Ancients Enjoyed Many
Kinds of Iced Drinks

Early history of ice cream is frag-
mentary and the name of the actual
originator is not known. 1t is re-
corded that Alexander the Great,
the Ptolemys and julius Caesar pre-
ferred iced drinks" made with
wine and snow, resembling our wa
ter ices. The writings of Marco
Polo mention certain frozen sweets
he enjoyed in China in 1875. Italian
records indicate a thriving ice
cream trade there in the Fifteenth
century and Catherine de Medici,
when she moved from Florence to
France, took her own "gelateria"
or freezing plant with her. The first
printed record of it in England ap-
peared in 1859.
Legends differ on its introduction
into America, but credit most gen.
orally is given to the Virginia Cava-
iers, notes writer in the Philadel-
phia Inquirer. In 1777 what is proba-
bly, the first advertisement for ice
cream appeared in a New York pa
per. During the administration of
James Madison, his wife, Dolly,
served it frequently at her levees.
In 1882 Negro confectioner of this
city, Augustus Jackson, offered ice
cream for sale at a dollar a quart.
Several accounts claim that this
man and the chef at the White
House during the Madison admins
tration are the same.

How Hello Originated

The Salutation hello" first ap-
peared in the English language as
''hollow" or 'hollo," being usually
pronounced with the stress on the
last syllable. In the Seventeenth
century the common form was chill
To-" which was replaced late in the
Eighteenth century by "hallo" or
"halloo." BY the middle of the
Nineteenth century this latter form
had been supplanted by "hullo."
The spelling hello" does not occur
in literature until about 1880, when
the word became the common salu-
tation over the telephone. Like most
intersections, the original source of
the word is unknown. "Holla," a
closely related exclamation and sal
utation, is supposed to be derived
from the French "ho," meaning no,
and "la," there. There is no evil
dence to support the popular theory
that hello" is a corrupted form of
"hail to YOU" The French telephone
greeting is "allo," evidently an
adaptation from the English.

OdOr Has Weight

The sensation of odor is caused
by minute particles of a substance
reaching the nose and affecting the
olfactory organs. These particles
have escaped by evaporation from
a volatile substance, and since vola-
tile substances will eventually evap-
crate completely their weight must
have been made up of these par
ticles. The particles have definite
weight, and because odor is caused
by them it may be said that odor
has weight.

Most of Britain's Large
Animals Have Faded Out

In the British isles there are
about 80 species of mammals, but a
thousand years ago the number was
much larger, for with the advance
of civilization the larger species dis
appeared. Up to 200 years ago
wolves roamed over the wilder parts
of the country, and in Ireland they
existed up to ITO.
In the reign of Charles II, writes
Oliver G. Pike, F. z. S., In London
Tit-Bits Magazine, hunting the wild
boar was favorite sport, but as
the great forests were cut down to
provide land for cultivation this fine
animal became extinct. Beavers
were to be found damming up our
streams when William the Conquer
or landed.
Many place names in this country
show that in the early days NAM
mails were common. Boarhunt,
Boarhills and Hogmer were named
after the boar; Brockenhurst,
Brockley, Brocketsbrae and Brock
after the badger; Bearsden and
Bearsted after the wild bear. and
Otterham, Otterspool and Offering
ton after the otter. The first to 60
was the bear. This animal likes q
secluded life, and as civilization in
creased it moved deeper into the
Businesses of the hills. The last spec
linen was destroyed in the Eleventh
century.
AS long as fox hunting is the sport
of the rich, the fox will remain with
us; in places the badger is perse-
cuted cruelty, although it would be
difficult to point out any harm it
does, while the good it can do in
Kidding the countryside of noxious
insects cannot be too highly empha-
sized.

Indian Named Red Jacket

Red Jacket (Sagoyewatha) was a
Seneca Indian chief who fought for

Because of his ability as runner,
he was favorite among the Off
GERS, one of whom presented him

made him conspicuous among his
people who henceforth called him
Red Jacket.

Meaning of Name Talbot

The name Talbot means "a blood
hound" Or rather, the common
noun talbot is the (Old English)
name Of the original stock of blood
hounds, according to Florence A.
Cowles in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er. The word is seldom used except
in heraldry, where the animal is
often part of device. But the
name Talbot is frequently heard as
a surname, less often as a given
name.
