There are many az the age OF thirty to sixty
who are troubled with too frequent excavations
OF the bladder, often accompanied by a slight
smarfing or burning sensation and a weaken
ing Of the system in "a manner the patient can
not account for. On examining the urinary
deposits, "a rOpy sediment will often be found,
and sometimes small particles OF albumen will
appear; or the color will be Of a thin, milkish
hue, again changing ID a dark and torpid ap-
pearance. There are many men who die OF
tnis difficulty, ignorant Of the cause, which is
the second stage Of seminal weakness DR.. :.

and a healthy restoration Of the genitO-urinary

their arrival there they found to their

scarce in that vicinity, so they found
shelter in the watch-house, and paid fol
it the next day by breaking rock and
cleaning the streets.
The defeat of our old veteran, Mayor
Frazer, was not caused by lack of popu

Edis0n's Electric Light.

Edison's electric light, incredible as it
may appear. is produced from little
piece of paper-a tiny strip OF paper that
breath would blow away. Through
this little strip of paper is passed al
electric current, and the result is a
bright, beautiful light, like the mellow
sunset of an Italian autumn.
But paper instantly burns, even
under the trifing heat of a tallow
candle!" exclaims the sceptic, land
how, then, can it withstand the fierce
heat OF an electric current?" Very true,
but Edison makes the little piece of
paper more infusible than platinum.
more durable than granite. And this
involves no complicated process. The
paper is merely baked in an oven until
all its elements have passed away ex
cept its carbon framework. The latter
is then placed in glass globe connected
with the wires leading to the electricity
producing machine, and the air ex-
hausted from the globe. Then the ap-
paratus is ready to give out light that
produces no deleterious gases, no smoke,
no offensive odors "a light without
flame, without danger, requiring no
marches to. ignite, giving out but little
heat, vitiating no air, and free from all
Pickering; light that is little globe
of sunshine, yeritable Aladdin's lamp.
And this light, the inventor claims, can
be produced cheaper than that from the
cheapest oil. Were it not for the pho
nograph, the quadruplex telegraph, the
telephone and various other remarkable
productions OF the great inventor, the
world might well hesitate to accept his
assurance that such beneficial result
had been obtained. but, as it is, his past
achievements in science are sufficient
guarantee that his claims are not with
out foundation, even though for months
past the press of Europe and America
has teemed with dissertations and ex-
positions from learned scientists ridi-
culing Edison and showing that it was
impossible for him to achieve that
which he has undertaken.-NesgY York

A Pleasant Spot on a Dark Night.

Black creek runs through deep, mar
row gorge in Luzerne county, Pa. A
correspondent of the Philadelphia Times
describes the mountain gap trav ersed
by this stream rs most dismal. "Only
a narrow stretch of sky is visable from
below, and this is almost filed with
haze, which the sunbeams scarcely ever
penetrate. When the sky happens to
be clear it is not sunrise in the gap until
ten o'clock, while ut two the sun goes
down. Immense gray boulders abound.
The ground is covered with ashes; and
trunks of fallen pines, charred and
blackened by mountain fires, which
yearly sweep over the place, lie decaying,
sometimes one across the other. Enor-
nous snakes crawl over the rocks
or bathe in the Shiny pools. The
only trees are stunted pines, which grow
out from between the rocks. The
waters are very dark and extremely
sulphurous. In them fish cannot live,
while a frog or snake thrown into the
stream instantly turns over and floats
away, dead" A railroad runs through the
gap, and some mining is done there; but
prosperity has of late deserted the neigh
borhood. Henry Croll, who owns
hotel there, and has a namesake In the
only village, Crolltown. has advertised
his property for sale, but he frightens
all intending purchasers away by telling
them that Black creek became sulphur
Gus through Satan, and that witches
lnfest the streams every night.

tered the room was full. What a beau
tfful scene it wasi All those gayly clad
men and girls, floating along on the pol
ished surface to the sound fentrancing
music, made the place look like fairy
land. 1t was the merriest and prettiest
scene I had ever witnessed. There were
evergreen garlandsA hanging around,
withaholly bushes about here and there,
and many ofthe characters had been got
ten up in dresses appropriate to the sea-
SON. There were four great cedars, in
the corners stuck full of candles which
were now being lighted, and the hand
was playing such inspiring music. 1felt

trimmed with icicles. Idon'tknow how
the very cleverest initiative art could

her dress. She was skating with young

glorious possibility of what might be
awaiting me burst upon me with such
vividness, But presently | became con-
scieus that she was speaking tome She
was praising my costume, which opened
up to me an opportunity which you
may be sure made the most of. She
blushed with pleasure at my praise, and
so, both of us in conscious fiutter, we
came upon Clara Alden. 'joyously
dressed and escorted by her English
man. They stopped in front of us, Miss
Alden saying as they did so:
"Have you all been to the little sit
ting rooms curtained off at that end?
No one seems to have discovered them
yet, though they are one of the features
of the evening. I think it was such a
good idea, and they are beautifully dec
orated;' but when we looked in, Just
now both of. them were empty. How
ever, as soon as somebody leads, they
will be full enough. Suppose you two

She skated off then with her -compan-
ion and Daisy and / went to obey her
behest. But into that little curtained
apartment you are forbidden to enter.

Daisy and l emerged we encountered
Miss Alden at once, and when She
leaned toward me and whispered, Sam

Underground River Of Petroleum.

There is said to be river of petro-
leum flowing through the subterranean
cavities of Texas. It takes its rises in
the carboniferous strata north of the
great bend of the Colorado above Lam
pasas, thence it flows in southeast di-
rection. The first indication known II
this stream is in Burnet county at the
:" tar springs where petroleum covers
the water. Again it appears in the
southeast in Williamson county, and at
several points in the same direction il
the unfrequented forests and thickets'
penetrated by the Great Northern rail-
way. Further southeast it appears
again nine miles northwest of Sour lake;
it appears on most of the wells, and has
covered the surface for q considerable
space with hard asphsltum. Again,
some thirty miles southeast it appears at
Beaumont. Some fifteen miles from
that point an arm of it comes near the
surface of what is known as Oil bay, on
the gulf. where the water is so covered
with oil that the waves have no effect.
Even when the gulf is on its heaviest
blenders the waters of this bay are
said to be perfectly quiet and peaceable,
and it Is therefore favorite place OF
refuge for trading vessels when a storm
is thr hreatened. Perhaps this river Of
petroleum passes through the subterra-
mean cavities under the gulf, and is the
same that at last boils up in Trinidad,
making the great asphaltun lake.
Along the shores near Sabine bay ii is
also common for chunks of asphaltum
TO be thrown up by the sea. The river.
if it be river, has never yet been tapped
by the hands of man, and its great sup
