INDIAN NAME SIGNIFIES
"COUNTRY WITHOUT
TREES.".
Investigations by Topographi-
cal Survey Reveal Unsuit-
ability of Name "Barren
Lands,r"
There bits been a growing interest
in recent years in the vest little-known
stretches of Northern Canada wlilch
has extended to the open country be-
yond the timberline, In narratives
'and reports of travellers and explorers,
they have been given the nume "Bar-
ren Lunds" which originated Iry the In
ilia]) name meaning "a country with-
out trees:," The interpretation is Un-
fortunate and a misnomer 'tutees pail -
ped by a sterile' soil or a climate, pro-
hibiting the growth of vegetation. The
word "barren" Is au uneomproinleing
one. Actually there is an arca lying
between the timberline'•andtide-water
in the Arctic ocean and, Hutton Bay
of about 600,000 spore miles,er near-
ly one-seventh or -the total of the Do-
minion, in addition to the -great islands
of the Arctic and a portion of northern
Quebec,
le Name Justified? i.
The extent_ of country involved
makes the .question en important one
worthy of serious attention. As an
approach to tho subject a survey of
available records might be made to,
determine if tiro name "Barren Lands";
is justified. If it Is not found to be
justified a more suitable. one should'
be selected, i
The interpretation got the Indians
name "De-ehiu 11 -le" (no : trees) as!
„Barren Grounds" was made by Sam -1,
eel Ilearue, who conducted in 1770-71
the first exploration into the country,'
FIis course to a large extent, however,'
held to the edge of the forests and he'
only left this to make his dash north'
to the Coppernilne and also when ap-1
preaching I3udson Bay. Moreover, he t
travelled the open country at unfavor-
able seasons. Ills name of "Barren;
Grounds," therefore, may be taken as
a carelesstranslation rather than a t
description. however, the name did !
carry an important idea affecting tra-I
vel through the country by describing'
tts lack of timber and fuel.
Re•Examination Begun.
A re-examination of the country has
been begun by the Topographical Sur-
vey of Canada.
The country so far examined is not
barren. Its vegetation is restricted
and it has a severe -Climate with ex-
aggerated extremes but its hills are
well clothed in shrubs, mosses, and
lichens, and in ata valleys especially
proceeding towards the coastal plains
there aro great stretches of pasture
land . Its animal life is abundant
though strongly migratory, adapting 17 -
self thereby to the conditions of abun-
dant food at season and a severe
climate at another. The country pro-
vides amply dor the essential require-
meute of lite In its animals and the
waters . of Ito lakes and Severs are
abundantly stocked with fish. It bas
also been found that the geological
situatien is favorable tor the occur-
rence of minerals.
Nature's Hair Springs.
Does one's hair really "stand on
end" with fright?
Each 'individual hair has a tiny
mode at its root, which, in the or-
dinary way, keeps the hair at and in
Position.
The :sensation of fright, however,
transmits a message frons the broth to
these muscles, with the result that

that the hairs are standing bolt up-

In short -haired animals, especially,
these hair muscles are easily. affected.
The hair stands eu end at the slight-
est sign of danger, ,enabling the ani-
mals to appear larger than they •really
ere, and thus ---sometimes, at least—
frighten their .enemies.
A Laughing Plant.
A naturalist recently returned Irons

ciety a plant called the "laughing Cac-

the fact that anyone eating its seed

to immoderate laughter, frequently
ending in nervous prostration.

