One Of Tyndalrs Heroic Experiments.
From the Western Mail
In 1865 Tyndall performed the experiment
of separating light from heat. In the course
Of the Investigations which enabled him to
do this he made one of the most daring ex-
periments that ever a scientific man ven-
tured on.
Knowing a layer Of iodine placed before
the eye intercepted the light. he determined
to place his own eye in the focus of strong
invisible rays. He knew that If in doing so
the dark rays were absorbed in a high de-
gree by the humors of the eye the albumen
of the humors might coagulate; and on the
other hand, IL there was no high absorption
the rays might strike upon the retina with
force sufficient to destroy 1t. When he first
brought his eye undefended near the dark
focus the heat on the parts surrounding the
pupil was too intense to be endured He.
therefore, made an aperture in the plate OF
the metal, and, placing his eye behind this
aperture. he gradually approached the poin.
Of conveyance of the invisible rays. First
the pupil and next the retina We're placed in
the focus without any sensible damage I'm
mediately afterward a sheet of platinum foil
placed in the position which the retina had
occupied became red hot.

Mighty Niagra Tanned.

N1AaRA FALLS, Jan. 26.-The first
practical test of the great hydraulic
tunnel, which has been under con-
struction in this city for the past
three years, was made yesterday morn
ing.
The test shows what many thous-
ands have been waiting to sea
practical demonstration of the { lat
scheme for harDessing the terrific
power of Niagara, scheme which has
already cost nearly s4.0OO,OOO. The
paper mill, which is the first to get
the benefit of the power, is the largest
Of its kind in the world. It's contract
calls for $500 horsepower, one-half
of which is being used now, and the
cost, including the lease Of land occu-
pied by the mill, is So per horsepower
per year for twenty-four hours per
day, the cheapest, it is said, attained.
The test proved satisfactory one
and the mill is now in full operation.
The hydraulic tunnel, with capacity
of 100000 horsepower, is success,
and now there remains only the formal
opening of the general power house,
where 5000 horsepower turbines will
operate 5000 horsepower electric
generators for the transmission of
power in this form. The opening will
take place on June L, and it is intend
ed to give the event celebration at
which distinguished scientists, en-
gineers and State officials will be
present.
The test yesterday was made in the
presence only of the officials Of the
paper mills and the R. D. Wood
Company, Of Philadelphia, which
built and placed the machinery in
position, and Prof Geyelin, the de-
signcr of the turbines used. Not q
hitch was made and everything ran as
smoothly as could be desired.

cottages it would be filled up right
away with boarders at from $40 to $50
a month. I have had enough inqui-
ries myself to have filed it. The
trouble with common boarding houses
here is the lack Of chimneys. Hardly
any private house has more than one
room with fireplace. This does not
satisfy our up-country folks who like
little fire in the early morning dur
ing the winter months. Our landlord,
Mr.. Anspaugh, knew how it was, for
he came from Gainesville, and we
have fire when we want it. Old-fash-
ioned people believe that it disperses
malarial or malignant atmosphere.
But the charm of Clear Water is it's
quiet and peaceful serenity and its
beautiful outlook. The outer world is
matter of no great concern, while
the oars and sails and the islands and
the surf are in sight and the fish are
greedy for the bait. The tariff and
the Hawaiian Islands are of secondary
Importance. Even the postofice is Of
no great concern so long as our worthy
postmaster brings US news from home
and sends away our letters. As for
Corbett and Mitchell, the fight was
hardly mentioned at the breakfast ia
BILE. Our colored barber alone took
any interest in it, and is now banking
on the negro Jackson whipping Cor
bett. 1t is amazing what an excite
ment that pugilistic encounter created,
and how earnestly it has been defend
ed by many good people. In all his
tory, sacred and profane, there is not
an instance Of pugilist having ac-
complished any good for mankind.
"There were giants in those days"
sayeth the Scriptures, but that is all.
They were giants. Goliath was Of no
consequence nor did Sampson set a
good example. All the great and good
men of history had brains and hearts
muscles are not mentioned
nevertheless if man is deficient in
the former reckon it is well enough
for him to develop something. If he
can't be shepherd dog or pointer, it
is better to be bulldog than fee.

The reader Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh, being a
constitutional disease, requires con-
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly on the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by builing up the
constitution and assisting nature in
doing it's work. The proprietors have
so much faith in it's curative powers,
that they offer One Hundred Dollars
for any case that it fails to cure.
