Re lizing that three -fOrths of all our sufferings arise from stomach troubles that the country is literally filled with people who cannot eat and digest food without subsequently, suffering pain and distress, and that many are starving, be- cause their food does them no good, they have devoted much study and thought to the subject, and the result is this discovery of their Digestive Cordial.

streat 6yIeanInr Tn Paris.

IL was with especial interest that l made my first examination of the streets of Paris, for I remem bered them as be- ing in excellent condition in 1889 (ex- position year).
 After close and careful examination I should say that they are quite as we'll swept as our streets, and that there is nowhere to be found the defective pave ment, of which we have so much. In the matter of litter, however, l think that New York is much better cared for, ex- cept in the more frequented show streets, and, to certain extent even there, there is more paper scattered, and ill many parts of the town much less attention seems to be paid to it's collection and removal. On the whole, think we lose nothing in the comparison. New York is as clean and at least as tidy as Paris. The methods of work in the French cap itaI are in many respects different from what was found in other cities and very different from the methods here.
 In 1859 the cleaning of the streets was transferred from the prefecture de police to the prefecture de Ia Seine, and it was then placed i'll the hands of the engineering department. The cost at that time could not be learned, but the cost in 1872 was 3,8O8, 900 francs; in 1877 it was 4,61S, 900; in. 1889 it was 6,59O, ,00O. It is now about 5000 900 francs Formerly it was the duty of all property owners to clean one-half of the street if this did not exceed six meters (2O feet). This work is now done by the city and is paid for by a special tax on the property, which, for this purpose. is divided into three classes-that occupied CD by buildings, (2) by walls or open grounds, (4) by vacant lots. In no case is the charge more than the actual cost to the city In some cases it is materially less Property holders must still remove snow and ice from the sidewalks, &C., cording to specific regulations liar per's Weekly

the manufacture of explosives, to have

der. This recipe is quoted by Albertus
Magnus, and another one, not so clear,
is given by Roger Bacon. None of these
writers, however, speaks of the use of
such substances in any way like the fir
ing of projectiles from guns. On the
contrary, they all describe crackers and
bombs or maroons, and say that these
were discharged into towns from bal
liste or catapults or mangonels for the
purpose of setting fire to them.
Mr.. Guttmann has found, however, in
the wardrobe accounts of King Edward
III of England an entry between A. ID.
1345 and 1349 giving credit to one
Thomas of Roldeston for the kings work
for his guns, for 9l2 pounds of saltpeter
and $50 pounds of live sulphur This
seems to confirm the tradition that guns
were used by the English at the battle
of Crecy i'll 1916. Mr.. Guttmann decides
that Berthold Schwartz invented this
use of gunpowder about 1913. If so,
Schwartz must have been very young at
the time or else have lived to very
great age, for the date of his death is
given as 1884. Popular Science Month

There still remains to be considered
what must be regarded as the main
problem in dealing with all famines,
and that is the conveyance of the neces-
sary amount Of supplies to the districts
where they are required. Hitherto il
has been the impossibility of bringing
FOOD within reach of the starving null
tltudes that has caused so much destruc-
ton to human life during previous, fam
ines, for 1T is evident that animal trans
port can only convey the necessary pro-
visions very short distance from the
centers OF supply, inasmuch as the
beasts of burden, after certain amount
of travel, will themselves have con-
sumed their entire load. The great
stand by under such circumstances is
railway communication, for without it
the most strenuous efforts of human en-
ergy and human ingenuity will prove
OF no avail when, as is now the case,

Ants as Guests of Plants.

The ants which are really protective
TO plants are not those which obtain
their food Indirectly for the most part
through the aphides) from the vegeta-
BILE kingdom, but those which are real
ly carnivorous. These are numerous in
temperate climates, and their useful
ness to agriculture and sylviculture is
incontestable. Thus the field ant is a
great insect destroyer. A nest of this
species is capable of destroying as many
as 20 caterpillars and grasshoppers a
minute, or 1000 an hour, and such a
colony is at work day and night during
the pleasant season. In the arid plains
of America the beneficent work of ants
is revealed in the isles of verdure around
their hills.
There are plants hospitable to ants.
which furnish them shelter and often
food, within the cavities Of which the
instincts of the ants prompt them to
take their abode. This is the case with
several ferns, among them the Polypo-
dunn nectariferum, the sterile fronds of
which bear hectares on their lower face
and are, moreover, of shape favorable
to sheltering the insect. Professor M.

principal products are peanut oil for
