The family name of Adams is, of course, a shortened form of Adamson, This surname, together with the many variations which have been formed from the medieval diminutives of the given name, is unusually widespread, bei tself i the .Middle Ages than it is to-day. The medieval English were a sturdy, simple folk, comparatively few of whom could read, and so they lacked the modern facilities to search through the Scriptures for names for their children that the modern ability to read, coupled with the development of printing, would have given them. There was little incentive to learn to read, since books could be produced only by handwriting and were excessively expensive. Hence they got their knowledge of the Scripture! word of mouth, and naturally names which stuck in their were those connected with the dramatic passages. Naturally story of the creation was among the most prominent, which explains why the name of Eve as well as Adam so popular. "Adcock" was a diminutive of the given name. It became a family name as "Adcockson," and was finally shortened again to Adcock. "Ad" and "Ad-kin" or "Atkin" were also forms of the given name, giving rise to Addison, Adkins, Adkinson, Atkins and Atkin- The Scottish or Celeic form of the given name was "Adhamh." A sept of the Clan Gordon bears this name, tracing it to Adam de Gordon, Anglo-Norman founder of the clan in the twelfth century. MacAdam is a sept name in the Clan MacGregor.

A certain type of wave is used that will go from point to point without expanding, and it cannot, therefore, be picked up by any station unless that station happem be in the direct line between transmitting and receiving station The system can be applied to w less telephone or telegraph, and it is expected that it will be in general u before long. Privacy by Wireless. Wireless can, in this way, be re dered as secret and private as a me .sage by wire. Professor J. A. Fleming, of Lond< University, tells us that some time ago a ship in the Atlantic spoke by wireless telephone to a station on the American coast; then, by means of a special apparatus called a thermionic valve, the message was transferred to the New York--San Francisco telephone line, and on to Lcs Angeles. There it was transferred to the wireless telephone and transmitted to the island of Santa Catalina in the Pacific, thirty miles from the mainland, so that a man on a ship in the Atlantic spoke across that ocean, across the continent, and over part of Pacific, a distance of four thousand n THOMPSON Variations--Thompson, Thomas, Tom-son, Tomlinson, Thomlinson, Thorn-lin, Tomlin, Taweson, MacTavish, Racial Origin--English and Scottish. Thomas is a given name which almost deserves to be ranked,with John in the number of family names which are traceable to it; but not quite. It was, of course, a biblical name of great popularity throughout Europe in medieval times, and especially in England. The given name is Hebrew, and About the only puzzle in connection with the rise of the family name Thompson is the insertion of the "p." This is entirely euphonic. The "p" was not there in the original descriptive form of the family name, which was simply "Thom's-son." But the quick opening of the lips after the pronunciation of the "m" to make way for the "s" gives a faint explosive sound. Try saying the name over to yourself rapidly several times, and you'll see how easily the "p" sound creeps in. And at a period when the people spelled more by ear than by book rule, it was natural that the " should slip into the records as well. The other variations of the nan aside from those which include the "lin" syllable and the Scottish forms, need no explanation. The "lin" was a diminutive added to the given name before the formation of the surname. In Scotland there are branches of the Campbells of Argyle who bear the names MacTavish, MacTause and Tawesson, deriving it from "Taus-Corr," a chieftain of the time of Alex ander II. This wonder, and indeed the whole remarkable development of wireless over long distances, has been render-1 possible by the thermionic valve, little instrument that magnifies the current. Even on an ordinary telephoi much thinner and less expensive cable can be used if thermionic valves are inserted. How great the saving Is can be judged by the fact that the wire of the ordinary trunk line between London and Glasgow weighs three hun-r dred tons, and by means of the valve _iL L^lrr--r than half this weight cat the North Sea will remember if^ffK^d. The General Pest Office is heard this ship called the President ny the valve on all its long trunk Wilson, a nickname bestowed on her ! j,^ea Cabinet of the Empire.

"I will always feel grateful to tie wil0 lady in Toronto who advised me to take Tanlac," said Mrs. Gertrude Pu;:s-! ley, 74 Colborne St., London, Ont. j "For three years I suffered from fi cker general run-down condition, following a severe operation.

The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. An Electric Coat. An electrically heated garment, designed especially for use by aviators, has' been developed by the genius of an Italian, Antonangelo Negromanto, of Milan. It has certain very novel features. In the higher reaches of the atmosphere, into which aviators ascend, there is even in the summer time cold so severe that the thickest garments of padded and fur-trimmed leather do not afford adequate protection. The Negromanti coat is woven of threads which, both warp and weft, are electrically resistant wires coated with a fireproof insulating material-- asbestos or silk. The wires are connected with a source of electric currant (which may be a battery of accumulators, and also with an apparatus which contains an aneroid barometer. The latter instrument Is associated with a thermostatic tube in such a way as to vary the electrical resistance of the wires composing the coat. Thus, because of the barometric control of the electric current, the coat gives increasing warmth as the flying machine attains higher and higher latitudes. The higher the aviator goes the more the heat furnished for his comfort by the garment he wears. I know what pleasure is, for I have done good work.--R. L. Stevenson. At a crossroad it is better to sound your horn and put your foot on the brake than to step on the accelerator and try to beat the other fellow across. Almost every week there are advances in wireless. Some years ago Professor Fleming foretold that it might be possible one day for the Premiers of the British Commonwealth, without leaving their offices, to communicate by wireless telephone and attend an Empire Cabinet meeting in Downing Street. It s s that i the e of such a marvel. It might be quite possible, Professor Fleming says, for a British Minister to say to a secretary: "I want the opinion of General Smuts on a matter. Ask him what he thinks," and for the secretary to come back presently and say that the Premier of South Africa approves of the decision. Wireless telephony has one great advantage over the ordinary telephone. It does not distort the form of the sound waves. In the ordinary telephone the waves are much distorted, with the result that the sounds heard at the receiving end are far from perfect. With wireless there is no distortion, and the sound is clear. Fiction Provided For. The husband was seeing his beloved wife off for a holiday. "Maggie, dear," he said, "hadn't you better take some fiction with you to while away the time?"
