Did you ever have wart on your
fingers and spend time aud energy and
money too, for that matter, in the vain
effort to get rid of it1 Did you burn
yourself with caustic, stab yourself with
needles and anoint yourself copiously
with that sticky, gummy miIkweed
juice, only to find the wart harder and
blacker and more aggressive than ever3
Now suppose you try amounting them
copiousIy with oil of cinnamon' It's
easier and cleaner and less objectionable
generally than any of the other remedies
and will simply make them disappear;
and what is more it will prevent their
coming back, which is greatly to the

The pressure that can be produced by
electrolytic generation Of gas in closet
space has recently been tested by
French scientist. The highest pressure
heretofore realized was $50 pounds to
the square inch. In this instance the
pressure obtained was between $1,000
and IS, 900 to the square inch, when the
manometer cracked without any explo-
sion. The liquid used was twenty-five
per cent. solution of soda. The cleo
trodes were of iron, aud the current ] ]
amperes.
