Science Is rather skeptical as TO its practical

current passed in tho proper direction

inventions of recent years have resulted
from efforts to use well-known principles
like this, which scientific men have long
contemplated as interesting facts without
ever dreaming of trying to uso them.
Whether Mr.. Dewey succeeds or fails he
is working in the right way, and many an

The copious rains which have fallen
upon the macadamized streets of this city
have caused miniature quagmires in many
places. Water acts curlously upon the
alleged stones from Englc's quarry. Tho
favorite street building material of the

quite as readily as the limestone after il is
drawn from kiln. No wonder the grand
jury indicts the city for maintaining nui-

AN Australian paper announces that on
the plains of Northern Australia there are
vast herds of buflaloes, careering in wild
stanpcdes, and wallowing in shady pools,
but strange 10 say their existence is almost
unknown to australians who of course
will now proceed to exterminate them.
The animals are massive and heavy, with
splendid horns and afford sport of a sutli-
GENTLY dangerous nature to possess charms
for the most daring hunter, u wounded
buffalo being one of the most dangerous
animals known, his weight, prominent
horns, and splendid courage making him
as well respected as sought after. The irst
buffaloes werel landed in North Australia
about 1899, and a few that escaped into the
wilderness were the ancestors of these
wild herds. English writers who have
been taunting our government for permit
ting the extinction of the buffalo will now
have chance TO urge their own govern
ment to preserve the Australian variety.
THE tramps are said to have held q con
vention at Wilkesbarre on Saturday, bat
accounts of the gathering indicate that il
only happened that thirty-eight "knights OF
| the road" gathered for shelter in an old coal
breaker. The roll of delegates is pub
| lished and among them was j. &. Don
nelly, a coach trimmer, Of Lancaster. The
convention must have been "A fine bur
lesque of more learned and serious bodies,
but they grayely discussed the causes and
remedies of the tramp evil Delegates
variously answered the question 'why
am tramp" many of them blaming
whisky, but more frankly admitting a
strong dislike of work and fondness for
roaming. But when ono of the delegates
arose and remarked that ii must lie ac-
knowledged that the American tramp was
the outcome of strong drink and slothful-
ness he was furiously hissed and resolu-
tions were adopted blaming millionaires
grasping monopolies and improved ma
chinery II was also resolved that tramps
should stand together for their own pro-
lection. A minority of twelve voted that
the tramp had only himself to blame for his
misery.

Deafness Can't Be Cured

by local application, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infiamed con- dition of the mucus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucus surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that we cannot cure by talk ing Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

4 chiness |" Tea Party"
ExchAnRA.

The poor success of the British government In levying tax upon the tea of the Americans before the war of the revolution could hardly have been known to the government of the province of Hanchow, In China, or 1t may be that the Chinese authorities relied too implicitly upon the differ enoe between ChinAmen and Amer jeans. At all events the HAnchow government recently made an attempt to "raise the wind" in a way much like that employed by George tho Third, and with a somewhat similar result.
 The imperial government Of China, having found 1t necessary to relieve the sufferers by the dreadful famine prevailing in that county, called upon each Of the great provinces to furnish a specified sum of money.
 The governors of HAnchow, casting about for ways and means to raise the tax, hit upon what seemed to them to be the Attest way In the world.
 "Inasmuch as the tax is to relieve sufferers by famine," they said, "the people of Hanchow, who have no famine, must be very glad, as they sip their tea, to contribute, for every cup of the cheering beverage which heaven permits them to drink, a small sum to relieve their countrymen who have neither tea nor food with which their tea may be taken. We will raise the sum by a special tax on each cup of tea sold in the restaurants and public houses."
 The proposition seemed entirely reasonable But perhaps the tea drinkers of Hanchow thought that if this tax was once permitted to be laid 1t would never be taken of again.
 At any rate, the restaurant keepers and tea sellers in general held & meet ing, and resolved to close their places rather than pay the tea-tax. Some of them, however, broke the agreement and opened their shops; but the people showed that they were In sympathy with the rebellious tea sellers by gath ering in mobs and compelling the open shops to close.
 After this rising, not 6 drop of tea was to be found at any public house in all Hanchow. And the provincial government was confronted with the necessity of raising the tax in some other way.

There are but few women among the Italians who come through the depot, and as never saw one of them who had washed her face since she left home it's no wonder they don't indulge in much kissing. But the Irish like to kiss. None of your whispering kisses, either; it's noisy affair.

A LECTURE ON KISSING.
Kansas City Star.

khnsas Clty Slar.
 "There was a preacher back in my old town in Ohio, on the river, just across from Kentucky and West Virginia, who had married some 2,5O0 couples" remarked a white bearded passenger director at the Union depot. "Always, as soon as he had made a bride, he kissed her and invited every one present to do like wise. lived near him and used to witness as many weddings as possible. 1 was younger then than 1 am now.
 "What 1 was going to say, though" he continued, twas that although that old Baptist preacher saw good deal of osculation in his day, since have been in this depot 1 have seen more kissing, more kinds and styles of kisses, more unique and artistic kiss ing than that old divine ever dreamed of. There is more kissing in this depot every day than there ever was at an old-time candy pull. One would suppose that most people would hesitate to perform this little act of endearment in snch a public place, but never saw a woman who stood on ceremony in the matter, though Pve seen men look bored enough. You know the old ditty of: :
 "I saw Esau kissing Kate,
 The fact Is, we all three saw;
 l saw Esau, he saw me,
 And she saw 1 saw Esau.
 "You can bet that when Esau, he saw, he was more embarrassed than when Kate, she saw.
 "Some of the young fellows around the depot say it makes them sick to see so much kissing, but that's all bosh. like to watch them. There's more human nature in & kiss than there is in street car. Here you see all kinds: The kiss of parting and the kiss of greeting, the Kansas kiss, the pretty cousin kiss, the husband. and-wife kiss, baby kissing and all Then the emigrant room gives an op- portunity for the study of the kissing habit amoug all nationalities. Just now have occasion to observe 6 good many parting kisses, where 8 wife leaves grieving husband for a sum- mer trip. He always comes down to the train with her, loaded with bag gage and impatience. She invariably kisses him twice-once when just on the steps of the car, while he has his arms full of bundles; she turns to him with . quick fierce jerk and nys, sWell-good-byP and gives him
