We remained here ill about the middle Of the

distance Of two miles. The shell acts in either
of two ways-it will explode on impact with
any hard substance, such as hitting a ship or
fort, and, missing either, its properties are
equally dreadful. If it fall into the sea it will
explode after sinking 80 or DO feet below the
surface, SO that the effect is almost the same,
either hit or miss. It is claimed that if one of
its shells can be dropped within so yards of the
largest ironclad afoat it will blow the vessel
out Of the water.

A tonic is what nervous people require.
To iTpart strength into the nervous or
ganism is to insure its tranquility. pro-
vided causes of unhealthful excitement
are avoided. A medicinal tonic that
like Hostetter's Stomach Bitters-com
mands the unqualified sanction of the
healing profession, and which institutes
a general reform in bilious, dyspeptic
and debilltated condition of the system,
is surely entitled to a careful trial by IN
telligent people, capable of forming due
estimate of medicine. from emphatic
and often recorded professional evidence
in its behalf. Not only are the nerves
and stomach invigorated by the Bitters,
but the system is also endowed with un-
wOnted power of resistance to influences
in air, water or daily avocation subver-
sive of health. Prominently dangerous
among the first named of these is malaria,
against which Hostetters Stomach Bit,
ters affords competent safeguard
rheumatism and kidney troubles are also
prevented and overcome by it.

A writer in Science has set himself to
answer the question, "ls the rainfall in
creasing upon the plainsf After a careful
inspection OF all the available data, he is of
the opinion that there has been no increase
of rainfall on the plains since they began TO
be settled up by farmers They have planted
many trees, IT is true, but not enough to
satisfy the theory which associates forests
with moisture The truth is as the writer
shows, that the prevalent ideas about the
amount of rainfall necessary for farming
operations were erroneous. As the pioneers
have tested the capabilities of the soil in
their western march, they have discovered
that rainfall of twenty inches year is not
the Indispensable minimum They can get
along with ten and II remains to be seen If
even less Will moi answer They have found
that, however Slight the rainfall may be. il.

The wonderful coal tar sugar story, which
has been published in nearly every newspaper
within a year, is again revived, and from re-
cent article in The German Sugar Manufac-
turers' Journal it appears that factory for
the production of that wonderful product
known as saccharine is now completed, and
will be fully equipped for work in a few
weeks. 1t is located in Westerhausen, near
the old historic city of Magdeburg.
This coal tar sugar, having a sweetening
power 800 times greater than cane sugar, it
is said, will be used for mixing with glucose,
and it is presumed will, in large measure,
dlsplace the product of the cane for the same
purpose. The journal from which we gather
the above facts also states that one pound IF
the new saccharine mixed with 800 parts Of
glucose gives compound as good as the best
sugar used on the continent, while 1t can hs
supplied at much lower price-Scientilio
