Hence, the force ofthe following voluntary let
ter, which is based upon the conscientious con-
viction formed from the long and cautious
experience of leading drug house of Boston,
represents in every. line a most important
and valued revelation: Boston, July IL,
18S7.-The Charles A. Vogeler Co,-Gpntle-
men: Many preparations are placed before
the public, and for time at least they have
a large but temporary sale-large, because of
the extensive advertising; temporary, as the
suffering class soon realize that the COM
pound possesses but little merit. Not so with
St. Jacobs Oil. Its success has been constant
from the start, and to-day we regard it as one
of those standard remedies that our trade
consider as absolutely essential to always
carry in their stock. Personal experience
and the good words of the druggists of New
England all tend to prove that each year will
add to it's sale and well deserved popularity.
Signed, Doolittle & Smith" Taking the
many cases of cure, published by the pro-
prietors, examples are given of its unvaryng
effects in the worst chronic cases, and there
is nothing in trade which can approach its
efficacy.

Photographing Bullets in Motion.


An Austrian physicist, Herr 81.
Mach, of Prague, has made some in
teresuing experiments on photograph
ing rifle bullets in motion by means OF
the electric light. In doing this he
illumines the bullet by letting it break
an electric current formed. but the
velocity of the bullet must exceed that
OF sound, in order that the conditions
of the air before and behind the pro-
jectile can be shown.
After many experiments, Herr Mach
succeeded in photographing projec
fired by Mr.. Wernal and Mr.. Jurde's
guns, having respectively an initial
velocity of 438 and $50 meters per Sec
ond. The photographs thus obtained
showed an air formation in front of the
bullet having the form of hyperboie,
whilst behind it almost vacuum was
formed, in which, when the initial
velocity was very great, there were
some curious spiral motions
On the whole, there appeared from
these Photographic to be 8 great sim
ilarity between the motion of q body
through the water, and that OF q pro-
jectile through the air.

ANNEXATION OF CANADA.
The Disastrous Attempt to Accomplish L {
by Force A Famous Retreat.


by Force A Famous Retreat.
The present agitation concerning the rela-
items between Canada and the United States
recalls the time when the annexation of that
country was proposed 10 be brought about
by ior c OF arms The project was entrust-
co TO the brave General Montgomery, as
sisted by the famous patriots Colonies Ethan
Allen and Seth Warner. While engaged III
this invasion Ethan Allen was taken prls-
oner by the British and sent to England,
where he experienced very harsh treatment.
1t was Col. Warner who twice conducted
lis men safely home, though the march was
constantly surrounded by dangers. Once
Montgomery sent them home because their
time was out, and though they were willing
TO continue in service, they were without
sufficient clothing and none could be had
IN that country.
Colonel Warner had hardly arrived home
before he heard that Montgomery had been
killed, and the cause, as well as the lives of
the men, were put in great jeopardy. He
collected his men again and at once started
for Canada to assist his countrymen in their
extremity But his efforts were of no avail,
and it was soon found necessary to take UP
the line of retreat.
1t was the dead of winter and only neces-
sity sanctioned moving the troops. The
terror of pursuit and the rigor of the season
furnished sufficient cause for alarm and
haste Colonel Warner remained with the
rear of the army, and aided them in many
ways most effectuaEy, as he was a man
well posted in caring for the sick, and this
knowledge now came into excellent use.
He must keep the army in motion, not a
day must be lost, and yet he was without
any chest of medicines. But he understood
the medicinal use of roots and herbs, and of
proper care at critical times and with these
allies he made an effectual fight against dis
ease among his men.
When Tconderoga was reached and the
roll called, thanks to Seth Warner but few
vacancies in the ranks appeared.
Col. Warner saved the lives of hundreds
of men in this way, and he did a noble
work, but it remained for his namesake, H.

Enlistment, to give the same kind of RENE
