Perhaps the most noticeable physical
social improvement of the century in
England is in the streets. not of the
metropolis only, but of every city and
town. New roads and streets are al
ways made broad, as is by law provided.
Where, rs in the early eighteen hum
dreds, the streets were either unpaved
or done with cobble stones, with wide
kennels on either side and pools all
over the road, and the sidewalks were
mostly made with kidney flint stones
set on end, now streets are beautifully
and evenly paved with cubes Of granite,
wood (some of it coming from Aus
tralia), or asphalt, and drained to
perfection, so that storm water
runs away at once; while the side

sive granite curbing. Throughout the
country the roads are either made of
crushed flint stones or are macadamized
with broken granite.
The vehicles in those streets are NIL

chairs, the hackney coaches and the
mail coaches, and in their stead are
the omnibus (the first of which ran on

The Crimson Clins.

One Of the most conspicuous land
marks, or, rather, snowmarks, in the
whole Of the Arctic regions is the red
snowbanks discovered near Cape York,
Greenland. by Capt. John Ross in the
year 1918. For miles and miles the hills
are covered with snow that is asred rs
though ithad been saturated with blood.
Lieut.. Greedy, who visited that region
while ON his famous Arctic expedition,
microscopically examined these blood
stained cliffs and reports the color due
to minute organism which he calls
Protococcus nivalis.-St. Louis Repub-

A new and novel instrument is the
koniscope, or dust-testing apparatus.
1t is not . complicated scientific ma
chine, being solely intended for esti-
mating in an easy and simple manner
the amount of pollution and number
of dust particles in the atmosphere.
The action of the instrument is based
on certain color phenomena associated
with what il called ''cloudy condensa-
tion of air" and which can be pro-
duced by steam jets, high or low tenn
perature Of the air. the increased num-
Der of dust nuclei, etc. In working
the koniscope the air is drawn into
the apparatus by means of . common
air pump, and quickly passes to the
test tubes. which are fitted with glass
at both ends. When the tube thus
charged is held toward the light vari-
GUS colors from pure white to nearly
black blue (according to the purity or
impurity Of the sample under test) are
indicated. The dust particles also
form IN important factor in these
tests, the variation in their number
causing the mirror to throw all the
colors Of the rainbow.-Chicego Times.

Don't Put 1t off.

The necessity of spring medicine is
universally admitted. This is the best
time of year in which to purify the blood,
to restore the lost appetite, and to build
up the entire system, as the body is now
peculiarly susceptible to benefit from
medicine. The great popularity attained
by Hoods Sarsaparilla. owing to its real
merit and it's remarkable success, has eS-
tablished it as the very best medicine to
take in the spring. 1t cures scrofula,
salt rheum, and all humors, biliousness,
dyspepsia, headache, kidney and liver
complaints, catarrh, and all affections
caused or promoted by low state of the
system or impure blood. Don't put it
off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla now.
1t will do you good.
