SOME IRISH COGNOMENS.
Maanlnga Att»ohed te the Mast Com
mon of the turriajnae.
Tb« fact la not generally known that
Ireland was the flrat eoaatry In mod
ern Europe to enforce the adoption of
aurnamea by law. The act prescribing
their general uee waa pweed mora than
a hundrvd. years before tha Anglo-Sor
man lavaaloa. wbereea surnames did
not come Into geaerai use In England
until tha days of Queen Elizabeth nor
In Wales till lata In. the seventeenth
century.
There are some Interesting meanings
attaching to tbe most common of Irish
names, saya tbe London Tit-Bits. Here
are a few with tha curious changes of
spelling that have com* about alnce the
names first originated:
Murphy came from O'Murpby, Mor
pbey and Morybew, meaning "superl
or;" Kelly came from O1 Kelly, Klely.
Keeley. meaning "for war;" O'Connoi
came from Connors, Oonerty. meaning
"helper," and Dougherty from O'Do
herty, Doherty, DaughaOay, meaning
'destroyer." It is noticeable that all
Irish names at the first stage In their
history had '*0' " befere them, the first
change consisting of dropping that
'O'." It will not be necessary there
fore to repeat tbe uume with tbe "O'"
before It.
Sullivan was originally BlWfant and
Sulllvant. meaning "Quick sighted;"
O'DonaeU and UeDooneU and aU com
blnatlons of thai name were Donald.
Daniel. Dona, meaning "Tlark chief:'
Moloney was O'Uuilewney, Meioney
Mulluny. meaning "thoughtful;" Me
Cormack was O'Cormack; McCormac
McCortnick, meaning "»oc of the
crown;" Flyua was Ftonn, meaning
"red;" FLaanlgan was Klnnlgen, mean
lng "druld;" Boyle was Boylan. Bo
land, Bolan. Boylln, meaning "benign:'
O'Brlan was Bryan, Bryant. Brines.
Bryon, meaning "author;" Brady was
\IcBrady, meaning "ship captain," and
Macauley was O'Cawlew. McUawly.
McAuly. McAullff. Cawley. meaning
"echo," or literally "soo of the rock."
Hydro aaroplaooa.
The Ideti of the hydmaeroplace w»

in rase of accident the Baoiilat would
