FREE CURE FOR men.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His
Discovery Free.
Claims To Be a Benefactor To
Weakened Mankind.

There Is always more or less sus-
picion attached to anything that is Of
fered free but sometimes a man so
ovsrfiOws with generosity that he can
not rest until his discovery is known
to the world, in order that his fellow
men may profit by what he has dis
covered. 1t is upon this pricipal that
a resident of Kalamazoo, Mich, de-
sires to send free to mankind a pre-
scription which will cure them Of any
form of nervous debility; relieves
them of all the doubt and uncertain
ty which such men are peculiarly liza
BILE to and restores the organs to nat
ural size and vigor. AS it costs moth
ing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
pervous troubles that usually attack
men who never stopped to realize
what might he the final result, ought
to be deeply interested in a remedy
which will restore them to health,
strength and vigor, without which
they continue to live an existence Of
untold misery. AS the remedy in
question was the result Of many years
research as to what combination
would be peculiarly effective in restor-
ing to men the strength they need, it
would seem that all men suffering
with any form Of nervous weakness
ought to write for such a remedy at
once. A request to II. G. Odds, Box
174S Kalamazoo, Mich, stating that you
are not sending for the prescription
out Of idle curiosity, but that you wish
to make use of the medicine by giving
it a trial. will be answered promptly
and without evidence as to where in
formation came from
The prescription is sent free, and al
though some may wonder how Mr..
Odds can afford TO give away his dis
covery. there is no doubt about the
offer being genuine. Cut this out and
send to Mr.. Odds so that he may
know how you came to write him.

THE MYSTERY OF LIFE.
Important Part Played by CarBenic Aci'
Water and Ammonia

Important Part Played by Carbonlc Aclo
Water and Ammonia
What do VIC know of life? Carbonic
acid, water and ammonia, when taken
into a plant, produce in some way pro-
toplasm, which is substance composed
of minute corpuscles, and inside each
corpuscle there is a smaller body called
a nucleus, says London Truth. BY TAX
ing in carbonic acid, water and am
monia and converting them into this
compound, called protein, the plant
maintains its vigor, grows and multi
plies. The animal does the same by
taking in the same compound, with this
difference that whereas the plant can
manufacture protoplasm out Of inor-
ganic matter, the animal is obliged to
procure it ready made from the plants,
The same indicated mass of protoplasm
that is the unit of plant life is the unit
of animal life. The body and the plant
are multiples of such units variously
modified, but in their composition
identical.
When the animal dies the carbonic
acid, the water and the ammonia of his
body are restored to the collective
stock. Again they are taken into new
plants and through new plants into
new animals. Thus protoplasm is the
basis of all life. It is built up of or
binary matter and it is resolved again
into ordinary matter. Plants can make
protolasm out of its component parts;
animals can convert lifeless into living
protoplasm. This is the only difference
between a man and q plant as regards
their making. How all this is done we
have not the remotest notion. All that
we know is that it is done. Remove the
carbon, the oxygen, the hydrogen and
the nitrogen, which form carbonic acid
water and ammonia, from the globe
and all vitality, whether animal or vege'
table, would disappear from it. Wher
brought together under certain condi'
tons they give rise to protoplasm, and
this protoplasm produces all the phe'
nomena of life.

RUDE WIND ENGINES.
Screens to Protect Those Vaues Which Are
Not Working.

Out in Kansas, and possibly in other
states, there is in rather extensive use
a rude sort of windmill, known as a
"Mogul" or a Jumbo" This has a
horizontal axis and vanes like those of
an old-fashioned water-wheel. The
props which sustain the axle are per-
manent, so that only a breeze from
one general direction usually either
north or SOUTH will affect it, and the
machine is only high enough up to al
low the wheel to clear the ground. The
lower half is boxed or fenced in, so that
the wind can strike only the upper half.
Considerable service is obtained frpm
these curious arrangements, usually in
pumping water for irrigation.
A somewhat similar idea has recent
ly been proposed to the New York Trib-
une by two correspondents, writing al
most simultaneously. One of them is
2. f. Mathews, of Forked River, N. j.
1t is suggested that wind-wheel, hav-
ing vertical sails, or vanes, mounted at
the ends of radiating horizontal arms,
be provided with a screen or shield, SO
arranged as to cover just one-half of its
front, and that the screen be movable,
so that it will occupy the same relative

