Surnames and Their Origin
TYSON
Variation.—Dyson.
Racial Origin -Middle' English.
Source -A baptismal name.
The family name of Tyson is one of
those which have developed from bap-
tismal names which are virtually obso-
lete to -day, but which were very com-
mon at .those periods in the middle
ages in which family names began to
take shape.
It's a long stretch from Dionisius to
Tyson, but that's - really what it de-
veloped from,
Tyson is one of those names which
became a family name at ,a fairly ear-
ly period, though it by nd means be-
longs in the earliest classification,
which is composed almost entirely of
Anglo-Saxon. names. It belongs to the
period when the Norman influence was
still • strong, but those of Norman
blood had begun to regard themselves
as Englishmen, dropping, French as
the "every -day" language. This is es-
tablished by the fact that Dionisius
was distinctly Norman, while the end-
ing "son" ehows the reassertion of the
Anglo-Saxon tongue.
Dionisius ,was variously abbreviated
in the Norman-French speece into the
nicknames Denis, Denot and Dyot:'
From the latter developed Dyatson,
which at a later period was shortened
by many families to Dyon, and finally
changed by others to Tyson. The lat-
ter is the more common form In this
country to -day.
The name often is erroneously ex-
plained' . as having originated from
Tony, or Antony, but historical re-
cords show no such conection, while
the path back to Dionisius may be
traced step by step.
GiREENWALD
Variations -- Grunewald, Greenwalt,
Greenwood.
Racial Origin—German, also English.
Source—Descriptive of Locality.
The last named of the variations of
this family name gives you the clue to
its meaning, as it is the only name of
English origin in the group. The rest
are of German development. •
By far the larger number of fanse
lies in Canada bearing the various
forms of this name trace it back to
German origin, for the name had a
much wider development in Germany
than in England. This is ascribed to
thefact that even though the period
of• family name formation took place
considerably later in Germany than. in
England, most 'sections df that coun-
try were less developed than the Eng-
land of two or three hundred years be-
fore. In short, there were more for-
ests, hence more"Greenwoods" in Ger-
many than in England.
. It is rare that an.English and a Ger-
man family name of exactly the same
meaningrun se near parallel in the
_philology of the words of which they
are composed. Both "green" and
"grune" come from the same root.
Formerly the English word was spell-
ed "grene," and the older form of the
German word was "gruene." In the
development of one language the "e"
has prevailed and in that of the other
the "u." In the same manner the
words "wood" and "wald" come from
the same root. The older form of the
one was "wode," developed from a still'`
earlier "woide "
Grunewald is, of course, the true
form of the German name. Greene -
weld and Greenwalt are modern varia-
tions', developed, as you may plainly
observe, from the first syllable, under
the influence of English speech.
The King of Courtesy.
"They take it already upon their ee,l-
vation, that though I be but the Prince
of Wales, yet I am the king of court-
esy."
These lines .from the second act of
the "First Part of King Henry IV," re-
curred to my mind recently when, at
a big luncheon given by an association
of business men, at which he was the
guest of honer, I sat within a few feet
of his Royal Highness, says a London
writer.
His cheery courtesy to exeryone
-roved • him -to the eager, fluttering
waiter, who leaned over his shoulder
and held a match to the Royal cigar-
ette 1 nits elongated holder; to the two
audacious spirits who, at the close of
the banquet, ventured to bring their
menus. to him for his autograph; and
to the flashlight photographer who de-
sired to "record" him in a character-
istic attitude, impressed me very
much.
Seen so close, he looks much young-
er than his twenty-eight years, appear-
ing more like a good-looking, brown -
skinned, well -set-up youth of nineteen
or twenty until he speaks, when his
maturity becomes more apparent.
What surprised •me more than any-
thing else about the Prince was his
voice. I am sorry to .say that I did
him the injustice of expecting him to
Speak with that ugly intonation rather
unfairly known as the Oxford drawl,
though had I considered for a moment
I should have realized that the best
type of 'Varsity men do not possess it.
The Prince's, accent is immeasur-
`ably more pleasant, for it is quick and
reliant and, though I .hesitate to de-
clare that it contains just the slightest
suspicion of a Cockney intonation, I
have no hesitation in saying that there
could be no mistaking him for any-
thing but a Londoner. He would prob-
ably Impress most people who niet

with steady eyes full of resolution. An

Gold From Sea Water.
The modern alchemist no longer
dreams of transmuting the baser met-
als into gold; he Is more concerned
with the passibility of extracting from
the waters of the ocean the vast qutn-
tity of the previous metal known to be
held in solution in them.
As a matter of fact, it was rumored
recently that a profitable method of
doing this had been discovered, and
that Germany might pay her repara-
tion debts in .sea -water gold.
The rumbr, however, was premature.
'It has been calculated that there is
one ounce of gold in every 31,000 tons
of sea -water. And this gold is not in
simple solution but in what is known
as the "colloidal" state, thus render-
ing its extraction a very difficult and
costly !natter.
At present, indeed, the cost of pro:
ducing gold from sea -water is about
twenty times the market price.

