber of the organization without the
approval of the entire membership.
Thus we have the phrase "to black
ball." meaning to reject. Our word
ballot" is derived from the French
'ballotte," meaning little ball.

How Our Continent Came
to Be Called "America"

Our continent was named, of
course, for Amerigo Vespucci, the
Florentine navigator and merchant,
who first visited the new world five
years after its discovery by Colum-
bus. Vespucci was ship chandler
in Spain and, having helped to fit out
a number of expeditions, decided i'll
1897 to make voyage westward
himself. Between then and his death
in 1912 he went on four or five eX-
peditions to America.
More important for his own fame,
he wrote book which was the first
to show that South America was
continent and not an archipelago.
It was translated into several Ian
guages, and did much to acquaint
scholars with the character of the
transatlantic discoveries. For this
reason, one of his tranSlators, the
German, Martin WaldSeemueller
proposed in 1897 that the now con-
tincnt be named for Vespucci. TIE
suggestion had a gradual adoption,
and the name America, which Wald-
seenueller had offered, came finally
to be extended to the northern con-
tinent as well as the SOUTHERN
Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Why a Battleship May Be
Called "Dreadnaught"

In 1907 the British navy launched
a vessel of radically different and
most formidable character. 1t was
the first warship which had a main
armament consisting of big guns all
of the same caiber These were 10
12-inch guns, which were supple
mented by "a 12-pounders. The YES
sci, which embodied other new fea-
lures, was named the Dreadnaught.
1t revolutionized naval building
practice, and all ships of its type
came to be called dreadnaughts.
Later vessels embodying the same
principles, but with heavier arma-
ment and increased tonnage, be-
came "superdreadnaughts."
Since the World war, though, there
has arisen a new distinction between
fighting ships The Battle OF Jut-
land demonstrated certain weak
nesses in construction, and build
ers have tried to avoid them in YES
sells laid down since. The newer
ships are therefore often called
'post-Jutland" types, as opposed to
'pre-Jutland."

WHY
Rooster Is Used on Weather
Vanes on Buildings.

According to Brewers Dictionary
of Phrase and Fable, a papal enact
ment was made in the middle OF
the Ninth century, setting up this
emblem of st. Peter on every
church steeple, in allusion to his
denial of his Master three times
before the cock croWed twice.
Chambers Book of Days says the
rooster emblem was devised to IN
dicate clerical vigilance, while
apart from symbolism the large
tail was well adapted to turn with
the wind.
Walsh's Handbook of Curious In
formation mentions an old Latin
poem which illustrates the mystical
meaning given to the weathercock
in medieval times. It's substance is
that as the weathercock keeps watch
from the higher tower, hears the
angels songs, is crowned like a
king and has spurs like a soldier,
protects and provides for his flock,
etc, so the priest should keep watch
for his flock, be nearer to heavenly
things than the laymen, have SUI
preme authority and should protect
his congregation with spiritual COM
fort. Mention is also made III this
authority of a possible origin i'll the
warlike ensign of the Goths, as well
as in the emblem of the French.

"PieceS-Of-Eight"

The Spaniards at one stage in
their history were very active in
foreign trade. And for this trade a
standard coin was equired-hence
those ''pieces-of-eight." t." This was
known as the Spanish dollar or
'peso duro" "hard coin"
in Spanish. 1t was equivalent to
eight ''reals" or shillings. The dol
lar sign-S-was suggested by the
coat-of-arms of the city of Cadiz,
which consisted of two pillars, each
entwined with an S-like scroll. 1t
was an immense gain to business
when this sign was introduced into
use, as it supplied standard of
value which came to be recognized
the world. round.

Early Inventors

Eli Whitney devised not only the
cotton gin but the system of inter-
changeable parts, without which
quantity production of such things
as sewing machines, rifles, auto
mobiles and watches would be inn
possible. Blanchard patented wood
working machinery. Mccormick and
a half dozen imitators and rivals
perfected the reaper Colt patented
his revolver-the Hoes came along
with fast newspaper printing
presses. Mergenthaler and Lanston
supplemented their work with the
linotype and monotype machines,
thus realizing the old dream of do
ing away with type-setting by hand.

