Chicago Times-Herald A sunfish said to be the largest ever taken out of the Atlantic Ocean was recently caught. It weighed 29O pounds and measured feet from the tip of the lower fin to the tip of the upper fin, while the length from the nose to the tip of the tail was 4 feet 6 inches. It was between IS and 24 inches in thickness. The fins and tail appeared to be formed of meaty substance, not being made up of bones webbed together, as is the case with the comparatively mi mute sunf1sh which inhabits fresh waters. But this gigantic fish's mouth is no larger than that of human being, if opened.

There is or medicine which every fam fly should be provided with. We refer to Chamberlain's Pain Balm. When it is kept at hand the severe pain of burn or scald may be promptly relieved and the sore healed in much less time than when medicine has to be sent for A sprain may be promptly treated before infiamma- tion sets in, which insures 8 cure in about one-third the time otherwise required. Cuts and bruises should receive immedi- ate attention, before the parts become swollen, and when Chamberlain's Pain Balm is applied it will heal them without matter being formed, and without leaving a scar. A sore throat may be cured in one night. A piece of flannel dampened with this liniment and bound on over the seat of pain, will cure lame back or pain in the side or chest in twenty-fOuI hours. It is the most valuable, however, for rheumatism. Persons afflicted with this disease will be delighted with the prompt relief from pain which 1t affords, and 1t can be depended upon to effect complete cure. For sale by w. w.

THE SPEED OF ELEoTRIo1TY.-Thesp speed of electricity. under the most favorable conditions, is now estimated to be 60,000 miles a second. What this enormous speed implies is somewhat dimly suggest ed by an illustration recently used by the eminent scientist, Sir Robert Bell. Sup pose that row of telegraph posts S5, ,O0O miles long were erected around the earth at the equator. Suppose that a wire was stretched upon these posts for this circuit of 25,OOO miles, and that then another complete circuit was taken by the same wire around the same posts, and then an- other, and yet another. In fact, let the wire be wound no fewer than seven times completely about this great globe. We should then find that an electric signal sent into the wire at one end would &C., complish the circuit in one second of time.

"Feedingu Glove Skins

After the preliminary processes Of dress.
ing skins for kid gloves they require
feeding to render them soft and plump.
1t Is remarkable fact that nothing but
the yolks OF fresh eggs can do this. Mil.
hons OF yolks are annually used for this
purpose in the various nanuf;ctorics pro.
duclng gloves. Boxes suspended upon
pivots and made to revolve rapidly receive
the skins and yolks; by the rapid rotatory
movement the skins are thrown from side
to side, and the rich orange egg yolks are
beaten into them and absorbed, leaving in
the churnlike receptacles merely a thin.
watery looking fluid. Feeding is a very
expensive process, yet it is necessary both
ior tanned skins and for those which are
to be dyed.
