The court says that as the Jews
spread through the land bordering on
the Mediterranean they drew upon
other languages for personal names,
while retaining Biblical ones, and
such new names became popular in
Italy, Persia, Arabia and Turkey. This
led to the adoption of two names, one
for civic purposes and the other for
Hebrew documents. In 1787 the Aus
trian government compelled the Jews
to adopt surnames.
EXHIBIT EMOTIONS OF FISH
Express Chagrin 'and Delight by
Changing Their Colors-Show
Fear by Turning Pale.
London.-"The term 'cold as a fish'
is one that should never be used,"
said Dr. Francis Ward, lecturing at
the Royal Photographic society's ex
hibition.
Doctor Ward showed by a series
of photographs that fish are able to
express their emotions in a definite
manner. The pike showed expectancy
by raising its dorsal fin, and disap
pointmeit at losing its prey by curv
ing its back-literally "getting the
hump."
Certain fish, it was shown, could ex
press fear by turning pale, their pig
ment cells changing to a lighter color;
and others could bluff successfully
by imitating the more vicious and
weaponed fish among which it lived.
ancient mine in the government
archives at Madrid is due to the fact
that all mines operated in Mexico
during Spanish colonial days had to
contribute a part of their output to
the crown. A careful record was
kept of the output of each mine. Its
location was a matter of official rec
ord with the government. Duplicates
of these ancient records are to be
found in the archives of many of the
old towns and cities in Mexico.
