To make a mad dog to order, tie a tin
pan to his tail. A man made mad is
one who, after suffering ten, fifteen or
twenty years with rheumatism, finds
that by the use Of bottle Of st. Jacobs
Oil he is cured. He feels the waste Of
his life in pain, with the loss of time,
place and money, and then reflects that
for the expense Of SOC. he could have
saved all this and lived free Of pain; it
is enough to make him mad. Most Of
our sufferings are intensified by delay
in seeking relief, and there is much
worth knowing as regards the cure OF
pain that we find out at last only by
the use of the best cure. 1t is worth
knowing that for the cure Of rheuma-
tism shere is special virtue in The
Great Remedy for Pain, ST. Jacobs Oil,
and as so much can be saved by it's use,
the cost is really nothing.

Camphor is a product of Japan. The

ally within reach Of the sea atmosphere.

erage yearly temperature of Is degrees

half inches year. It sometimes attains
a circumference of forty feet. When
tree is about 40 years old it's yield per
cho two and one-half acres) is equal to
$4,000 (silver) year. The trees have
been felled SO unfortunately that there
are practically none available, and the
price of the product has greatly advanced.
Chips of stumps and roots Of trees cut
down decades ago are used by the Japan
csc farmers in winter for making crude
camphor. The process is so wasteful
that it estimated that only 2 per cent. of
the camphor is obtained from the chips:
1t is expected that the introduction of
improved apparatus will increase the
yield manifold. Crude campnor contains
on an average 10 to Is per cent. of cam
phor oil, which yields, in turn. 50 per
cent of camphor.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

GOLD FOR 500 MILES.

United States Government Biologists Have
Traced the Alaska Belt That Distance.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The geolog-
zeal survey is about to publish huge
volume of exhau stive information on
the subject of the Alaskan gold fields.
A few months ago an expedition, head
ed by j. E. Spur, returned from the
Yukon with an astonishing collection
of new1y-gained facts respecting the
resources of that region. The book
will state that there is room enough
for vast army of miners in the fresh
Undiscovered fields, the gulches and
creeks which have shown good pros
poets being spread over area
of more than 700 square miles The
purpose ofGeologist Spurs expedition
was to find the source from which the
gold of the Yukon placers was derived.
This problem was absolutely solved by
the discovery of gigantic belt of
auriferous rocks at least 500 miles
long and from so to 100 miles in width.
The belt in question passes from Brit
ish territory into American in the
neighborhood of Forty-Mile creek.
Specl&s of bright gold are seen occa-
siona1ly on the surface of rocks,
but the bulk of the precious metal
is disguised in the form of sulphides
and in combination with iron
pyrite. Immense bodies of ore are in
sight of unknown thickness The au-
thorities of the geological survey be-
lieve that the Alaskan gold deposits
are destined to rival in productiveness
those of South Africa Naturally, the
miners have struck first for the gravel
deposits. because they are on the sur
face and easily accessible At future
day, provided with proper machinery
and the necessary capital, they will
attack the virgin rocks from which
the metal of the gravels is derived. and
then the Yukon valley will become in
all proba bility the greatest gold
producing region of the world

Explosion In n Chicago Elevator Causes the
Death of Five and Injury of Many.
CHICAGO, Aug. Give lives were
lost and scores of persons sustained
serious in uries in an explosion which
took place yesterday evening during
the burning of the Northwestern grain
elevator at Cook and West Water
streets Four of the dead and 81 of the
injured are firemen. Either the burst
ing of a boiler or the explosion of mill
dust caused the awful havoc The
origin of the blaze is believed to have
been in the vicinity of the boiler house
Just as the firemen were getting into
position for advantageous work, and
nearly all the members of engine COM
pany No were mounting ladders and
bringing leads of hose to place on the
interior from the upper windows,
there came roar that could be heard
for half mile, the roof was raised
high in the air and the walls came
down with a crash. The force of the
explosion was so great that the east
ern wall was hurled into the river, the
western wall was tumbled down upon
the heads of the unfortunate men be-
low and the roof was torn into frag-
ments and distri buted for blocks
around. The explosion stunned, for a
moment, the police and iremen, but
they quickly rallied to help those who
had been hurt. Dozens of men lay in
jured in the whitening heat, some not
seriously harmed, and others in the
throes of death. The fire was most
difficult to control, as the elevator was
surrounded by a number of small frame
buildings which were continually
mated at $4,000 which is fully in

ATLANTA, Ga, Aug. 6.-The strike at

firm. and is now being driven overland
to Kansas, where the sheep will be fed
