Oy'erconiing theigh Charges
for Heating.
The annual ,coal • consumption in
Cara"atla fer,dotnest.ic ptirpeses is near-.
ly 7,000,000 gills; "which; if we allow
cost of $15 per ton, representing a
yearly expenditure of some $105;000,-
000. With increasing population and
the gradual extend= of settlement
nert1terly, this consumption will na-
turally increase; any effort, there-
fore, having for its object a substan-
tial reduction in our domestic heating
W11, is worthy ,of public attention.
The hope of relief, entertained by
some, through electric heattng from
our water -powers, has been definitely
shattered by the fact that, outside of
the question of cost, the demand
would far exceed the supply available.
For instance, in . Quebec and Ontario,
alone, assiuntng a population of sone
5,000,000, a total of probably not less
than 10,000,000 li.p•—itnd costing from
$150,000,000 to $,200,000,000 per annum
-would be required to supply electri-
cal heat. The power available within
the more thickly populated portion of
these two provinces, even including
Canada's equity in the great possibili-
ties of the St. Lawrence and Niagara
rivers — the greatest water power
rivers in the world—only amounts to
about 5%z million horse power.
The porsibilities and economic ef-
ficiency of _central heating plants ap-
pear applicable to Canadian condi-
tone or to any country with long win-
ters. Due to the initial cost of the un-
derground distribution piping system,
the plants usually involve heavy over-
head expeusee; when the plant is $tired
intensively and during long periods
each year, the charges can be spread
over longer periods than would be the
cane for systems only used during
shorter periods, as in pertain localities
in the United States. Another econ.o-
nry would result from the possibility
of using the cheaper grades of coal,
instead of the expensive anthracite
now commonly used in Eastern Cana-
da. Suitable boilers with automatic
stokers and smoke -consumer's would
overcome some of the present disabili-
ties in the use of the inferior fuels.

In English there is not a more tie -
finite word than "Sabbath," yet it is
used with au amazing carelessness as
a synonym for Sunday. The writers
and translators of the New 'Testament
use. Sabbath correctly.
It is aiw-ays Hebrew and in no in-
staitce is it associated with the New
Testament dispensation- nOW univer-
sally known as Christianity, Indeed
the apostles were severely rebuked by
the Jews for breaking the Sabbath,,
Christianity cannot break the Sabbath
for they do not have it to break.
Sabbath and Sunday are observed
on. several days, but this is not neces-
nary, as astronomy shows that the
identity of days from year to year is
irimossibie; since the year and day
are incommensurable. The leap years
show that any given date varies a
day; even thio does not correct the
dates as other corrections --the cen-
turial Ieap year ---becomes necessary.
There is still deeper reason for dis-
carding the severity of the Sabbath,
namely, our seven-day week is un.-
counted
n-counted• thousands of years older than
the book of Genesis: Evidence is very
strong that it was fottrrcled on quarter-
ing the sidereal month—the "true
month." Long before anything even
approaching astronomy arose, man no-
ticed that the moon slowly proved into
another group of stars each night, and,
'by rough eye measurement, completed
her revolution in twenty-eight days—
"the twenty-eight mansions of heaven"
of the Chinese and Japanese.
Tonics for Trees.
Trees and plants can now be chloro-
formed, much in the sante way as a
doctor administers, an anaesthetic to
a patient, says an English writer.
For instance, a tree of a most deli-
cate species, experimented en under
the influence of chloroform. was trans-
planted without difficulty, and no harm
resulted. It thrived in its new do-
main more, if possible, than it had
clone in its old. Without chloroform,
its Uprooting 'c%'ould have meant per-
tain death to the tree.
Experts have also applied anaes-
pieties to shrubs Pard flowering plants,
with the object of , forcing early
blooms•.. Thus, a lilac bush subjected
f.o ether fumes for a day slumbered
so realistically that, when the effect
yore off, it believed its long winter
loop at an end, and sent oft shoots
nd blooms so energetically that De -
.ember saw the tree a mass of per-
med flower.
Similarly, nerve tonics can be ad
uinlstered to certain plants, with a
ear to toning them up, aseisttng
wtb,tind arresting decay.

