The first almanacs were of Arabian
origin, and reflected the logical genius Of
the people in a very striking way. They
served in other countries for hundreds OF
years. The oldest known copy Of such
work Is preserved in the British museum
and dates back Ia the time of Ramcscs
the Great Of Egypt. who lived LOO years
before the birth of Christ. II is written
on papyrus in red ink, and covers "a
period of six years. The entries relate To
religious ceremonies, To the fates of chill
drcn born on given days and Ia the regn-
lation Of business enterprises in accord
ance with planetary influences. ID

warnings. 'If thou sccst anything at all
this day il will be fortune is another
entry. Look not at rat
this day. and 800 not out before daylight
this day." are some of the additional eau
tions. This almanac was found in an old
tomb and is supposed Ia have been buried
with its Egyptian ownor when he was
converted into "a mummy FOR future eN-

Very Few Years.
From the Electrical World.
The electrician who knows the tbcorct-
ical part of his science only as he studied
II Ave or ten years ago, finds his knowl-
edge sadly Mt fault when he Is confronted
with the ideas and theories of to-day. Not
that AM great and radical changes have
revolutionizcd electrical theories In these
last few years. but there have been great
additions TO our knowledge Of certain &C.
cult phenomena, and the theory has adj
vanced correspondingly. We were accus-
toned To look at the electric current as
something that flowed in Or along a wire,
and too many students grew to think Of
Il almost as a fluid. To those wont
To depend slavishly Oh hydro-tlynamicana-
logies il Is rather a rude shock to realize
that In very many cases we Mould pay
less attention to electric disturbances IN
the conductor than To the extraordinary
pulsations of energy that surround Il. We
must to-day think Of a wire carrying "a
current not as "A tube In hich n certain
mysterious How is taking place, but as q
mere linear nucleus along and around
which there IL a ceaseless How of energy
capable Of producing tremendous effects
even far away from the wire. We must
think of the conductor not as a thin line
Of wire, but as the center of IA ~far-rcacll-
ing clcctro-dynamic disturbance.
To take an extreme case, an alternating
current of very short period, capable OF
producing enormous inductivc effects
and transferring immense mechanical
power. might penetrate Ia accompany
ing conductor hardly more than skin
deep. What would go on within the wire
we might almost neglect-it would DE
only as we neared u passed its surface
that electrical energy would manifest IT.

THE FLOWERS THAT BLOOM

In the Spring, fragrant and fresh in their
vernal beauty, are welcome indeed after
Winters long and cherries reign. The
birds also, with their merry roundelays,
balmy breezes, the running brooks, and
the far reaching meadows robed in velvet
crcen-all these charm every sense and
fiji the soul with gladness. But there Is
something that is more welcome ID
Spring than flowers and birds and bree-
zes, running brooks and meadows green,
and that is medicine that will gently
purge and cleanse the blood OF the fatty
and noxious impurities that have collect
ed in it during the Winter, and leave 1T
