Atlantic Currents.

1t is an interesting fact in the records
of scientific progress that the United
States navy has for long time past
been dropping bottles overheard in the
Atlantic ocean ut the Azores, in deep
water along the coast of Spain and from
the Madeira and the Canaries south.
ward along the coast of Africa. The
fact that all these bottles that have
been recovered have been found on the
coast of South America, on the Antil-
les, and some of them as far west us
the mouth of the Rio Grande, suggests
the inference that every buoyant object
which has been dropped into the ocean
during the present geological epoch by
prehistoric or historic Spaniards, Por-
tuguese OF Africans has found its way
to America and been stranded some
where between the tenth parallel south
and the thirtieth parallel north. In the
northern part of the Atlantic ocean the
currents run the other way, and the
mails have been delivered from Ameri-
ca to Europe In the Pacific ocean the

of America from Mount St. Elias south

Eureka GRa.

The name of Eureka gas is given to n
new illuminant, expected to rival acety-
lene. This gas, as described in Inycn-
ton and originated by NJ. Hector de
Favi of Montefiascone, Italy, is obtained
as follows: Lime as pure as possible is
employed as base, colophony and cal
cium carbide being added, 900 parts
of the mixture ready for use consisting
of 900 of quicklime, so Of colophony
and 80 Of calcium carbide--and there is
said to be no liability of explosion by
mixing with air. No heating of water
and no special burner is needed Ono
thousand parts of the mixture give so
liters OF gas ut a pressure of 80 milli-
meters of water, and the photometric
intensity of the flame is stated to be
90. 4 candle hours, while the same
amount of calcium carbide employed
singly would give only Is candle hours,
Thus, it is asserted, the new gas is 80
per cent cheaper than acetylene, or that
at equal cost it will give half as much
more light.

Just a
Little Pain.

The FIRST touch of Rheumatism Ia a
fair warning of much torture to follow.
The little pains which dart through the
body are not SO severe at first, possibly a
mere pang, and cause little incouyen-
fence, but If the warming is unheeded.
they will multiply rapidly and increase
in severity until they become almost
unbearable.
Rheumatism as a rule is much seyerer
in winter, though many are SO afflicted
with it that they are crippled all the
year round. Those who felt its first
touch last year, may be sure that with
the first season of cold or disagreeable
weather, the mild pain of last year will
return as a severe one, and become more
and more intense until the disease has
them completely in its grasp.
Being a disease of the blood of the
most obstinate type, Rheumatism can
be cured only by a real blood remedy.
No liniments or ointments can possibly
reach the disease. Swift's Specific
Is S. S. Is the only cure for Rheuma-
tism, because it is the only blood remedy
that goes down to the very bottom of all
obstinate blood troubles, and cures cases
which other remedies cannot reach.

The misuse of the title professor, :"
when it is applied Unfortunately to
musicians in general, finds an amusing
example in the following story, credited
to Bandmaster Sousa and printed III
The Musical Age
Some years ago Sousa was leading a
band at a small country festival. The
advent of the band had been awaited
with intense interest by the audience,
and when they arrived the bandsmen
were quickly surrounded by surging
crowd which hemmed them in so that
it was difficult for them to keep on
playing.
Sousa appealed to one of the commit.
tee to keep the crowd away and said
that unless his men had more room they
could not play. The committeeman
shook his hand warmly, and, turning to
the assembled multitude, bawled out;
Gentlemen, step back and give the
purfesser' s purfessers a chance to play"

HUMAN BRAINS.
How Science Views the Difference between
Men and Women.
The weiQhtier brain would seem


The weightier brain would seem also
to indicate, a priori, the greater intel
lectual power, and this, too, is borne
out by undoubted facts Women. it has
often been said, have yet to produce
their Newton, their Dante, their Arts
totle, their Pascal, their Goethe The
assertion Is very feebly met by the com
tention that womens education has
been for centuries neglected
1t was not education which enabled
Pascal as a child 70 SEQ his way through
problems which not one man in /, 900 can
understand after prolonged mental drill
1t was not education which gave the

in numbers for the numbers came. -
But where are their feminine equals2
We will, however, take an art in which
women have enjoyed far more training
than men-the art of music There are
Some excellent women planists and vio-
linists, but where are the female Bachs,
Beethovens, Mozarts and Wagners? Ma
ture only can explain the absence of
great women composers as Of the femi-
nine compeers of Titan and Raphael,
the technique of whose art seems pecul-
iarly fitted to women.
Nature tells us that she cannot form
the matrix out Of which commanding
intellectual geniuses of the female sex
would proceed Why this is no we may
partly guess, but cannot wholly know.
We see that nature has divided the
world into sexes for her own purposes,
and that to each sex peculiar functions
are assigned. We see that the physio-
logical functions of woman necessitate
a different anatomy from that of man,
and we infer that these functions and
this structure preclude, speaking gener
ally, the kind of effort which we call
supreme genius, as also that kind Of
effort which we call sustained executive
power. While women are not 50 far

