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
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds 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
alive; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation:
1t 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
ufactured by the California Fig Syrrn
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup Of Figs,
and being we'll informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Tho Streets of Venice.

Many persons are under a great
misapprehension as to the means Of
tfansit or locomotion in Venice. IL is
mistake to suppose that there are no
streets, and that it il absolutely nee
essary TO go from place to place by
gondola. 1t is trse that three bridges
the Rialto bridge Of the middle ages,
and two modern iron bridges span
the grand canal which divides the city
into equal halves; it is true that the
city is built upon 1T islands, inter-
sected by $50 small canals and 9,4s0
passages, but almost everyone of the
water streets has quay or foot path
bordering it, while 400 bridges unite
island to island, so that it is quite pos
sible to go to every part of the city on
foot, although few, perhaps, would
care to do so, for there is not, in all
the world, more difficult place for
the traveller, guided only by the eight
Of nature" to find given spot. That
spot may be only a few hundred yards
away, but to reach it he may have to
cross half dozen bridges, some lead
ing to tho right and some to the left,
and travetse as many squares, of which
there are 306, 127 larger squares, and
900 smaller squares.

Howllng of the Moon.

Just as some highly civilized races
worship the sun, so some lower peo-
pie in the scale worship the moon.
Amongst the latter may be named the
Makua of Mozambique, in East Africa.
They are bad lot,and give the Portu-
gese much trouble. At full moon
they always dance and howl most
mournfully. Mr.. II. H. Johnston, the
traveller, says that although the au-
thorities forbid these observances, his
Makua servant ran the risk of being
whipped and even imprisoned, rather
than not go down to the beach to caper
and yell on full-moon nights.

ILLIMITABLE DISTANCE.
1t Takes 1000 Years for the Light OF
Some stars to Reach Us,

IG takes 1,OOO Years for the Light OF
Some Stars to Reach Us.
While, however, 1t is interesting to
know the distance of some Of the stars
in miles, when stated in that way the
numbers are so large that they fire.
quently convey very indistinct concep-
ton to the mind. For this reason it Is
customary to estimate star distances In
light years" A light year is the dis
lance that light, moving at the rate of
10000 miles per second, travels in one
year. This amounts in round numbers
to $3.50, 1000, 100000 miles. The distance
of Alpha Centauri Is 4.35 light years;
that Of Sirius, the dog star, is almost
exactly twice as great, or S.6 light
years, In other words, light requires
8.6 years to come to us from Sirius. And
these are among the very nearest of the
stars. Some, whose parallaxes have
been rather estimated than measured,
appear to be situated at a distance
which light could not traverse in less
than one or two centuries The great
star Arcturns, for instance has, accord
ing to DR.. Elkln, a parallax of only
eighteen one-thousandths of a second.
It's distance must, in that case, be about
1S1 light years. or more than 1000, 0OO,-
0oo, 900, O00,0 900 miles. And II its distance
Is so great then, since light varies in
versely as the square of the distance
from its source, 1t can be shown that
Arcturns must actually give 5000 or
5000 times as much light as the sun
yields. Yet Arcturns is evidently much
nearer than the vast majority of the
stars are. Not one in a million Is known
to have parallax large enough even
to be intelligently guessed at. There
may be stars whose light requires thou
sands instead Of hundreds Of years to
cross the space separating them from
us. We thus see that only few points
on the nearer shores Of the starry uni
verse lie within reach of our measure
ments; here and there jutting head
land, while behind stretches the vast
expanse over which the HUNDREDS Of mil
lions Of stars known to exist are scat
tered.

Milk Sterilization.

