Deafness Cannot ne Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the
mucous lining OF the Eustachian Tube,
When this tube Is infiamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed, deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
famed condition OF the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of deafness Caused by catarrhl
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

the main floor were thousands OF people
packed in as tightly as possible.
DR.. Depew rose from his seat and reaC
the message. At 1886 p. m. Mr.. Chandle,
commenced sending 1t over land lines
across the continent to San Francisco anc
backto Canso, Nova Scotia, where it took
cable for London. just four minutes later
Mr.. Edison's key clicked, and London an,
nouDcsd that the message lad been re-
ceived and started on ito long journey
eastward. There was great cheering al
this time, and the firing OF cannon an
nounced that such quick telegraphing had
never been known before.
Then there came q longer wait for the
message to reach Toxic, Japan, its far
thsst eastern point, and come back again.
Dr. Depew filled the time with his mas
terful Grafton upon electricity's future
4 TheIWestern Union Telegraph company
had taken the same message, and General
Manager G. A. Tinker, sitting at the OPP
posite end OF the building, started In on q
South American tour to reach points un-
touched by the longer route He COM
menced sending at 1888 p. m. and in eleven
and one half minutes received the same
words back again, after 10000 mile jour-
ney. The line ran first to Los Angeles,
then to Galveston, City OF Mexico, Valpa-
raiao, Buenos Ayres, Pernamhuco, across
the Atlantic to Lisbon, and then back to
New York by way OF London.
DR.. Depew had finished his speech and
Mr.. Edison sat waiting at his sounder. At
9;25, Just fifty minutes from the start. the
instrument clicked. Mr.. Edison answered
ready, and the graphic words OF DR.. De.
pew, without the slightest change, even to
the punctuation, came over the wire after
q Journey of ~ 800 miles.
Mr.. Edison then wrote on the regular
cable messages blank OF the Postal compa-
ny with pen which he dipped in the ink
every few seconds. His copy was legible
and good. He did not break once or hesl-
tate over a letter, although it has been
many years since he was known as the
crack operator.
The cannon at the building doomed and
the crowd cheered for the successful ac-
complishment Of the greatest feat in long
distance telegraphy. The message after
leaving London went to Lisbon, Suez,
Alden, Bombay, Madras, Singapore, Hong
Kong, Shanghai, Nagasaki and Toxic, re-
turning by the same route to New York.

While the messages were on their trav-
els great glass arrow hanging over each
of the instruments flashed blue etheric
light, indicating the direction and the ar.
rival at important points. Everywhere
about the exhibition there were dazzling
lights. In Mr.. Edison's booth of myster-
les the faint fluoresence from his X ray
lamp was the only illumination. Not far
away hundreds OF bulbs glowed in many
colored brilliancies."

The Fate of q Message,

and when close to the south shore
sent off two boats in search OF seals.
On this occasion Il of the boats,
being swamped in the surf, was i'm
mediately crushed against the rocks,
its G having a rather narrow es
cape from drowning. Ono of the
men fought bravely in the breakers
for half an hour, without relinquish-
ing his grasp on his rifle.
With scrupulous care we now
composed a letter upon which each
of US carefully inscribed his sigma
ture. Having placed it in a small
bladder which had been given to us
for the purpose by the Norwegian
consul in Melbourne, we consigned
it to the waves and leaned over the
bulwarks to see the mail depart.

Fireless Locomotives.

On the line of railway from the
heart of the city of Marseilles to the
metropolis in the quarter of ST.
Pierre. a little less than two miles
long, about 2 ,400 feet of which con-
stitute a tunnel, fireless locomotives
are employed, these consisting of a
cylindrical receiver charged with
warm water at a maximum pressure
of 227 $40 pounds per square inch.
AT the end of a run, as stated in The
Railroad Gazette, this drops from 43
pounds to II pounds, and the water
is then reheated to 203 degrees c.,
corresponding to 227 $40 pounds of
pressure, by steam from the gener-
ators at the central station. The
cylindrical warm water receiver is
10 feet by $40 feet, holding $50
gallons and about 21 cubic feet of
steam. The steam from the genera
tors is equally distributed through
out the warm water by mean of
properly arranged pipes and is con.
densed after being used in the cylin-
ders in a condenser over the receiver
consisting of 1,154 tubes with Il cool

dian tobaggancrs, probably because
the pastime with them is hardly
moro than the original means of To-
comotion it provided for the Indians,
and competition in speed was never
q successful possibility. The prinli-
tive Swiss coaster was destined to a
far shorter supremacy when put to
the keen tests Of the racing that de-
veloped it. Men 500 got all that
was possible in the way of speed ont
of sitting on a wooden framework
balanced upon fat iron bars. And
Mr.. l.. p. Child of New York sup
piled the want by producing in the
winter of 1887 an American "'clipper
sled,' which beat every rider in
Dayos out of sight. whether native
or imported. He rode it lying head
first on his side, steering with one
m~occasined foot swinging out be-
hind, after the method familiar on
the cnuteS OF Montreal.
Owing to local prejudice and hab-
it, this head first position had not
penetrated to Switzerland till long
after it had been well known else
where. But even the introduction of
the new position was not SO essen
tial an advance as Was the long
spring runner of Mr.. Child's ma
chine. by mean of which steering
was made far more accurate and
easy than with the old fat runner
of the ''schlit:li.' Mr.. e. Cohen,
another American, by winning the
best ace at ST. Moritz, sitting on
n of the new clipper sleds, proved
c~onclusively the merits of the right
machine, even when it was ridden
in the wrong way, and showed that

In a country which is equal to
the united are of Great Britain,
France, Germany, AUSTRIA Hun
gary, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Bel
GUM, Holland and Greece, and
whose population is made up of ma
tives from all these countries and a
few more, one finds every sort of
life and many strange customs. The
city of Buenos Ayres, the first in
South America, is a great capital
full of stirring life. It is not beauti-
full in itself or its surroundings. The
shops are good, and you can buy
anything you want if you care to
pay a heavy price. English people,
on tho whole, seem to find the life

HumOrs of War.

Some stories told in the history of
Easrport, Ne, show that the Eng
lish officers of the garrison, after the
town was taken in the war OF 1912,
were ready to see fair play.
The provincial marshal was sent
from Halifax at this time to arrest
citizens of Eastport who were bonds
men for the custom house official.
The men thus threatened had friends
among the British officers, who felt
the injustice of the steps to be taken
and gave them a timely hint of their
danger.
The officer who had charge of the
duty Of fitting up apartments for
their accommodation significantly
asked the marshal. who busted him
self with forming plans to insure
success, whether he had "everheard
how the Yankees cook q dolphin"

"Woll, then, I'll tell you. They

After the return of the marshal to
Halifax ono of tho refugees returned
openly and i'll fact was known by
the British officers to occupy his
house. He was not disturbed in his
pursuits, though an officer would
sometimes say as he passed his
dwelling:
