Aboiit 100 years ago a little settle
ment existed at the mouth of the Mau
mee river. Its name. Port Lawrence,
was given In honor of the great naval
commander. The little town was not
prosperous, and five years later Major
Stickney, an enthusiastic but eccentric
man, founded another settlement right
next to Port Lawrence and called his
village Vistula. Both settlements were
stimulated somewhat by the competi
tion, but neither prospered sufficiently,
and one year later It was proposed to
unite the towns.
Everything was easily arranged ex
cept the name, and here trouble arose.
Major Stickney insisted that the new
community accept the name of his
part. Vistula, but the citizens were not
prepared to have a name thrust upon
them by one whose peculiarities led
him to name his two children “No. 1”
and “No. 2.’’ This fact in the major’s
family life was enough to cause any
suggestion from him to be received
skeptically.
The discussions were many and heat
ed when Willard Daniels, a merchant
of Vistula, suggested that they adopt
the name of Toledo, the ancient capital
of Spain. He explained that the word
originally was “Toledoth,” from the
Hebrew, meaning “Mother of People,’’
and Mr. Daniels said they ought to be
able to come together under such a
title of peace. Another reason was the
remarkable nearness in latitudes of
both places. In Spain and tn Ohio, the
actual difference being only a little
more than one degree. ' Further argu
ments were that it was pleasant in
sound, easy to pronounce and that no
city of the western continent as yet
bore the name.
His reasoning prevailed, and the
united towns assumed the name To-
ledo. That they remained true to it
is shown in the fact that their first
permanent newspaper was called the
Toledo Blade, in recognition of the fact
that Toledo. Sapin, was famed all over
the world for the quality of the swerd
blades which it produced. — Ladies'

ELEVATORS IN EUROPE.

J. A. THOMPSON
'
NOTARY PUBLIC
The use of passenger elevators is not
nearly so general In Europe as it is in
the United States. In Germany and
France most hotels of the very highest
class, catering to wealthy foreign trav
elers. are equipped with elevators
much like the American type, and in
tended to be freely used both up and
down. The cheapest hotels and many
very good ones at moderate prices,
though four or five stories high, are
not provided with elevators.
The almost universal type for me
dium priced hotels has a wooden cage
3 by 5 feet, intended for five per
sons. It is driven by a four horse
power electric motor and controlled by
a .series of push buttons on the outside
at the bottom. A person desiring to go
to the third floor enters the car. and
the attendant (or. rather, any servant,
for there is no elevator boyi pushes
button No. 3. the car stops at the
third floor, and the passenger steps out
and calls down the shaft that the car
is free.
Sometimes the button control is in
side. in which case the attendant ac
companies the passenger. Sometimes
there is an annunciator, but not often,
because the car is not supposed to be
called to an upper floor to carry pas
sengers down, Stalrs are for that pur-
pose. As the French have it, this in-
stitutiontis an “ascenseur” and not by
any chance a “descenseur. ” In any
case, it is a privilege to use it.
A few office buildings are equipped
with the same type elevator: but, as
a rule, none except the most preten-'
tious offices have elevators.—Indianap

WALL STREET BANKS.
A* a Rule They Make Loan* on a 20
Per Cent Margin.
Most Wall .street banks Insist on.
having a twenty point margin behind
each loan. That means that a man
borrowing $100.000 must put up as se
curity stocks or bonds of $120,000 mar
ket value. If the securities decline to
a point where the $20,000 margin is
reduced to $15,000 the borrower is call
ed upon to put up additional securi
ties. Most brokerage bouses do not
wait for such a summons, but send
the necessary collateral to the bank as
soon as they see that the price of their
securities has declined.
But the banks are guided always by
the character and the financial stand
ing of each borrower. Each bank has
a list of favorite borrowers who can
secure whatever money they need in
times of stress or tn times of calm.
The loan clerks know who the favor
ites are and show them every cour
tesy It means a good deal for a Stock
Exchange bouse to get on the “favor
ed list” of a Wall street bank;
Some borrowers, in order to stand
well with a bank, never complain
when the bank raises the rate on their
loans. They go oh the theory that it
is foolish to dispute a rate with a bank
when the difference between 2 per
«ent and' 2% means only $1.39 a day
on the interest charge for a $100,000
loan.—New York Post

SULPHUR SHOWERS.
Not Sulphur at All, Only the Pollen
Grain* of Pine Tree*.
Many persons are aware that in
spring, and especially in early spring,
it happens that after a shower the
edge of every pool of water .in the
streets and along the sidewalks will be
bordered by a rim- of pale yellow color.
As the water evaporates this ring re
mains as a fine powdery mass, so much
resembling sulphur as to have given
rise to the name “sulphur showers.”
This so called sulphur is. of course, not
sulphur at all. When examined under
the microscope it is found to be made
up of a mass of the yellowish pollen
grains of pine trees.
Instead of consisting of a single cell,
as do most pollen grains, that of the
pine consists of three cells, the two
larger end ones being filled with air
and the other containing the ordinary
fertilizing principle. The two air con
taining cells are larger than the other,
and act as balloons to buoy it up In the
air.
In pines and allied trees fertilization
of the cones, by which they are en
abled to set and develop seeds. Is ac
complished by the wind—that is, the
pollen is produced In immense quanti
ties and Is transported through the air
to the cones, which are often on, sep
arate, widely distant trees. Thus It
often happens that the pollen gets up
tn the higher currents of the air. Is
carried for long distances and Is only
brought down to the earth by the rain
producing the so called shower of sul
phur.—Harper’s Weekly.

How Wheat Perspire*.
When you are perspiring furiously in
the dog days it may or may .not con
sole you to think that an ordinary field
of wheat is giving off moisture quite
as furiously. Between the months of
April and July, according to Sir
James Dewar, a field of wheat per
spires sufficient moisture to cover the
surface of its ground to a depth of nine
Inches. Another interesting fact is that
it requires three and a half pounds
of water to produce sixteen grains of
wheat. Speaking of the solar radiation
in tropical places. Sir James says that
in six .flours about four-tenths of a
square mile receives beat equivalent to
the combustion of 1,000 tons of coal,
while an area of 1,300 square miles
receives tn one year heat equivalent to
1,000.000,000 tons of coal—the whole
estimated coal output of Europe
America.—Philadelphia Ledger
