HEAT AND LIFE.
The Application of Thermo Dyuami,
Laws to Physical Growth.

The Application OF Thermo Dyuami,
Laws to Physical Growth.
We often speak of our bodies as ma
chimes or engines working upon prin-
ciples similar to those employed in me-
chanics. The idea that the food we eat
resembles In it's action the fuel supplied
to furnace is familiar, and yet one
can hardly avoid little start Of surprise
upon finding the laws of heat engines So
berly applied to explain the growth Of
plant and animal life.
This has recently been done. says the
Youths Companion, by Mr.. ]. Parker
before the Philosophical society In Lon
don. He points out, for instance, that
the increase of available energy result
ing from the building up Of plant out
of inorganic materials can only be ex-
planned. in accordance with thermo-
dynamic laws, by differences Of temper
ature during the growth of the plant,
and his calculations show that the diff
ference between day and night is quite
sufficient to account for the differences
of temperature required.
Similar principles apply to the growth
Of animals. Nature gives nothing for
nothing, and demands an exact equiva-
lent for every expenditure Of her ener-
giles, whether she is aiding man to drive
an engine, causing an oak 10 grow, or
building up the muscles of an athlete
or the brain Of philosopher. And as
far as her work upon our planet Is con-
cerned, the source of her supplies In all
these cases Is the sun.

The skin OF Fer shoulders Bequesthed
to Flammarion.

The skin of Her shoulders Bequesthed
to Flammarion.
Camille Flammarion, the well-known
astronomer, was some years ago a
guest at the country seat Of certain
count and countess. The countess is
of foreign origin and her husbands
seat is in the department of the Jura.
She was dying with consumption and
became deeply impressed with Flam-
marion's accounts of his scientific
flights to sidereal regions. She became
imbued with his theory of the plurality
of the inhabitable worlds. This en-
abled her to await the inevitable end
of her disease with calm resignation,
perhaps with the hope that death
might only prove translation to Mars
or some other planet of the celestial
world.
In due time Flammarion's visit came
to an end. He returned to his observa-
tory and forgot N the absorption of his
astronomical studies all about his
hostess at the chateau among the
mountains of Jura. Some time ago
package arrived at the observatory. ac-
companied by letter in a black-edged
envelope The packet and letter were
received by Mime. Flammarion who, on
examining the contents. found that the
package contained large piece OF
white skin, very thick and cold to the
touch. The letter, which was in French,
read as follows:
DEAR MAsTER:-I am fulfilling the last wish
OF one who bore q strange love for you. She

evening OF your departure 1t was her desire
that you should have bound in this skin thu

after her death. transmit to you. dear mas
ter. this relic. as took my oath that / would.
This letter was signed by a we'll
known medical practitioner OF Jura.
.'As matter of fact, said Flammarion,
II had admired the beautiful shoulders
of the countess the evening I last saw
her, and when she was in decollete

the strange legacy? l was tempted to

A Newspaper Man,
Connected With the Great
Paper, the Albany Express,
Makes Statement Which the People
Should Know and Understand.
They will Interest Not Only the Newspaper
Fraternity but Everybody.

The popular and we'll known Thomas
A. Lindsay, who is connected with Al
bany's IN. " leading morning paper,
the Albany Express, makes an interesting
revelation.
Everybody connected with the news
paper has known of the facts for some
time, and can vouch for their truth in
every particular.
"For many years." said Mr.. Lindsay,
81 have been subject to severe spells of
headache and nervousness, at times al
most enough to drive a man to insanity
from pain, loss of sleep, &c.
Medicines, narcotics. patent and pre-
scribed, did not give relief, and the
sllment increased continually Having
read in the Albany Morning Express at
different times the advertisements of
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve
remedy, concluded to try this remedy,
and after the use of six or seven bottles
found not only relief. but almost a radical
cure.
1.-THE headaches are thing of the past,
while the terrible nervous spells have
gradually become less and less, until now
l have little or none of them left, and my
sleep is natural and refreshing
81 do not hesitate in saying that this
remarkable change is entirely due to DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy, and heartily recommend it for all
ments like my own, no matter the cause
of them"
1t is fact that our great business and
professional men are fast finding out the
wonderful invigorating and strengthening
powers of this most valuable discovery,
DIR. Greenes Nervura blood and nerve
remedy. 1t is the medicine for the weak
and nervous. 1t restores health to the
sick.
It's remarkable cure of Mr.. Lindsay,
after everything else had failed, makes
another conspicuous person restored to
health by its use to add to the long and
constantly increasing list of prominent
and well known people, who are ala
most daily publishing in the newspapers
statements of their cures by this grand
medicine.
Ii is beyond all question the greatest
curer of disease known at the present
day, and is the very best spring medi-
cine for blood and nerves. Everybody
needs spring medicine, and this is just
the remedy to take. 1t is purely vegeta-
BILE and harmless, and is sold by druggists
for 81.
This great remedy is the discovery and
prescription of the famous physician, DR..
Greene. 35 West Fourteenth Street. New
York, who is the most successful special
list in curing nervous and chronic diseases
in this country. We would add that the
doctor can be consulted free, personally
or by letter.

All land that has no sand or gravel
should be under-drained.
The first thing in drainage Is good

If the ground is rather fat, with lit
tie fall, cut the bitches from fifty to
seventy-f1ve feet apart, with not less

inches deep; then I'll the remainder in

horses or cattle to tramp In it when
fresh filed in or ground is wet.
On rolling land tile drains need not
be so close together, but it is necessary
to put them where the surface water
mostly stands; but do not put them
more than three feet under ground for
quick service, unless In places through
high ground, where 1t Is unavoidable
The size Of tile should vary with the
amount of water and the distance Of
drains apart For fat ground, fifty
feet apart and forty rods long. with
one inch fall to one hundred feet

thirty-five rods, and the remainder

In bitches of shorter distance three or
three and half inch is large enough,
according to the water they have to
carry; for branches from ten to twenty
rods a three-inch tile makes . good

The advantages of tile draining are
many. Flowing may be done from

tile-drained land is half manured. Al
though open bitches do good service
where tile bitches cannot be made,
their disadvantages are great, with
tile drains the water will soon disap-
pear from the surface after q rain,
while with an open ditch it will stand
outside of bank for several days; you
can farm and raise the best crops over
tile drains, while an open ditch is
waste land for weeds to grow on; you
never need to clean tile drain, If
properly put in; you must clean out an
open ditch every two or three years;
your open bitches harbor vermin, such
as muskrats and the mink, who dig
holes along the bank for horses and
cattle to step in and break their legs;
your tile ditch will not harbor any
thing and gives you no trouble If you
have a screen over the outlet-C. L.
