AN event of great interest to astrono-
nlers, the disappearance of Saturn's
rings, will take place in this year On
September % the plane of the rings
will pass through the earth. At that
time the observer on the earth will
look at them edgewise, and in pow
erful telescopes they will appear as a
straight line Of light. Between Sept.
% and Oct. 80 they will almost
entirely disappear, inasmuch as the
sun and the earth will be on oppo-
cite sides of the plane of the rings.
After Oct. 80 they will reappear, the
sun again shining on the same side pre-
sented to the earth.

1r is on record in medical literature
that in the year 1881 poor old man,
residing at Tarentum. near Naples, was
the subject of marvellous change when
at the age of nearly ninety years His
skin peeled off and new and soft skin
supplied it's place; his muscles again
became strong and plump; the wrinkles
disappeared from his face and the white
hairs from his head; black, curly hair
grew on his head again, and his COM
Plexion became fresh and youthful.
Sixty years later he again became de-
crepit with a second old age and died
after passing his one hundredth and six
tieth wear.

Il BELIEVE" said DR.. James E. Sui
livan, of st. Louis, "that in time a
chemical food will be invented or dis
covered upon which the human race
will subsist. 1t has been demonstrated
that cleaner and purer article of food
can be made from chemicals than the
average varieties now in use, and it is
my opinion that a perfect food, such as
milk is to an infant, will be produced
at some time, and that all natural foods
will be considered superfluous."
