Half an hour later Uncle Ben reen-

THE TRAVELS OF SOUND.

= Mans Voice Heard at . Distance q
Eighteen 1files.
An inquiry was recently made In Lon.
don as to the greatest distance at which
eman's voice could be heard, leaving OF
course the telephone out Of considera-
ton. The reply, says Harper's Round
Table, was most interesting, and
was as follows: Eighteen miles 10 the
distance on record at which mans
voice has been heard. This occurred in
the Grand canyon Of tho, Colorado,
when ono shouting the name Bob" at
one end his voice was plainly heard at
the other end, which is eighteen miles
away. 81
{: Lieut.. Foster, on Parry's third arctic
expedition, found that he could con-
verse with 2 man across the harbor Of
Port Bowen, distance Of six thousand
six hundred and ninety-six feet, or
about ono mile and q quarter, and Sir
John Franklin said that he conversed
with ease ut q distance Of more than q
mile. DR.. Young records that at Gil
bzaltar tho human voice has been heard
at q distance Of ten miles.
Sound has remarkable force In water.
Colladon, by experiments made in the
Lake Of Geneva, estimated that bell
submerged in the sea might be heard q
distance Of moro than sixty miles.
Franklin says that he heard the strik.
ing together Of two stones in the water
half Q mile away. Over water or q
surface Of ice sound is propagated with
great clearness and strength.
DR.. Hutton relates that on quiet
part of the Thames, near Chelsea, he
could hear q person read distinctly at
the distance of one hundred and forty
feet, while on the land the same could
only be heard seventy-six feet. Prof.
Tyndall, when on Mont Blanc, found
the report Of a pistol shot no louder
than the pop Of a champagne bottle.
Persons in balloon can hear voices
from the earth long time after they
themselves are inaudible to people be-
low.

THE / T FARMING WORLD b.
FIRST GLASS BACON.
s. increasing Demand which Il 81 I'M

An increasing Demand which IL or I'm.
II portance to Farmers.
This country Is fast becoming ma
lion of bacon eaters, and the. demand
Tor bacon is very much greater now
han it was only . few years ago. This
siemand leads to well-defined call for
aacon breeds Of swine and those breeds
which can be depended on to produce
meat well streaked with lean have
prospect OF becoming very popular. The
bacon made in America has hitherto
3een too fat to meet with great favor
IN the markets Of the world. In Eu-
rope, Danish bacon has first place, while
that of Canada is taken in preference
to TINT from this country. This Is
because Of the greater amount of lean
neat in the product OF these countries
as compared with ours.
The American swine breeder has been
paying most Of his attention to pro-
ducing weight without regard to what
their weight was made Of, and, as
consequence, American pork is largely
pure fat, and it is not uncommon to
find American side pork that has no
lean at all in it. The favorite breeds
in America have been bred to this
weight ideal, until they are largely fat
producers, and very few of them arc
good bacon hogs, and he who desires
to produce tirst-class bacon must choose
his breed carefully. Z "A few years ago
the Berkshire produced good bacon,
gut the rage for great weight and the
habit Of getting this BY feeding heavily
IN corn to the exclusion Of more nitrog-
nous foods, has made this breed q fat
producer instead of agood bacon breed.
It is altogether possible to breed back
to the old-time qualities, but this is
work of time, and to meet the present
demand other breeds must be looked
for. The Yorkshires are first-class
bacon breed, and promise to obtain
that they have not had be-
cause of this disposition to produce
Well-streaked bacon. The Tamworths
are also a good breed for this purpose
and are largely bred in England for
bacon, but in this country they have
not been as widely introduced as the
Yorkshires;. assss
Feeding has something to do with
producing bacon, and If the farmers
If the counk.y will feed more nitrogen
ous foods and MT so much corn, they
will go long say toward making good
bacon with the breeds now found on the
farms of the countSy While corn will
probably remain the 81 ,ndard food for
hogs, they should be gi7en wheat or
middlings, bran, oats, grass. milk and
other lean-making foods, anu receive
less corn in their rations. If hog is
well fed, and by that we mean properly
fed, SO as to make fsizeswithout being
made fat, it can be finished on corn and
make very fair article of bacon, but
if 1t has been grown and fattened on
diet that is almost exclusively corr,
it can never be made to produce first
class bacon.-Farm News.

GAINED HIS FREEDOM.
The Fetters Of Pain Were Broken.

4 Marvellous ChanEe-How . Future Of
Gloom Was Averted-Ths Present
Full Of Joy and Hope.
From ths Herald, Rslsna, None. I.
As rugged and hardy as one Of the pines
which grow In the rocky mount tain region is
@. z. Ticknor, Of Helena, Montana. For
twenty-four years he has resided in the
mountain country, but his vigor is not due
altogether to the bracing air Of Montana.
Last fall Mr.. Wcknor was what might well
DO termed physical wreck. For eight
weeks he lay on his bed. suffering from q
severe attack Of sciatic rheumatism In one
OF his hips. Physicians and medicines gave
him no relief and tho future looked gloomy.
Added to his troubles was the anxiety con-
corning the care Of large family. BY
chance one day Mr.. Ticknor saw an account
Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
He said to Q Herah reporter that he was not
In favor Of proprietary remedies, but in this
instance something In the article caught his
attention and he determined to give the pills
trial. In the interview with the Herald
representative the other day, Mr.. Mcknor
spoke In the most emphatic terms Of the
marvellous change in his condition. ssBefore
week had gone by," he said. 81 was able
to get out Of bed and move about. Ihad
hardly used one box Of the pills. BY the
time I had taken three boxes I felt
twenty years younger. In fact was q
new man and have been perfectly well ever
since. can't say too much for Pink Pills
and never miss an opportunity to praise
them.''
When the Herald representative saw Mr.
Tcknor he was making some repairs on the
school building on Boulder Avenue: He
swung his carpenter's hammer with all the
vigor OF lusty young man aud looked as
hale and hearty a. any man of his years to
be found in the entire rocky mountain coun-
try. He Is ffty-nine years old and is able
20 do aday's work at his trade Of carpenter
Pink Pills can always be found in his house.
Mr.. Ticknor lives at 1419 Boulder Avenue
near the American Biscuit Manufacturing
Company's plant, where he will be glad to
see anyone who wishes to verify this ac-
count Of his experience with DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills.
Dr.. Williams Pink pills contain, in con-
densed form, all the elements necessary to
give new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. They are also q
specific for troubles peculiar to females,
such as impressions, Irregularities and all
forms Of weakness. They build up the
blood, and restore the glow of health to pale
and sallOW cheeks. In men they effect a
radical cure In all cases arising from mental
worry, 0verwOrk or excuses Of whatever
nature. Pink Pills are sold in boxes never
In loose bulky at 50 cents a box or six boxes
for $3.50, and may be had of all druggists, or
