eThe Toronto Hospital for Incur d-
a fisheryin the North Sea, was re-
markably scarce In the years 1916,
1917 and 1918—se much so, indeed,
that the scarcity of the species was
believed to be due to some cause de-
trimental to fish lite.
It is suggested that the cause in
question may have been oil from sunk-
en ships, which, if present in con-
siderable quantities, would' -be very
destructive to young "fry" swimming
in schools at the surface.
Whatever may have been the fact
in the case, it is certain that oil only

form a continuous fill, ort the surface

BABY'S HEALTH
I asked this queetion of a success-
fel poultryman.
"Because they go on strike," he
answered, without smiling. "it's the
truth," he continued, noting my look
of incredulity. "They strike the same
as we hunn ti ; do, but net for more
wages, of course. They strike for bet-
ter food. Hens must have green food
to make good layers.
"When I first entered the poultry
business I noticed this sante thing,
and I often wondered at it, After e:
perimenting a while, I learned the
cause. It was the lack of green food
that kept them from 'eying well in

Experience has shown how neces-

That celebrated meteorologist,

ROSE
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A flower or color.
The family name of Rose, simple
as it seems, is one that is full of com-
plexities. While there is one source
from which It appears reasonably cer-
tain that a very large proporlon of the
families which bear it can trace it,
there are many other possibilities .pre-
sented upon which little light can be
thrown. In the case where the word is
combined with another in the forma-
- ;•tion of a family name the tracing of
. ;the source is simple, though the trail
;leads in an opposite- direction so of -
;ten as to make it doubtful how often
the name of Rose itself is really re-
lated to these compounds.
The one certain source of the name
lies in the custom of tradesmen of the
'middle ages, erecting. signs in front
of their places of business, bearing
pictures rather than -words, since the
bulk of the' population could not read.
The rose was in quite common use for
this purpose, and, in the natural
course of events, such tradesmen as
need it often adopted Rose as a sur-
name, or had it thrust upon them in
the speech of their neighbors and cus-
tomers.
In some instances, no doubt (but
how often is a question for specula-
tion) the name is- a changed spelling
or the old word for "red," which has
given us such names as Russell, Ron
sell and Ross, and the word russet, or
a change dspelling of the name Ross
—which, in its turn, however, is not
always certainly derived from this
source.
Rose is the name of an ancient but
small clan in Scotland, yet the name
does not appear to be of Gaelic origin.
Indeed, authorities differ as to the or-
igin of the clan itself., the ancient
home of which was in Nairnshire,
some accounts declaring that the
name was originally "de Roos," and
that the clan was of Norman-French
origin. Others declare it to be. of
Norwegian origin, and claim that it
first used the name of Geddes: The
clan first appears in history the time
of King Alexander III., the last Celtic
monarch of Scotland, toward the close
of the thirteenth century.

The Trench of Bayonets.
The bayonets still protrude through
the sod under which the soldiers
stand buried. That Is the striking
thing about perhaps the most remark-
able memorial of the war—a trench on
the=French front between Thiaumont
and Douaumont that was occupied by
the third company of the 137th Regi-
ment. According to one story, a shell
exploded on the parapet and buried
the inen alive as they stood. Accord-
ing,.to another 'story, the Germans
took the trench, crumbled and shat-
tered by shell fire, after all its de-
fenders were either wounded or killed,
and then hurriedly filled it in, and to
mark the spot left the guns of the
dead soldiers upright beside them.
Whichever story is true, the bayonet
trench dramatically shows how heroic
was the defence of Verdun. An Ameri-
can, Mr. George F. Rand, was so much
moved at the sight that he:built over
the trench a monument to perpetuate
the memory of the brave"poilus buried
below. That monument was dedicated
last December with appropriate cere-
nioni.es.
