Famous Ear Specialist to Treat
Spanish Prince.
The congenital disease—deafness—
which has impaired the health of Don
Jaime, me,second son of King Alfonso of
Spain, is soon to be treated by Dr,'
Curtis H. Muncie, of Brooklyn, N.Y.,
who is widely known as a specialist
on afflictions of the ear, Dr. Muncie
has just sailed for Europe with the ad-
mission that he is going to treat a
"well known case of deafness, given
up by many specialists of Europe." It
has been learned that this "well
known" patient Is none other than Don
Jarmo::
Until he was 9 years of age the
young son of King Alfonso was unable
to speak, but it, was later found that
this condition• was brought about by
his deafness. He has been taught lip.
reading and now converses fluently by
that method. I•Ie is not the heir to the
throne, the Crown Prince being the
Prince of the Asturias. •
Dr. Muncie has also accepted invi-
tations to demonstrate his new meth-
od of "manipulative surgery" or "re-
construction of the eustachian tube"
before leading medical associations in
Paris, Glasgow and Loudon. He uses
no instruments in his treatment of the
deaf, merely molding. and shaping the
tube which leads from the innerear to
the nose.

"Old, Heads on Young Should-

the Scientist.
Imagine Einstein, Marconi, Edison,
and Sir Oliver Lodge being able to
hand down their genius to their child-
ren ae easily as they hand down their
estates!: Picture a world in which. our
descendants will begin almcst where
we left off.
That this is not an idle dream has
been made abundantly clear by cer-
tain experimentson animate carried
out by Professor Paul Kammerer, a
biologist of the University of Vienna,
and a lifelong friend of Stetnach, the
originatorof the "gland" cure. Kam-
merer demonstrated his theory before
British scientists at Cambridge. Plac-
ing."before them a specimen of the
sightless newt, he said that he had de-'
veloped the creature's eyes.
During thousands of years,' exist-
ence in deep, gloomy caverns; Its an
ceetors had no only lost the power of
sight, but even the eyes themselves
had shrunk to mere rudimentary or-
gans beneath the 'skin. Professor
Kammerer took ono of these eyeless
newts at birth and exposed It to red.
light for five years. The water in
which the newt lived was continually
illuminated with red light, which was
used because it was found that day-
light merely 'canoed a dark pigment to
form in the Skin covering the eyes.
Several generations of newts were
subjected to the red light until one
group finally appeared with: eyes that
pushed through the head.,The des-
cendants of this group also had eyes.
The professor then showed Salatnand-
ers'whose skins had changed color as
a result of living on a. background dif-
ferent from that to which they had
been accustomed.' He said the change
was permanent and hereditary. He
then exhibited a land -dwelling toad,
having the horny pads of the water -
toad, a wonder' which the professor
had accomplished after a series of ex-
periments.
These demonstrations were follow-
ed by speculations' as to the possibility
of applying the results achieved on
lower animals to human beings, so
that the good qualities a man culti-
vated in his own lifetime could be
passed on to his children as "In-
stincts."

Surnames and Their Origin
URQUHART
Resta! Origin—Scottish.
Souroe—A locality.
Urquhart was the name of one of
the most important and influential,
though one of the smallest of the
clans of the Scottish Highlands.
But though the clan was pure . Gas-
lic,, et that same stock which crossed
over from Ireland toward the close' of
those migrations which are respons-
ible for most of the blood of the High-
lands to -day, the clan name was not
formed from the given name of a
chieftain.
In Ireland the clan names were al-
most without exception derived from
the names of the chieftains who fist
elevated their following to the dignity
of clanship; mostly from their given
names, bat at times from their .Melt -
names • or sobriquets. In Scotland the
exceptions are more numerous, and
that of the Urquharts is one.
Though the "Claim Urachadlan," as
it is Styled in the Gaelic tongue, .is
admittedly an old one,.. there is some
vagueness as to its early history, but
it appears to have been closely con-
netted with the clans MacKay and
Forbes. The name of _Urquhart does
not appear in the historical records
as' having been adopted by the clan
until about 1300 A.D., at which time
the chief of the clan was also the com-
mander of a castle of that name, and
the tradition goes that the clan name
was adopted from the name of, the
castle
BUCK LEY
Racial Origin—English.
Sou rce—Looal ]ties.
Here is a .family name originnally
descriptive of the bearer by reference
to:the,place from which he had cone.
There ' are, however, different mean-
ings to the two -place names from
which the family' name is variously
derived.
One of these is the name of_ a com-
munity In Chester, England. It is
Bulkeley. It may also at various
times have, been a countryside name
for many localities in different seo-
tions of England. The "ley," in the
speech of the medieval English, often
meant an inclosed place or pasture for
animals, and Buckley was originally
simply a "bullock -ley."
This, however, does not explain cer-
tain old fortes of the family name
which are to be, found in the medieval
records, "de Bokele" and "de•Buckey,"
which could not in so short a period
have been derived from "Bulkeley."
They represent rather the local des
eriptiou of pastures or inclosurea for
Bucicdeer.
In 'both cases the family name orig-
inally bbre the prefix "de," meaning,
"of," and -clearly indicating the orig-
inal descriptive nature of the surname.
As was the rule, these prefixeslu the
vast majority of cases Were dropped
as meaningless after a generation or
two; using the name, made it descrip-
tive rather of the bearer himself than
the place from which be had come.

