He worked the Aurora Borealis

George Bartlett Prescott was one
of the pioneers of the science of cleo
tricity in America. He began the
study of electricity in 1916, when he
was 16. With Edison, he owned all
the patents in the quadruplex system
both in this country and in Great
Britain. He introduced the duplex
system in 1876 and the quadruplex
two years later. Prescott made GER
tain that the aurora borealis was an
electrical display, and while in the
Boston office on one occasion he dis
connected the batteries and operated
the wires with the atmospheric cleo
tricity.-Philadelphia Times.

DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT.
Famous Mechanical Devices which Were
Stumbled on by Inventors.

Famous Mechanical Devices which Were
Stumbled on by Inventors.
1t is curious the way that some of
our most useful appliances were in
vented or discovered. We are told
that some Venetian mariners built a
fire on a beach where there was sand
mixed with soda, and that they were
surprised to find that the sand melt
ed and formed a transformed compo-
sition. Some rejecting man was in
the party and by this accidental
melting of the sand discovered how
to make glass.
Years after this the children be-
longing to Dutch spectacle maker
were playing with the glasses which
their father used, and they made the
discovery that by putting one glass
in front of the other they could make
the steeple of a neigh boring church
appear nearer. Their father had
sharpness enough to use this acci-
dental discovery in making the first
telescope.
Most engineers are familiar with
the story of how the steam engine
was first made automatic. In the
early rude forms of the Newcomer
engine boy was employed to open
and shut the cocks which admitted
steam and the condensing water A
boy named Humphrey Potter, who
was engaged on this work, was anx-
ious to play, and the movement of
the engine gave him very little op-
portunity. To increase his leisure he
devised an arrangement of strings
connected with the walking beam
which opened and shut the cocks.
This was the first move toward max
ing the engines mechanism perform
the operation of admitting and re-
leasing steam.
The moving of a distant signal by
means of a wire seems a very simple
operation, and one which called for
little ingenuity to invent. Still, the
earlier railroad engineers could not
devise satisfactory means of operat-
ing distant signal until a working
signal man showed them the way.
1t is told that in 1916 an English sig
nal man had to attend to two signals
placed some distance apart at a sta
ton. To save himself the trouble of
walking to and fro between them he
procured some wire and pulleys and
made a crude arrangement by which
he was able, while in his box, to op-
crate both. signals. An official who
had been trying to devise some means
of protecting trains standing at sta
tions happened to see this primitive
arrangement and applied it to the
working of distant signals. s.-Loco-

There Is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con-
dtion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing. and when
IL is entirely closed deafness is the lie
suit, and unless the Inflammation cat
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is moth
ing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

The Wonderful Aphis.

The aphis, which is known by the
common name of plant louise" is an
chronological enigma as well as an
agricultural pest. The scientists do
not pretend to know just exactly
how many varieties of aphis browse
on the green things of nature, but
some authorities estimate them at
1000 large proportion of that num-
ber having been named and classi-
fed. A single insect of any of these
species of aphis may become the pro
genitor of billions of young, even
during their lifetime
Latrielle, who is an acknowledged

They soothe. Never Irritate.

Some people have prejudice against
plasters, because, as they think, they
burn and blister. That is'true of many,
but not of Allcock's Porus Plasters.
They never irritate the skin, but al.
ways have a soothing effect.
They are useful in case of any local
p ain and as rule will bring immediate
relief. If they do not, it is because the
trouble has been allowed to become 80
serious that no external remedy will
reach it, and the chances are that any
treatment will fail.
For stitches in the side, weakness OF
lameness of the. back, stiffness of the

been proved again and again to be not
only relief, but cure.
