The Volume Of Niap.r..

The amount of water passing over
Niagara falls must, of course, vary
with the season. Prof. w. D. Cunning,
who has spent much time and labor in
making careful estimates, says that
the average amount which tumbles
over the great cataract for every minute
day and night, year in and year out, -
is 100000 cubic feet. Allowing 62L
pounds to the cubic foot, this would
give total of 500, 500 tons of water
per minute. About two-thirds of the
whole passes over that portion known
as the Horseshoe falls. Prof. r. w.
Thornton's estimates put it at 1OO,-
600. 900 tons per hour for both falls.

Phytoline for Obesity.

An excessive amount of fat, says DR..
/. N. Love, Md, of st. Louis, is not
only unsightly. but is unhealthy; in
fact, as an evidence favoring the
thought that fat is low grade tissue,
we speak of other tissues degenerating
into fat. Certainly, the tendency to-
ward the accumulation of an extra, un-
necessary amount of fat favors dam
gerous fatty degeneration of the heart
and the tissues forming other impor-
tant organs. The proper selection of
diet, with exercise, can do much to-
ward the diminishment of fat; but the
profession and the laity have long
looked for some remedy which could be
depended upon to assist toward the
contamination devoutly to be wished.
In phytoline we have such a remedy.

mestic animals, it is very evident that
any project that teHds to discourage

respect. DR.. Lamborn has offered a
prize for the best method of waging
war upon the mosquito by aid of the

is to be feared only in the absence of
larger game. It is commonly supposed
that the DEVILS darning-needle will

people draw back when it stops sud-

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, BY moro promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup Of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in 60c and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,

FLUIDS WITH MEALS.
The Use of Water and Other Liquids Il
Not Always Harmful.

The Use of Water and other Liquids II
Not Always Harmful.
The arguments presented by many
writer's seem to prove that the mod
crate taking of fluids with the food at
meals Is not without benefit. But,
says the Youths Companion, the i'm
portance OF the thorough mastication
of food before it is presented to the
stomach must never be overlooked. If
this is interfered with in any way by
the use of liquids we must promptly
prohibit their indulgence
Fluids may be taken ad Ebitum dur
ing meals by those whose digestive
powers will allow it, but such persons
should keep in mind that the strongest
stomach may be abused too far, while
those whose stomachs are already un-
equal to a severe strain should be es-
pecially careful as to the quantity of
fluid imbibed with the food
The saliva is the best lubricator for
the food while it is in the mouth, both
because of its starch-iigesting powers
and because its albalinity serves to
stimulate copious flow of the acid Sc
erection of the stomach.
Any habit, therefore, which permits
the entrance of food into the stomach
before it is thoroughly incorporated
with saliva must be pronounced per-
niciouS in the extreme.
IT we cannot afford the time neces
sary for masticating our food properly
and Incorporating it thoroughly with
saliva it would be better to take moth.
ing but broths and similar foods. Tho
use of water and other liquids as lubri.
Gators is not to be tolerated
On the other hand, if we bear in
mind the whole mechanism of diges-
ton it will readily be seen that ia
cases of weakness or want of tone on
the part of the muscles of the stomach
when every part of the food cannot be
properly presented to the action of the
digestive juices, the introduction into
the stomach of a moderate amount of ]
water may be of no slight benefit. The
mass of food will become more pliable,
and SO more easily operated upon by
the weakened muscles.

