REVERSING NATURES PROCESS.
Some Things That Would Happen III Ex-
perimentaliata Had Their Way.

porituenVhhhth hh0 IheT way
The reversibility of the physical
processes of nature has latterly been
the subject of interesting comment,
says Cassiers Magazine. Lord Kelvin,
for example, has been credited with
saying that all of them, no matter how
complex they might appear to the
human senses, consist in reality of the
motions of invisible molecules, and if,
therefore, by some means, all these
molecules could, at the same time, be
made to move in exactly the opposite
direction, and each with the same We
locity that it possessed at the moment,
all the world would begin and continue
to move backward; waterfalls would
flow up the sides of the cliffs; rivers
would run upward from the sea; rain
would rise; full-blown flowers would
shrink into buds and plants dwindle
into seedlings, man himself would be-
come young again, passing from old
age to infancy. just what kind of pic
lures such a topsy-turvy world would
present may be seen with kineto.
scope running backward. Prof. Que
roult, according to report, has made
observations in this line, and some
time ago communicated them to the
French academy of science.

with Q, 447, 600, 900 bushels in 1898 and

only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-

this tube gets inflamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con.