LIGHT WAS KEPT BURNING.
Piucky Boy Who Was Alone in the Tower
for Three Weeks

PIucky Boy Who Was Alone In the Tower
for Three Weeks
This is one of the widest and bleakest
of light stations of that savage region,
and, according to q story told there,
1t was once the scene of a remarkably
plucky adherence to duty on the part
of a 15-year-old boy, says Scribner's.
He was the son of the keeper, and on
this occasion was left alone in the tower
while his father went ashore for pro-
visions in their only boat. Before the
latter could return a violent storm
arose, and for the next three weeks
there was no time in which the keep
er's boat could have lived for moment
in the wild seas that ragged about the
lonely rock. Still the light was kept
burning by that 15-year-old boy, who
had but little to eat and but scant time
to sleep. Night after night, for three
weeks, its steady CLEAN shone through
the blackness of the pitiless storm and
gladdened the fathers straining eyes.
When the ordeal was ended the boy was
so weak from exhaustion as to be bare
ly able to speak. At the same time
there was no prouder father nor hap
pier young lightkeeper on the Maine
coast than those who met on the storm
swept Ledge of Ssddleback that day,

A California inventor is experiment
ing with a wave motor which is intend.
ed to make use of the enormous force
of the sea The especial merit of this
device is that all the machinery is on
dry land, and thus not at the mercy Of
storms. There is a buoy anchored IN
the water, and in It ia stepped mast,
the top of which describes a part of an
arc as the buoy pitches. To the top Of
the mast is attached wire which runs
ashore to the motor. By means Of
drums, a weight and pawl and ratchet
wheels the various motions of the mast
roll the hywheel constantly in one d.
rection. It would be a great triumph
over nature IL the forces that cause sea-
sickness could be put to a more salts
fnctory service.

Several Thousands of Them Are Found in
the United States.
The United States enjoys a greater
variety of venomous flies than any
other country. Several Thousand spe-
cies have been put upon the govern
ment black list. A bulletin by L. o.
Howard, government entomologist in
chief, is soon to be issued on the sub
ject.
The worst of them all Is the insect
whose young, in the immature stage,
are called "screw worms" This insect
does not bite, but lays its eggs in peo-
pies nostrils and the little grubs
Matched from them devour flesh, bone
and gristle. The fly Is blush green,
with a yellow head and three black
stripes or the back. Anyone mapping
out of doors in summer is in danger
from these pests. The fly will invade
the nostril and almost instantly deposit
its eggs, before it can be expelled by
sncezing. Within a few hours the
worms are Matched and they proceed to
literally eat out the inside of the vic
TINS head. DR.. Joshua Richardson, of
MoCavia, Ia, tells of patient in whose
nostrils screw fly had oviposited, who
died, in spite of all efforts to save him,
from exhaustion due to abscess in one
of the ear passages, which had been in
yaded by some of the larvae. This fly
is mainly tropical insect, but is found
all the way from Canada to Patagonia.
1t deposits 300 or 400 eggs within q
few moments, and the larvae from
them are whitish, footless grubs, slen-
der and active They mature in five or
six days, then bury themselves in the
ground, where they are transformed
into chrysalids. Prompt Swinging out
of nasal passages, with one part car
bolic acid and 200 parts water, should
be resorted to In case of infection of
a human being. A physician cannot
be called too quickly.
The bite of the tsetse fly, native to
Africa, Is sometimes fatal to man. It
Is principally famous for its slaughter
of domestic animals. It is said to have
invaded Australia, and the prospect of
its reaching America is regarded with
alarm.
The most dreaded of all insects in this
country are the buffalo gnats. In 1874
the damage to domestic animals in
southwest Tennessee was estimated at
100000. Its bite occasionally causes
the death of human beings. All know
the famous 'black fly" OF "horse flies"
over 1900 species are known, and OF
these 100 are found in North America
