Fight Off Rheumatism.

We have entered the season when

prevalent. After several months Of

resorts, are relaxed, weakened and
more or less choked up with waste
Exercise, the great eliminator of waste
material, is quite naturally neglected
during hot weather. And, what is
equally unfortunate, those who exer-

waste avenues more or less clogged
up. That is condition of things very
favorable to rheumatism. Those who

Horses Have Heart Disease.

Horsemen in Kent county are Pea
zled in regard to the appearance Of a
peculiar and fatal disease among
horses. The closest investigation 50
far has failed to give any satisfactory
solution to the trouble, and the only
hypothesis is that from some unac-
countable cause the horses affected
have died from heart disease. The
animals apparently we'll drop, and in
some cases are dead almost instantly
A horse belonging to Josiah Massey.
a farmer living near Chestertown,
while being bridled few days ago for
use on the farm, fell dead, as did an
other belonging to Henry Massey.
The horse was quietly grazing in the
pasture when Mr.. Massey passed near
him and waved his hand to make him
move. The animal raised his head
and started to walk off and fell dead
in his tracks. In the cases mentioned
the horses were apparently well up to
the moment of death. eating heartily
and showing no signs of sickness.
Whether or not the disease is conta-
gious it is impossible to say, as all in
vestigation has failed to furnish any
satisfactory knowledge of the nature

The Harvest Moon.

The "harvest moon" is the full moon near
est the autumnal equinox, Sept. %. 1t usu
ally occurs in September, though i'll 1882 it
fell on Oct. 5. The popularity of this moon
is that during the time that she is full, and
few days before and after, in all about
week, there is less difference between the
time of her rising on any two successive
nights than when she is full in any other
month in the year. By this means all imme-
date supply of light is obtained after sunset
during the continuance OF these harvest
moons which is beneficial to the husbandman
In order to gain an insight into this phe-
nomenon. it must be borne in mind that the
moon is always opposite to the sun when she
is full, that she is full in the signs Pisces and
Aries, these being the signs opposite to Virgo
and Libra which the sun passes through in
September and October. Thus, although
whenever the moon enters these two signs
land she does so twelve times i'll year,, the
same circumstance takes place with regard
to the time of her rising, yet it is not OBJ
served OIL these other occasions. just because
she is not full at the time. The reason Of
there being little difference in the time at
which sherises on several consecutive nights
is that at these periods her orbit is nearly
parallel with the horizon.

Antiquity of Electricity.

Thales, Greek philosopher, who lived 600
years before Christ, is said to have known
the electrical properties of rubbed amber
Otto Won Guericke, in l647 constructed the
first electrical machine. Franklin, in l74S,
killed turkey by electricity, and roasted it
on an electric jack before a fire kindled by
the electric spark. Perhaps this was the ear
lest actual use of electricity As long ago
as 1747 electric shocks were sent over short
distances. Reisen, in 1894, by using thirty
six wires, one for each letter or character,
sent messages over small distances. Morse
simplified the telegraph, using only one wire,
instead of from thirty to thirty-six wires
His first public message was What hath God
wroughtF'. This was on May a. 1874. Two
days later the Democratic convention i'll Bal
timore nominated James K. Polk for presi-
dent and Silas Wright for vice president.
Mr.. Vail, Morse's assistant, telegraphed the
news to Morse in the Capitol. Morse told
Wright, and the convention was aStonished
to get dispatch from him declining the
nomination. The convention wouldn't be-
ieve it, and sent committee to Washington

