Military BaIlooning.

For many years past the attention
of our military authorities has been
given to the development Of aeronau-
tics in connection with warfare. For
merly experiments were chiefly car
ried on at Woolwich, but in course Of
time a distinct section Of the army,
called the Balloon Section, was created,
its headquarters being at Aldershot.
This section has recently been on duty
at the artillery ranges at Okehampton
and Lydd, under command Of Captain
Heath, r. f., but having completed its
duties it has now returned to head
quarters. The operations at Okehamp-
ton We're chiefly directed to the obser-
walton of the horse and field artillery
practice while at Lydd attention was
given to the effects Of experiments with
siege guns and various forms of explo
sives against bombproof and other
buildings. The weather frequently in
terfered with the observations, and ex-
perience shows that a captive balloon
is of little service for military purposes
with the wind at a strength of over
twenty miles an hour. On the whole
however the results attained are con-
sidered to be satisfactory. In observ-
ing with a captive balloon the cable
which is steel wire rope, is paid out
from a reel mounted on a wagon, the
hight of ascent varying from 500 feet
to 1000 feet. according to requirement
Communication between the observer
and the ground is effected either by tel
ephone or by the message from the car
being placed in a weighted bag and slid
down the wire rope. Another method

carried out at Aldershot, is from a free
balloon. This method, however, is only
applicable where the ascent and de-
scent can be made in a friendly coun-
try or from besieged places. with the
view of communica ton with the outer
world over the heads Of the besiegers.
The principle is Of course limited in ap-
plication, and to our mind of doubtful
utility, and is not likely to be very gen.
orally made use of in actual practice

CARE OF THE TEETH.
A Few Hints on an Important Sub

DR.. I. w. Snowden Of this city writes
as follows to the "Record-Union'
Our personal appearance and good
health depend in great measure upon
sound or healthy teeth.
The first set of teeth are called mink
teeth. They are twenty in number. 1t
is wisdom for parents to let them re-
main in the mouth Of the child as long
as possible
The second set of teeth are thirty
two in number, and are called the per-
manent teeth
The crown is the visible portion OF
the tooth; the neck is the part within
the gum; and the fang, is the root,
which sets in the alveolar process The
pulp contains nerves and vessels, the
dentine consists of microscopic tubes,
through which the pulp penetrates to
nourish and give it sensitiveness and
health. In the solid substance OF the
tooth there is only two per cent. fluid,
the balance is as hard as flint.
AS the teeth contain silicate of lime
and other alkalis they are readily acted
upon by vinegar and other acids.
The design of the teeth is to cut, bite,
chew and grind the food, and thorough

and prepare it for digestion.
The teeth indicate that we are an
omniverous animal, and should live on
vegetable and animal diet, both being
necessary for great strength and long
life
The teeth are chemically the hardest
part of the bony structure, and should
be the last to decay.
credit that the Americans have the
worst teeth and the best dentists in
the world.
When we suffer the loss of our teeth
they should be replaced by artificial
teeth.
When tooth is fractured it should
be either rebuilt or extracted. The ir-
ritarion caused by its friction on the
tongue has induced cancer of the
mouth.
A few years ago the body of Ramesis
II, the Pharoah who knew not
JOseDh"-was discovered, and taken to
a museum in London.
He has been dead over 5000 years,
yet his teeth are as solid and well pre-
served to-day as when he reigned in
Egypt
PhillO OF Macedon-33S years before
Christ-met the Athenians at Chaero-
MIA, put them to flight and crushed the
liberties of Greece.
A mound of earth marked the place
where three hundred Theban warriors
We're buried.
Recently their remains were exhumed
and their teeth were found to be in a
state Of excellent preservation.
1t would be a difficult task to find
three hundred men in the United States
army with perfectly sound teeth.
Decayed teeth are injurious in many
ways. They prevent thorough masti-
cation of the food, and lay the founda-
tion for dyspepsia, headache and blood
poison.
DR.. Ure says: 'Vaccinating a person
with the carries of a diseased tooth Will
bring Gu pyaemea or blood poison"
Decayed teeth make the breath bad.

Briefly, Mr. Mcdowell comes to town
and asks as a privilege that he be per-
mittcd TO abate violent nuisance of
long standing lilo proposes % take the
polluting manufacturers waste and re.
move il out Of the way and beyond fur
ther discussion and concern. Moreover i'm

a good one all around for Mr.. Mcdowell is
not to be understood as boing a philan-
thropist going about the country rcliov-
ing municipal corporations OF their trou-
blcsome problems. lie considers that the
manufacturers waste is valuable and
that he can make good profit on his in
vestmcnt if the manufacturers can be
induced TO let him have their waste TO
treat instead of polluting the city streams
with IL.
We believe that at least one OF our local
manufacturers utilities his own waste
But plant for such purpose is not com

The utilization of the waste of IA single

MARTIN HEARING.
Chairman Of Boston Police Board wiz
stapd by His Scapegrace SON.

Boston. April 1-it was a succession
OF sensations yesterday at the opening
day OF the hearing on the charges
duct OF General a. i. Martin. chairman
OF the board OF police commissioners.
Massachusetts has not had a hearing
for many "A year that has excited so
much public interest as has this one. The
importance OF the case is best cmpha-
sized by the personnel OF the tribunal.
FOR no other Than his eXcellency the
governor. Lieutenant Governor Murray
Crane and Messrs. n. +. Ryder and A.
J. Joslin of the governors council are
the investigators.
Il propose 10 stand by my sons until
death was the statement made by the
general which caused probably the great
est sensation, especially coming as IL
did after his admission that he knew
that his son, Everett. had accepted
$1,000 from an Italian, promising therefor
10 use his influence in procuring for him
"a license though the general also said
that as soon as he had heard OF IL he
told his son that he must pay the money
hack and keep his hands off in uae
future.
And then there was the testimony of
young Martin himself. admitting that
he had received money from people who
supposed him TO have influence, or In
other words. o pull" with his father,
the understanding being that he should
procure for them the longed-for license.
But perhaps the most extraordinary
statement OF ell made by young Martin
was when he testified that he had $1,000
deposited IN some other mans name, apd
he swore that he did not remember the
mans name or the name OF the bank, or
the street on which the bank was To-
Gated though he said he had called at
the bank at one time.
