Of the 'many upward movements in
the spring,fer are so mysterious and
so little comprehended ae that of the
sap, foreleg its way through the tiny
rootlets to the top of the tallest trees.
Why dos W'i'se with no known•power
oompelting it ,against the• well known:
natural powers of gravity, the resist-
ance'of friction and so an? A master
mind must answer this • question, but
meanwhile we may offer a few sugges-
tions•. .
"Capillary attraction" • is the physl-
cell term most comm'on'ly employed to
account far this natural phenomenon,
but it doe not answer several ques-
tions which might occur to an inquie-
ing and intelligent mind. The original
intpulse undoii.btedfy comes from the
'rootlets of the trees through whose
trunks and branches the exp ascends -
The rootlets absorb from the earth
moisture, much as blotting paper ab-
sorbs ink. The extremities of the.
- branches glare off their fluids by
evaporation and the sap, relieved o8
this pressure, flows upward into thein.
'With the sap in -the branchea are in-
troduced small bubbles:Thus is made
what the physicist knows as a "Jamin
chain"—of bubbles• and water. When
the air ourrefrts move the trees, the
little tunes, bearing the waterand air,
are flattened, and their contents are
driven out—upward and downward.

upward flow of the sap is resumed.
For reasons which • may mow to
everybody, this may seem a lama ex-
planation, though it appears to be a
valid one, as far as It goes; and. it
lends an added. significance to the in-
cessant movement of the trees, which,
perhaps, is thus serving a definite pur-
pose. Review of Reviews.
Great Fortress at Mercy
of Elements.
The Rocky Island, Heligoland, which
as a fortress kept vigil over the west-
ern..entrance to the Iiiel canal and
played an important rale as a submar/
ine and flying base during the World
War, is disintegrating rapidly under
the constant explosions. of dynamite,
which for three years• have been de-
molislling the great fortifications the
Germans• had imbedded in the cliffs•.
German scientists assert that the
great crag of red and white sandstone
Is being so badly damaged by the con-
cussions that its complete annihilation'
by the rough waters and strong winds
of the North Sea may come within a
few years if protective measures are
not taken. The island -rises a hundred.
feet above the sea, but is less than a
mile prong and scarcely a quarter of a
mile Wide at its broadest part. Great
, secttons of the cliffs• already have
slipped into the seas' since the demoli-
tion of the fortifications began under
direction of the British and French.
The Germans bul'lt numerous sea
walls and spent much money in pro-
tecting the island against the ravages
-- of the sea when it was a fortress; but
as under the Versailles Treaty terms
it cannnotregain be fortified, the shat-
tered island, which has a population
of 3,000 fiaherfolk, probably will be
left to the merey"of the elements,

What a valuable gift is a ready wit!
It' se often: makes the dt=erefiee be-

interesting example of Its usefttness
in tight place is given by a centribu-
for to the Atlantic Monthly. She
writes':-
One days an Indian native preaehet-
whom I delight to think of was trying
to preach to a craved of Mohamsnedan
villager's. An old hostile uzauivi step-

no, tell me. this: God made the world,

Without hesitating, the preacher
stretched out' hie arm, pointing direct-
ly in front of him. The crowd turned
to look. •
"There are .the. piecesti" he cried
dramatically, indicating the horizon of
Himalayas, ,vhicii shone in their snowe

Racial Origin—English.
Source—A locality.
It is a matter of fact that the num-
ber of English family names in the
classification of those which have been.
derived from the names, of places is
limited only by the number of place
names which existed in England
through the period of family name for-
mation.
The name of virtually every city,
town and hamlet at this period was
likely to be taken not by one but by
many individuals who moved away
from it to some other place. Or rather,
it was likely to have been conferred
upon then, by their new neighbors, far
family names were more often a na-
tural growth than the result of de-
liberate adoption, and a family's neigh-
bors had more to say about the most

France's Sherlock Holmes.
The best-known,deteettve In.France
at the present time is Edmond Bayle,
a chemist whose laboratory is in :the
Palais de Justice in Paris: •
He is chief of the technical bureau
of the Paris police department, and he
hea met with finch success that the
more medaicated criminals look upon
him as a dabbler in magic.
Dr. Bayle does' not work on the
British 'Sherlock Holmes' lines. Re

psycbology of the criminal, but con-
fines himself to material things.