Housekeepers family realize thu
danger of an indiscriminate use Of til.
numerous baking powders nowadays
found upon every hand, and which are
urged upon consumers with such per
sistency by peddlers and many grocerl
on account of the big profits made in
their sale. Most of these powders are
made from sharp and caustic acids and
alkalies which burn and inflame the
alimentary organs and cause indiges.
ton, heartburn, diarrhoeal diseases,
etc. Sulphuric acid, caustic potash,
burnt alum, all are used as gas-produc-
ing agents in such baking powders.
Most housekeepcrs are aware of the
painful effects produced when these
chemicals are applied to the external
flesh. How much more acute must be
their action upon the delicate internal
membranes! Yet INSCRIPTIONS manu-
facturers do not hesitate to use them,
because they make a very low-cost
powder, nor to urge the use of their
powders so made, by all kinds of aliur-
ing advertisements and false repre-
sensations. ALI the low-priced or So
called cheap baking powders, and oil
powders sold with gift or prize, be-
long to this class.
Baking powders made from chemical
ly pure cream of tartar and bi-carbon-
ate of soda are among the most useful
of modern culinary devices They not
only make the preparation Of finer and
more delicious cookery possible, but
they have added to the digestibility
and wholesomeness Of our food. But
baking powders must be composed of
such pure and wholesome Ingredients
or they must be tabooed entirely.
DIR. Edison, Commissioner of Health
of New York, in an article in the doc
tor of Hygiene" indicates that the ad-
vantages of good baking powder and
the exemption from the dangers Of
bad ones in which the harsh and caus-
tic chemicals are used, are to be Sc
cured by the use of Royal Baking
Powder exclusively, and he recon-
mends this to all consumers. 1.-THE
Royal" he says, contains nothing but
cream of tartar and soda refined to
chemical purity, which when combined

ture produce pure carbonic, or leaven-
ing, gas. The two materials used,
cream of tartar and soda, are perfectly
harmless even when eaten, but in this
preparation they are combined in ex-
act compromising weights, so that
when chemical action begins between
them in the dough they practically dis
appear, the substance of both having
been taken to form carbonic acid gas"
Hence it is, he says, that the Royal
Baking Powder is the most perfect of
all conceivable agents for leavening
purposes.
1t seems almost Incredible that any
or dealer should urge
the sale of baking powders containing
injurious chemicals in place of those

SAMPLES OF TELACToeRAPH WRITING.
speech at distance, and, although his
efforts at that time were mainly di-
rected to establishing the fact that the
feat was possible, it is now known
that there are theoretically no limits
to the distance to which articulate
sounds can be transmitted. The Worlds
Columbian exposition is not behind
hand in its showing of new uses for
the subtle fluid and Prof Elisha Gray's
telautograph creates greater amount
OF interest, perhaps, than any other
feature at the great fair.
Situated in the west gallery of Elec-
tricity building, near one of the grand
staircases, is handsomely decorated
structure in blue and silver, and there
in is exhibited this latest invention of
one of the most fertile minds of Amer
lean inventors. From the DAYS of
Morse, who in 1887 showed an instru-
ment which would write in ink GER
tain arbitrary signals sent by wire
from distance by means of electric
ity, the development of the telegraph
has been steady, and Prof. Gray has,
more, perhaps, than any other man,
been one of the most prolific inventors
along that line. The telautograph,
his latest invention, is an instrument
which will. at any distance transmit
accurately and to the smallest detail
in exact facsimile anything that may
be written or drawn on the transmit
ting device. Two instruments are
used, one to transmit and one to
record. Both are nearly identical in
form, size and general arrangement,
and each carries a wide strip of paper
controlled by synchronizing device
which causes the one to follow the
movements of the other. On the
transmitter anything can be written |
or drawn and the recording stylus of |
the receiving instrument follows the !
movements of the transmitting STYLUS
or pencil and thus produces an exact !
facsimile of the wyiting or draw
ing. The Importance of this inven-
ton cannot be overestimated. 1t may
not, perhaps, supersede the telephone
or the telegraph, but it will take place I
alongside of them and like both create
new uses for itself that were never an
ticipated. The newspaper man at q
distance can send his copy direct to
the Office and it will be received in his
exact handwriting, exactly as if he
were present Diagrams and sketches
to illustrate the mater can be sent in
simultaneously, thus opening new
field in newspaper practice. The fac
tory owner can transmit orders from
his Office and if needs be illustrate his
ideas. There can be no misunder-
no confusion Of spoken
words. The order is written by the
sender and he can rest assured that it
IS reproduced exactly at the recording
instrument. A telegram might become
confused in transit. Spoken words
over a telephone might be misunder-
stood. A business man in one city can
ign check in another city and his sig
nature will be as exact as if the slip of
PAPER were under his own hand. Taken
altogether the telautograph is dis
met and valuable addition to the list

which will rapidly assume it's place in
