Tortured with dyspepsia, suffering the
horrors Of Indigestion, bowels constipated
and head aching, they led life of des-
pondency and gloom until relieved by
Browns Iron Bittors. The effect of this
blood purifying Alternative and strength
ening medicine is so prompt and decisive
that from the commencement of its use
the patient derives benefit, and by con-
tinuance reaches the goal of perfect
health. Wearied by the cares ofbusiness,
overworked by the duties of the farm,
or worn by his daily labors, the man
turns to Browns Iron Bitters for the
strength and lile-giving properties il inn
parts. Mentally and physically, the
business man is restored, the muscles of
the laborer are hardened, and his power
of endurance is increased. Depressed by
physical weakness, suffering from dis
abilities peculiar to females, oare-worn
and nervous, the wife finds relief, gains
strength of body and nerves, and removes
her peculiar disorders by the timely use
of Browns Iron Bitters. The demands of
society, the demands of fashion, the close
confinement for long hours in ill-venti-
lated stores and school-rooms, the wear of
the brain from close thought and combining
study, make the sons and daughters,
youth or children, subject to peevishness,
ill-temper, lassitude and drowsiness; pro-
duce weak condition of the blood, loss
Of appetite, nervousness, and dull, tired
feeling, all of which are dissipated, all
removed by the faithful use of Browns
Iron Bitters. Equally beneficial for old
and young; to the latter it furnishes ma

POWER OF COAL.
The Enormous Results Accomplished BJ
Trifling Bit of Coal.

The Enormous Results Accomplished By
Trilling Bit of Coal.
Some idea of the latent power in n
single pound or ounce of hard coal can
be gathered from the following simple
illustration; In the village of Evanston,
twelve miles north of Chicago, the water
supply is drawn in through pipes rum
ming out into Lake Michigan, by steam
pumps. which drive it with great force
through other pipes extending over the
town. From these it escapes with We
locity enough to be thrown through
hose pipes over the tops of tall build
ingS. and thus does away with any ne
cessity for fire engines. Many other
villages and cities have the same ar
rangement. The point of interest is in
the report of the engineer, stating that
during December 16, 6,412, 400 gallons. or
131 ,299, 200 lbs, of water were thus
drawn and forced through the pipes,
and that to do this triie over % tons,
or 90, 2S2 lbs, of coal We're burned. This
shows that every pound of coal
i'll burning expanded water into
steam with a sutficiency of power
to force 2,611 lbs, or over IA tons OF
water, through the pipes at the high
pressure described Besides this, there
was the friction of the machinery and
of the water along the sides of the
pipes. According to this, bit of coal
the size of a pea, or about one-eighth of
an ounce, supplies power enough to
force a pailful. or 20 pounds of water
through "a mile or two of pipes, and
shoot it out as high as church steeplo.
What enormous power there must he
stored in the quiet black deposits of any
single coal mine, however small!
Another familiar illustration is that of
tie locomotive. A little heap of coal
in the tender develops power enough
to draw 40 loaded freight ears, aver
aging perhaps 20 tons each with the
loading, or 800 tons, faster than horse
can run, and for distance of forty
miles or more. and up a grade Of say Is
feet to the mile-this is equivalent to
lifting the whole train straight up in the
air GAO feet, or one-eigth of mile-bc-
sides giving it the rapid forward motion.
and overcoming the friction of the
wheels and other running gear.

A FLYING TELEGRAPH.
Details of Plan which, at First Thought,
Seems Visionary.

