II You Have . Sick Child This IL
Surely a Message of Hone.

This Is the best Of news for parents
OF weakly or sickly children. 1t Is a
fact that our people have heretofore not
had the same opportunity for having
their children who suffer from chronic or
lingering complaints treated and cured
by eminent specialists In chldren's dis
eases as do the residents of the great
cities where such skilled physicians re-
side. In other words. our people have
been debarred from seeking a cure for
their children by the great physicians.
owing to the cost Of travel to the large
city and the high fees charged by such
physicians.
Here. therefore. Is a chance for the
cure Of the children Of our community
which should not be lost DR.. Greene. of
30 west Fourteenth street, New York
city. who Is beyond doubt the most sue
cessful special in curing diseases OF
children, offers to give free consultation
by mail In all cases Of children's COM
plants. Parents have the privilege Of con-
sulting DR.. Greene by letter, describing
their children's diseases. and he will,
after carefully considering the symp-
toms. write letter fully explaining the
trouble. telling everything about their
complaint so plainly that you will under
stand exactly what ais your children. He
will also give his advice. founded upon his
vast experience and wonderful success
In treating such cases. as to just what TO
do to effect a cure. All this will cost you
nothing. and you can thus have CONSUL
tation with the best-known physician,
and acknowledged most successful spe-
clalist I'm the world. without leaving home.
and at no expense whatever. The Doctor
a.. the discoverer Of that greatest Of
ms(eicines. DIR. 0reene's Nervura blood
and\ nerve remedy. and has discovered
manA other most valuable remedies.
WrltSf1o him now about your child. for

seemed alone in unknown worlds
The night my sweetheart died
The stars hung In the tree-tops dark.
Her outbound soul to guide.
The wind strayed through the orchard

And Laughing down the stream
Came echoes OF a bird-song
Bewildered in q dream.
Alone I waited-unaware-
Close by the gate OF death,
While Heaven turned her face away,
And summer held her breath;
The drowsy roses cheek on cheek
Forgot the chilling dew.
The hours at their silent watch
Were undismayed and true;
TIL mornings shining horn at last
Blew earth awake again.
And found my heart a homeless waif
On foreign shores Of pain

In communication to the French
Academy Of Sciences an explanation is
given OF some Of the hitherto-unaccount-
able phenomena pertaining TO fog-horns.
1t has been found in regard to acoustic
signals or sirens. that they are surround
ed by a neutral zone. In which the sound
Is not heard at the sea-level--a zone more
or less distant. according to the height
Of the siren on the coast-and IL has
mean width Of about 400 feet. On the
nearer side Of this zone the
sound is, Of course. heard
perfectly. but when 1t is traversed
the sound weakens. gradually, until
1t becomes scarcely perceptible, when IL
increases again. and. on the zone being
left behind the sound resumes ats full in
vebsity Experiments have been made
on this line with a steam-vessel, by caus-
ing IL to approach or recede from light
ship In different directions and In a
straight line. In each course. according
to the account published. the sound was
deadened almost completely In a zone
whose central line was about 15,000 feet
from the siren.

Notes on Science and Industry.

The name and skill OF Herr Linde have
long been associated with inventions OF
refrigerating apparatus, the latest of his
achievements in this line being a device
which dispenses with the usual inter-
mediate cooling agents. relying. instead
upon initial compression by powerful en-
gines. and subsequent partial expansion
OF the compressed air under carefully
regulated conditions. Briefly. powerful
engine compresses air. which Is cooled
as far as possible by ordinary refrlgera-
ting methods, and passed into a spirally
coiled pipe. over one hundred yards long;
this pipe is enclosed in a second spiral,
and, by means OF a throttle valve at the
end Of the inner spiral, a certain pro-
portion of the compressed air Is allowed
to expand In the space between IL and the
outer pipe-the stream of compressed air
from the pump being thus cooled by that
portion which has been allowed to ex-
pand. and arriving at the throttle valve
in a colder state than the portion that
preceded 1t, so that consequently. it
reaches still lower temperature on ex-
pansion, cooling yet more powerfully the
advancing stream in the inner tube. BY
carrying this cumulative cooling effect
sufficiently far, the circulating air is at
last brought down to its critical point
and liquefies, after which a continuous
stream of liquid air is merely a question
of engine power. During the process the
air becomes steadily richer in oxygen.
until that gas forms some seventy per
cent. OF the product. So says the London
Times

was almost as important In the counsels
Of the robbers as the leader, proposed a six
months period Of total inaction as far as
that section of the country was concerned.
He argued that this would help to make
the railroad men believe that there were
only two in the gang and that the capture
and conviction of the one had dishearten-
ed the remaining thief. His counsel pre-
vailed, and the wounded man was sent to
a safe place to recover from the effect of
the detectives pistol shot. The leader and
his pals returned to the city and did
odd jobs of roguery for awhile and at last
reassembled, one by one, at the farmhouse
One rainy night in November they made
another raid ON the railroad. A large haul
of valuable goods was the result, and the
railroad company was electrified at the au-
dacity of the conspirators. Again and
again nat intervals they mounted the cars,
broke the seals and threw out goods, some
times ut one point and sometimes at an
other. The policy was TO rob two trains
on one night if possible and then wait a
week or ten days and loot a single train
and never to select the same spot, and vet
their district covered only about % miles
The road was double tracked, and they got
trains coming and going.
But the road detective was on his met
tie now, and one of the men was nipped
after being twice shot at one rainy night
After promises of immunity from punish
ment if he turned states evidence he
gave up the secrets of the gang, revealed
their methods, hiding place, mode of dis
posing of the stolen property, and, in short,
made a clean breast of the whole matter.
The leader when he leaped from the cars
on that night Immediately fed for the
farmhouse and was very much disturbed
to know of the capture. The first member
of the gang who had been caught was a
man who could be depended upon never to
.'squeal," but this second man was not so
reliable.
A hurried consultation that night result
ed in an arrangement to scatter in differ