The bureau of animals industry in
Washington has, at the request of the
secretary of agriculture, drawn up a
series of simple instructions for the
sterilization of milk without boil
ing, which are worthy of careful con-
sideration. These directions state
that the milk to be sterilized for the
use of children should be placed in a
perfectly clean bottle, which is to be
put inside any convenient metal vessel,
into which cold water should be poured
until it reaches the level of the milk
in the bottle. The mouth of the bot
tie should be closed, not with cork,
but with plug of clean white cotton.
1t will be found more convenient in
practice TO raise the bottle containing
the milk about half an inch from the
bottom of the outer vessel by wire
stand, perforated plate or any other
convenient means, as this facilitates
the circulation of the hot water around
the milk bottle. The saucepan or
outer vessel should then be placed on
fire, or preferably on a stove, and
slowly heated until the temperature
of the water in it reaches 1856 degrees
Fahrenheit, The vessel should then
be taken from the fire and covered
over closely, piece of woollen cloth,
blanket, or thin drugget answering
very well. 1t should remain covered
for half an hour, at the expiration of
which time the bottle Of milk should
be taken out and put in cool place
The milk may be used at any time
within twerty-four hours. The cot
ton, however should not be removed,
as it prevents the entrance of dust or
germs of any kind.

A Bore.

When the tide moves in all at once
from the ocean, the phenomenon is
called a "bore." The most perfect ex-
amples are said to be found at the
mouth of the rivers Amazon, Hooghly,
and Tsientang, in China. In the case OF
the aforementioned river, the wave
plunges on like an advancing cataract
four or five miles in breadth and thirty
feet high, and thus passes up the
stream to distance Of eight miles at
rate of twenty-five miles an hour.
The change from ebb to food tide Is
almost instantaneous.

A Strange Sight.

A steamer running on rails is a
curious sight to be seen near Copen-
hagen. Two lakes are separated by
a narrow strip of land on which rails
are laid, running into the water on
each side. The steamer, which is
forty-four feet long, aid carries seven
ty passengers, is guided to the rails
by piles like ferry slip; it has wheels
on either side which fit the rails, and
is driven full speed up one side of the
incline and down the other into the
water on the other side.

Chess.

Many American ladies have of late
become fond of chess playing, and
about twenty of them have combined
for the purpose of holding an inter
national chess congress for ladies.
These ladies have put themselves in
communication with lady chess players
all over the world, and hope to be sue
cessful in gaining their object. Ladies
are much fascinated by the mysteries
of the royal game of chess, and are
fond of working out problems, so it is
likely that it may become shortly q
very popular pastime.

Meat or Molassea.

Nature as rule can be depended
upon to adjust herself to circumstances.
no matter how varying they may be-
come. In this way, the present ad-
vance In meat, which strikes directly
at the poor, Is not an absolutely un-
mixed evil. Its effect upon the con-
sumption Of molasses, especially
throughout the south, has already been
noticed. and 1t Is highly probable that
the advance, II 1t continues, will create
a more or less well-defined boom in
molasses. When the poor are deprived
Of meat they fly to molasses as the next
best thing, and that product becomes
the leading foundation Of their meals.
So that the decrease in the consumption
Of meat instantly increases that of
molasses, striking q fairly equitable
balance.
Several petrifed forests have betY
discovered in Arizona.

DIR. WHIrTEN,s APPEAL CASE.


To be Heard in the United States Supreme
Court November 1S-Unusual Expediency
of Action by the Court.
The United States supreme court has
set Monday, November IS, at Washing
ton, as the time and place for argu-
ments in the appeal case of DR.. George
E. Whitten who was accused of com
plicity with DR.. Lee in causing the
death of Maggie Schloss by malprac-
tice. The appeal is from the decision
of Judge Townsend Of the United States
circuit court, who, in this city, adverse
ly decided motion for the release of
Written under habeas corpus proceed
ings after the physician had been in
dicted by a grand jury along with DR..
j. Edward Lee.
The fact that the case is to come up
this month when it was only appealed
last March is a surprise to lawyers and
Others interested in it. The reason of
the expedition is that Mr.. Doolittle has
preferred the case for trial and it has
been hurried along. 1t looks now as
if the cases against Drs. Lee and Whit
ten, if the government appeal of the
latter is decided adversely, will be tried
at the January term of the New Ha-
ven county criminal superior court.
True it is that if Written loses in Wash
ington, it will not be long ere Mr.. Doo-
little brings him to this state and places
him in the care Of state officers
