For the relief and cure of cold in the
head there is more potency in Ely's Cream
Balm than in anything else it is possible to
prescribe. This preparation has for years
past been making a brilliant success as n
remedy for cold in the head. catarrh and
hay fever. Used in the initial stages of
these complaints Cream Balm prevents any
serious development of the symptoms. while
almost numberless cases are on record of
radical cures of chronic catarrh and hay
fever after all other treatments have proved
of no avail. mar26eod&w

button and over it glass bead. The
knitting needle now acts as pivot and
turns quite easily, being supported by
the button and the bead. To strength
en- it still more. bend a hairpin SO as TO
form little ring in the middle and
plant the two ends into the cork, and
its vertical position viii be assured.
The horizontal wheel, which is very
light, can be made to rotate by the
merest touch Now place quite close
to the wheel an ordinary horseshoe
magnet laid horizontally on any kind
of support on 4 level with the wheel.
The wheel is in equilibrium before this
magnet, the two arms exercising an
equal attraction on two equal portions
of its circumference. But if you heat
with spirit lamp portion of the
wheel situated just in front of one arm
of the magnet until it reddens. you will
see the wheel begin to turn slowly and
continuously, the heated portion show
ing tendency tc retreat from the
magnet. The explanation Of the phe-
nomenon is as follows: Iron, as we
know, is attracted by magnet at its
normal temperature, but when heated
to 600 degrees the magnet attracts it
no longer. But the cold portion OF the
wheel continues to be attracted by the
other arm of the magnet, and conse-
quently the wheel turns in the direc-
ton indicated by the arrows in the
clearinghouse a Week.

TUBULAR BULLET.

this time, to have greater accuracy
than the tubular bullet. Contrary to
expectation, it is found that the HELLER
bullet is retarded by the air more than
Is the service bullet, This condition is
indicated by the rapid falling off of the
velocity, for, with the greater muzzle
velocity Of the tubular bullet, its speed
Is decreased until at 2,7OO yards the
velocities of the two bullets become
about equal. The energies and the
penetrative power of the two become
about equal at 450 yards, up to which
range the tubular bullets should have
greater penetration, of course.
There is another feature to be con-
sidered in testing bullets for military
use. The shock OF the bullet must be
sufficient to disa BILE, at least, and the
light weight of the new bullet makes
it doubtful if this end can be attained.
The soldier can carry a larger number
Of the lighter bullets, of course, the
increase being about 40 per cent, and
the new bullet has greater danger
space with the fatness of its trajectory.
Gen. Flagler says that these ad-
vantages can be secured better with
the tubular bullet than with a solid
bullet of smaller caiber and equal
weight, since the pressure must be in
creased as the caliber is diminished

Another Tribute to the Brain Power ef
These Remarkable Insects.
Twas one day standing in my garden
near the trunk of an old willow tree,
up which a scattered line of ants was
crawling. After time / observed an
occasional straggler coming down in
the opposite direction. Here and there
p couple of ants, ascending and de-
scenditg, CHANGED to meet; but there
was no stoppage and no talk. Present
ly, at about five feet from the ground,
i smesred little hollow in the trunk
with large spoonful of thick treacle
to see how long it would remain undis-
covered. l then went away for a short
time, and on my return found about
dozen ants busily feasting on the
treasure.
A minute or two later one of the
feasters crawled slowly down the
trunk with heavy feet, aud when near
the ground met friend, whom he sud-
denly arrested on his way up, and with
his antennae, which he piled vigorous
ly, held q good talk. What was said l
know not; but the friend knew, and
thereupon marched steadily on up the
tree TO the newly found treasure
Meanwhile the bearer OF the good It'd
ings made his own way quickly back
to the nest few yards off in the grass,
to which / wached him. He was soon
lost to view, but beyond all doubt soon
spread the news of treasure trove
throughout the colony.
Within half an hour of that time
long unbrollen line Of hungry ants was
marching direct to the tree. making
straight for the feast, remaining there
Tor time and then returning 10 the
nest in another line on the other side
of the willow. This process of ascend
ing and descending termites went on
for some hours, in fact, until dusk,
when the numbers of advancing guests
grew less and less. and finally ceased.
Before it was dark not single ant was
TO be seen, though early the next morn
ing fresh band Of adventurers set out
in the same fashion. coming and going
all day until every morsel OF the sweets
had disappeared.
Here, therefore. clearly some talk OF
the surprising dainty had taken place
between the two ants meeting on the
road to it; while tidings had been car
ried TO the colony, which at once
reused all the inmates 70 go forth di-
rect 10 the feast, possibly led by the

