The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure known to the medical fraternity.
Catarrh being constitutional disease,
requires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood and mu-
cous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting ma
ture in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.

A Wonderful Telescope.


Great interest was manifested at the re-
cent meeting of the British Royal lnsti-
tuition in the new field-glssses and stereo-
telescopes shown by the Zeiss works at
Jena. These instruments possess remark
able features different from anything pre-
viously known. The objects sought In
their design are a. to obtain consider
ably larger field than that possessed by an
opera-glass of similar magnifying power,
without the use of ordinary telescope
eyepieces and (2) to enhance the stereo-
scopic effect of the.images seen through
the telescopes by placing the obiect-gl glasses
of the binocular farther apart than the in
terocular distance of the eyes, or that OF
the eyepieces.
Two types of glasses are made-6eld
glasses, with magnifying powers from four
to eight diameters, and stereo-binocular
telescopes, with powers Of eight TO ten
diameters.
In the stere o-binoeular telescope the OBJ
iect glasses can be moved through a wide
range. They can be put so far apart side
ways that it is possible to stand behind a
good-sized tree, with a glass at each side
OF it, the observer being thus hidden
while he clearly sees all before him. Also
ii is possible TO put the two object-glasses
close together and look over wall which
is higher than the observer himself. The
value of this arrangement in military
matters is too obvious to need mention.
1t is the realization of the Irishman's ideal
OF seeing round the corner. A theater
glass, made on this principle, would be
much appreciated when large hats are IN
fashion with ladies.

Novel Electric Railway.

James H. McGurty of Jersey City, n. j.,
is the inventor of an elevated electric rail-
way system calculated TO transport mail
and express matter at nigh speed and
still be unoer the control of operators at
the different stations it passes.
The car travels on two tracks. 1t is sus-
pended from one and rests upon the other,
both OF them being attached to brackets
on poles. Above the car is a current wire
and trolley wheel that carries the electric
fluid to the motors within the car
series of electro magnets keeps the
brakes tight against the wheels when
there is no current on the wire. When
the current is turned on the brakes are au-
tom atlcally unset and the car starts off
In front of stations there are switches
which make it possible to throw the cur
rent out OF certain sections of the trolley
wire. When the ear runs into this dead
circuit, the brakes close automatically
and bring it to a standstill.

10 Clean Sims, Bottoms.

Patrick Reilly of Philadelphia. Pa, is
the patentee of an apparatus calculated to
save ship-owners many big drydock fees.
1t is intended to clean a vessels bottom
while she is lying at anchor, whether
loaded or unloaded. The contriYance con-
sists of double flexible frames made to
conform to the curvature of the vessels
hull. Mounted within each Of these is an
endless train of cleaning brushes, in
tended to travel from one end of the
flexible frame to the other. The brushes
are driven by chain, to which
motion is communicated by sprocket
wheel at the upper end of the frame.
Power, of course, can be produced either
by steam engine, for large vessels. or an
ordinary crank, turned by couple of
men. for small vessels.
To use this apparatus, it is adjusted
beneath the vessel at the bow. The
brushes are put in motion and travel down
the side of the vessel to the keel, where
they make turn TO the outside of the
frame and return to the top again. to re-
peat the motion. While this is going on,
the frame is slowly moved toward the
stern until the whole under portion of the
vessel is scrubbed off.
