Air Ship is Now Being Built for the
Trip.

Maxim, superintendent of the CON
struction of the Atlantic & Pacific
Aerial Navigation company, announces
that the company now has in course Of
construction an air ship in which it is
expected to make the trip to the
Klondike.
He said: when everything necessa-
ry is on on board, the ship will weigh
5000 pounds, and we shall take on
board about one ton weight of paSsen-
gers and provisions. The dimensions
of the vessel will be: Cylinder SO feet
2 inches in diameter and 80 feet in
length; length of forward cone, so
feet; length of after cone 45 feet; total
length 1853 feet. The space occupied
viii be 1861 600 cubic feet.
THE prOpelling power will be a 16
horsepower naphtha engine which will
be made out of aluminium as far as
that metal can be used. and will weigh
complete 800 pounds. The gasoline will
be stored in tanks in the cases, which
will contain a sufficient quantity to
drive the vessel around the earth
without replenishing the tanks. The
skin of the ship will be double, and the
intermediate space will be filled with
hydrogen gas. This gas will be con-
fined in separate compartments and
will be in the upper part of the cylin-
der and in the cones.
we expect to attain a speed tof 100
miles an hour without straining our
vessel"
When finished it is estimated that
the ship will cost $4,000.

HEART DISEASE.
Some Facts Regarding the Rapid In
crease of Heart Trouble.
Do Not be Alarmed. But Look for the
Cause

Heart troubles, at least among Amer
leans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the
excitement and worry of American
business life, it is more often the re-
suit of weak stOmachs, of poor diges-
ton.
Real. organic heart disease is incur
able; but not one case in a hundred of
heart trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart
trouble and poor digestion is because
both organs are controlled by branches
of the same great nerves, the Sympa-
thetic and pneumOgastric.
In another way, also the heart is af-
fected by that form of poor digestion,
which causes gas and fermentation
from half digested food; there is a
feeling of oppression and heaviness in
the chest caused by pressure of the
distended stomach on the heart and
lungs interfering with their action;
hence arises palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood.
makes it thin and watery, which irri-
tates and weakens the heart
The most sensible treatment for
heart troubles is to improve the diges-
ton and to insure the prompt assim-
iIatiOn of food
This can best be done by the regular
use after meals. of some safe, pleasant
and effective digestive preparation like
StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets which NAV
be found at most drug stores and
which contain valuable, harmless d.
gestive elements, in a pleasant, con-
venient form.
Tt is safe to say that the regular.
persistent use of Stuart's DvspeDsia

The Burlington's New Observation
VestibuIed Trains.

A very handsome set OF wide obser-
walton Yestibuled trains are just out of
the BurlingtOn's shops. They are avail
able for all classes of travel and are
the only trains of their kind to St
Louis from the Missouri River. These
are the Denver, Missouri River and ST.
Louis limited trains. Every car has a
wide observation vestibule. The trains
are lighted throughout with Pintsch
gas and equipped also with standard
and compartment sleepers.
These trains are a duplicate of the
new Ell to Chicago.
This achievement reflects the high
est credit upon the Burlington man
agement in Missouri, which is the first
to introduce into the service, from the
west to St. Louis, these solid complete

CYCLING AND ASTHMA.
a London Physician Says. the Former Will
Cure the Latter


Cure the Latter
DIR, Marcel Of London. recommends
bicycle riding as remedy for asthma
Here is what he says about it in a LETT
ter to The Medical Record: eff asthma
is a form Of mountain sickness and if
that distressing affection of high alti.
tudes can be cured by training for the
exercise of climbing, why should not
asthma also yield to the training of the
respiration carried out by practicing the
respiratory movements needed to carry
the tidal air through the lungs? OF all
means Of training respiration I thinl,
cycling is the best. When a person first
takes a cycling exercise, it will be
found, especially ON going up hill. that
the breath is wanting, the heart heats
uncomfortably and the legs tire. but
AFTER training these discomforts disap-
pear, nothing will be thought of ascend
ing hills, the heart has become perfectly
comfortable, all breathlessness has dis
appeared and the legs will no longer
feel any fatigue.
Cycling exercise, first of all. in.
creases the depth of breathing, and that
without fatigue, as the respiratory
movements are automatic. At the same
time it will accustom the rider instinct.
lively to take i'll at each respiration the
volume OF air required to aerate the
blood. Persons who do not care for cv-
cling out Of doors can take the same
KIND OF exercise at home by means of a
dummy cycle, consisting of an iron
Wheel driven by pedals, the resistance
OF the wheel being so contrived as TO
simulate bicycle riding. A strap carried
partly around the rim of the wheel can
be frightened at will by the rider, thus
increasing the labor and recalling the
effort OF riding up hill. My experience
OF the results of this treatment is unfor-
tunately limited to only one person. In
this case 1t has proved eminentlv suc-
cessfuI. This person took to bicycle rid
ing three years ago for pleasure and in
very great moderation for the first two
years. He observed that the attacks Of
asthma to which he was subject became
fewer. The tightness and Wheeling
which occurred every night have now
entirely disappeared. +"
