Boston, April 22.-The failure of the
wool firm of ". D. Eaton G Co., in Sep
TENDER last, was recalled by a case
which was heard today in the Unity
Session of the Superior court, in which a
point of law isinvolved.
1t appears that when Eaton and Com
pany were in business, they received
shipments of WOOL from parties in Maine
and New Brunswick againstswhich drafts
were drawn, the drafts being accepted
by Eaton & Co, and discounted by the
Calais National bank, and ! the bank OF
Nova Scotia. AT the time of the failure,
Eaton and Company had on hand guam
titles of wool and the question before
the court is aswhether the assignee of
Eaton and Company can retain the pro
ceeds of that wool and apply it on &C
counts of drafts paid by Eaton and Com
pany. or whether the proceeds can be
reached by the banks.

Thunder Cloud when on visit to Wash
ington recently to see the Great White Chief
as the red men call the President, was paid
many attentions and shown the sights at the
Nations Capital When asked what sur

Chief of the Kickapoos startled his ques-
TONERS by replying, 1.-THE appalling number
of sudden deaths among you 'pale faces"
The truth of Thunder Clouds assertion
cannot be denied. Statistics show that yearly
thousands of people are suddenly stricken on
the street, in public places, at their desks,
and in their homes. Their deaths are
attributed to heart failure but if the truth
were known, impure blood, liver and kidney
disorders are what sever SO quickly the
thread of life.
How unlike are the people of today from
the Indians whose "one talent" was and is
to keep we'll, strong and able to endure the
most terrible hardships and privatons. For
years they kept the trail to health a secret.
Now, thousands are being cured of disease
by Indian remedies. The Kickapoos now

is obvious that very small, but peroep-
tible amount of time is required for the
bucket to tip far enough 10 out off the
inflow of water, and that any water flow
ing into the bucket nfter it has begun to
tip is in excess of that necessary to tip it.
Very accurate measurements have SHOWN
that the time required by the standard
bucket to tip from the starting point to
a point wheie the flow of water is cut
off is about three-tenths of a second. 1t
therefore follows that when the water is
flowing into the BUCKET at a rapid rate,
such, for example. as will fill the bucket
to the tipping point in six teconds, then
during the three-tenths Of second oo-
cup1eu in tipping, water will continHe to
flow into the bucket, and the excess
thus delivered will be about one-twenti-
eth OF the whole amount; that is. an
inch of rainfall Will cause the bucket to
tip only about $50 times, whereas Gh 9
amount of rain at slow rate would
cause the bucket to tip 300 times. The
discrepancy from this cause has been re-
duced as muuhch rs possible, it cannot
be entirely eliminated in the case of
small buckets, such, for example. as will
make 100 tips per inch of rainfall.
The apparatus design ned to record the
tips of the bucket is attached to the quad
ripple register in the office, SO that each
tip of the bucket at each one-hundredth
OF an inch of rain is correctly recorded on
the register in the observers Office below
