one pint of grain is lost at every feed
ing. In stable of only ten horses
this daily loss assumes considerable
proportions. As will be seen by the
illustration, third more or less, of
the grain to be fed is placed in the bot
tom of the bag, and the balance in the
two side pockets, in the lower end of
each of which is small aperture
through which the grain passes auto
maticallY into the bag as fast as its
contents are consumed. When in po-
sition on the animals hend, his
lips are always within reaching dis
lance of the bottom of the bag. So
long as the bottom is covered to the
depth of an inch or more, the grain in
the side pockets can not flow in.
There are no springs, chains, metal
tubes, etc, used In the construction
OF this bag, and it can be trampled on
by the horse with impunity' without
suffering injury.
The automatic method of closure
prevents the grain from being tossed
out by the shaking of the animal
head.

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
hess expenditure, by more 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 perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t 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 SOC 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,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Origin of Spiral Wires.

More than one observing person not
familiar with electric apparatus has
had his curiosity aroused by noticing
that in great many pieces Of appar-
tus when installed the wire immedi-
ately next to the appliance has been
twisted in neat coil, not unlike that
of a spring. This curious feature Is
seen in the wire leading to telephones,
push buttons, call bells and the like,
while it may also be observed some
times in the heavier wires, which are
attached to the ''hanger-boards" Of arc
lamps. AS matter Of fact, these coils
are not an essential element in any
mechanism, though many believe them
to be so; but are simply symmetrical
way of disposing of the slack wire
that had been allowed in measuring the
distance. So easily do we become fixed
i'm our habits that this traditional ar
rangement may now be noticed in
great many places where there is not
the slightest necessity for it, and the
most striking example is that furnished
by a large electric lighting plant in
England, where the huge copper rods
leading from the dynamOS to the
switchboard have actually been tor
turcd into corkscrew spirals In order
to give them some kind Of vague re-
semblance to the involutions attached
to the smaller and cruder devices Of
bygone years This is another instance
of English conservatism, which is still
manifested, as Herbert Spencer has
noted, in the retention Of the lines to
the old stage coach in their modern
railway cars.

FREQUENT Onslaughts

On the delicate membrane of the bowels
and stomach with drastic purgatives must
have their natural consequence-to weaken
and disable both organs. Nature exacts
severe penalties for infringements of her
laws, and there Is no more glaring one than
that which consists in frequent and I'M
necc ssary dosing with violent cathartics.
This is, however, the course pursued by
many unwise people, who seem to think
that the bowels, unless constantly relaxed,
are not in a healthy state. When lax
ative is really needed, Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is the safest and most thorough.
1t neither gripes nor operates violently or
excessively. 1t invigorates the lntestines
and stom ach, and arouses the liver. Reg
ularity and vigor are guaranteed by its
use. Sleep promoted, appetite restored,
are among its benign effects. A tendency
to rheumatism and kidney trouble is
nullified by it. and it completely eradicates
malarial complaints.

A Mile a Minute.

A Welsh engineer has prepared de-
signs for a vessel which he claims will
attain a speed of sixty miles an hour.
His proposed vessel is fiat bottomed,
$50 feet long, so feet in width, wedge
shaped at each end for 100 feet of her
length, with displacement of some
$4,000 tons. Such vessel fitted with
sixteen paddle wheels, driving at 10
revolutions minute, this sanguine in :
ventor believes would be propelled
through the water at the rate of sixty
miles an hour. This would be break
ing the record with vengeance, for
the Lucania, which has just eclipsed
all previous performances, averaged
barely twenty-five miles an hour.
The sixteen paddle wheels of the pro-
posed express passenger steamer would
be placed eight on each side, one be-
hind the other in water channel run
sing fore and aft just above the ships
bottom. They are of peculiar con-
struction, the paddle always maintain
ing a perpendicular position and
always entering and leaving the water
at exactly the same point.

Smoke Absorption.

