HUNG IN MIDAIR.
The Perilous Plight of Soldier in Chi ES nese Thibet.

The Perilous Plight of a Soldier in Chi ES nese Thibet.
 E An amusing story is told of the Eng fish officer who determined to enter Chinese Thibet by stratagen. He man. aged to cross the frontier at night, and so escaped the guard.
 On the following day, however, while the officer was journeying deeper into Thibet, the Thibetan soldiers overlook him, and informed him that as the country was unsafe because of rob- bers, they would go with him in order to protect him, to which arrangement the traveller was compelled to agree. In a few hours they came to a river, which was crossed by a rope bridge. t The Thibetans passed over first, in or der to show that the bridge was safe, and then the official got into the moose and was pulled along by the Thibetans, Suddenly, however, they ceased pull ing, and left the Englishman hanging in midair above the rushing torrent.
 In vain the officer shouted to the Thibetans to pull. They merely smoked and nodded their heads. The hours passed, and still the officer hung above the torrent. At last the Thibetans agreed to pull him back if he would leave Tibet immediately. This, of course, he was compelled to do, and took his departure from the forbidden land

ANOTHER ICE PERIOD.
A Predicted Result of Cutting the Isthmus
 of Panama,

of Panama.
 "The best scientific authorities pre- dict dire effects from the cutting of a canal through either the Isthmus of Panama or Tehuantepec. The late George R. Marsh said of this that a new ice period might be occasioned by the withdrawal of so important source of warmth from the northern zones, and Sir John Hersehel wrote: Were the Isthmus of Panama broken through there is no doubt that the whole climate of our island Great Britain) would un- dergo a most notable deterioation.' The sum of $9,000,000 has been voted by the legislature of the state of New York for improving the Erie canal sys- tenn; the Hennepin canal has had $1,- 100000 spent on it, and work has stopped until new appropriations can be made. Matt Quay is using his influence for the construction of ship canal from Pitts burgh to Lake Erie, to cost SIG, 100000, and a ship canal from Philadelphia to New York, besides advocating the eX- penditure of $50 ,O00, GOO in canalizing the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. One of'the most stupendous of these engineering works is the Chicago drainage canal, now in progress, which is to cut the divide which bars the way between Chicago and the Mississippi river. The distance is only 30 miles between Lake Michigan and the Illinois river, and one can easily see the startling nature of union of the great lakes and the father of waters.'"

Nature Paints of Negroes.

Nature Paints of Negroes.
 F A writer in Progress Artistique, il. discussing the music of south Africa, says the races living there possess to an astonishing degree the faculty of assimilation and imitation. They re- produce with surprising fidelity the songs of birds, cries of animals and the various sounds of nature. Child people, they receive in their otherwise obtuse brains impressions of freshness and vivid intensity. Their long solitary wandering upon hills and prairies, unit ed with f1eeting association with for eigners, results in species of melodic nature plaints, as one might imagine, a developed monkey music.

A Pathetically Humorous Story Told Of
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer.

A II
 Cumberland Mountain Farmer. ! A writer in the Detroit Free Press tells a pathetically humorous story of a friend of his, Jack Negly, Cumber. land farmer. The writer had lent Jack a few dollars, with which to buy pair of steers, and had received from him many visits of apology; for Jack was an honest man, and did not enjoy being in debt.
 He was a renter, and at least every other season he was occupying diff ferent farm. By my advice, he had moved the year before into an entirely new field, dozen miles from his usual haunts, and I had not seen him for several months. When I did see him, at last, it was by accident as business called me into his neighborhood. As I rode past his place he hailed me from the corn-feld and came out to the fence.
 "Hello," I exclaimed. "Is this your farm?'
 "Yes, and I jist come over to tell you, colonel, that I'll be ready to pay part of that claim uv your'n afore long," <
 "You must be doing well?''
 q think I'm doing fust-rate, and I'm powerful obleeged to you, colonel, fer headin' me this way" !
 "Tm always glad to help, if I can."
 q knowed that, colonel, and that's why come away over here so fer frum home. Hits kinder strange to me, but ez long ez I'm doin' ez well ez I am I'm a-goin' to stand hit"
 Are you making any money?"
 Jim's face frightened perceptibly.
 'No, I ain't, colonel" he replied, hope fully; but I'm losin' it slower'n ever done in my life afore."
 It struck me as rather odd at first, but upon reflection I concluded that Jim might have reason for his hopefulness.

Converting Gases Into LIQUIDS.

1t is only very recently, say within
the last three or four years. that the
convertibility Of gases into liquids and
solids has been practically accomplish
ed. Such feats in physics and chemistry
are now well understood, as is the prac
tical application Of the solidifying force.
The experiment Of Professor Dewar Of
England along that line in 1923 at.
tracted the attention of the scientists of
the world. He gave many demonstra-
tions of his power over the "ethereal,
yet unruly elements, and was the first
to liquefy and then freeze gas. In
1928 Faraday proved the fact that some
gases could be liquoiicd under pressure.
but, rs Professor Dorcmus declares,
simple pressure is insufficient in the
cases of many Of the other gases, intense
cold must rob such gases Of their latent
heat before liquefaction takes place,

entists have not always understood how

why the Dollar of 1904 1. Rare.

There arc two stories regarding
tho rarity of tho silver dollar OF
1904, the most generally accepted
one being tho ono which accounts
for the scarcity by saying that thoy
were sent to Africa to pay the sol
diers engaged in war between TINS
country and Tripoli. There were on
ly 10, $40 of them coined Another
version of the story which accounts
for their rarity is that a yessel

From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
With all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paving out large sums for doctors
ices and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or a great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable. with their stereotyped RENE
dies Of potash and mercury, TO cure
diseases of the blood. direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms Of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, etc, is but a SUI
perficial and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect a cure.

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West
;. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its torturcs.
She says:
"For years | was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that | ever
heard of. | was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming TO cure the disease, but in-
stead of being benefited my condi-
tion grew worse steadily.

but some idea of the ravagcs of the
disease can be obtained when | state
that all the inside of my nose, inciud-
ing part of the bone sloughed off. II
can be readily understood how offen-
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became. When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me i would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. $. S., l determined TO
try 1t as a last resort. soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only a blood remedy

once, and grew better as / continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment / was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years

Catarrh is one of the deep-scated
blood diseases, and only a thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is Guaranteed
