INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form Ct
female weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are re-
ceived, opened, read, and answered by
women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal
confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and
the women of America which has never
been broken. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw
from, it is more than possible that she
has gained the very knowledge that
will help your case. She asks nothing
in return except your good will, and
her advice has relieved thousands,
Surely any woman. rich or poor, is very
foolish If she does not take advantage
Of this generous offer Of assistance.

Maryelous InYantion,

The Rev. A. c. Ferguson has added
another marvel to the wonders Of the
nineteenth century. 1t is an apparatus
by which he photographs sound waves,
and then by using the plates repro
.duces the sounds with their original
tone. He calls his machine the lighto-
phone, as distinguished from the
photograph and graphophone of Ber-
liner and Edison respectively. The in
vention is distinctly new, in that the
reverend doctor has succeeded in pre-
serving the sound vibrations by means
of the photograph and restoring them
to the air with the plates. Like all
other inventions Of this kind, the ap-
paratus is exceedingly simple. It con-
sists of two disks, seven inches in
diameter, revolved by the ordinary
crank Of mechanics. One of the disks
is horizontal. It is the recorder. The
other is revolved perpendicularly. It is
the reproducer. On the upper side of
the recording disk is clamped a SEN
sitter plate. Level with it is fixed a
vibrating diaphragm. This shutter ex-
cludes the light from the plate until
it is spoken into. Then it vibrates, and
the plate records the light and sound
vibrations together at the rate of 1000
per second. AS the disk turns the
sounds r photographed as a continu-
Gus curving line. A print is made from
the negative, and is fixed upon the re-
producing disk. The process now re-

A Wonderful Work.

The new railroad bridge over the
Danube river, which has Just been COM
pleted, is the largest in the world, and
one Of the most important, and the
Roumanian government is enjoying its
possession with a well earned senti.
ment Of complacent pride. The new
bridge is 1926 feet long without an.
proaches, which would make som hun
dreds of feet additional. The largest
vessels that sail the Danube can pas,
under it at the highest tide. 8 the low
er rafters of the sup%erstructure are 105
feet above high water mark. Some
idea Of the length Of this bridge may
be gained by comparison with the 9TH
or great bridges Of the world. The Tay
bridge, Scotland, is 10,725 feet: the Mis-
sissippi bridge at Memphis 10000 feet:
the Forth bridge, Scotland. 1880 feet:
the Morody bridge in Galacia. $500
feet. and the bridge ove the volga
near, sysran. 400 feet. The Danube
bridge has one span Of $40 feet and
fcuro Of 456 feet each.

Easy Way Of Removing Paint.

Some years ago the sand blast, as a
means of removing paint and varnish,
was suggested, but seemed to attract
but little attention. Latterly the de-
mand for some apparatus that will
accomplish this purpose has been SO
imperative that experiments are being
made with sand blasts at forty or fifty
pounds pressure. Thus far the idea
seems to work admirably, and it is now
confidently believed that this will be
the means resorted to in the future for
doing this work. Another use of the
sand blast is suggested as a cleaning
method for wood Of all sorts and for
stone. The sand under heavy pressure
cutting against stone work would re-
move dust and dirt from crevices that
ordinary scraping and rubbing would
never reach. The most perfect success
ia anticipated from the employment Of
this means.

Experinants with Fax.

So much mas been said about the
Bauer process of retting fax that tests
have been made to determine the rela-
tive value Of this and the old-fashioned
hand process. 1t is claimed that while
the Bauer methods give a lar
ger percentage Of finished ibres, It
lacks the gloss and beautiful softness
of that prepared by hand. OF course,
for many purposes the Bauer method
will give very satisfactory results, but
for the finer grades of linen, where
quality is the important point, a Ger
tain amount of hand-prepared fibre
must be depended on until the process
is further perfected. Flax grown in
various localities was selected for the
experiment and portions of it were
sent to other places to be finished. The
figures give 81 to GA per cent for the
machinery-dressed fax and that done
by hand labor about So to Sc per cent.

guides are in constant requisition, these
too must be conveniently placed. There
can be found a receptacle for all these
things designed to stand upon the hall

The servants preparing the carriage
