SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A German has invented a cannon,

1he suggestion has been made that
sanitary advantages would result from

How Watch Gases are Made,

In buying a silver watch case great care
should be taken to secure one that is solid
silver throughout. The cap of most cheap
silver cases is made of a composition known
as albata, which is very poor substitute
for silver, as it turns black in short time.
The backs of such cases are made much
thinner than those of an all silver case,
being robbed in order to make the cap
thicker and get in as much as possible of
the cheap metal. Another important point
In asiiver case is the joints or hinges, which
should be made of gold Those of most
cheap cases are made of silver, which is
not suitable metal for that purpose. In
brief period it warps, bends and spreads
apart, allowing the backs to become loose
upon the case and admitting the dust and
dirt that accumulate in the pocket The
Keystone SilverWatch Gases are only made
with silver caps and gold joints.

Magic No More a NIystery-Seen From
Across the World.

''Haroun of Aleppo,' said Sir Philip Derval,
chad mastered every secret in nature which the
nober magic seeks to fathom. He discovered that
the true of healing is to assist Nature to throw
off the dsease--to summon, it were, the whole
system to eject the enemy that has fastened on a
part His processes all included the reinvigoration
of the principle of life
In this the Eastern sage merely anticipated the
practice of the best physicians of to-day. What life
itselfis, nobody knew then-nobody knows now.
But we have learned something of the reasons why
the mysterious tide rises and falls. Provided the
great organs of the body not irreparably de-
stroyed, medical science always relieve, and

heres to the barbarous and stupid processes of de-
pletion such bleeding, by which it attempted
to cure disease by reducing the patients ability to

In this intelligent and benefcent work, it is con-
coded that PARkER'S TONIC leads all other med.
icines. As an invigorant it acts Immediately and
powerfully upon the circulation and the organs OF
