Celluloid sheathing for Ships.

Among the various uses Of celluloid it
would appear to be q suitable sheathing
for ships in place of copper. A French COM
pany now undertakes to supply the sub
stance for this at nine francs per surface
meter and per millimeter of thickness. In
experiments by M. Butaine, plates Of eel
luloid applied to various vessels in JAN
nary last were removed five or six months
after, and found quite intact and free
from marine vegetation, which was
abundant on parts uncovered. The color
of the substance is indestructible; the
thickness may be reduced to 0.0003 meter;
and the qualities of elasticity, solidity, i'm
pcrmeability, resistance to chemical &C
tion, etc., are all in favor of the use Of
celluloid. -Annales Industrielles.

Want of Sleep

Is sending thousands annually to the
insane asylum and the doctors say this
trouble is alarmingly on the increase.
The usual remedies, while they may
give temporary relief, are likely to do
more harm than good. What is needed
Is an Alternative and Blood-purifier.
Ayers Sarsaparilla is incomparably
the best. It corrects those disturbances
in the circulation which cause sleepless-
ness, gives increased vitality, and re-
stores the nervous system to healthful
condition.
Rev. T. G. A. Cote, agent of the Mass.
Home Missionary Society, writes that
his stomach was out of order, his sleep
very often disturbed, and some i'm
purity of the blood manifest; but that
a perfect cure was obtained by the use
of Ayers Sarsaparilla.

Heated rooms weaken the eyes, so do small
bonuets which do not shade the face, so does
glare of light, or light that is too dim In
short the eyes need great deal more care
than they get. Ill health of any sort weakens
them. Going with cold feet causes more
harm to the eyes than any one ever suspects,
and many cases of weak eyes are relieved at
once by hot foot baths and thick stockings,

The act of dying, it is now ascertained, is
absolutely free from suffering; it is really un-
conscious, insensibility always preceding it.
Any anguish that may attend mortal illness
ceases before the close, as thousands who have
recovered, after hope had been surrendered,
have borne witness. Sudden and violent
death, shocking 10 the senses, may not be, pro
baby is not, painful to the victim Drown
ing, hanging, freezing, shooting, falling from
height, poisoning of many kinds, beget stu
