The Klondikers call Miss Lessarge
the heroine of the Klondike because
although she has never yet set eve or
the rugged country which teens win
gold, she has in her quiet determina-
tlcn and disregard of all danger and
prlVauon, shown a courage and hero
ism, which any of the sterner Sex
might be proud of. Listen to how this
young girl is dressed, and think of
what the season will be before she can
reach the gold fields under the most
favorable circumstances:
She had in that forty-pound erinsaclz
OF hers two suits of fairly warm under
clothing, lined petticoat, a dress of
SUBSTANTIAL wool, and two pairs of
heavy shoes. Her attire at the time
she boarded the steamer. consisted of
rather cheap cloth dress, and the or
ulhafy summer weight apparel Of a
woman. This was all. With this outfit

is no rarity at all for the mercury to
reach 80 degrees below zero. She will

find herself an object of interest to fine

are more chivalrous than your true
miner, the blackleg is as numerousIv
represented in the Klondike as else
where.
If Miss Lessarge would have permit
ted, she could have secured the aid
necessary to lift the mortgage from her
mothers home without batting death
in the manner she has done, but she
refused to accept charity, preferring to
suffer all that a Klondike trip carried
with it rather than abandon the priv

'1ectrie Spark Photographed.
For the First Time Scientific Men Are Able to
See What 1t Looks Like

LONDON, Aug. 2S-The electric
spark has at last been photographed
and scientific problem solved over
which savants have puzzled for CEN
turtles. This wonder has been accom-
plished by Lord Armstrong, one of the
most famous students of electricity
known to Europe, and the results of
his studies for years have just been
made public English savants hold that
since the day amber was discovered
to be the parent of so-called artificial
electricity nothing has been learned
which promises to be so great an aid
in solving the problem of the origin
and composition of electricity.
In the first place. Lord Armstrong
conclusively proves that we can no
longer in truth speak of the electric
fluid. There is no tsnph thing. Elec-
tricity is nothing. bat e. purely vortex
movement, just such e. movement as
we see when we wateH the rings of

as 1t were, is vastly different III gem
eral appearance from the current after
it has accomplished q certain portion
OF its mission. Take the electricity as
1t comes from the human body, and
photograph it and 1t will be found that
while it radiates under proper cir
cumstances, it has sharper and
shorter appearance.
Another photograph taken by Lord
Armstrong shows the electric currents
when two opposite discharging discs
were brought near to one another. The
radiation from the positive disc is
seen to be much the same as in the
first illustration on the outer side but
on the inner side the rays are drawn
toward the negative disc and con-
solidated into thicker lines. The Illus
tration also shows clearly that the dis
charge has different characteristics at
the two poles.
This latter fact is one of the most
valuable results Of Lord Armstrong;
discoveries. Not, as previously stated
that the world has not long known the

curing that expense, and so it is that
she has chosen for herself the hardest
route of all, that by way of the famed
and dreaded Chilkoot pass.
/ What makes it all the more shocking
when one stops to think of this dainty
young woman in the midst of rough
surroundings is that the latest reports
from the Chilkoot route show that the
thoroughfare is fairly jammed with
people, animals and provisions. In
deed, in some instances, the army of
prospectors have been forced to build
roads in order to make their way along
at all. and it is over this very route
that Miss Lessarge is journeying to.

to be in possession of conclusive proof
that the coal companies have entered

the claim that the companies are vio-

Hot weather dyspepsia may be recog-
nized by the following symptoms: De-
preston of spirits heaviness and pain in
the stomach after meals, loss of flesh and
appetite, no desire for food, bad taste in
the mouth, especially in the morning,
wind in stomach and bowels, irritable
disposition nervous weakness, WEAKNESS,
costiveness, headache. palpitation, heart
burn 1t Is amistake to treat such troub-
les with "tonics," blood purifiers" Ca
thartics," pills" because the whole
trouble is in the stomach. It is indiges-
ton or dyspepsia and nothing else
All these symptoms rapidly disappear
when the stomach is relieved, strength
ened and cleansed by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets. They should be taken after
meals and few carried in the pocket to
be used whenever any pain or distress is
felt in the stomach. They are prepared
only for stomach troubles.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are endors-
ed by such physicians as DR.. Haraldson,
DIR. Jennison and Dr.. Mayer, because
they contain the natural digestive acids
and fruit essences which when taken into
the stomach cause the prompt digestion
of the food before it has had time to fer
ment and sour, which is the cause of the
mischief.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are pleas
ant to take and unequalled for invalids,
children and every person afflicted with
imperfect digestion. 1t is safe to say
they will cure any form of stomach trou-
