La Grippel

The tendency OF this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for it's
cures of severe colds. This remedy
successfully counteracts the tendency of
the disease to result in pneumonia,
provided that proper care be taken to
avoid exposure when recovering from
the attack. Careful inquiry among the
many thousands who have used this
remedy during the epidemics of the
past two years has failed to discover a
single case that has not recovered or
that has resulted in pneumonia. Fifty

Tho nIozartinn system.

The all pervading principle of the Mo.
Zartian system was conciseness of con.
struction and an unmistakable geogra.
ply of tonality. Before Mozart, melodic
figures, subjects and keys, with all other
theoretical addenda at the disposal OF
the creative musician, were confused.
Mere bits of tune and jingle, with bril-.
liant passage here and there, constitute
movement, or even composition.
Haydn had brought much chaotic and
irregular theoretical lore into clear and
definite shape, but Mozart simplified
matters still more. Introducing the
keenest outlines, the most beautiful fig.
ures, together with clear and lucid
teachings, he defined the formal con.
struction Of the movement, section, re-
peat, ETC., until now the musician OF
student can set out with his principal
subject or theme, and having no misgiv-
ings concerning the dogmas Of subsidiary
subject. complimentary keys and the
like.
Schooled in Mozart's principles of con-
struction, the student could pilot him
self safely through the intricacies of the
most advanced symphony, and it is for
his labors and the pattern he set in this
direction that the world of music de.
lights to do honor to the name of Mozart.

An evening contemporary finds "relief
to the vulgarity of the announcement
that Nancy Hanks has out trctted all
the trotters of the land" in the fact that
the mare sis owned now by 8 Boston
man who is not responsible for her
name." It is hard to 800 where "vul-
garity" enters into the announcement of
the great achievement of the mare. The
original Nancy Hanks was brave and
good woman, and the mother Of presi-
dent. Her memory is revived by the
speed Of a good and brave mare. A
good woman is the noblest Of all crea-
lures, and next to her, in the estimation
of thousands, is good horse.
If the namesake of the western woman
were condemned to the dreary circle of
a brickyard or controlled in her mo-
tions by the bell of horse car, then
weuld there be the vulgarity that ap-
proaches ignominy, but to be thus hon-
ored in the history of trotting is a glory
that is not enhanced even by Boston
ownership. Boston Journal.

Testing Diamonds In INDIA.

The Hindoos distinguish diamonds nc

low are known as Kshatris, the dusky
as Vaishyas and the hawed stones as
Sudras. The diamond dealers are chiefly
Marwarees-a race who are the chief
bankers and money lenders in India.
These men are perfectly acquainted
with the phosphorescent and electric
qualities of the diamond, and they are
also aware of the extreme uniformity Of
its specific gravity.
A boiling solution of some salt of zinc,
called by the natives "Tutenagum bas.
PAM" which solution has n specific
gravity of 3.5, is used for the weight
test. Into this solution the stones sub.
mitted for examination are thrown.
Those that float are rejected as not be.

that the diamond has a specific gravity
of 3.52.

No Perfect Figures In Chicago.

Ii is reported that one of the artists
on the exhibition buildings is in a guam

He will not discover perfection in

to represent he ought to be able to de-

have called Creation" to distinguish 1t
from the more servile work of merely

Lighting the Bartholdi Statue.

II was always intended that the
statue of Liberty in New York harbor
should serve more than Il sentimental
purpose, and while being beacon of
liberty also be lighthouse of value to
mariners. For such n useful purpose.
however, the statue has been failure.
Some time ago Major Heap, of the
Engineer corps of the army, was asked
to design method by which the statue
could be properly lighted. and therefore
serve the utilitarian purpose as well as
the sentimental. Major Heap has just
reported to the lighthouse board, and
proposed that the present lights of about
2,000-candle power be so treated that
belt of flame shall be seen instead of
the small portion, as at present
"The effect desire to produce" says
Major Heap, "is powerful white light
in the focal plane, and beam of colored
light seen by reflection from the haze or
dust in the air, so that the general ap-
pearance shall be somewhat like u
flame" In the head of the statue, over
the forehead, is coronet consisting of
twenty-five windows. In front of each
window Major Heap proposes to place
two 1O0-candlc power incandescent
lamps, protected from the weather i'll
glazed lanterns, the backs Of which
shall be rehectors.
At present the statue, owing to its
dark color, is invisible at night rs the
reflected light from the lamps in the
salients of the fort is too feeble to be
seen at any distance. To partially over
come this Major Heap proposes to place
an arc light of 2,0O0-candle power un-
der the balcony of the torch, with re-
Hector throwing the light directly on the
head. This beam of light will be so
powerful and will be so near the head
that the latter will probably be visible
to vessels passing close to the statue

Many simple experiments show that
the surface of water possesses property
which causes it to resist the passage of
bodies either from above or below. This
is true not only of soapy water, but of
the clearest and purest water as we'll a
sheet of fine gauze tends to float, because
its weight being widely distributed each
of the numerous separate wires is re.
sisted by the surface film so that the
water cannot readily pass through the
meshes.
Insects and plants utilize this fact in
many interesting ways. Some water
plants, whose leaves float on the water,
have very simple contrivance to keep
the upper surfaces of the leaves dry.
This consists of great number of mi
mute hairs covering the tops of the
leaves. Water cannot penetrate among
these hairs even when the leaves are
forced down beneath the surface.
The little RATS of eggs that gnats sci
ailoat on the water are kept from sink
ing and from being upset through this
same principle. The tiny eggs hav,
their points all upward, and they arr
glued together so closely that, Will,
there is open space all around the poin
of each egg, yet the width of thes'
spaces is SO slight that water canno
readily pass through. You may agaii

ALBANY, N. Y, Sept. 27.-The case
against Charles F. Peck, State COM
missioner of statistics of labor, for the
production Of certain papers was heard
in the special term of the Supreme Court
this morning. Mr.. Peck submitted an
affidavit in which he states that the law
which authorized his appointment as
labor commissioner specified no details
for the performance of his duties and
therefore he followed the custom prevail
ing in other States of giving a pledge of
strictest secrecy as to the sources
of information furnished. Every time
he sent out circulars asking for informa-
tion he invariably gave pledges of secrecy
to his correspondents. Only in this way
was it possible to obtain trustworthy in
formation. He states that the attempt
made to establish the theory that his
recent report was given out to influence
the pending election is false, as the COM
pilations were all made before any demo-
cratic nomination was made. He holds
that the data upon which he compiled
his report is not the property of the
State, and, that if it were published it
might be injurious to those who furnish
ed it. After some argument Judge
Mayhan ordered the case to be heard in
October before Judge Wood in special
! term.