works, and, often in great measure,
share in their production, it remains a
fact that it is man particular organi-
cation which is alone capable either Of
the highest manifestations of genius or
the most sustained exhibition of energy.
Whether it will always be so we do not
know, for we cannot peer into the flu
ture. 1t is sufficient that it not only is
30 now, but that it always has been SO,
aud that science does give US some good
grounds for believing that the fact is
deeply rooted in the very structure of

IN THE LONG AGO.
When the st. Louis spanIards Marched
Against the Michigan English.


A Spanish army came to Chicago in
the long ago. The minor details Of it
and tho finer statecraft reasons Of it are
hidden in the catacombs of the Escu-
rial along with tons of other docu-
ments that will never SEQ the light
again. But we know that those men Of
war marched over the Illinois prairies
and that they were sent to increase the
dominions of their sovereigns.
BY the treaty of Paris, signed in 1893
France coded to Spain all Of that vast
territory known as Louisiana, which
stretched from the mouth Of the Missis-
sippi TO the Canadian line. In 1881
Great Britain WAS at war with the
United States, Spain, Holland and
France. st. Louis was Spanish town,
and English officers attacked it at the
head of 1900 Indians They were de-
teated with little trouble and retreated
In revenge the Spanish commander
at st. Louis, which his people called
San Luis de Illinois, planned raid
against the British post of st. Joseph
1t was a fort or outpost, located at a
point two miles from the present city Of
Benton Harbor, Mich, and go miles
northwest of Chicago, across the lake
The force began its long, difficult and
dangerous journey on Jan. Q, 1881.
They estimated the distance at 220
leagues, or ego miles, and subsequent
surveys have proved that they were re-
markedly good guessers. 1t was officer
ed by Captain Eugenio Pure, command
ing, and Lieutenant Carlos Tayon. The
interpreter WAS Luis Chevalier. Chiefs
Eleeturno and Nequigen led the so In

tribes. There We're 60 Spanish volun-
teers, in all 1870 men, selected with
special reference to their ability to with
stand the arduous journey.
They marched up the Mississippi riv-
er to the mouth of the Illinois and
thence along the track of the French
explorers and yoyagers. The route took
them up the Illinois river past Fort
Creye CGur (Peoria) to old Fort St
Louis (Starved Rock. Here they plant
ed the blood stained banner of AragOn
and CASTLE. \ century before from that
rocky eminence La Sale had unfurled
the fleurd elis of France. Subsequently
the British flag had waved over it.

to the junction of the Kankakee and
Desplaines rivers They followed the
Desplaines to a point west of what is
now South Chicago and came to the
lake at its southern edge. They found
it desolate region of swamps and sand
dunes. Thence they marched to their
destination
The small garrison of st. Joseph fed
to Detroit at the news of their approach
and all Of the stores fell into the hands
of the invaders. They proclaimed the
sovereignty of Spain over this section
and divided the stores After resting
some days they began their return march
over the former route. They reached ST
Louis in safety after midwinter march
of nearly 400 miles through a hostile
country They had few casualties and

THE HEALTHY PALATE.

1t Does Not Crave Condiments, but the
Food Must Possess Flavor.
While perfectly sound and healthy
palate does not crave for condiments,
even prefers to do without them, yet
the majority of digestions require to be
hundred and kept in order and their
peculiarities must be studied DR. Brun-
ton says:
"Savory food causes the digestive
juices to be freely secreted. Well cooked
and palatable food is therefore more di-
gestible than the unpalatable If food
lacks SAVIOR, desire naturally arises to
supply it by condiments, not always
well selected or wholesome. "
AS commerce brought them within
reach of the people condiments in sim
pie or complicated forms, came greatly
into favor, and foreign spices were add
ed to the wild herbal growths of the
fields and hedges. In our early history
the 'spicery was a special department
of the court and had its proper officers
In the fourteenth century spices were
both costly and rare, most of them COM
ing from the Levant. Chauoer mentions
many by name-canella, macys cloves
(cloves), grains of paradise, nutmegs,
caraway and splkenard. The ancients,
especially the Greeks and Romans in
the luxurious period of their history,
used condiments very freely.
An old English historian, referring
to the earlier Roman court, says, The
best magistrates of Rome allowed but
the ninth day for the city and publick
business, the rest for the country and
the sallet garden. From this it would
seem as though the education of taste
was accounted of some consequence in
those days Exchange.