HOW
FRENCH LEAVE" GOT IT'S
JOT CE1 TN OTTD ANCTIACE1 -

FRENCH LEAVE" GOT IT'S
PLACE IN OUR LANGUAGE
French leave is secret depar-
ture, especially without paying
ones debts. To take French
leave, in the common sense, ac-
cording to a writer in the In
dianapolis News, is to go away
or do something without notice
or permission. The phrase, it is
believed, originated with an
Eighteenth century social GUS
tom in France.
According to accepted prac-
tice, a person withdrawing from
a reception or other social gath
ering takes formal leave of the
host and hostess. This cere-
mony was dispensed with ac-
cording to a fad introduced in
France. A person who wished
to leave early would merely
withdraw quietly without dis
turbing the remainder of the
company. The practice had
some vogue in England where
it was frowned upon by con-
servative society people. They
called it taking French leave"
The earliest use of the phrase
recorded by the New English
Dictionary is one from Smollett
written in It'll. To desert in
French is "S'en aller Cor fler)
a Panglaise"; that is, to leave
English fashion. This has led
some etymologists to suppose
that French leave" originally
meant desertion from the army
and originated during wars be-
tween France and England,
when it was customary for each
people to accuse the other of
But evidence is lack |
ing to support the theory.

Why Colder Weather Is Coming

A meteorologist, H. H. Clayton of
Massachusetts, believes the sun
spots which are now increasing in
their 11-year cycle will bring colder
weather. This prediction is made
on the basis of studies of previous
effects of sun-spots. He says that
in the next four years there will be
one and perhaps two cold winters
and springs, and one or two cool
and wet summers. He sees another
dry period for the eastern United
States from 1914 to 1949.-Pathfind-
er Magazine.

How to Clean Feathers

The best way to rid feathers of
lice and mites, says writer in the
Montreal Herald, is to put them in
an oven and subject them to the
greatest heat possible without let
ting them burn. They will catch
fire easily, so it will be advisable to
place them in a receptacle raised a
couple Of inches from the bottom of
the oven and it may be necessary

How Exchange Alley Got Name

"Old Naw Orleans" by Stanley
Arthur, says: 'The fiat marble

Merchants exchange during the
golden boom days of New Orleans.
Erected in 1855 at a cost of $780,
900 from designs by Charles Bing-
ley Dal1in, the building, as it does
now, fronted on both Royal street
and the Ruelle or alley in the rear.
This narrow thoroughfare was Gre
ated in 1881 and as the exchange
was planned TO have two entrances,
the alley was named Passage de la
Boursc or Exchange Passage"

Why Preakness Is So Called

The name Preakness, as applied
to the $50, 900 stake run at the Pimi-
co spring meeting, is SO called after
the horse that won the first Dinner
Party stake, afterward known as
the Dixie stake, at Pimlico, in 1870,
the most famous racing event of
the time. The farm of M. H. San
ford, owner of the winner, in New
Jersey, was called Preakness, and
the horse was named after his home.
The Preakness stake was first run
at Pimlico in 1878, and was won by
John F. Chamberlin's Survivor.

Wrinkles Reveal Character

Wrinkles on the face tell per
sons character. For instance, small
lines running from the eyes towards
the temples, called ''snile lines, "
show the person who sees the
bright side of life the optimist,
notes writer in Pearson's Weekly.
The line running straight between
the eyes towards the bridge of the
nose denotes the deep thinker, also
the nervous person. The wrinkles
underneath the eyes, "crow's feet,
are also "smile lines" and indicate
a lovable and happy nature, and are
a sign of wisdom and not of age.

"UncIe Toms Cabin" Abroad

"Uncle Toms Cabin" reached
England in the spring of 1852 and
more than a million copies of the
book were sold there by the end of
the year. English children of all
classes were brought up on the book
for at least 20 years thereafter, the
Victorian children being allowed to
read the book where a hundred and
one other books of that day were
deemed too vulgar for their minds.

Indians Blamed Spirits

AS an offering to the spirits for
luck, some of the Indian tribes of
Ohio would hang tobacco on the
totem poles in their villages before
starting out on hunting expedition.
While the redskins were away, white
men in the vicinity would sneak in
and steal the tobacco, which was
of a superior quality. and upon
their return, the Indians thought
that the spirits had taken their prod

a well-developed violent tornado the
atmospheric pressure at the center
of the whirl is SO much less than
the pressure in the surrounding at
mosphere that as the whirl passes
over building the sudden decrease
in pressure outside the building is
often sufficient for the air inside the
