POINTS OF SUPERIORITY:

No other Electric Belt has it. When
you have placed the Belt on the BODY
and feel the powerful current penetrat-
ing your system you adjust it's strength
by turning to right or left small
screw attachment, setting the current
at any desired force, and you can then
ENJOY restful, quiet sleep without be-
ing awakened in the middle Of the
night by a sensation which makes YOU
imagine you are being electrocuted.
Those who have used the oId-style belts
know what this is, and hundreds who
nave discarded them are now being
peacefully restored to health and
strength by DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt.

wearer Immediately after charging and
applying to the body.
1T CURES.
DIR. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT

ELECTRIC POWER.

DIR. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT
generates double the power of any
other Electric Belt made. The ar
rangement Of the metals is upon the
most approved scientific basis; the Vol
taic piles, being quadruple, so as to
bring out steady, powerful current;
perfectly insulated, so that, different
from all other belts, the full force of
the current is conducted into the weak
ened system in a continuous life giving
stream. 1t gives tone and energy to
the nervous system and all it's de-
pendent organs. AS Electricity is
life" DR.. Sanden's Electric Belt is the
modern life-giver.
DURABILITY.
DIR. SANDEN'S ELECTRIC BELT
is positively guaranteed for one year.
Every belt broken Or by any circum-
stance, whether the fault Of the belt or
the wearer having lost it's curative
powers of electricity within one year,
is replaced with a new one at no ex-
pense to the wearer. If DIR. Sanden's
Belt was twice its present cost it would
still be cheap, as no other appliance
made can be sold with this guarantee.

Measuring the Earth,

The longest distance ever encompassed
by the human vision, so far as the rec.
ords go, is 1873 miles, between the Uncum-
pahgre peak in Colorado and Mount Ell
len in Utah. This feat was accomplished
by the surveyors of the United States
Coast and Geodetic survey, who are now
engaged, in conjunction with represen-
tatives of other nations, in making a new
measurement of the earth. The observers
on the Pacific coast have been able to
signal from Mount Shasta to Mount
He!era, distance of 1870 miles, but have
never been able to get response. Be
tween the two other peaks communic;l-
ton has been continuous for an hour or
more on several occasions. The Uncom-
pahgre is 1890 feet in height. while
Mount Ellen is 13,4OO feet. The longest
distance that the human eye ever reached
until this record was made was between
Algiers and Spain, 1873 miles. The meas
uring of the earth. which is now going
on, is no simple task. The width Of the
ocean can only be ascertaincd by astro-
nomical observations. The observers at
Greenwich and at Washington note each
night the exact moment of the rising of
certain stars, and then, by mathemat ical
calculations. turn the difference in time
into distance. This is corrected and cor
roborated by other observations, upon
other stars. and by Il series of expert
ments. which furnish al average that is
approx mately accurate. The difference
is seldom more than a small fraction of :,
second and is attributed to atmospheric
phenomenal The Pacific ocean is meas
ured in Il similar manner by Joint observa-
lions with the Lick telescope in Califor-
MIA and that of the Imperial university of
,JaDan at Toxic.

An Extraordinary Migration.

One Of the greatest mysteries to scien-
no reasonable explanation-is that con-
corning the migration of the Lemming, or
Norway rat. Instead of taking place
once a year, these migrations occur only
once in every eleven years. When the
time comes for the exodus, the little ami
mails journey westward from Scandina-
via, allowing nothing to stop their move
mcnts. which virtually amount to head
long flight. They swim the lakes and
rivers and climb the highest mountains
in incalculdble numbers, devastating the
whole country through which they travel.
Naturalists attribute the movement to
some Inherited memory of flight to es-
cape an expected catuclysm. but this
seems somewhat far-fetched.

Would Not Patronize Sleeping Cars, Even
at Uncle Sans Expense.
One of the stories told to Illustrate the
economical disposition of the late Rep
rcsentative Holman, is that when he was
travelling through the West some years
ago with Representative Cannon of Hi
nois and Peel of Arkansas to investi-
gate Indian agencies, he always declined
to take Pullman car. Mrs. Holman
and the wives of the other members of
the committee accompanied the party
Mr.. Holman said that he and his wife
were not in the habit of using sleeping
cars, when travelling at their own ex-
pense, and he did not see why they
should do SO when the government paid
the bills: Therefore, in a journey COW
ering nearly 1000 miles, from Washing
ton. to the Pacific coast, and through the
| different territories, Mr.. and Mrs. Hol-
man made themselves as comfortable as
possible in one of the ordinary coaches,
while the rest of the party rode in Il
Pullman.
During the journey they visited sew,
eral military posts where the ordinary
salute to which a members of congress
is entitled was fired in their honor. AT
several places Mr.. Holman requested
that the salute might be omitted, be-
| cause it gave him no qualification, and
| was useless waste of powder.

How to Know an Oriental Rug.

An expert, who thinks he knows a
thing or two about Eastern beauties in
the rug line, talks as follows:
"a test of the genuincness of an ORR
entail rug or carpet, which a CONSTANT
nople. gentleman says is sure, is to ex-
anime carefully to see if each stitch is
knotted instead of trusting to those east
ly-put-on marks of age, patches, holes
and crooked places. If the stitch is knot
ted and firm, the rug is genuine Turkish !;
but if the stitch can be pulled out, it is
imitation, no matter how closely the orr
entail rug may have been copied in pat
tern or color. An oriental dealers test
is to drop live coal on the rug, and
when it has burned a little to remove
it quickly with the fingers. If the
scorching entirely disappears, leaving
the original colors unaltered, it is proof
of the genuineness of the rug.'-Ameri-
can Carpet and Upholstery Journal.
