Pericord said nothing, but his face
glowed with pride and expectation.

Brown remarked, laying out some pro-
visions which no had brought with him.

clan. 81 am half starved. A" He pulled
up to the table and made hearty meal,
while his Celtic companion strobe inn
patiently up and down with twitching
fingers and restless eyes.
Now, then, said Brown, facing
round and brushing the crumbs from
his lap, who is to put it on?''
Il shall, cried his companion eager

be historic -

,;ested Brown. We cannot quite tell
tow it may act. -
THAT is nothing" said Pericord,
Nth a wave of his hand.
But there is 10 use in our going out
Of our way to incur danger"
'What then; One of us must do it. "
Not at all The motor would act
equally well if attached to any mani

THAT is true, said Pericord thought
fully.
There are bricks by the barn. l

bagful of them take your place.
1t is good idea. 1 see no objec-
ton. -
Come on, then, and the two sailed
out, bearing with them the various sec
tions of their machine. The moon was
shining cold and clear, though an ocea-
ional ragged cloud drifted across her
ace. All was still and silent upon the
Towns. They stood and listened before
they entered the barn, but not sounC
came to their ears, save the dull muir
muir of the sea and the Instant barking
of u dog. Pericord journeyed backward
and forward with all that they nigh
need, while Brown filled long narrow
sack with bricks.
When all was ready, the door of tn,
barn was closed and the lamp balanced
upon an empty packing case. The bal
of bricks was laid upon two trestles
and the bread steel girdle was buckle,
round it. Then the great phlanges, tn
wires and the metal box containing tn
motor were in turn attached to the cir
die. Last of all fat steel rudder shap

FRENCH ARMY AND NAVY.
England's Traditional Enemy Not Behind
Her In Armament.

Tie French navy ranks next to that
of England in numbers, while in eff
cheney and fighting qualities the French
ships are fully equal to their English
rivals. In fact, i'll naval architecture the
French early took the lead, and many
of the English types of ships were mod
eled after the French designs, says The
Chautauquan. One of the chief differ
onces between the English and the
French armored ships today is i'll the
disposition of the armor and the conse-
quent design Of the hull. English de-
signers have striven to protect the men
working the guns, and to do this they
have reduced the length Of the ships
armor. French and naval architects, on
the ether hand, have given little atten.
ton to the protection of men and great
deal to the protection of the water line.
Therefore they have reduced the breadth
of the ships armor.
1t is worthy of note that France is
the only great power which levies tax
on such Of her citizens as either do
not enlist in the standing army or VIII
enlist for shorter term than three
years. Only these who are officially de-
clared 'impecunious" are exempt from
such Il tax. 1t is payable annually as
long as the liability to service lasts, and
the revenue from this source amounts to
about 80, 900, 900 francs, or So, 900, 600,
annually.
The officers of the French army re-
ceive very thorough education at the
different military schools At the head
Of these (although not exclusively mill
tary) stands the Polytechnic school in
Paris, which admits 100 pupils annually
after competitive examination, The
course occupies nine months in the year
for two years.

the discharge of thoroughly trained mel

ed upon by the general assembly. Pref
erences in this connection are decided

To make mad dog to order, tie tin pan

after suffering 10, Il, 20 years with rheuma-

Jacobs Oil he is cured. He feels the waste
of his life in pam, with the loss of time,
place and money, and then reflects that for
the EXPENSE of SOC. he c uld have saved all
this and lived free of pain; it is enough to

ANCIENT WATER HEATERS.
People Two thousand Years Aro Had
Some Practical Convenience.

feoPle Two Thousand Years ARo Had
some Practical Convenience.
In two of the museums of old Roman
antiquities at Naples there are several
water heaters, which indicate that the
principle Of the water tube, the crown
ing feature of modern boilers, was fully
understood and appreciated some 2, 600
years ago. Mr.. W. T. Bonner of Gin
cinnati has been investigating these
heaters and found them to be as inter
tsting as they are beautiful. One of
them consists of an outer shell 10
inches in diameter and nearly II inches
high, surmounted by a somewhat hemi.
specifically shaped top. Inside this shell
is an internal Cylinder, also having a
hemispherical top, which is 10 inches
in diameter and ~ inches high. The
two shells are connected at the bottom
by rim, like the mud ring Of loco
motive firebox, and the space between
them was filled with water The CRATE
was formed of seven tubes made from
sheet bronze, rolled and soldered or
brazed. These tubes open at both ends
into the lottcm Of the space between
the shells, thus forming a water tube
CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this
heater ard was placed ON the CRATE
through an opening L. 8 inches high and
inches wide. closed by beautifully
decorated door. The gases from the fire
escaped into the cutter air through three
small openings formed by tubes cross.
| ing from the inner TO the outer shell
about 80 inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about II
inches on a tripod so as to allow air &c
reach the fuel. In another boiler OF
somewhat the same type the outer shell
has the form of an urn, while the innel
shell rises from water tube CRATE Il
an opening in the side. 1t is IL inches
in diameter at the widest part, III
inches high and supported on TRIPOD
about 4 inches high. Its general shape
is much like that of the silver cream
pitchers known as the Paul Revere pat
terms, although, of course, it is mucl
larger and has top closed by lid. /

A GREAT GAME PRESERVE
FIFTY Square Miles Leased by Penn
svlvania Rod and Gun Club

ALTOONA, Pa, Aug. S.-What is
probably the largest game preserve in
the eastern states has been leased by the
Nittany Rod and Gun club in the Allie
ghany mountains. The membership OF
the club, which is limited to 200 is made
UP of some of the best known sportsmen
in Pennsylvania and New York. Gov
ernor D. H. Hastings, Ex-Governor Bea-
Iver and Colonel Thomas of Bellefonte
were the prime movers in the formation
of the club.
The area of the clubs entire preserve
is fifty square miles. A large portion of
this is primeval forest, abounding in
small wild game and we'll watered with
delightful trout streams. The quail pre-
eerve has an area of thirty square miles
or about 10000 acres of beautiful farm
land, splendidly adapted to the culture
of quail. At the time of the organiza-
ton of the club, April goth, the season
was too far advanced for planting quail
so the club will have to depend upon pur-
chased quail for this falls sport How
ever an offer of 10000 birds for this sea-
son has been received by the club, and
next spring western birds will be liber-
ated on the preserve for propagation.
One splendid trout stream, which
passes within 1000 feet of the club house
has it's source five miles back in the
mountains, and is absolutely free from
contamination. This autumn eight OIL

A Healthy Body and a Clear Head

If Indigestion, constipation and bilious
ness torment the body. che head cannot be
clear. These disorders react upon the
brain most hurtfully, and produce a
oloudiness in the organ of thought not
experienced by healthy man. Happily.
these brain-oppressing maladies may be
entirely dispelled by that peerless altera-
tive. Hostetter's Stomach Btters, which
cheers, refreshes and invigorates the brain
and nerves, while it regulates the organs
of digestion. assimilation and bilious Sc
cretion. 1t expels the morbid humors which
poison the system through the bowels and
urinary passages and exerts a powerful in
vigorating influence as well. Its cathartic
action is never irritating, violent or pain
full, but even natural and progressive.
AS an appetizer and sleep-promoter the
Bitters is unrivaled; it mitigates the in
firmties of age, relieves the ailments
peculiar to the gentler sex, arrests pre-
mature decay. and builds up an enfeebled
physique.
