path they follow ie two thousand miles
wide, and all noross this belt there is
need for the most constant vigilance,

frequent at this, season of the year, it
is possible to come very cease to one

Saved by Seamanship.
The reality of tills ocean menace
was brought home very forcibly to the
passengers of the Cunard liner Aur -
ants recently. The liner was bound
from Montreal to Liverpool, and ran
into fog, In consequence the vessel
was?steaming dead slow, much to the
disgust of the passengers, wbo were
grumbling about what seemed to .them
a waste of tlnie.
Then off Cape Race, Newfoundland,
a huge iceberg .loomed up through the
fog, right in the path of the'"ship. It
was only a hundred to a hundred and
fifty feet away front the liner, and for
a moment those on deck meet have
. thought a collision wee inevitable. It
would have been had the vessel's speed
bean greater. But the situation was
saved by the splendid seamanship of
Captain R. t. Peel, who was in com-
mand. The engines were reversed,
and the ablp was manoeuvred so ably
that the berg was cleared, and what
might have been a grant disaster was
avoided.
Marooned an an Ice -Floe.
Even after collision with an iceberg
expert seamanship, can sometimes
work miracles. One night, when the
face of the waters was covered with
the densest fog, the Galion liner Ari-
zona ran into an iceberg. The force
of the Impact was sogreat that the.
forepart of the ship was smashed In
from stern to foremast. The gap thus
made was entirely filled with great
biti5:ks of Joe. The deck, too, was lit-
tered with ice --four hundred tons of
it
Then began a grim race with death.
The scene of the collision had been the
Grant! Bank, onohundred and fifty
miles from Cape Race, and the nearest
port was St. John's. For St, John's,
then, the Arizona made, but she was
sinking ail the way. When, forty-eight
hours later, she did finish her night-
mare journey she was on the point o£
going down, It we a terrible experi-
ence for the six hundred passengers
aboard. But the coolness, courage,
and skill of the ship's officers brought
them throngla to safety.
A still more terrible ordeal fell to
the lot of fourteen men, the erew of
the chip Hansa, which was crushed in
the ice. They managed to escape from
the vessel, but they were marooned on
the lee -floe on which they had taken
refuge for about seven months. Dur-
ing the period the floe drifted south
for a distance of 972 miles,

1 Intrepid try th r o
the during e search for Sir
I g
John lrranitlin.. A gale compelled the
strip to make fast to a land -floe (ice
attached to the land). Suddenly this
ice began to move, and drove the In-
trepid broadside on to an Iceberg 250
feet high. Nothing could avert a col-
lision, but instead of a crash,'the In-
trepid was forced up the face of the
berg, until her bow was thirty feet out
of the water.
The situation was still highly dan-
gePous, but after being suspended thus
for a moment or two, "the Intrepid

PRICE
Variations — Pryce, Preece, Rice,
Reese, Renee, Rees.
Racial Origin—Welsh.
Source -A given name,'
When pronunciations change, of
navies as well as common words, it is
due to one or more of several causes.
The most powerful cause of language
cbanges, of course; iso ease of pronun-
ciation. The tongue unconsciously
slips into the easier pronunciation and
has a tendency to slur and shorten
wards. Sometimes the spelling fol.
lows quickly, and sometimes it does
not, according to whether the change
took place at a time when literature
exerted little Influence or much,
Another cause is the effort to pre-
nounce a word as it is spelled. Both
of these causes are involved in the ex-
planation of why such names as Price
and Preece, Rice and Reese. which.
really aro the same names, have dif-
ferent pronnciatons to -day. If the
old pronunciation were followed, all of
these family names would be pro-
nounced with the "es" squad, as in
"see," "i" and "y" are -so pronounced
in the Welsh speech, and they never
had the "eye" sound in Anglo-Saxon
or Norman-French, nor even 20 late as
Sbakespear's time. , .
All -of these family names have been
developed from the Welsh given name
of "Rhys/fa-which meant "warrior;" by
affixing "ap" ("son of"). In some of
them ,the "ap" has been dropped en-
tirely. In others only the "a" has
been dropped and the "p" has been In-
corporated in the name.
But neither Prlee nor Rice has any:
'connection`whatever with our modern
English words ''price" and "rice!'
BRITT,
Variations—Brett, Bret, Britten, Brit.