HARTWELL-
Racial Origin—English.
Source—A place name.
Hartwell is one of those family
names which have been taken from
place names, and it is to -day better
known, perhaps, as the former rather
than the latter,
In the period of family name forma-
tion, which in England lasted, roughly,
from the eleventh to about the fif-
teenth century, place names formed
one of the most usual sources• from
which surnames grew. Family names,
of course, were eeldom fromed by arbi-
trary adoption. They were the out-
growth of descriptive, surnames • con-
ferred upon an individual in an age
when populations had become so large
that there were not enough names to
go around, and it was necessary to dis-
tinguish between two men. of the same
given name. A most natural method
was to refer to the place from which
a man had come.
Hartwell was a village in Bucking-
hamshire. Its name meant "the well
of the deer."

dIIIIIDi1OOD INDIGESTION
Nothing is more common in child-
hood than indigestion. Nothing
more dangerous to proper growth,
more weakening' to the constitution or
more likely to pave the way to danger-
ous disease. Fully nine -tenths of all
the minor ills of childhood have their
root in indigestion. There is no medi-
cine for little ones to equal Baby's
Own Tablets in relieving this trouble,
They have. proved of benefit in thous-
ands of homes. • Concerning them Mrs,
Jos. Lunette, Immaculate Conception,
Que., writes: "My baby was a great
sufferer from indigestion, but the Tab-
lets soon set her right and now I wobld
not be without them." Baby's Own

Do Not Use Harsh Purgatives—
A Tonic is All' You Need.
Not sick—but not feeling quite well.
That is the way most peoplefeel.in the
spring; Easily tired, appetite fickle,
sometimes headaches and a feeling of
depression. Pimples or eruptions may
appear .on tlhe skin, or there may be
twinges of rheumatism or neuralgia.
Any of these indicate that the blood
is out of order—that the indoor life of
winter has left Re mark upon you and
may easily develop into more serious
trouble.
Do not dose yourself with purgatives,
as many people do, In the hope that
you can put your blood right. Purga-
tives gallop through the system and
weaken instead of giving strength.
Any doctor will tell you this is true,
What you need in the spring is a tonic
that will enrich the blood and build
up the nerves. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills do this speedily and surely. Every
dose of this medicine helps to enrich
the blood, which clears the skin,
strengthens the appetite and makes
tired, depressed men, women and
children active and strong. Miss S. L.
Mc3Oachron, Nairn, - N.B,, says:—"I
have been .in the habit of taking Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills in the spring and
they keep me in the best of health. I
think it is entirely due to the use of
these pills that I always have such
good' health."

Population of Palestine.
Palestine has a total population of
757,182, according to the figures' of the
census of three months ago. Ten per
cent.. of .the people in Palestine are
given as Chrietian, 11 per cent, as Jews.
and 79 per cent. as Mohammedans.
The figures' for Christians and Jews
are regarded as about correct, but
there was' such strong opposition to
the census on the part of the Moham-
medans that their number probably is
considerably under -estimated.
In two cities only is there a prepon-
derant Jewish population, Jerusalem
and Tiberias. Informer, out of a total
of 62,000, 34,000 are descended from
Abraham and the balance are about
equally divided between the followers
of Jesus and the prophet of Mecca.
It Is interesting to note that Bethle-
hem is, the only town in the land in
which Christians predominate, Here
there , are, 5,888.. of •this: fait, 818
Mohammedans and two Jews. Naz-
areth ;has a population of 7,424 of
which roughly two-thirds are Chris-
tian, one-third Moslem, and only 58
Jews. The principal seaport, Jaffa,
has abort 47,000 people, of whom there
are 20,000 each of Jews and Moltams
medans, and about 7,000 Christians,
The other large centres, of population'
are vary largely Mohammedan,
The Palestine Weekly, a Zionist or-
gan, claims that according to Roman
figures this country has supported a
population of 7;000,000, but when ogle
considers that the area of Palestine
is about equal to tbat of Vermont and
that it has about an equal amount of
arable land, one questions seriously
