therefore low-spirited. don't rush off to the
family physician for a prescription, or, on
the other hand, wait until you are sick
abed before doing anything at all; but just
60 to the druggists and for twenty-five
cents get a supply Of DR.. Pierce's Pleasant
Purgative Pellets. Take them as directed,

will have no big doctors bill to pay, and

The analyses of snake poisons made
last summer by DIS. Weir, Mitchell and
Reichert have been fully confirmed by
other investigators. AL of the venoms

pressure, induces swelling (oedema)
and finally brings about putrefactive
effects. The second is a virulent sub

ses is to eliminate the venomous princi-
pie, SO that experiments may be made
as to what drug a be used to the best
advantage in n~eutralizing it.

Lantern slides are now made directly
from Photographic negatives by the use
of a special kind OF dry plate (quarteI
size). which is laid upon the negative
IN a printing frame and exposed for a
few seconds to the light Of an oil lamp.
The plate may then be developed with
ferros-oxalate in the Usual manner. BY
a new application this process, lantern
slides OF many natural objects may be
made directly from nature without the
use of a camera Anything that is more
or less transparent or translucent, and
that may be pressed quite thin, such as
the leaves Of plants, sections Of wood
or organic formations, sections Of min.
erals, metals, fossils, or the thin parts
Of insects, wings, etc., may be copied
directly. In the experiments made,
young leaves from a rose bush were
laid upon q sheet Of clear glass in a
printing frame. The dry plate was
laid face down over the leaves and the
printing frame "a closed. On expos
ure for three seconds to the light Of an
lamp, the dry plate was developed
strongly to get great intensity in the
film. The result was q lantern slide
the rose leaves as q positive
image sharply defined. The light also
passed through the leaves, and every rib
and vein in the tissue of the leaves was
accurately copied in the minutest de-
tail. In a lantern the slide gave a
greatly magniHed picture Of the leaf,
showing the minute veins that were
not visible to the eye In the leaves.
This offers a cheap and ready means Of
copying natural objects for study or for
illustration Of lectures, and by project.
ing the picture upon a screen a large
number of people may examine enlarg-
ed copies of small natural objects. Neg
alive prints a also be taken on ferro-
prussiate paper, Or on silvered paper, as
in printing ordinary photographs, In
this case the leaves would appear black
Oh a white ground, while in q lantern
they would be white on a black ground.
Farther experiments are being made in
this direction.

Engineering warns persons to use

sounds of -hilarIty within, which
were not strictly In accordance with
workmanlike conduct, and on look
ing through the manhole saw the
half-dozen employees IN boisterous
mirth dancing around, painting each
others face and clothes. On seeing the
Superintendent they invited him to
come and be frescoed. S~uspecting the
cause of the unusual proceedings he
summoned a larger force of men, and
much difficulty vas experienced in re-
moving the men, although before all
were taken out the remaining ones

On the State railways in Sweden,
says the Engineering, there is generally
a doctor for every ~thirty-twO miles Of
line. and In this way forty-four doctors
are employed by the Government. The
private railways have a similar system.
The medical men examine all appli-
cants for employment and reject those
physically disqualified, and especially
by defects Of sight or hearing. They
also give their services to and attend to
all injured by accidents on the line, to
regular employees and their families in
sickness, to occasional employees while
engaged in service, and to laborers in
the shops who have paid the same con-
tributions as those engaged in working
the line, and also to their families. No
exception is made in the case of those
who suffer from injury or disease caus-
ed by their own fault.