Surnames and Their Origin

The family name et Graham is one

to trace. to Its origin. It is deservedly ,
classed as. Scottish because It le the
name of one of the most powerful of
the Highland clans, the name of which
in Gaelic Is _"Na Greuntaich," Thus, it
will be obeervod, the spelling et
"Greame" is more nearly correct, in
the sense that it le a closer approxi,.
motion of the old Gaelic form.
But though the vast majority of the
blood in the clan may be Gaelic, the
name is admitted even in the High-
lands to have come originally from
some Lowland source. But what? It's
more or less a mystery.
The clan- U•adltion has it that the
name traces back to one "Gramm,"
who demolished the Iine of defenses
built under the orders of the Roman
Emperor Antoninas between the Clyde
and the Forth. It is certain that such
a wall did exist, and that it was known
at a later date as "Graeme's Dyke,"
But whether the place name was de-
rived from the man's name, or whether
the founder of the clan merely came
from that locality is a matter which.'
has not been cleared up. There is a
word root in the Teutonic tongues
from which a given name might have
been, derived that in turn may have
been the source et the clan name. 'It
Is "grim." But there are a,'so the
forms "gram" and "gruaim" in the Cel-
tic tongues.
Historical records, however, indicate
a Teutonic origin of the clan name,
through tate Norman, tor the first au-
thentic record of any bearing the
name was in the reign of King David
7., . in 1123, when one "William de
Graham" was a witness at the oharter-
ing et Holyrood Abbey- It is only af-
ter t11is date that there is any record
of the Grahame holding land in the
Slighlands.

There are as many variations of

there are variations of "Smith," per.
haps more, though there are not o

The "start" or "'stain" in these
nares is simply the Anglo-Saxon for
"stone." Thus the family name of
Stanford has simply been derived
from a place, which, if we were nam-
ing it to -day, we'd probably call
"S Loney -Ford. "

meadowland. ' Stanfield is easily seen
as stoney field. The "ton" in Stanton
is the old Anglo-Saxon "tun;' from
which aur word "town" has come. It
meant' an enclosure.
• .Finally,.Stanlaw Comes from "stan"
and "laws." "lower' or "toe," which, to
Cm Anglo-Saxon, signified a small hill.
Later at the period when family
names began to form, names of towns
and places such as these were used
to designate persons who formerly
lived in them—not those who lived In
them at the time, for in that case the
name would lose its value as an iden-
tification, for there would be no reason
why it should be borne by one resi-
dent any more than another,
WHAT ARE THE LOW MBE LENGTHS?
We see a great deal in the news-
papers and radio magazines nowadays
about the broadcasting that is being
conducted on low wave lengths or
short wave lengths.
Usually the first thing that puzzles
the beginner is this question of wave
length. It is most unfortunate that
we ever started referring to trans-
mission as being done on a certain
wave length; we should Pram the very
start have spoken of its frequency.
In the ole days wo used to think
that energy was sent through space
in the form of waves. The latest view
of science; however, takes the view-
point that it is not a series of waves
but is really a series of pulsations'
much like the pulsations going
through our blood vessels; in fact, the
most advanced scientists claim that
the energy we receive does not go
even in the form of pulses but in the
form of actual infinitesimal particles
of matter,

they are walking at the rate of 330

Broadcasting has not yet been done
on such a very low wave length. But
science will some day do it:
The shortwave broadcasting that is
on at the present time is mostly some-
where in the neighborhood of 100
meters. That means that there are

The porlod between the time when
one impulsestrikesour antenna and
the time wben the next one strikes it
is what is known as a cycle. 'There-
fore we would say that this broadcast -
Ing is 3,000,000 cycles. And, as long
as we' are talking in terms of French
measuring units, we use one of their
terms which is kilocycle and this
merely means 1000 cycles.
Therefore, 3,000.000 cycles would be
3000 kilocycles. Divide thls number
into the speed -300,000,000 meters --1
'and the result will be the wave length
on which the broadcasting is being

You can see from this explanation
that the wave length has nothing 'what-
ever to do with the distance over
which the ray travels. The wave
length is purely a matter of the speed
at which the ray's travel and the num-
ber of separate Impulses sent out

No lotion or liniment ever did or ever

bave proved the value of Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills is Mrs. Annie Wright,

a sufferer from rheumatism for six
years, and during most of that tiine
my, life was one of misery. I tried
several doctors, and many remedies
recommended, but never got more
than temporary relief- The trouble
