This group of family names is de- rived from the given name of Michael, which, of course, is. iiebrew, being one of the scriptural names. The meaning of the given name is, "like Go•d." In that period cf English history when the Saxon and Norman 'tongues had just combined, when Normans and Anglo-Saxons finally lost their pride in rico four pride in nationality, there came about a change in the type of given names. This, was no doubt due in. part to the absolute necessity for more names, for population was in- creasing anti the same force which finally brought about the development of a second, or family, name for the individual also tended to increase the number of given names. In that period there was a general turning to the Scriptures and to scriptural history in search. of nam ea Naturally Michael, the name of the archangel, wee a popular one. And from it naturally developed a surname by the addition of "son." At this period', in the South, the linguistic ten- dency was- toward .a softening of pno- nunoiation and the name became Mitchel, while it remained Michael in the North, just as the same word be- came "ditch" in the South and "dyke" in the Nonth. in more modern times, owing to the recorded spellings, there has been a return to the original form In the case of the name, though there has not been in -the case of the word. Mitchell and Mitchel, of course, are shortened forma of Mitchelson. HARGRAVES. Variations—Hargreaves, Graver, Con - grave. Racial Origin—English. Source—A locality. The Pallidly names in this group are traceable to the same. source as that of Groves, Grover and Greaves. In the old English speech a grove, oe "greave" was an avenue or path hew- ed through the forest, though more lately it has come to indicate a small chump of trees. The word comes from the same root as our modern word "grave," a burial place, and as our modern word "engrave." It comes from a verb meaning to cut, about the only part of which that remains is the past participle "graven." All of these family names fall with- in the classification of place names. The `tihargreave" was a woodland path noted for the presence of hares. Per- sons who lived at 'or near such places naturally were spoken of as "John atte Hargreave," or ` "Roger de la Har- greave," the prefixes being dropped later when the names came to indicate the persons themselves rather than the pieces where they lived. The "coney" or "eonyng" was a rabbit. Hence the names Congrave and Har- grave are virtually the same. A per- son who dwelt near a grove was either a "grower," a "greaver" or a "graver," though sometimes' this family name may indicate the occupation rather than the place in. which its' original bearer dwelt. Raid That Has Lasted Millions of Years. The earth has been •subjected to an aerial bombing during millions of years, yet it seems little worse for its hammering.

When we see them they are hotter than any- blast furnace could make them. Their fine debris falls slowly and harmlessly to earth, and adds its quota to the world's bulk as meteoric dust. less night will see eight or ten shoot- • ing stars each hour. It has been estimated that at least twenty million•ehooting stars would be visible to someone on the earth's sur- face urface if it were dark enough and clear enough tosee them. As. a shooting star, or meteor, has to be a good sine to be visible at all at distances varying from forty to eighty miles, it is further computed that. this number of aerial bombs must be multi- plied 'ay twenty, making the number "of missiles which bombard the earth during every twenty-four hours four hundred millions. How is it that cases of people being killed by this "bombing, terriflc though it is, are exceedingly rare? The ans- wer is that the earth is almost bomb- proof so far aS, meteors are concerned.

Their old-time rectangular houses of cedar planks formerly stood close to the water's edge in the majestic fiords that indent the impenetrable mountains and forests of the interior. Now their small modernized settlements are strung north and south in bead-like fashion all along the west coast of their island home. They have oocu- pled the same eaves from time im- memorial. Far away to the East, across the mountains, lived the elusive hunters of the endless plains., the Crces, the Stonies and the Blaekfeet, whose no- madic existence admitted of no fixed abode and whose conical skin tipis in- ceseantiy shifted from place to place for the requirements of peace and war.
