Changing Eras in Japan

For centuries it was the practice
in japan to change the era every
time something epoch-making hap
pened, or when there occurred SINE
earthquake, drouth, pesti1ence or
famine which needed to be quickly
thrust out Of the present into the
past. The ruler who changed his
sras most was Godaigo, the ninety
sixth emperor. He was noted for
his misfortunes. In his reign of
% years (1318-1339 A. d. he
changed his year-name nine times.
Emperor Meizi, ascending the
throne in 1858, put a stop to this
practice Of frequently changing the
year-name. He decreed that each
emperor should use but one year
name, beginning and ending with
his reign.

Cloth Names Are Traced
To Some Other Countrie.

Many Of our names for cloth come
to us from the Orient. Calico is
from Calicut, India, the city from
which it was first imported. Doubt
less at first the term used was Cali
cut cloth, but phrases often shrink
in usage, and calico was an easy
evolution, says the Kansas City
Star. Madras, also In India, gave
us the cloth which bears its name.
This was first made from silk and
cotton, but the name is applied to
the same weave in cotton also, a
fabric which is much used for mems
shirts.
Damask is from Damascus. noted
long ago for its fine steel blades
and for its silks. Damask Is char.
acterized by woven designs which
represent flowers or conventional
figures. It was originally made Of
silk, but the name was later applied
to the same weave in silk, cotton,
rayon or wool used for hangings and
upholsteries, and to linen woven for
table napery and towels.
Linsey-woolsey is an old English
name from linsel, linen and wolsye,
wool. Many wooden fabrics bear
English names, such as melton,
from town of that name in Leices-
tershire and worsted, from a town
in Norfolk.

Exploration of Alaska
Credited to Sea Otter

The sea otter, his silky, soft,
dense pelt the most valuable known
to commerce, was responsible for
the exploration and early develop
ment Of that part of the North
American continent now known as
Alaska. For on the throne of Rus
STA sat pretty, capricious lady who
would and must have sea otter
skins, as she found them most be-
coming. Her Imperial Majesty Cath
crime II, empress of Russia, said
bring me furs," and furs were
brought, not only to Catherine the
Great, and her court, but to the
markets of Asia, recalls writer in
the st. Louis Post Dispatch. During
the closing years of the Eighteenth
century and the opening decade OF
the Nineteenth, it is estimated that
from 5000 to 10000 sea otter skins
were taken to Asia each year from
the southern waters of Alaska.
It was Peter the Great and his
empress, Catherine l, who first took
real interest in discovering more
about the great land, vaguely re-
ported to lie to the eastward. Under
their command, Vitus Boring, Dam
ish captain in the Russian service,
In 1928 discovered and named st.
Lawrence island, sailed through
Boring strait, and rounded East
cape. Thus Boring strait was on
the worlds map is years before the
first white man gazed upon the
Rocky mountains. On a second voy-
age Of exploration, Boring, in 1741,
made the actual discovery of main
land Alaska, landing near Prince
William sound. Boring died in the
new country he had discovered, and
after months of suffering and pri-
walton some Of his men returned
home bearing the first of those his

Meaning of Red Herring Across Path

A red herring is a herring Of
special grade which has been heav-
lily sailed and slowly smoked to give
it a rich brown or reddish color.
ITO draw red herring across ones
path, track or trail" means to at
tempt to divert ones attention from
the real question by raising side
issue. The saying originated among
sportsmen and was suggested by
an old practice described as follows
in "Gentlemen's Recreation" which
was written by man named Cox
and published in 1886: "The trailing
or dragging Of a dead cat, or fox
(and in case Of necessity a red-her-
ring) three or four miles ). i. and
then laying the dogs on the scent"
Dogs have a keen scent for red
herring, and if one is drawn across
the trail of a fox it will mislead
the hounds.

Chimes and CariIIons

Chimes are produced on eight or
ten bells usually with a range Of
only one octave that play only on
the full notes. Carillons are played
over two to four or five octaves,
ascending the scale with sharps and
fats by half tone notes. Twenty
three or more bells make carlton.
Few carillons in this country have
more than SO bells. The essential
difference between chimes and car
lions is the number Of bells and the
tonal range.

Martsn Prized for Its Fur

With the build of a dachshund and

marten is highly priced for its fur.
So soft and rich looking is its pelt
that it has been niclnamed the

shy, but, for their size, are among
the most bloodthirsty of all animals.
They live in trees. kill rabbits,
squirrels and other small game.
Despite this, they make good house
pets. Once tanned, they're death on