Underwear is now made in Paris Of
peat. This sounds like joke, but
there is nothing of the Munchausen or
der about it. 1t has been known for
some time that peat has certain anti
septic qualities. y dead body which
was buried in peat for over a century
was found in state of perfect preser-
walton. Peat is used in the northern
countries of Europe for surgical band
ages, and the favorable results OBJ
tanned by the Russian surgeons with
peat bandages have induced the French
army department TO use it in the French
hospitals II has also been found that
peat fbers in combination with other

soon as electric oscillations impinge
upon the tinfoil, cathode rays are
formed in the interior normal to the
surface of the glass, which, though
only slightly luminous In themselves,
produce vivid luminescence phenomena

In order to obtain an idea Of tho
economy Of these luminous processes,
which is exceedingly great, the author
instituted series of measurements,
''but," he says, LIT would lead too far
to give all the details. / shall, there
fore, only add some remarks concern
Ing the results obtained, and reserve q

The luminosities were measured by
means of CLANS spectrum photometer,
and compared with Won Hefner-Alten-
eck's standard amyl-acetate lamp.
Luminosities of 1-3Oth to 1-4Oth of an
amyl unit were found. In determining
the electric energy consumed, such d.
rect methods of measurement in the
case of these high-frequency currents
met with difficulties already empha-
sized from other Quarters

Use and Abuse OF Toothpicks.

The toothpick, judiciously used, is Of
undoubted value. OF the materials
used as toothpicks the best is the quill,
with the sharp point removed, but with
this, as with all other forms, care
must be observed. BY indiscriminate
application the gums may be SO irri-
teted and injured as to cause recession
and thus increase the existing trouble,
or Inflammation of the tooth membrane
may be caused. q most annoying con-
dition, and one in which the still more
vigorous use of the toothpick gives
temporary relief, only in reality to add
to the fire Metal toothpiclxs are good
because blunt-pointed, but are too
thick to pass between teeth at all
close together. Wood need only be
mentioned TO be condemned, for it is
by no means uncommon occurrence for
small fibers to become detached and
damned between the socket and the
tooth, leading to chronic periostitis and
even the loss of the tooth If the condi-
ton is not recognized.-Lance

SEEN FROM TIE SEA
Description Of the Most Famous
Summit Of Washington.
As Seen from the Cities on Puget Sound
Il Looks Grander Than Any Of the
Alps-History of the Mountain
A = Volcano.

Mount Tacoma is one of row Of Eve
or six lofty peaks, all doubtless OF vol
canic origin, lying between the range
OF the Rocky mountains and the Pa
cifc coast. The row of peaks is one OF
the most remarkable in the world. It
begins with the beautiful Mount Shas-
ia. in California. includes Mount Hood.
Mount ST. Helens and Mount Adams,
and its furthest northern representa-
tive is, perhaps, Mount Baker, in Brit
ish Columbia. Mount Tacoma is the
giant of them all, although it hardly
exceeds Mount Shasta in altitude. Its
height, according to the government
survey, is 14,4i4 feet, feet more than
Shasta But it is far more
massive mountain than Shasta In
fact, there are few great peaks
IN any country that can be COM
pared with Mount Tacoma in majesty
OF appearance As seen from the cities
on Puget sound it looks far loftier than
Gny of the Alps when viewed from an
equal distance, because nearly its en-
tire height is before the eye. mother
words, instead of rising from great
plateau or on the back of q lofty
mountain wall, it springs to its full
height straight from sea level Its out
line is exceedingly imposing, being
that of huge dome. the upper part of
which, even in midsummer, is white
with snow, while in winter the whole
mountain is clothed in white down TO
its foothills
Sixteen or seventeen glaciers flow
down the slopes of the mountain, some
of them of large size, and presenting all
the characteristic features of moraineS,
assures, moulins and icy precipices,
which are TO be found among the gla-
ciers of the Alps. There is, perhaps,
no other mountain within the temper
ate zone that exhibits SO extensive a
glacier system.
The ascent Of the mountain had not
been hitherto very difficult when the
attempt was made late in the summer.
