If • red piasters, and clays and loares• containing iron pre- dominate, they are contnonly celled the reddish steppes. Either kind has a few typical .plants, and of the same plant lives in both areas. It i&of differ exit appearance, Not far from Madrid are the most typical spots of ,the central stepppes. Tarencon is perhaps the moat ixitere>�t- ing place in this area frorn.'the point. of view of its flora, its climate and its soil. . The barren hills near "Taraneon on. the road to Belinchon•should be in- cluded an a national park, far there are' no other hills like them in the entire: world, Tho vegetation of these hills' con- sists of grasses, lilies, orchids, sun- flowers and cruciates. They' make ex cellent pasture far goats and sheep. Trees have been planted here, and if the soil is carefully tilled it loses its', desolate character. Most remarkable, however, are the. salt beds in this district. They are shallow patches, or sheets of clayish' soil, extending over wide. areas.i,,Water is conducted through the pits and by a simple process of evaporation the salt ie. obtained. It is mixed with small quantities of sulphates' and mag- nesia. The salt springs of Belinehon are. among tire richest In the world. There are 200 Brains of salt in each quart of water and about 30,000 'quarts run through the, springs' every hour. How Plants Ar• e Pollinated. w TheThere are :kre* �r main agencies by plants1rs'• w•'•'nated, namely: r .indan.endlW d alns�ects man gT , r special devrc�asltivoOt'e18-pollinating agencies or cleo: :gitol3is flowers. The wind carrtairl a pollen and at length, it falls, 'due to ;gravity. Water,. in the •case of water plants, carries the. pollen from plant to plant. Insects are great.pollen carriers. They pass from Sower to flower in `search of nectar, and carry away pollen " upon their bodies. When they visit the next flower, some of the pollen is acciden- tally rubbed off, and tilus the fiawer.is. pollinated. Man May bringabout pol- lination y p lination by artificial means. He mere- ly transfers the pollen from the plant .where it is barn to the plant where it is wanted. This is done, usually, in - the greenhouses of upon special plants. In some planta there are special de- vices for the explosion' of the pollen containers which throw the pollee; out to other flowers. Self-po1•linating' or cleistogamous ;flowers are those that never open and must be self -pollinated. That is, the. flower' can fertilize itself and does not need pollen from another flour.

Variations--- McKenna, MacKinney, McKinney, Kinney. Racial Origin -r-1 rish. Source—Given names, There are two forms of this name, or rathertwoseparate names ,in. Gae- lic, from .which. the anglicized family names :in .this group have'been:,de- rived. It is unfortunate that - in- so many family names the.Irish and the English forms should be so different as to rause confusion in the transla- tion, of the name• from one language into the other. Here is• another case where you'd have, sante genealogical record to make sure whether your ancestors were members of that clan known as the "Maclonagh;" which played a vivid part in the wars of Irish rebellion in the early seventeenth century, or of the ancient "Claun Cionaotha," The early reoords of this latter clan, are clear. It was founded by a chief - Min named Cinaotll. (the meaning of thegiven n hie e ,, a being g without. ser- vile work") about the year 260 A.D., thus establishing this family name as about twice as old as. the majority 'of English family names. The'. strong- hold of this clan was in Tirowen. The name "MacIonaigh" Is derived troch the given name "Ionach," which means •a "dirk.".' 'It is not' certain at just what period the.clan was es•tab- lashed, but it was a branch of the an; tient elan of the. O'Harts, :and•it was well established in Ardmore, County Waterford, as well as' fn"Dundalk and in Truagh, County Monoghan. ELLWOOD Variat! on—Eiwood. Racial Origin -English. Source—A locality.. This family name, 'of English origin and development, is one of those which have been derived • from' place names. There are many places. to -day in Eng- land named Ellwood. A11 of them don't trace 'their history back to the medieval times, but, on the other hand it is fair to: assume. that there were also planes called Ellwood in the medieval ages which since have been called by other names, So unless - you can follow the indi vidual family history definitely back to the first use of the name, you have little certainty from which particular. Ellwood it has been derived. Ellwood was the sort of a place name which might be applied locally. g` PP a y. Yt .meant simply "Ellis' wood," "Ellis" "Eiioe" and "Helyas" being the medieval Eng- lish spellings sof the biblical nave of "Elijah" or "Elias."- This, of coarse, was' a• Hebrew given names, popular with the medieval populations: not only of England, but of other • Chris- tian countries • through its biblical as- sociation5.. The name means, The Lord God,"' or "The Strong Lord." • e 1 Q B'� i . iV TABLE:TS �B � T � S ALWAYS KEPT..

Ceylon and India started producing Green Tea on a large scale only in recent years.
