whom, however, must ride backward.
The design seems to be to save the ex'
pense of an extra carriage, at the same
time encouraging soeiability on the part
of those performing the laat sad offices.
And, as if this was not enough, a
fourth inventor has obtained letters on
what he calls "a funeral carriage" He
carries the coffin and the bearers, and If
there are not too many mourners he &C
commodities the whole procession with
one vehicle The funeral carriage is
built like an omnibus, with compart-
ment on top for the coffin. The inven-
tor provides skids, an endless chain, and
a pulley for running the coffin up into
the place intended for it over the heads
of the bearers.

"The Seven League Boots" Well, the
patent Office has just granted papers to a
Russian upon device which is q comb
nation of the hitherto deemed impossible
boot strap act, with little of the seven
league business added. The Russian lives
in St. Petersburg. He calls his invention
an apparatus for walking, running and
Jumping" The apparatus consists OF
bows aud springs fastened to the feet, the
legs, the waist and shoulders. AS the
knees are bent either to walk or run or
Jump, the tension of the bows and springs
is increased, and the man shoots upward
and forward. At least that is what the
drawings and specifications of the inven.
tion say will happen. The Russian did
not send over any actual samples OF his
contriyance, and the patent Office people
have to act upon theory only.

A Cold Wave Factory.

There is no reason in the world why
our large cities should suffer from hot
weather. The production of cold waves
is mere question of expense. As soon
as cities are ready to pay for cool weather
they will enjoy it all summer.
We learn from the Washington Post
that some Philadelphia capitalists propose
to supply cities with cold air during the
summer months. Their device is based
upon the same principle by which steam
is furnished for winter use. Pipes coated
with some non conducting substance will
be laid deep in the ground, and the rare
fled air will be forced through from the
central supply factory.
The chemists say that the scheme IS
feasible if the pipes can be made sufti-
ciently non conducting to maintain the
proper low temperature. The Philadel-
phians are confident that they surmount
every difficulty, and if they are not mis-.
taken they will inaugurate a new era tor
our hot towns.
It will be great convenience to have
things fixed so that man can turn fau
Get and have cold wave running through
his house on hot night. Possibly it vii!
be expensive, but the raw material and
the chemicals are cheap, and the first cost
of the franchise and the conductors will
probably be the greatest cost.
There is nothing extraordinary difficult
in the way of the enterprise. In fact, ihe
invention has been tried many times on
small scale with gratifying success. As
we said before, it is merely a question oi
expense When we are ready to foot the
bill, heat and cold will be matter of To-
cal option. -.itlanta Constitution.

On Friday night, 18th inst, we had tue
pleasure of attending the closing exer.
cises of Miss Zella Campbells school at
Eureka. The occasion was an exceed
ingly pleasant one, and the crowded
house enjoyed it immensely. Miss Zella
has reason to be proud Of the manner in
which her pupils acquitted themselves,
and she has further reason to copgratu-
late herself on the fact that about forty
pupils continued in the school until the
closing day. This school has become
fixture, a necessity in that community,
and the people there show the apprecia-
tion in which the teacher is held by the
generous support extended TO her, and it
is to be hoped that she will continue at
this place, for having had several years
experience she will teach better as the
years 60 by.

The Grip Vas Deadly.

1t was not generally known that the
recent epidemic, the grip, was more
deadly than visitation Of cholera.
There were none Of the Accomplishments
of the Asiatic scourge, but the effect Of
the influenza WAS sufficiently haressing,
when viewed in the past. The figures
gathered from twenty.nine life insurance
companies, giving comparisons OF death
losses in the first quarters of 1890 and
1889, show an increase Of 1901 900, COO in
the amount of insurance, of s., 100000
in death losses. Of this latter increase
81 ,G9l, ,49G was directly attributable to
pneumonia and bronchitis, growing out Of
acute attacks of grip. The showing BY
percentage gathered by comparison of the
business of these quarters is: Gain in
amount of insurance, 13 in death loss,
%; in death loss through pneumonia aud
bronchitis, l46
Statistics thus gathered necessarily
leave out of accounts deaths among unin'
sured. The insured were reasonably ro-
bust, as is evidenced by their acceptance
as risks. The Boston AdreriSer asks, II
the strong were thus cut down what must
have been the mortality among the weak?
The seriousness Of this epidemic does not
seem to have been sufficiently realized.
Fortunately 30 perhaps, or panic, itself an
effective agent of death, might have been
clused, such panic, as generally occurs
during m epidemic of the less deadly

II. EXPERIMENTS.

When readings will fail to gain punctu.
ality in attendance an experiment or two
directly after the bell rings, will soon
cause every child to be found in his seat
with open eyes and ears, all attention
aud expectation.
Examples i'll chemistry.-u) Take a
piece of PHOSPHORUS the size of a pea,
carefully dry it by placing in between
folds of paper, sprinkle upon il few
drop of iodine; a burst Of flame is the
result ~ Instead of phosphorus, use
dry, powdered charcoal; result the same.
(3) With the PHOSPHORUS take crystal
of chlorate of potash, wrap in bit of
paper, strike at arms length with ham.
mer; violent explosion is the result.
az In the bottom Of glass of water
place bit of phosphorus; on the phos
phorus sprinkle several crystals chlorate
OF potash. then carefully pour through a
glass tube small quantity of sulphuric
acid result, flashes ofHyht IN the acatcr.
~ Upon equal quantities of sugar and
chlorate Of potash: powered together,
pour little sulpburic acid; result, igni.
ton. (6) By pouring sulphuric acid
upon two or three spoonful's of powdered
bleaching powder placed in q large
mouthed bottle, chlorine gas will be
evolved; and while it is generating many
experiments may be performed; for
instance, strip Of paper dipped in tur
pentine ignites; or q copper wire prcvi
ously heated, or powdered antimony, if
introduced, will ignite. It will be quite
as easy to prepare other gases for expert
ment; such as, oxygen, hydrogen, nitro.
gen, &c.
Many experiments i'll philosophy
could be given. We mention one or
two: ~ White piece of wood into
the shape of two cones placed base to
base. Take two pencils or sticks of
exactly the same shape and length, put
their ends near together on the floor; by
putting the piece Of wood on the pencils
near the floor, it will roll up hill. (2)
An empty egg-shell with a small quan
tity of lead poured into it, may cause the
egg to stand On end (3) Sticks OF corn.
stalk or elder pith, By the same means,
will not lie down but insist on standing
upright. (4) Paper hops, egg shells,
&C., will follow gutta-percha comb
which has been electrified by running
through the hair.
We cannot longer dwell upon this
subject; but let US say that the chemiclls Is
and materials for all these experiments,
as we'll as for hundreds more, need not
cost the teacher over FIVE dollars.

Deafness Can't be Cured

by local applications, 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 inilamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Euitachian Tube.
When this tube gets inllamed you have q
rumbliDg sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it 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 dc.
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
IN inllamed condition of the mucous sur.
