wheels of passing train. So
complete was the breaking up that sci
entists thought 1t worthy OF investiga-
ton. during which 1t was determined
that the metal had become exhausted
and had broken down. just as an over
strained animal might be expected to
DO. This has led TO further inquiry,
and scientists are satisfied that metals
DO become tired out. Fine cracks often
appear In steel rails and II has been
supposed that they are caused by the
continuous conclusion OF railway
wheels. This. however. seems to be
contradieted by the examination OF
newly-made rails, in which similar
nne lines occur. The idea that metals
become weary. while not altogether a
new one, Is to an extent a plausible
one. and under the careful scrutiny OF
scientific societies will probably be sat
isiactorily explained and settled.

Insanity In Animals.

That animals are, to an extent, sub

nit that there is some corresponding
affection in animals and r<n or one

CHIEE CAUSE,

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder trou-
bles. So the womb, like the bladder,
was CT eated for one purpose, and if not
doctored too much is not liable TO weak
ness or disease, except in rare cases
1t is situated back of and very close to
the bladder, therefore any pain, disease
or inconvenience manifested in the
kidneys, back, bladder or urinary pas
sage is often, by mistake, attributed to
female weakness or womb trouble of
some sort. The error is easily made
and may be easily avoided. To find out
correctly, set your urine aside for TWEEN
ty-four hours; a sediment of settling in
dictates kidney or bladder trouble. The
mile and the extraordinary effect of Dr.
kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney
ard bladder remedy is soon realized.