Mr.. Tatlock, the public analyst Of
Glasgow, Scotland, is responsible for
sCme figures which throw favorable
light on the system of smoF Absorp-
ton now being applied in that city.
The system consists essentially Of
steam jet or jets to assist the draught
and dampen the dust, and of Il finer
waite" spray to participate the dust and
SCOT and absorb the sulphirous acid.
The { ught is not affected by the oper-
alton of the apparatus, the dust and
SCOT almost entirely disappear from the
escaping gases, and the sulplurous acid
is reduced to onc-half. Ordinarily
about thirty pounds of sulphurous acid
may be estimated to escape to the
atmosphere from the burning in a
smoky water tube boiler Of about three
and half a ton Of wood waste. This Is
reduced to II pounds, and the usual 100
pounds of SCOT is reduced to pounds.
These figures can be relied on, and that
is more than can be said Of all the
smoke consumption methods now be-
fore the public. 1t is very desirable
that the sulphurous acid should be en-
tirely prevented from escaping into the
outer air, despite the claim made for
it that it is a powerful disinfectant,
and although the reduction already not
ed is not altogether satisfactory, 1t
means marked improvement in the
atmosphere of city burning soft coal,
and notifications in the process, suci,
for instance, as longer traverse Of the
water may possibly give such results as
will place the new system in a leading
position among the smoke consumption
methods of the day.

Registering the strength of Fibers.

A handy and useful machine has
been invented for testing the strength
of fibars while in raw or unmanu-
featured state. So rs to secure uni
formity in the tests the quantity Of
fibers to be tested is regulated by q
gauge specially provided for the pur-
pose The respective ends of the fibers
are then placed in two vises, one Of
which is coupled UP to the piston of
pneumatic check cylinder, while the
other is attached by a strong cable to
n worm and wheel motion. The han
die connected with the worm gearing
is then turned. and by an automatic
adjustment Of the pressure In the pneu-
matte cylinder the utmost limit of the
capacity of the fiber is reached before
breaking takes place. The actual break
ing strength of the fiber is registered
on q dial fixed on the cylinder casing.
This machine should be useful TO spin
ners and merchants for testing the
quality of their samples, and planters
and wool growers should find it service
able in determining the valve Of their
raw material.

A Medical Corp. for women.

While the woman suffragist Is on
the warpath In this country an earnest
movement Is being made in England
to extend the scope Of woman's activ-
ity by the formation of volunteer
medical staff corps for women. The
lady who occupies the chair ut the
me. ting convened for the discussion of
the project spoke of the desirability of
women being enlisted into the move
ment as nurses TO the regular army,
and especially the volunteers, in time
of war. She was decidedly against the
use Of the present heavy skirt as a
dress for the new corps, and thought
that what would be suitable for man,
with possibly slight variation, would
be suitable for a woman. Another
speaker said that the dress should be
as nearly military rs possible, and
thought that n short tunic would be a
graceful costume in conjunction with
knickerbockers and CATERS. One lady
insisted that the women should be in
structed in the use of firearms, lust
the same as the men" The objection
of one speaker that it was Illegal for
WOluuh W tiiSlltusc with tic ShlI I
was overruled on the ground that there
could be no infraction of the law in
discarding the skirt 80 long as wom-
an does not pretend to be man." One
prominent advocate of the higeher use
fulncss of woman, in explaining the
proposed plan of ushering into exist
ence corps of women as medical as
sistants aud nurses for the wounded,
said that al eat improvement had taken
place of late in the physical education
of women, and 1t would be well If they
could use it for the benefit of the com
munity. The care Of the sick and
wounded would be womanly occupa.
ton, and If they could but form corps

Curing Frost Bites.

Although the past winter has in
most cases been of exceptional mild
ness, it has developed a new cure for
frost bite. DIR. Helbing has been sue
cessful in Germany in twenty cases in
healing people of the frozen nose.
The treatment consist ted in applying
electrodes to the opposite sides of the
nose and passing a moderately strong
current for five or ten minutes, NOV
ing the electrodes about. The imme-
date result is a reddening of the It's
sues, which may last several days,
after which the skin and flesh resume
their normal condition. In extreme
cases from ten to fifteen applications
have been found necessary.
