FREE TO EVERY MAN.
The Method of a Great Treat

Painful diseases are bad enough, but when

weakness, the mental forbodings are ten times
worse than the most severe pain. There is
no let up to the mental suffering day or night.

strain men are scarcely responsible for what
they do. For years the writer rolled and
tossed on me troubled sea OF S xual weakness
until it was a question whether he had not
better take a dose Of poison and thus ends
all his tIoubles. But proYidential inspira

nation Of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged his
weak and emaciated parts 10 natural size and

Professor G.. II. Darwin, in his fifth
lecture in the Lowell Institute course,
explained the causes of daily high and
low tides. 'When the moon is over
any spot on the earth the water is
drawn mp toward il by the force it ex-
erts. and at the point directly opposite
ON the other side of the earth the
water is also raised in the form OF a
biz wave, said Professor Darwin
"ErtWeen these points on either side
of the earth 5 circumference the ocean
is depressed, the moon thus tending
to form "a apheroid of the waters and
giving rise To two high or two low
tides in the course of one revolution
OF the earth.
To understand the bi-monthly
spring aud neap tides, we must take
into account also the effect Of the sun
on the oceans. The force exerted by
the sun is 26-59thS as powerful as that
Of the one moon. and when there is
full moon or new moon the force
Of both bodies is acting together, and
gives rise to the condition known as
spring tides. But when the moon is
half way between new and full, way
ing or waning, the force OF the sun is
acting at right angles to that of the
moon. As the sun exerts about half
the power Of the moon over the tides,
the difference between the effect the
two acting together and in opposition
is about as three to one, so that the
tides arising from the conflict of the
force of the sun and moon are only
oue-third as great as the spring tides.
These minor tides are called neap
tides.
The observed fact that high tides do
not occur when the moon is overhead,
but several hours later, was explained
rs due mainly to the comparative
shaliowness of the oceans and to the
different vclocities of all points Of the
earth surface between the maximum

and zero at the poles. Boston Trans

The GLOW Worm Eorutsen Ray.

The glow-worm's light is said to
have been shown to be due 10 the
emission OF rays similar to the Roeut-
gen rays. \ story is current to the
effect that 800 glow-worms were
caught near kioto, Japan, recently
and pla eel before Photographic plates
scree from the light by several
thicknesses of black Vaper. together
with plates of brass, copper and alu-
minum. 4 piece of cardboard with
a hole in il was placed between the
metal and the Photographic plate, and
for two days the arrangement was
kept in dark chamber sheltered from
all foreign light. On developing the
plate it was found to be blackened,
except on the part opposite the hole
in the cardboard. The rays of the
glow-worm would appear, therefore,
to penetrate metal and excite lumi-
mostly in cardboard. When there Is
nothing between the sensitive plate
and the glow-worm the rays are said
to behave like ordinary light, but in
traversing some metals and cardboard
they seem to acquire properties like
that of the Mays, or 1t may he that
the glow worm emits y as well as or
binary rays. This story savors con
siderablv of the improbable.

The Sahara is Il very large country,
some parts of which are much de-
pressed, while other parts are very
high. In the central and southern
parts are mountains and tablelands
ranging from 800 to 1000 feet above
the level Of the sea. The lowest part
of the country is in its northern part,
and there is large tract filled with
salt lagoons, which is from 80 TO 100
feet below the sea level This tract
was no doubt in remote times part
of the Mediterranean sea, to which
it was joined 10y the gulf of Gabes.
The deposits ON the coast iii the lapse
of time made the arm of the sea an in
land lake, which, being fed by no in
let's. in the natural course of Things,
was dried up by evaporation. An
other tract, also below sea level, is IN
the eastern half of the Sahara, south
Of the tabelaud of Barca. This last
low country was also probably once a
part of the Mediterranean, joining 1t
ives. of the modern delta Of the Nile,
at the head of the Gulf Of Syrtis
Major.
