The important fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about or s per cent
of the total heat value of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1909 degrees of heat, or heat units
not degrees of temperature-to change
one pound of water into steam, while
during the absorption Of this amount of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer.
Scientific authorities explain the cause
of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the $50 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
-212 degrees are apparent upon ther
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make up the 1902 degrees above men
tioned-go into the engine unindicated
by the thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste. New York

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
'ess expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the wo.ld's 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
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It 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

How to Clean Old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon a fiat surface a
sheet of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned. Carefully
dampen the print ON both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with mixture of chloride Of lime and
oxalic acid dissolved in about equal pro
portions in pint of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color. Continue to
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American.

DO FISHES TALKi
Here LIS Testimony From Man Wins
Thinks They Do.

Thinks They DO.
We have heard of the language of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, and even
of ants, but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr.. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating a notion of their
experiences to other fishes.
Mr.. Field carried ON his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr.. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
of trout, which, at the time when Mr..
Field first visited them, were SO little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight-a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth-
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If, Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the. re-
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called Language. '-Fortnightly, Re-

Animals In Laibach,s Earthquake.

An observer of animal life has cob
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
a number of notes upon the behavior Of
animals during the earthquake at Lai-
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owl, chained to a toolhouse,
cried as if for help, and he was with it
when the earthquake began. Some for
est guards observed hares running, as If
for their lives, up hill before the first
shock. Partridges flew long distance.
A gentleman who spent the night of
Easter Sunday in carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on tower flying
round it every time that shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreasts also fiut-
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
all were the horses. They trembled long
before a shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees and sides. The dogs
howled the whole night. When shock
was near, their cries were so strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.

He had accordingly taken it with him

after his interview with Mr.. Trent at his

Champ Clark's Bows Appeal.

gresham Champ Clark's bright little
boy, Bennett, is almost as regular in
his attendance on the sessions of the
House as his father. He has grown out
of his kits and into knickebrockers.
He knows all the members on that
part of the floor where his father sits,
and he begins to take a great deal OF
interest in the speeches, especially
when they are lively. Little Bennett,
in a dim way, appreciates that the end
of his going to Congress is not far off,
and he is sorry forit. The other night
he knelt down to say his prayers and
startled his mother by interpolating:

he added: "Lord, please keep papa

A Great disappointment.
From the Kansas City Star

r- .
The General Assembly of Missouri
has already exceeded, by a week, half
OF its constitutional tenure 1t has less
than thirty days yet to serve on fun
pay, and the chances are that when the
daily stipend of its members is cut
down to a dollar a day their stay viii
be quite brief at Jefferson City.
If the present supine and dilatory
policy is TO continue to the end, the
people of the state viii greet the final
adjournment of the Legislature with a
lively sense of satisfaction. Up 10 the
present time no measure of general
Importance has been enacted by the
General Assembly. The proceedings
have consisted mostly of vain and idle
talk and wearisome debate upon a va
riety of useless bills. The Republicans,
who control the popular branch of the
Legislature, have proved themselves
unmindful of their great opportunity.
For the first time since the reconstruc-
ton period, they are in a position TO
carry out their ~professed desire to
eredeem the state Missouri a
been in the hands of the Democracy
| for thirty years or more, and the gold"
| en- chance is now presented to the OPP
position 10 correct and remedy the
| abuses which have sprung up under
a political dynasty rendered bold and
corrupt by an extended lease of power.
| They have utterly failed, thus far, to
measure up to the situation. They
have submitted themselves to h die
tation fof a fossiliferous 'sboss," who
may be aptiy compared to the "old
man of the sea- The principal object
of the Republican majority in the
House has been, seemingly, to carry
out the behests of Ringmaster Filley, to
whom patriotism is a myth and prog
ress n stranger. This antedeluvian
| autocrat has arisen from the mould and
dust and has taken the reins of power
into his despotic hands. This much,
and nothing more, has been done by
the Republicans at Jefferson City to-
ward creating a ''new Missouri" One
Bourbon dynasty has been overthrown
and another has apparently reared
upon its ruins.
This, briefly, is the meager realiza-
ton of the high hopes which We're
built up by the people of Missouri
when the Democratic party was de-
posed last autumn. There has been
no reform, no practical and earnest
effort to protect the people in the
right of self-government, which is
impossible without safeguards to pre-
serve the sanetity of the ballot
nothing, in short, but a lei and
sordid contention for partisan advan-
tage, under the spur and direction of
a man who has set out to utilize the
Republican triumph in Missouri to his
own advantage, and defraud the party
of the fruits of it's victory.
With Mr.. Filley in the lead the Re-
publican party viii be speedily di-
vested of power, but this just punish
ment will not atone to the people of
Missouri for the crime which it is
committing in refusing to ameliorate
the evils which caused the defeat of
its ancient and powerful adversary
last November.