seems visionary
You have probably seen in the news
papers from time to time some rather
vague allusions to new telegraphing
scheme which is to enable people who
are stationary to communicate with
friends who are travelling on railway
trains while they are in motion. / had
been regarding this scheme as rather
ephemeral, and even visionary, until
recentlt. when n friend of mine, to
whom it was mentioned. broke out most
enthusiastically concerning it, and he
finally induced me to 90 up town to
where the concern is in active opera
ton.
The coftipany which is undertaking
TO introduce this flying telegraph has a
number of lines laid down to illustrate
the working Of the machine, and nearly
every day some railway fliagnate or
other parsonage of influence in the conf
ir1uritv is shown the results of these eX-
periments. The schcrfie is work ed simply
enough A wire is laid down along the
ground between the tracks on which
the oars run. and underneath the
floor of each vehicle is a coil of wire
which takes up the sound as it Is sent
along the ground. The coil does not
touch the other wire at all. but picks up
the sound through the cir, no matter at
what speed the train may be going The
value of the scheme, according to the
promoters, lies partly in the great ac-
commodation which it would be to rail-
way passengers, and partly in the chance
it would give the people in control OF
railroads to avoid accidents. For in
stance, let lis say a railway train runs
off the track. In an instant message
can he sent in each direction the full
length of the road conveying the in
formation and preventing other trains
from following on. Beyond this, it is
claimed that cables may be laid as far as
four hundred miles out TO sea, and that
any vessel sailing over them and sup
piled with this machinery can CONF
municate with the shore. To success
fully accomplish this four or five cables
would laid, separated from each other
at a considerable distance and duly lo-
Gated in this chart. This would not
only give an opportunity to accurately
foretell the arrivals of. steamers, but
would enable passengers to cOmmun!-
cate with friends on shore on any inl-
portant matter. The scheme is In the
hands of some heavy capitalists, and
will undoubtedly be in operation before
long on each one of the big railways
running out of,New York.
The same people have struck another
novel idea in electricity, though whether
it will ever be Of great material value is
still an unanswered question. BY its
use, if you sit in Boston and write your
name with pen attached to one end OF
the wire, the other end of which is in
Worcester or Springfield, your sigma
ture will be exactly reproduced at which,
ever one of these points MAY be deter
mined. There is no immediate means
of determining the utility of this inven-
ton, which is as yet entirely crude, but
it is proposed to give the use of it, for
the time being, to some magician. who
may mystify his auditors by the device

The Early Experiments of the Famous
American Engineer.

The Early Experiments of the Famous
American Engineer.
When about ten years old, his father
fitted for him small workshop, and
there he constructed models of saw
mills, fire-engines, steamboats,, steam
engines, electrical and other machines.
One of the pastimes of his childhood was
to take in pieces and put together again
the family clock, and at twelve years he
was able to do the same with patent
lever watch, with no tools but his
pocket-knife. When thirteen, misfor-
tune overlook his father, and he had to
withdraw from school and work his
own way. His parents went to st,
Louis in 1888, and he went with them.
The steamer was burned in the night on
the way there, and he landed barefooted
and coatless, on the very spot now COW
cred by the abutment of the
great steel bridge which he de-
signed and built. The only open
ing in the way of business that offered
was to sell apples Oh the street, and by
this means, for few months, he sus-
tained himself and assisted in support
ing his mother and sisters. In time he
obtained situation with mercantile
firm, where he remained for five years.
One of the heads of the house having an
excellent library, gave him access to it,
and he used his opportunity well to
study subjects bearing upon mechanics,
machinery, civil engineering and physi-
cal science. In 1889 he obtained en-
ployment as clerk or purser on Mis-
sissippi river steamer He again made
the best use of his opportunity to ac-
quire that complete knowledge OF the
great river which he was afterward able
to turn to such good account in the
noble enterprises he so fortunately car
ried into effect. In 1912 he constructed
a diving-bell boat to recover the cargoes
of sunken steamers. This was followed
with boat of larger tonnage, pro-
vided with machinery for pumping out
the sand and water and lifting the
entire hull and cargo of the vessel.
A company was formed to operate
this device, and it soon had buSl-
ness that covered the entire Missis-
sippi river, from Balize to Galena,
and even branched into some of its
tributaries. BY his methods, a great
many valuable steamers were set
afoat and restored to usefulness which
it would not previously have been possi-
BILE to save, as they would have been
buried very soon beneath the river
sands. 1t was while engaged in this
business that he gained thorough
knowledge of the laws which control
the flow of silt-bearing rivers, and of
the Mississippi he was able to say years
afterward that there was not a stretch
in its bed fifty miles long. between St.
Louis and New Orleans, in which he
had not stood upon the bottom of the
stream beneath the shelter of the div
ing-bell. Science Monthly.
