'significantly "On.ly, one discovery is necessary, namely, serne playeloiet must ,master the nature of the energy given off by radium, Then it will not be five years before exploration of the moon, Venus and Maas is pos'sible." M. Esnault-Pelterie begins by say- ing that he deals only in planetary -veleleles inhabited by living beinge. The energy conceded in radium, if preiperry oontrolled, supplies all the pavver required for a voyage to the moon. Every known factor of the peoblem is being' studied. by M. Es'n- ault-Pelterie, who say: "If a projectile leaves the earth, go- ing at least 4,000 feet a second, the paojectile vemeld nevi (return, foa, while its 'speed climinashes under the earth's attraction, it would Seen pass out of that influence.

M.

Racial Origin—irish. Source—A given name. , It is the custom en this country, as it was la medieval England, to' name a child after some ancestor, saint or pro- minent man. This was also a custom -among the Gaels. But both the Irish and, the Scots also had a 'cistom they often followed of narniag a child with a compound name, the meaning .of which was "ser- vant of--" combined With the name of the great personage selected. Thus a child named after Saint Patrick was sometimes called just Patrick and 'sometimes "Servant -of -Patrick. It should be explained, however, that there is no true equivalent in Englieh for the, prefix that they used. The nearest you can come to it is to bay that it combine,d somethiag of the meaning of "servant," "follower," and "admirer." As a matter of fact there were no servants in old, Ireland, with the exception, perhaps, at certain periods, of ,slaves. The elan system developed loyal followers who served their chiefs otten in more or less of a menial capacity, but this form of ser - vibe was considered an honor to be sought after, and was not undertaken In a servile manner. There was noth- ing even indirectly involuntary about "Giollehricad" was a given' name which meant "Servant of Christ." Among others, a chieftain who was...the brother of the founder of "Seanlaoole" the O'Shanly clan, bore it. This "Giol- chriosd" or GliMhrist was the founder of the Ma.eGillechriest line., "The blackest lie e'ver hatched is to say, 'once a thief always a th.iet' ' spectable people who draw away from the unfortunate , and 'declare there is no hope • for them are doixfg much to Make:prof essionaleriminals.
