THE WINTER
Said to Have Originally IndicatedWetness Not Coldness
There is a prevailing impression thatthere is something in the word winter that signifies cold and the season is usually associated with the ideaof low temperature but where the
originated there was little ofwinter as we understand it whilethere was a great deal of moisture atthe time the earth was nearest to thesun so that it is not the temperaturebut the atmospheric condition that hasgiven us the word
winter as we use it isfound with but slight modifications inall the branches of the Aryan 1 languages for the idea of wetness associated with the season was given to itbefore the Aryan family was divided
If go to the root of the word wefind wad with the signification of towell to wash out to moisten or makewet Our Aryan ancestors used thatroot to apply to all conditions of
and many words besideswinter have grown out of it wet andwater being among them
This root wad is in the Sanskrit asudan water AngloSaxon has wae
ter and in Latin we have undawave from which we get our inundate
Our Danish and Swedish cousinschanged the w into a v and haveenter In Icelandic it is vetir
and the old high German has wintar and it is winter in GermanThese four words are all from theTeutonic base wata whichwet So it has been moisture that hasbeen indicated from the birth of theroot on which all of the different wordsIn a dozen languages have grownNew York Herald
CURIOUS FLORIDA HERBi
Red Plant Which Feeds Upon Antsand Other Insects
Almost everybody knows there aresuch things as insectivorous or carnivorous plants but it is doubtful if manyknow we have any such plants growing right here in southern FloridaNevertheless there is a plant or
herb growing here which is reallyinsectivorous
It is likely that on account of its being extremely small it has escapedattention In fact it seems to havebeen overlooked by the botanists alsoas we are unable to find it classedamong the sensitive plants
This is an annual herb and the entire plant including the flowers is ofa deep rich red color It rarely reached a height of more than three inchesand is never so broad The leaves arcspatulate when undisturbed and
many small fibrillae and secreteat their tips a tenacious fluid which iscapable of holding the very small insects such as ants and the like upon
i which it feeds When any of these getlodged in the fluid and disturb thesefibrillae the leaves slowly acquire adeep cut shape and sometimes curlcompletely up over their victim Whenthey have absorbed the insect theyslowly recover their original shapeleaving only the skeleton of the insectremaining
These plants grow on the very lowflat poor and sandy lands They appear In the late winter a d earlyspring Gorda FlaHerald
The Human TemperaturePut to the test of the
it appears that the normalof the body is almost invariable
regardless of latitude or season Putting the bulb of the thermometer
the tongue of an Eskimo at thefrozen north or of a man under the
j blazing sun of the tropics we find thatin each case the body being in a stateof health the temperature is about thesame the difference not amounting toa degree We may say absolutely thatthe average normal temperature ofa human being is about 985 degreesF just as we may say that at sealevel water boils at 212 degrees FNew York American
Put In More WordsNow said the teacher
what is it makes the water of the seaso
said PetersNext said the teacher What Is
it makes the water of the sea sosaltyThe
salty quality of the sea wateranswered Next is due to the admixture of a sufficient quantity ofchloride of sodium to impart to theaqueous fluid with which it
a saline flavor is readilyrecognized by the organs of taste
Right said the teacherone
Mutton BirdsDuring six weeks every autumn the
400 inhabitants of the Australian Furneaux islands make enough money tosupport themselves in idleness the restof the year They do this by catchingthe very fat young mutton birdswhich are hatched there in such numhers that the flocks when they
extend for mires They furnishfood and oil which is used for
purposes and also as a substitute for cod liver oil
