It's an old saying "The proof of the
pudding is in the eating of it, And it
is because people have taken Simmons
Liver Regulator that they know it to be
most excellent medicine and especially
for the Spring and Fall when there is so
much Malaria in the air. Mr.. w T. Lee,
OF Pendleton, n. G. saye, ST have used
Simmons Liver Regulator for twenty
years, in place of calomel and quinine. -
When you take Simmons Liver Regu-
lator this spring for your blood and for
malaria, be sure to note how well it
works, and how quickly you find your
selves improved in health and spirit.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

The human system can endure heat
of 212 degrees. a boiling point Of water,
because the skin is bad conductor, and
because the perspiration cools the body.
Men have withstood without injury a
heat Of 300 degrees for several minutes.
1t is not generally known that when
metal Is reduced to a very fine powder
1t will combine with the air upon mere
contact with that element, and oxidizes
SO rapidly that heat is sensibly pro-
.duced. Metal prepared in this way re-
quires only to be precipitated through
the air in a thin stream to take fire and
burn.
Kite flying, which used to be done for
fun. has arisen to the dignity of a scien-
titic experiment. Two sets of such ex-
periments are in progresS-one under
the direction Of the Weather Bureau at
Washington, and the other at Blue Hill,
near Boston. conducted by w. A. Eddy,
Of New Jersey. Not only do the expert
mentors send the kites Tip several thou
sand feet, but they send up cameras
with them, and get pictures of the land
scape from that altitude. The ~ostensi-
bic purpose of the scientific kite flying
Is to find out as much as possible about
the atmosphere and It's currents, bar
ometric curves, temperature and other
ingredients; but no doubt it is just as
good fun to fly a scientific kite as any
other sort. and no doubt the scientific

CLOUD Or SWALLOWS
Hundreds Of Thousands Of the Birds
lake Poesession of q Vessel.

Auudrcds OF ~Ous0nd OF the Blrdo
lake Possession of q Vessel.
The crew and passengers of a Russian
steamer, engaged in the Mediterranean
trade, recently had an experience that
will never be forgotten by them. A
storm Of swallows swooped down upon
the vessel and delayed it for many
hours.
The passage had been an unusually
stormy one, but this day was fine. Most
of the passengers were on deck. Sud-
denly a black cloud appeared in the dis
lance and moved toward them with ter
rife force. Everybody became fright
ened at the mysterious visitation. A
solution Of the mystery came shortly.
The vast cloud was composed of swal-
lows. The ~fOrerunnerS, a small detach.
ment of some 10000, swooped down on
IT, deck, to the bewilderment Of the
reople on board. These were soon fol-
lowed, not by thousands, but by hun
dreds OF thousands. The birds literally
overwhelmed the vessel. The man at
the wheel lost his bearings and the
widest disorder prevailed. The birds
poured into every available opening,
%hatchways, windows and everywhere
else. They got tangled in the ropes and
sails and clustered about the rigging.
Even the smokestackS We're so filed up
one time that the fires We're nearly ex.
tinguished. The most amazing part Of
the whole thing vas that the birds did
not evince any disposition to leave. To
heighten the confusion the steamer had
got out of its course and ran ashore.
However, on account Of going very
slowly, no material damage was done,
though the passengers were badly
frightened.
When the crew had recovered from
their amazement they began to clear the
deck aud the vessel in general Of these
unexpected and not at all welcome
guests. The captain ordered the men
10 use shovcls and whatever else they
could to throw the birds overheard.
After getting fairly in shape the vessel
proceeded OF its voyage, having been
delayed for eight hours on account OF
this singular experience. The captain
could not offer any theory as to where
the vast army Of swallows came from.
All he said was that the birds were OK
hausted from a long fight during the
storm of the previous day and sought
rest ID his vessel.

One gets an idea Of the magnificent
distances of the Cars realm from
learning that a Russian general who
was in 4 hurry to get to st. Petersburg
from Vla1ivostok found the time saw

steamer, thence by another steamer
acros the Pacific to San Francisco, by
rail to New York, and by steamer to

sections Of the Transsiberian Railroad

lLLI1ERACY IN THE NATION.
Percentage Now Greater in New
England than in the West.

England than in the West.
The report Of the Commissi oner OF
Education presents some curious and
eracy in the United States. This infor-
nation is derived mainly from official
records and deserves careful attention.
1t appears that the number of persons
over 10 years Of age who cannot read
and write is 1924, 7O2, or 1873 per cent.
of the total population, according to the
latest statistics. In 1850, the rate of
illiteracy was II per cent, and a de-
crease of 81 per cent since that time
is gratifying in the sense that implies
gradual Improvement, but the situation
is still lamentable, and no good citizen
can contemplate it without expert.
encing a certain degree OF, humiliation.
The government is based upon the
idea of popular intelligence as an as
surance Of political safety and prosper
ity. and vast sums Of money are ex-
pended for educational purposes. There
is really no excuse for ignorance in a
country where free schools abound and
instruction is within easy reach Of all
classes. Nevertheless, over thirteen
out of every 100 of the people are una
BILE to read and write. This great army
CT illlteracy Is a standing reproach, as
well as a menace, and there is no more
important duty than that Of reducing it
as rapidly as possible.
There was a time when New England
led all the rest of the country in tue
general average of popular intelligence,
but this Is no longer true. 1t is now IN
the West, and not in the East, that the
best showing is made Of the education
Of the masses Nebraska stands at the
head Of the States in point Of literacy,
only 81 per cent: Of its population be-
ing unable to read and write. No State
west Of the Mississippi River, with the
exception of the four Southern States,
ranks as low as Massachusetts, in the
number Of il~literates in it's population.
This means, of course-and the fact is
Il very significant one-that a large per-
centage OF the educated element Of the
East has removed to the West. thereby
materially modifying it's wild and
woolly" condition, and it means further.
more that the West has been doing q
great deal in the enlargement Of it's
educational facilities.
The public schools Of such States as
Minnesota, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska,
and the Dakotas are equal in every re-
spect to those Of any of the Eastern
States, and their academies and univer.
stiles are rendering effective service IN
the sphere of higher learning. So fal
as the South is concerned, allowance
must be made for the presence Of the
colored race, the illiterate members OF
which constitute nearly one-half Of the
total number Of illiterates in the United
States, but even with this serious draw.
back, the Southern States are making
substantial gains in education, and the
conditions promise al accelerntion OF
such progress from year to year.-Min