How Far Sound May he Heard-Ths Me-

In reference 70 the question a. to the dis
lance at which sounds may DO heard, both OF
the voice and Of cannon, II may DO observed
that the conditions under which tho sound Of
cannon or even the sound Of human voice
can be heard are various Atmospheric cur
rents PROFESSIONALLY have something to do
with 1t, but there are local circumstances
which favor or disfavor the hearing Of sounds
at great distances. However, the distance
at which the ear can distinguish sound de-
ponds both Oh the intensity of the sound, the
medium through which it Is transmitted and
other causes In the polar regions Sir John
Franklin said he "conversed with ease at q
distance OF more than O mile" Sound has
greater force In water Colladen, by expert
ments made in the Lake Geneva, estimated
that bell submerged in the sea might be
heard at a distance Of more than sixty miles.
Franklin also says that he heard the strik-
ing together Of two stones in the water half
mile away. The report Of cannon travels
very far, because it communicates a vibra-;
ton to the soil. The cannonade of Florence
was heard beyond Leghorn, about fifty-six
miles Off, and that Of Genoa 100 miles off,
In l762 the cannon Of Mayence was heard at
Timbeck, village l4S miles off. When
the English landed in Egypt the firing was
distinctly heard 1870 miles off, In 1909 the
booming Of the cannon in Heligoland reached
Hanover, a distance of Isl miles. The great
est distance at which artifcially produced
sounds are known to have been heard was on
Dec. 4, 1882, when the cannons Of Antwerp
were heard in the Erzgebirge mountains, $40
miles distant. The noise produced by an in
tense eruption of Mount Cotopaxi, in South
America in l744, was heard at distance Of

Origin Of Language.

The subject Of the origin Of language,
more than any other perhaps, has been fer.
tile of speculation and attended with less
satisfactory results than most other topics.
The Jews positively insist that the Hebrew
tongue is the primitive language and was the
one spoken by Adam and Eve The Arabs,
however, dispute the point Of antiquity with
the Hebrews OF all the languages, except
the Hebrew, the Syriac has had the greatest
number Of advocates, especially among east
ern authors. Many maintain that the Ian
guage spoken by Adam is lost and that the
Hebrew, Chaldee and Arabic are only dia-
lects of the original tongue. Goropius pub
lished work in 1880 to prove that Dutch
was the language of Paradise. Andre Kemp
maintained that God spoke to Adam in
Swedish, Adam answered in Danish and Eve
spoke in French VERY like satire,, while the
Persians believe three languages to have
been spoken in Paradise: Arabic, the most
persuasive, by the serpent; Persian the most
poetic, by Adam and Eve, and Turkish, the
most threatening, by the angel Gabriel.
Emo claims Basque as the language spoken
by Adam, and others would make the Poly
nesian the primitive language of mankind.
Darwin says what must be admitted throws
no more light Oh this subject than is in the
fancies already named: with respect to the
origin of articulate language, after having
read on the one side the highly interesting
works of Wedgwood, Farrar and Professor
Schleicher, and the celebrated lectures Of
Professor Max Muller on the other side,
cannot doubt that language owes its origin to
the imitation and modification, aided by
signs and gestures, of various natural sounds,
the voices of other animals and mans own
instructive cries -,-.s---. .--,.-.,- 4

ABBOTT's SCHEME
To Make Trans-Pacihc Route From
Australia to Vancouver.


New YoRK, Sept. 23.--Smallcy's Lon
don special says: Abbotts mission to
Australia is considered here OF some I'M
portuncc. His primary object is to press
the claims of Vancouver rs against Sun
Francisco us the terminus of the new
trans-Pacific steamship route. Canada
has already promised sl0O, 600 for, an
eightecn.knot service between, England
and Canada, and is prepared to give
l75,OOO for the proposed service between
Vancouver and Sydney, New South
Wales. Abbott wishes to induce the
Australians to contribute an additional
sum of 275,0OO toward the Pacific
subscription In order to secure
fast boats, capable of giving twenty.
eight days mail between London and
Sydney. He will not find all the colo
the Pacific business. South Australia
will certainly object to the line, because
1t would injurc Adelaide and possibly
Melbourne, which contains IL bitter ri
valry towards sydney and will not care
to see the older capital of New South
Walcs.profit by Abbotts proposal. sgd
ncy may be content to sit still and see
whether the United States may not otter
more liberal terms than Canada in order
to mnlntain the present San Francisco
route for its mails and commerce. We
do not sufficiently know the terms of
Abbotts inter.colonial schemes, but tha.
lie takes some project in his portnantcau
is the belief OF everybody who has any
knowledge of the subject.
Behind all this is the Pacific cable
project, which Canada also strongly sup
ports. Australian colonies deem 1t n
pious aspiration, but are not near az
eager rs Canada to spend money on the
scheme. They do not more than halt
employ the cable routes to England.
