Deafness Can Not BE Cured

by local applications, as they can not reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure Deafness and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have q
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tub restored TO its nor,
maj condition, hearing will be DESTROYED
forever; uine cases out OF ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition of the mucous surfaces.

Atmosphere of the Stars.

The modern astronomical principle
on which stars are classified, namely,
the resemblance and difference be.
tween their spectra, and the revela-
tons characterizing this remarkable
phenomenon, have led to various at
ternpts to indicate the stage Of ad-
vancement attained by each particu-
lar orb in its life's history or develop
ment. Remarking Upon this, a recent
writer cites Dir. Scheiner as putting,
In his late work on stellar spect-o-
scopy. those stars whose sfectra con-
tain the bright lines of hellum and
hydrogen i'm the first subdivision Of
his first class in evolution, Beta Ly-
rae and Gamma Cassioplae being two
such stars; he regards them as having
a~tmospheres composed of those gases,
enormously extensive as compared
with those Of other stars, and possibly
hotter than the gaseous envelopes OF
their older companions. On the basis
of this theory the query is considered
pertinent as to how long it may be
since our world was in the condition
of Beta Lyrae, whether any helium
now floats in n outer atmosphere,
how that particular portion which Is
now imbedded In the earth's crust got
there, and other similar questions

TO REPAIR THE PARTnENoy.
Plans Proposed for the Preservation
of This Famous Greek Temple

The condition OF the P~arthenon. the
possible damage done TO it by the
earthquake Of 1894, has already been
alluded to. Many experts having ex.
amined the Parthenon, as to the best
method OF preserving this marvel Of
Greek art, the subject is yet under
discussion. Ernest Zillar states that
the earthquake did the Parthenon lit.
tie. if any, harm. The worst accident
to it happened when the Morosini laid
siege to the Acropolis in 1857. FILLER
proposes using q particular cement,
and holding together the cracked
stones. He wants II modern patch
work. Ziller represented a minority
report. The majority report, headed
by Prof. Doerofeld and Theophilus,
devoted their attention to the archi-
trave and other injured portions of the
Parthenon. They want to remove the
broken block of the architraye, to use
iron bars TO support other parts, and
to introduce new stone, but this new
stone to be made u of old material,
so that no patching can be visible.
Nothing having been decided upon, a
third expert. Prof. Julius Durm. has
been called on He deems the archi-
trave to be hopeleSSly ruined, and
thinks ii ought to be entirely restored.
II is future consequences he breads
natural distegration brought about by
rains and frost. According TO the
Athenaeum, Durm emphasizes be-
tween what ais urgent and not urgent,
necessary and desirable. what must
be done and what might be done"
About $4,000 would be the sun re-
Quired for the pressing wants of the
ParthenOE. and $4,000 would
all the outlay. There was some differ
enCe OF opinion when the matter OF
w0rkmen was entered on, as Durm
wanted Germans or Italians In pref
erence to Greeks. And so the matter
stands. The last expert is NJ. Mango.
NJ. Mango is opposed to stone cement
ing or any similar process Of restora-
ton" His idea is TO rivet in the o
stones by mean of iron or copied
hooks. He describes how difficult
would be the removal of unsound
parts, on account of the old way the
Greeks had of mOrtiSing their stones,
and using lead, which fastened the
lower blocks. He breads that careless
repairs or tinkerings might bring down
the whole western cOrnice. There Is
no question as to NJ. Manages superior

by wringing the neck. To dress chick

For scalding chickens, the water
should be as near the boiling point as

Ropy MIX or Cream.

In a recently published translation of

1t is only a matter Of time when
electric roads will be established be-
tween all important cities. The sub
stitution of the electric motor and spe-
cial devices for fast travel may be
delayed by the managers of steam
railways, whose business will be in
jured thereby, but the change has got
to come. Present methods are not in
keeping with the progressive science
of the age. The steam roads carry a
ton of car weight for every passenger
they transport, where only 400 pounds
will be required with the new system.

CIpy twenty-fOur hours in transit be

the distance can be covered in eight
hours? Why should passengers be
bothered with sleeping car accommo-
dations to make a journey that can be
ACCOMPLISHED within the short hours
that now constitute a legal working
day?

dispensed with. The motors are on

possible to dispense with the mighty

GRAND JURY INQUIRIES
Promoters of a Laundry In
vestment Scheme Called
to Account.
Neglect Of Ex-County Clerk Haley
to Record Inheritance
Tax.

The Grand Jury held long session yes
terday and devoted considerable time to an
inquiry respecting the methods of the
German-American Laundry Company.
The peculiar transactions of the company
were exposed in The CALL some weeks ago
when the case was before Judge Campbell's
court. Somehow the case was not pressed
because the attorney representing investors
who claimed that they had been swindled
made some sort of agreement or stipulation
with the lawyer on the other side.
Mr.. Persey, member of the G.. A. r.,
was one of the purchasers of laundry stock.
He invested to the extent of 500. Ten
others, equally unsuspecting, paid their
money into the business, and when they
got possession of the premises at the south
west corner of Cough and LON bard streets,
found that the business of the company
was not as represented. Dummy packages
books had misled them. When they called
for laundry orders at places listed for regu-
lar business, they found no customers.
Fearing that the promoters of what they
consider swindle would scatter and cover
up their tracks it was decided to put the
Grand Jury on the trail of Mr.. Jessup, the
president, and Frederick Buchanan, the
secretary of the company. Jessup was
called before the jury yesterday. Persey
and many other witnesses were in waiting.
The jury is making an investigation OF
the reported neglect of Haley in the matter
of attending to the return of inheritance
tax while he held the Office of County
Clerk The records in the office of the
Treasurer and County Clerk have been
examined.
