ANACONDA, MONT., a city of rapid growth, 

 famed for the largest copper-smelting industry 

 in the world. The population, chiefly Amer- 

 ican, includes also Irish, English, Austrians and 

 Croatians; the people in 1910 numbered 10,134; 

 in 1915, the city had increased to 10,424. It 

 is the county seat of Deer Lodge County, in 

 the southwestern part of the state, on Warm 

 Springs Creek, about twenty-six miles north- 

 west of Butte and about sixty-five miles south- 

 west of Helena. Railway accomodations are 

 afforded by the Butte, Anaconda & Pacific 

 Railway, which* connects with the Northern 

 Pacific, the Great Northern, the Chicago, Mil- 

 waukee & Saint Paul railways and the Oregon 

 Short Line of the Union Pacific Railway. Ana- 

 conda was only a small mining camp^n 1880, 

 it was incorporated as a city in 1889 and re- 

 ceived its name from the famous Anaconda 

 copper and silver mine, located at Butte. The 

 area is about one square mile. 



The rapid growth of Anaconda is due to 

 tin founding of its great copper-smelting in- 

 dustry. The Washoe Reduction Works em- 

 ploy 3,500 men, the payroll amounts to $450,- 

 000 monthly; about 16,000 tons of ore are 

 treated every twenty-four hours. These works 

 produce about ten per cent of the world's out- 

 put of copper. There are also large railroad 

 shops, machine shops, brick works and other 

 manufactories. The city maintains a high 

 school and a public library, which was the gift 

 of Mrs. Phoebe Hearst, in memory of her 

 husband, former Senator Hearst. The Mon- 

 tana Hotel, erected at a cost of $100,000, the 

 Daly School of Gymnastic* and Domestic 

 Science, which cost $60,000, Saint Ann's Hos- 

 pital and two banks are the notable buildings. 

 Four playgrounds and a baseball park that 

 becomes a free skating rink in winter are main- 

 tained by public subscription. At Anaconda 

 is located The Montana State Fish Hatchery, 

 winch supplies trout, grayling and white fish 

 for restocking the streams and lakes of the 

 state. Georgetown Lake, Silver Lake and the 

 in. ling mountains form the scenic beauty 

 of Anaconda. Deposits of graphite, silver, gold 

 and sapphires are found in the vicinity. r.\\ \\ 



ANAEMIA, am; 'mi a, a condition character- 

 iced by lack of some important part of the 

 blood. It is of two kinds, primary, or perni- 

 cious anaemia, and secondary anaemia. In the 

 former, the cause of which is unknown, there 

 is a great decrease in the number of red blood 



cells. The victim of this condition has a very 

 bad outlook and should be under the care of 

 a skilled physician. In secondary anaemia the 

 chief deficiency is in the coloring matter of 

 the blood. This condition yields more or less 

 readily to treatment. The best cure is natural 

 living a diet consisting largely of grains, milk, 

 fruit, vegetables, eggs and a small amount of 

 meat; exercise in the open air; and about 

 eight hours of sleep a day in a well- vent ilated 

 room or out-of-doors. Tonics containing iron 

 are often helpful, but these should be pre- 

 scribed by a physician. 



ANAESTHETIC, anesthct' ik, the classical 

 form of ANESTHETIC (which see). 



ANA ' GRAM, from two Greek words mean- 

 ing backward writing, is the name given a word 

 or words made by changing the order of the 

 letters of another word, phrase or sentence, 

 so as to form an expression which has a differ- 

 ent meaning. For example, the letters of 

 French Revolution may be arranged to form 

 the phrase "Violence run forth." This is a 

 good anagram because it contains the exact 

 letters of the original expression, and is at the 

 same time an apt description of the Revolu- 

 tion. 



The making of anagrams was invented by 

 the ancients, and was a popular exercise among 

 the Jews, Greeks and Romans. The Eu- 

 ropeans of the Middle Ages particularly en- 

 joyed this amusement, and in more recent 

 times literary men of note have felt it not 

 beneath their dignity to form pen names out 

 of the letters of their real names, though John 

 Dryden called this "the torturing of one poor 

 word ten thousand ways." Barry Cornwall, 

 poet, is the anagram for Bryan Waller Proc- 

 tor, and Voltaire is formed from the family 

 name of that French author. One of the best 

 anagrams ever made was formed from the let- 

 ters in the name of Horatio Nelson, the Eng- 

 lish hero of the Battle of the Nile "Honor 

 est a Nilo," a Latin sentence meaning "Honor 

 is from the Nile." Anagram making is a good 

 in. tit ul exercise, and may be recommended as 

 an interesting pastime for those fond of solving 

 puzzles. 



ANALYSIS, anal'isis, a word derived from 

 the Greek, and literally meaning to unloosen 

 or unravel, and also to break up into parts. 

 The term is used in grammar, philosophy, 

 mathematics and chemistry. 



In Grammar. Analysis is the breaking-up of 

 a sentence into its parts, such as subject, verb, 

 object and modifiers, with the purpose of show-
