The original discoverer Of New zea-

A remarkable application has been
made-by DIR. J. Mount Bleyer In a case
Of membranous Group intubation was
successfully resorted TO. When the re-
moyal Of the tube became necessary it
bad disappeared. Tracheotomy would
evidently have to be performed, but the
difficulty was TO locate the tube. A del
icate metallic probe attached to an cleo
tric wire, the other end of which termi-
mated in a telephone receiver, was passed
down through the larynx As soon as it
came in contact with the tube a distinct
click was communicated to the ear
through the receiver The exact loca.
ton having thus been determined, trache,
otomy was performed and the tube ex-
tracted. New York Telegram.

One Of the leading residents at Raincy,
in the department Of Seine-et- Disc, was
the Widow Tardiveau, wealthy, fat, fair
and forty. Among her special favorites
was young Raoul Gaullin. He was not
anamored of the widow, but found it
profitable to allow her TO suppose that he
was. In time she set him up in bust
ness. Raoul fell in love with Rosalie
Bertol, and an engagement and be-
trqthal soon took place. The widow at
6rst was furious, but by degrees she
grew more calm and then professed her
lelf heartbroken. She soon fell into q
decline and died Of rapid consumption
after brief illness.
On her deathbed Mime. Tardiveau
granted full and free pardon to the
two aInorous young people, and in her
will left the prospective bride a small
gift of money, accompanied by pint of
rare old Malaga, with yellow seal
The bottle was not TO be opened until
the wedding day, when it was to be
drank to the memory Of the dear de-
parted.
During the joyous festivities, and at
the end of the supper, the wine was ur-
corked, and the bride and groom, to-
gether with the best man, drank the
contents. lin second they had fallen

The teak, which has passed into PROV
erb as the best material for shipbuild-
ing, is superior to all other woods from
the fact that it contains an essential oil
which prevents spikes and nails driven
into it from rusting. This property is
not possessed by any other wood In the
world, and furnishes an explanation of
the fact that ships built Of teak are
practically indestructible. Some have
been known to last for $50 years, and
when broken up their beams were as
sound as when first put ether.-Phil

Of the Amazon, but the habit Of the

right at the seat of difficulty, is accom-
plished by the sure and steady aim OF
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. Don't
fool around with a pop-gun, nor a
Flint-lOck," when this reliable "Win-
chester" Is within reach!
DIR. Sage's treatment of Catalrh in the
Head is far superior 10 the ordinary, aud
when directions are reasonably well
followed, results In a permanent cure.
Don't longer be Indifferent to the veri-
fled claims of this unfailing Remedy.
The worst forms of Catarrh disap-
pear with the use Of DIR. Sage's Gatarrh
Remedy. Its mild, soothing, cleansing
and healing properties effect a perfect
and permanent cure, no matter how bad
the case, or of how long standing. It's
remedy that succeeds where every
thing else has failed. Thousands OF
such cases can be pointed out. That's
the reason Its makers back their faith In
It with money. They offer $500 reward
for case of Catarrh which they can
not cure.
Its a medicine that allows them to
take such risk.
Doesn't common sense lead YOU to
take such a medicine?
An advertising fake YOU say.
Funny, isn't II, how some people pre-
fer sickness to health when the remedy
Is positive and the guarantee absolute.
Wise men don't put money back Of
fakes" And taking doesn't pay.

Suspension bridges which were built
in the time of the Han dynasty (202 b.
g. to 100 A. d. are still standing, strik-
ing examples Of oriental engineering
skill. According TO historical and geo
graphical writers of China it was Shang
Lieng. Kaen Tsu's chief of command,
who undertook to construct the first
public roads in the Flowery Empire. At
that time it was almost impossible for
the province of Shense to communicate
with the capital. Lieng took an army
Of II, 600 workmen and cut great gorges
through the mountains, filling up the
canyons and valleys with the debris
from his excavations. At places where
deep gorges We're traversed by large
and rapidly flowing streams he actually
carried out his plan of throwing suspen-
sion bridges, stretching from Une slope
20 the other.
These crossings, appropriately styled
flying bridges" by early Chinese writ
srs, are high and dangerous looking in
he extreme. AT the lResent day bridge
may still be seen in the Shense which is
400 feet long and is stretched over a
chasm more than 900 feet deep. How
those early engineers erected such a
structure with the tools and appliances
at their command is a mystery which
will probably never be exp'qined.-St