When Italics Are Used.
We are all familiar with words writ-
ten in italics,
In 1621 a printer of Venice invented
the type when printing an edition of
Virgil. It is supposed that he attempt-
ed to copy the handwriting in which
the translation was written. The style
came to England in the following year
and was knonwn as Venetian. It was,
however, confined chiefly to proper
names and pretence of books.
Italice are used in the Bible for
words inserted to make the sense of
the translation clearer.
Nowadays Italics are used almost
solely for emphasizing a word orsent-
ence, and if it is desired for a printer
toputany portion of a manuscript in-
to this type the words are underlined.
Names of periodicals and ships
should be in italics, but the rules re -

More than, 700 miles by dog team I
was thetrip mode recently by Con-
stable F. Stevenson, of the Royal Cana-
dian Mounted Police, in bringing` to
justice a' man charged with the mur-
der of a trader.
This, however, is by no means a re -
coed in tiie annals of the Force, which
hoe several longer and no less thrill-
ing man hunts to its credit.
Two years ago an Esklkno who had
murdered a white man in the Yukon
was tracked over •a thousand miles be-
fore he was captured, following which
the Crown prosecutor and a judge tra-
velled 3,000 miles to conduct the. trial,
I. One of the longest o1 these hunts
was that carried out by Sergeant
Frank Smith, who covered seventeen
hundred miles by dog team and canoe
in search of a murderer named
O'Brien.
I During the trip the seed in which the
sergeant travelled part of the way
overturned into a dyke, injuring its
I occupant's leg so severely that he was
unable to use it for some days. Un -
t daunted, he •continued the journey,
which ended in his finding his, man
two weeks too late; the oiv11 authorI-
ties had succeeded In capturing -him.
The hunt cost the Government $150,-
000.
Another long-distance chase was
participated in by a member of the
sante Force following the murder by
Victor Fournier and Edward: Ia Belle
of three French Canadians. The de-
tective concerned, Sergeant W. H.
Welsh, undertook to hunt the crimin-
als alone, and at the end of a thrilling
nine hundred •miles' trip he succeeded
in arresting the .prisoners with as lit-
tle fuss as a Toronto policeman makes
in apprehending a pickpocket.

$4.60 Profit From Each Hen.
By S. W. Knife.
A short time ago an article appeared
In the "Pickering News" stating that
"E. W. Ruddy, who has a country re-
sidence there, cleared $4,600 profit
from . 1,000 hens for the preceding
twelve months,' and employed all help
required to look after them. This cer-
tainly shows there is money to be
made from hens. How? By proper
feeding, good care and attention.
Poultry raleingn is as much a business
as any other business and to make a
success one roust understand what he
is doing and why.
The winter is not the natural laying
season, therefore to get good egg pro-
duction, when prices are high, the
hens must be fed with that object al-
ways in. view. They need exercise to
keep the body warm, which should be
provided by, making them work
(scratch) for every grain of feed. The
feed should be stimulating and body-
building, such as wheat and corn, say
40% of each, making up the other
20% with Western oats, buckwheat,.
peas, etc. It is best just to feed
enough at a time .so as to keep the
bird always ready for the next meal.
A lot has been said for and against
"hot mash." Mr. Ruddy fed hot mash
as a mid-day meal all through the win-
ter, In the average home there is
usually a considerable' amount of
table scrap which can profitably be
utilized, mining it along with the lay-
ing
aying mash and fed in a "crumbly" con-
dition, not sloppy. Feed at raid -day
and just enough; if you feed too much.
the birds will go to roost, which is not
desirable. Why not feed hot mash in
the morning? Because birds will
easily ,fill their "crops," stand around
and get chilled, whereas grain first
thing makes them active and keeps
them warm, Grain should also be fed
In the evening. Soft feed being more
easily digested, the "birds' crops are
empty long before daylight and you
caiiuot expect man or beast to do their
best on an empty stomach,:

Brussels appears to be the only city
which has a well -organized umbrella -
borrowing bureau. The annual sub-
scription is low, but if every umbrella
user were to join such a society, its in-
come would be enormous.
The idea is rather similar to that in
force at the British Museum, National
Gallery, and other public institutions,
where you are required to deposit
your i'gamp" before being allowed to
go round the galleries. You get a
ticket of metal or a bone disc, which
will redeem your umbrella at any
time; only in the ease of the umbrella
exchange, the umbrella is not your.
own but the property of the society.
Each member on paying his sub-
scription, receives a token, usually of
metal stamped with an index number,
which he carries in his pocket instead
ofan numbrelia In his hand. When
caught by the rain, all he has to do is
to go to one of the society's agencies,
which are tobacco shops, restaurants,
and big stores, and hand over the tole -
en, to be immediately provided with
an umbrella.
When the rain ceases the borrower
deposits his umbreiia in the next
agency he happens to pass, and in ex-
change receives another counter.
