is one of those which have developed from bap tismal names which are virtually obso lete today but which were very com mon at those periods in the middle ages in which family names began to take shape its a long stretch from dionislus to tyson but thats really what it de veloped from tyson is ono of those names which became a family name at a fairly ear ly period though it by no means be longs in the earliest classification which is composed almost entirely of anglosaxon names it belongs to the period when the norman influence was still strong but those of norman blood had begun to regard themselves as englishmen dropping french as the everyday language this is es tablished by the fact that dionisius was distinctly norman while the end ing son shows the reassertion of the anglosaxon tongue dionislus was variously abbreviated in the normanfrench speech into the nicknames denis denot and dyot from the latter developed dyotson which at a later period was shortened by many families to dyon and finally changed by others to tyson the lat ter is the more common form in this country today the name often is erroneously ex plained as having originated from tony or antony but historical re cords show no such conection while the path back to dionisius may be traced step by step greenwald variations grunewald greenwalt greenwood racial origin german also english source descriptive of locality the last named of the variations of this family name gives you the clue to its meaning as it is the only name of i english origin in the group the rest are of german development by far the larger number of fami lies in canada bearing the various forms of this name trace it back to german origin for the name had a much wider development in germany than in england this is ascribed to the fact that even though the period of family name formation took place considerably later in germany than in england most sections of thai coun try were less developed than the eng land of two or throe hundred years be fore in short there were more for ests hence more greenwoods in ger many than in england it is rare that an english and a ger man family name of exactly the same meaning run so near parallel in the philology of the words of which they are composed both green and grune come from the same root formerly the english word was spell ed grene and the older form of the german word was gruene in the development of one language the e has prevailed and in that of the other the u in the same maimer the words wood and wald come from the same root the older form of the one was wode developed from a still earlier wolde grunewald is of course the true form of the german name greena- wald and greenwalt are modern varia tions developed as you may plainly observe

what we do not al ways realize is that this development is still going on very slowly as it al ways has done but surely there are a number of scientists es pecially surgeons who think that the process

possibility of extracting from the waters of the ocean the vast qutn- tity of the previous metal known to be held in solution in them as a matter of fact it was rumored recently that a profitable method of doing this had been discovered and that gormany might pay her repara tion debts in seawater gold the rumor however was premature it has been calculated that there is one ounce of gold in every 31000 tons of seawater and this gold is not in simple solution but in what is known as the colloidal state thus render ing its extraction a very difficult and costly matter atpresont indeed the cost of pro ducing gold from seawater is about twenty times the market price o orders from hindquarters murphy a new cavalry recruit was given one of the worst horses in tho troop remember said the

appendicitis when what physiologists call the vermiform ap pendage of the caecum was removed at one time in our history no doubt the appendix served a useful purpose it is a relic of our ascent from a lower form of life in some of the other mammals it is a large organ but in our own bodies it is as a rule quite rudimentary sometimes it is absent altogether in another thousand years or so perhaps no human being will be born with this excrescence but we cannot afford to wait for that and a few years hence very likely the operation for its removal will be as common in infancy as vassination is now prince george had scarcely recover ed from the operation when it was learnt that he was again in the hands of the surgeons on this occasion it was an even simpler matter involving only the loss of his little toes there was certainly a time when our little toes were of use to us pos sibly in chimbing trees but that time is long past they are now merely en cumbrances they do not help us to walk or run or jump they do nothing to improve our golf handicap or our batting or bowling averages to the majority of people they are simply sprigs on which to grow corns the only person to whom little toes are conceivably of importance is the bare foot woman dancer who would per haps look rather odd without them naturo is very slowin extinguishing parts of animal structure that have served their purpose

parent dropped his rifle then in an instant fc being obliged to let go his hold he recovered his presence of mind and gripped the animal by the throat with both bands to keep it from biting his face there they stood locked in a death grip the leopard upright on its hind legs rested all its weight upon him and he with all his muscles braced clenched his fingers- upon the beasts throat although the leopards form idable claws were tearing his shoul ders and arms cruelly pienaar dared not shout or move lest the animal should tear itself away leap upon him again and kill him how long pienaar and the leopard stood there he cannot say but it seemed an eternity the leopard stood so close glaring into his eyes that he could feel its hot breath on his face when the rifle dropped from his hands it had fallen against a tree and now was lying with the muzzlo point ing towards him about three feet from his right knee how to get itwab the question that the beast remained so quiet was he believed owing to his keeping quiet himself so ever so gently he loosened the grasp of his right hand on the brutes throat and at the same time tightened the grip of his left he slowly crouched lower and lower and then cautiously stretch ed his right hand towards the rifle all the time he stared steadily into the leopards blazing eyes presently he found that he could just touch the weapon with his an gers with infinite care he edged over until he was able to grasp it flrmly now came the crucial moment should the rifle as he pulled it toward him catch even momentarily in the under growth the noise would startly the fierce brute into a raging fury he tightened his grip on the beasts throat and began to pull the rifle to wards him as luck would have it the weapon came away freely from the bushes and inch by inch he man aged to draw it to him until its butt rested on the ground against the in side of his right foot from there he slowly raised it with his angers until the muzzle pointed straight at the leopards under jaw then he lifted it a little more and got his finger on the trigger quiokly releasing his grip on the beasts throat he pulled the trig ger and leaped backwards the animal as he