Racial Or ig l n—English.
Source—A nationality,
While these family names are of
English origin, the nationality they re-
present Is not
The Romans, it is true, knew Eng-
land as Britain, or Britannia, and later
the name was revived in the form of
Groat iBritain. But Britain, to the,
population of northern Europe in the
Middle Ages, meant only Brittany, or

THE ROMANCE
OF OIL
In 1632 a Franciscan missionary told
or 'springs of oil" occurring -in what
is now Alleghany. County. The Red
Indians when they suffered from sick-
ness need to skim it from the surface
of the water in the creeks and drink it
as medicine,
This was in the days when herds of
buffalo and flocks of wild turkeys
ranged the continent fromnorth to
south. Now they are gone, together
with the Red Indians, and only the oil
remains.
Such was the first reference to oil
in the New World, which now annual-
ly produces millions upon millions of
barrels of this valuable and indispens-
able product. But for the real ancient
history of oil we natu2ally haveto
come back to the Old World, though
in production it lies far behind the
Western lands.

time immemorial. Baku was the
Mecca of the Hindoo fire worshippers,
and was annually visited by thousands
of pilgrims. The Temple of Sttrakhani
was for centuries the Seat of the Sac-
red Fare, and as late as the 'eighties,
was still visited by priests from India.
Marco Polo, the Venetian traveller,
saw and described the burning springs
and Persia has been known since earl-
iest times to contain 011, Of recent
years the Persian fields `clave been
proved to be some of the richest In
the world.
We find that the, Romans knew the
use of oil from Persia and burned it
in lamps in the Temple or Jupiter.
This Is the first recorded instance` In
history of its use for lighting purposes.
After the decline of the Roman Em-
pire petroleum was forgotten or neg-
lected, and it was not until ceuturfes
had elapsed that it was again used for
this purpose.

THANKFUL MOTHERS
Once a mother has used Baby's Own
Tablets for her little one she would
use nothing else. The Tablets give
such results that the mother has noth-
ing but wards of praise and thankful-
ness for them. Among the thousands
of mothers throughout Canada who
praise the Tablets is Mrs. David A.
Anderson, New Glasgow, N.S., who
writes:—"I havg used Baby's Own
Tablets for my children and from my
experience I would not be without
them..I would urge every other mother
to keep a box of the Tablets in the
house." The Tablets are a mild but
thorough laxative which regulate the
bowels and sweeten the stomach;
drive out constipation and indigestion;
break up colds and simple fevers and
matte teething easy. They are sold by
medicine dealers, or by mail at 25c. a
box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine

Changing the Calendar.
A scheme which is being put forward
by the League of Nations that the year
shall be divided into thirteen months
instead of, as at present, twelve, looks
like meeting with almost universal ap-
proval, says an English newspaper.
The extra month would be inserted be-
tween June and July, and it is sug-
gested that it should be known as
"Sol."
If this scheme were carried into ef-
fect it would involve the addition of
an extra day, not included in any of
the months, known as "Year Day." The
extra day in Leap Year would also be
additional to any month.
The plan would' give a axed Easter
and Whitsun, and,the idea is approved
by Church dignitaries, leaders of com-
merce, hotel -keepers, and railway of-
ficials. At present it Is very difficult
for railways, hotels, and other con-
cerns that have to =he speeial ar-
rangements for holidays, to run to any
sort of schedule when Laster and
Whitsun never occur on the same
dates two years running.
Other advantages claimed for the
thirteen -month year are that pay-days,
market -days, and other fixed events
would fall on the sante date every
month, and that each weekday would
conte an its four fixed monthly dates.
Also, permanent dates for racing meet-
ings and other gatber{ngs would be
matte possible.
Whether Britain will ever be per-
muted to adopt such a calendar is
another matter. All attempts to intro-
duce the decimal systent or coinage
here have se fs.r failed, Then, too,
what. will the superstitious say to
teen months in a year?

etable Compound? 1 am sure it Will do
you good and will save those doctor's
bills. So I atria advised by my husband
to try it after I told him about it. I am
very thankful to say that I was soon
able to tante a few boarders for a while
as rooms wore scarce at that time. My
baby is 17 months old now and I have

medieine. I have recommended the
Vegetable Compound to a few people I

done me. I ltnow I feel and Look a dif-