Surnames and Their Origin
JACKSON
Variations—Jacks, Jaxon, Jakes, Jake,
Jacor.
Racial Origin --English.
Source—A given name.
Here is a group of fancily names, the
derivation of which seems quite ob-
vious. As a matter of fact, it's only
half obvious.
You think these names matinee back
to the given name of John, So they
do. But they all also trace back to
the given name of James In. the case
of the individual family it is impos-
sible to determinine which, unless the
ancestry of the family can be traced
back to the person from whom it took
the surname; and then the research
of
the
9 there is enough
will fail unless
history of that individual available to
determine whether his medieval neigh-
bors called him' "Jack" because his
name was John or because it was
James.
The nickname of Jack was, if any-
thing, more commonly used for the
given name of James than of John in
the middle ages.;, And really the dis-
cussion gets more confusing as we go
on, for we pause here to remark that
the name of James in the middle ages
was not James at all, but "Jacobus,"
and that to -day the French form of the
Maine is "Jacques." That is wiry the
nickname of Jack was more often the
variation of Janes than of John.
The manner in which the family
names of Jackson and Jaxon were
evolved from Jack is, of course, quite
clear. Jacor, not a very common varia-
tion, hos bean developed from Jack in
the same way that Hancock was built
up on Han (from Johan, or John),
through the diminutive ending "cock."

His Hearing Restored.
The invisible ear drum invented by
A. Q • Leonard, which is a miniature
megaphone, fitting inside the ear en-
tirely out of sight, is restoring the
hearing of hundreds of people in New
York City. Mr. Leonard invented this
drum to relieve himself of deafness
and head noises, and it does this so
successfully that no one could tell he
is a tdeaf man. It is effective when.
dreglese is caused by catarrh or by
perforated, or wholly destroyed natur-
al drums. A request for information

Quarantine.
irThis child has the scarlet fever,"
cautioned the doctor, picking up hos
hat, "and must be kept apart from the
other children. Do you understand?"
"01 do,' replied the father.
The next morning early the physi-
cian
hysician again called. Whei the Irishman
observed the doctor glancing around
theroom, he said:
"Oi'll soon hov him here, doctor. Ye
towld me t' keep 'im separate from the
rest, an' seen' as we hov only th' wan
bed f i th' fove iv us, Oi sent 'im over
t'•slape wid th' lad next door!"

A Compromise.
patient—"Doctor, I'll compromise
with you on that bill 0f yours."
Doctor -•-- "Compromise! What do
you mean?"
Patient—"Well, I'll pay for your
medicine, and return your visits."
One of the Family.
Mrs. Puff (to the nen* maid) --"But,
AIice, there are dilly two in the family
—Mr. Puff a.md myself. Why had you
set places for three?"
The New Maid—"But, ma'am, the
cook told me that you ht.d a piano -
player in the house."
The family names of Packer 'and.
Packman come down to us from the
express'men and purcleasing agents of
the middle ages.
They were not, of course, followers
of calling strictly parallel to those of
the modern expressman and purchas-
ing agent, yet the similarity close
enough to warrant the use of those
terms "with. reservations..'
Their economic reason for existence
was the result of poor commutation
facilities in the middle ages. The
housewife who lived just outside Lon-
don or any other city could notrim
into town to do a little shopping as
easily as she could to -day. A journey
Of even a few miles was• a fairly seri-
ous and time-consuming proposition.
Nor did all of the ladies who had the
funds and the desire to spend them in
the larger shops of the cities have the
servants and horses at their disposal
that their more wealthy sisters of the
nobility had. Hence the "packer," or
"pe ckman."
The "packer" was a trustworthy in-
dividual of sound jadgment and repu-
tation
eputation in his own community who act-
ed as the go-between for those of that
community who wished to strop in the
city. He gave. "express" service by
riding a horse instead of driving a
cart. His customers trusted him with
their money and their tastes, and he
brought their purchases back to them
in his saddlebags.
As the name appears in the Writs of
Parliament and other old reuords, first
as purely descriptive of a calling, and
later as a family name, it was spelled
"Pakkere," "Packere," or "Pakeman."
