structive genius 10 the solution of the
problems of modern civilization. It
drives the machinery of mine, mill and
workshop; it transports him and his
possessions across the continents and
over the seas; it gives life to the whole

Light, heat and electricity, all the

arms length or miles away, in the
extension of its powers to near and
distant fields of labor alike.
In performing the work of modern
civilization man has compelled the
service Of over so, 900, 900 horse power
of steam giants, equivalent to more
than 75,0C0,000 horses of average
power, for the rated horse power of

This is the equivalent of the steady

Pine.Beetle ExtermihatOrs.

Some time since the Parkersburg
Sun published an account of the de-
struction of thousands of acres of pine
and hemlock timber in the mountains
of West Virginia and Mary land by a
species of beetles unknown to science.
Millions of dollars worth of fine tim
ber had already been destroyed, and
the depredations OF the beetles still
continued, threatening the total de-
struciion of all the pine, spruce, and
hemlock timber in the Aleghanies;
and the entomologists OF the expert
ment station were at loss for rem
edy. Since then much money has
been spent A committee of scientists
were to be sent to Europe in search of
a remedy, and dozen theories had
been put into practical use without
avail 1t is now believed that rem
edy, and very simple but thorough
one, has been found, and that by the
merest accident. A few days ago
flight of hordes of the pine beetles left
some destroyed forest, and alighted
around and over Fairmont in the
clouds. The people in the town and
neighborhood could do nothing with
the host, and it looked as if they
would eat up and destroy everything.
but the flocks of English sparrows
about the town and vicinity, which
had withstood the shotguns and abuse
of every man and boy there, descended
upon the swarms and killed and ate
them by thousands. The capacity of
the birds was wonderful, and they
soon thinned out the pests. No one had
ever thought of the English sparrow
in the light of public bcnefactor be-
fore, and now everybody in that local
ity is enthusiastic in the opinion that
the sparrows are the remedy for the
pine pests, and it is thought that the
birds can be taken into the mountains
and turned loose in the pine forests,
where they will destroy the beetles.
The experiment will probably be tried
on an extensive scale soon.-[N New
York Witness.

Plantation of the Heart.

| By palpitation of the heart is meant
the sensation either of irregularity in
heart action or of rapidity of heart
beats. The person who experiences
it is usually alarmed by the symptom,
and calls in the doctor.
But in most cases of this sort which
are brought to his attention, the
physician finds nothing out of the way
with the heart, and hence of danger to
the individual. The cause of the sem
sation is elsewhere. In tho majority
Of instances the real trouble is indi-
gestion.
In most all cases of actual heart
disease no intimation of it is trans
mitted to the patient by any irregu-
larity or like sensation of heart
rhythm.
AS symptom, palpitation is valuable
to the physician in that it directs the
attention of the patient to the heart,
An unusual sensation in this region
usually leads one to consult his ply
sician at once. Symptoms felt in
other parts of the body usually wait
for "the more convenient season."
Doctor Austin Flint was once sum-
moned to attend young lady dying OF
heart disease. The family Informed
him that his presence was wanted
merely to satisfy the lady's friends,
since they all understood the fatal
nature of her malady.
The patient lay in room from
which not only light but everything
that might lead to the slightest nervous
excitement was excluded. 1t was sug-
oested to the docton that an examina-
tion of the chest be omitted, and that
all communication with the patient
should take place through friend,
lest the exertion should result in i'm
mediate dissolution.
To this the doctor objected. When
admitted 10 her presence, ne found
that she answered his questions in
whispered monotones. Examination
of the chest showed that there was no
disease, and consequently no danger
The story was told to illustrate the inn
yortance of thorough examination be-
fore deciding Oh an opinion.
Palpitation does, however undoubt'
edy occur in cases of real disease, and
whenever it occurs its cause should DC
found out and remedied.
Among the common causes Oh pa'-
nitatiou are to be numbered the excess
siye use of tobacco, tea, coffee, aico-
hoI. or of certain drugs, hysteria,
excessive exertion, hunger, privatlon,
fatigue, fright. or loss OF Sleep ana
excuses of any kind. --[Youth's Com

The Improvements which have

application 10 their promotion OF more

Valuable Advice.

Everyone should know that it is
dangerous TO ask doctors or a law
yer's advice even in the most casual
and public manner, unless one expects
to pay him for it, There is well
authenticated story of man in New
York who chnnced to remark to ID Gel
ebrated physician once:
"Doctor, have you any sure means
OF preventing seasickness"
Certainly" said the doctor.
"What is it?'
"Stay on Shore" said the physician,
and sent the man his bill.
Another gentleman, who was a
valetudnarian, met doctor of his
acquaintance on the street one day.
Doctor" said he, "Tm glad | met
you. Do you know, Pm so weak that
the least bit of walking on these pave
nents tires me all out. What do you
think I'd better take?'