Modern Surgery Speeds Up
Nature.
Man, as everybody now knows,is
the result of million of years ofsde-`
velopnient .on this planet; perhaps
even on some other before"the star-
dust swirled." What we .to not al-
ways realize is that •• this deve'lapment•
is still going on, veiny slowly, as it al-
ways has done, but surely.
There are a number of scientists, es-
pecially surgeons, who think that the,
processmay be speeded up, and that:
mankind would be saved much suffer,
ing if Nature - were assisted in this
way.
Not many months. ago Prince George
the Kings youngest . son, passed
through an experience which, in :'a
more enlightened age, everybody will:
undergo in infancy.
In the first place, he was ope'ated
upon for . appendicitis, when what
physiologists call the "vermiform ap-
pendage of the caecunin was removed.
At one time in,our history, no doubt,,
the appendix served a useful purpose.
It is a relic of our ascent from a lower
form of life. In someof the other
mammals it is a large organ, but .in
our own bodies it is, as-anule, quite:
rudimentary. Sometimes it is absent
altogether: In another thousandyears;
or so, perhaps, ne human being, will be
born with this excrescence. ,But we'
cannot afford to wait for that, and a
few years hence, very likely, the
operation. for its removal will be as
common in infancy as vassination is
now.
Prince George had scarcely recover-
ed from the operation when it was
learnt that he was again in the hands
of the surgeons. On this occasion it
was an even simpler matter, involving
only the loss of his little tees.
'There was certainly a time when
our little toes were :of use to us—pos-
sibly in chimbing trees. But that time
is long past. They are now merely en-
cumbrances; they do not help us to
walk or run or jump; they do nothing
to improve our golf, handicap -fir our
batting or bowling averages. To the
majority of people they are simply
sprigs on which to grow corns. The
onlyperson to whom little toes are
conceivably of importance is the bare-
foot woman dancer, who would per-
haps look rather odd without them.
Nature is very slow in extinguishing
parts of animal structure that have
served their purpose in the process of
evolution. Some time in the future:.
perhaps. children will be born withoa':
an appendix, and with only four toes
on each foot. In the meantime, sur-
gery has to be called -in where their
possession:causes danger or .incon-
venience.

Not long ago 'a thrilling fight be-

on a Scottish moor. Seeing an eagle
with a rabbit -trap dangling from its

so that he might remove the trap. Mis-

for another attack, the man hit it with

The Tree's Heart -Beat,
. Has a tree a soul? Has it a per-
sonality? These apparently absurd
questions are provoked by Sir J. C.
Rose's recent lecture to the Royal
Society of Medicine on the heart -beats
of ,the tree.
His experiments show that a definite
active tissue extends through every
tree. The cellular pulsations of this
tissue in regular •sequence by their
pumping action cause the movement
of the sap: When these pulsations are
arrested they can be revived, by dnugs,
by blows, or by massage. In Bengal
the sugar -canes are actually milked.
The pulsation of the cell is ultra-
microscopic, but Sir J. C. Bose has
detected it by his electric probe in cir-
cuit with a recording galvanometer.
Any agent which quickens the heart-
beat of the animal also quickens the
heart-beat of the tree. The life of the
tree is; aa wonderful as the life of man.

How long Pienaar and the leopard
.stood there he cannot say, but it
seemed an eternity. The leopard
stood so close, glaring into his eyes,
that he could feel its. hot breath on
his face.
When the rifle dropped from his
hands it had fallen against a tree and
now was lying with the muzzle point-
ing towards him about three feet from
his right knee. How to get it was the
question. That the beast remained so
quiet was, he believed, owing to his
keeping quiet himself. Bo ever so
gently he loosened the grasp of his
right hand on the brute's throat and
at the same time tightened the grip
of his left. He slowly crouched lower
and lower and then cautiously stretch.
ed his right hand towards the rifle.
All the time he stared steadily into the
leopard's blazing eyes•,
Presently he found that he could
just touch the weapon with his fin-
gers. With infinite care he edged over
until he was able to grasp it firmly -
Now came the crucial moment. Should
the rifle as he pulled it toward him
catch even momentarily in the under-
growth, the noise would startly the
Ilene brute into a raging fury. He
tightened his grip on the best's
throat and began to pull the rifle to-
wards him. As luck would have it,
the weapon came away freely from
the bushes, and inch by inch he man-
aged to draw it to him until its butt
rested on the ground against the in-
side of his right foot. From there he
slowly raised it with his lingers until
the muzzle pointed straight at the
leopard's under jaw; then he lifted it
a little more and got his finger on the
trigger. Quickly releasing his grip on
the beast's throat, he pulled the trig-
ger
rigger and leaped backwards.
The animal, as he discovered later,
was killed instantly; the bullet broke
its neck. But Pienaar will 'carry to
his grave the scars of the wounds that
his adversary made in that horrible
night encounter,
