Source A locality, or place name. Brodle fs the name of one of the Scottish clans, much of the ancient history of which was lost for all time when, about 1645. Lord Gordon spread waste their lands and burned their stronghold. Racially the clan does not seem to have been Gaelic, for originally It came from Moray, from which it must be concluded that it probably was Pic- tlsh. But about 1160 it begins to appear upon the historical records which re- main to-day as one of the clans which was loyal to King Malcolm IV. at the time when he Insured himself against future rebellions by transplanting cer- li:i clans which had questioned his authority. The Brodle* were among those who received grants of land at that time. The clan name itself was apparent- ly derived from a place name, that of "Brodie," or as it appeared In one of the old Latin writs of King Alexander III., "Brothie," a locality In Moray. The place name is descriptive of tho nature of the ground, meaning a coun- tryside broken by little ridges of ground. The transition from the clan names of Scotland and Ireland to family names virtually Is no transition at all, tor in those ancient daya In which the clan names originated they fulfilled all the functions of the modern family name, in addition to having signific- ance in the political and social struc- ture of those days. Indeed the Scot tish and Irish clans still live in cher- ished tradition among those who bear their names, if not legally as clan or ganizatlons.

Marvelous strides toward helping the blind were made during the war, but a recent English invention pro- raises to exceed almost all of them. Every one IB familiar with the books made especially for the blind by the Bralllle method, n which the letters urf raised or Indented by means of a sharp instrument. It is a slow and la- borious process at best, and the sup- ply of Bralllie books Is necessarily limited by the expense of the output and because Uralllle letters wear down into unintelliglbility. But now comes the optophone, a ma- chine which makes available to the blind all kinds of typewritten matter ! and even newspapers. It depends not I upon the sense of touch, as do the Hmiilje books, but upon the sense of hearing, a faculty that is usually keen- ly developed In all blind persons. Only i a few lessons are needed for the blind user of the optophone to learn the sys- tem. The chemical selenium Is the Impor- tant element In the optophone. A selenium bridge is exposed to light pulsations that vary according to the forms of the typewritten or printed letters that are passed through the machine. A sensitive head phone like thus.' used by radio enthusiasts is worn by the blind operator, and It re- cords single note% and chords through the selenium bridge. This sound al- j phabet la different from our own in i common use, but is easily learned, and the optophone can be operated at high speed by the more proficient. Dr. B. E. Fournier d'Albe, who makes his home In London, la the man who has brought the optophone to per- fection, and so taken from thousands ! of his less fortunate fellows one of the greatest terrors of being blind lack of contact with the world at large. s-XB- e Relieves Dyspepsia M.

During the autumn, conger eels are very abundant there. They He off the coast beyond the low-water line, where the spring-tides, at this period of the year, leave exposed a vast expanse of mud. The conger-hunters take advant- age of this to pursue their sport. Wear- Ing wadlng-boots, and armed with a thick stick some six feet long, one end of which is sharpened after the far shlon of a chisel, they set out, accon> paiiicd by a motley collection of dugs. Bouldera and large stones are turn- ed over to lay bare the lair of tbe eels, the long sticks being used to stir up the mud. The eels then start to wrig- gle; this excites the dogs, who seize them as firmly as possible. It IB no easy matter, however, for an angry eel \ a ticklish, slippery customer, with more strength than one might credit. But the dogs soon become quite ex- pert at their job. Having got a firm hold of an eel, they will stick to It un- til the hunter helps them to "land" it. The conger-eel weighs anything from five to nine pounds, aud even larger ones are sometimes caught.
