Ancient Recipe for Making Thunder

In the Middle Ages anybody at all
distinguished by knowledge of science
was creditsd with the art of flying, and
indeed in many cases did not scruple to
claim it. Albertus Magnus was one of
these, but refused to give particulars to
the world at large. He tells us, however.
how to make thunder. Says he: Take
one pound of sulphur. two pounds of
willow carbon, and six pounds of rock
salt ground very fine in a marble NOR
tar; place where you please in cover
ing made of flying papyrus to produce
cend and float away, should be long,
graceful and we'll filed with this pow
der; but to produce thunder the cover
ing should be short and thick, and half

The Latest Addition to the Statuary Hall
OF the Capitol.
Statuary Hall. in the Capitol at WASH
ington. the old House OF Representa-
tives, is becoming even now crowded
Within the last ten years space has
been given here to various States that
wish to place in the Capitol statues rep
resenting their leading men who have
acquired National fame. The last edi-
ton to the collection is statue of Gen.
eral Garfield, presented by the Stats of
Ohio. This is the work of Niehaus, a
Cincinnati sculptor, who has been edu-
Gated abroad. and whose talent deserved
the task assigned him. The Garfield
statue is one of the best of the modern
additions. 1t represents Garfield
figure as it really was. There is no at
tempt to idealize him in any way. He
is standing in an easy pose, with his
head in the position of man about to
address an audience. The weight of
the body rests upon the right leg. The
dress of the. figure is baggy frock
suit. The numerous wrinkles aud
curves in the suit give lines OF ease and
take away very much from the stiff ap-
pearance Of the ordinary attempts to
render the modern dress in marble.

fields character, although the likeness

count of its tendency toward the heart

ties OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is that
of expelling from the circulation those

eliminate these impurities from the blood.
The Bltters, by stimulating these organs
to activity, enables them TO perform this
