at bv other astronomers who, know

"The idea" SAYS Professor Young,

declared. 1t is a mere question OF

OCEAN CURRENTS.
How They Are Utilized in the lonian Islands to
Run Mills.


Philadelphia Record. Argostoli. the
capital " Cephlonia, the largest of the
Ionian Islands. has two unique mills
water mills-which derive their power
from the ocean. The city is located on
a deep bay, entrance to which from
the sea is made through a narrow
strait between two capes. The current
in this narrow passage is very strong,
and this fact is being made use of by
placing the two water mills on its
banks.
Curiously enough. the current always
flows in one direction. and not two and
fro, as one would expect The water
which flows into the bay disappears in
the crevices of the promontories, cleft
in twain by frequent earthquakes.
Where the current goes, however, it
has been impossible to discover. al
though many biologists have busted
themselves with the problem.
Repeated earthquakes have torn the
rocks in many places, and that of
February L. 1867, destroyed two towns
and more than forty villages by its
exceptional severity. The theory that
the current is simply filling up these
crevices must be wrong, for no matter
how large the crevices they would
have been filed up long before this in
the course of the decades and cen
turtles,
Quite recently two English scientists
e xamined the current, and gave II as
their opinion that the continuous cur
rent in one direction can be explained
by the fact that the waters rush
through subterranean caves, passing
over hot channels, and that the heated
water forms the hot salt water springs
found little further away outside the
bay on the coast of the island. The ex-
istence of such a subterranean cur
rent is believed possib lie, and might
be explained by the peculiar formation
OF the coast, but no positive proof of
this theory has ben presented.

Here is case where the pain inflicted
OH a six-year-old boy was especially
cruel, and after undergoing the fortunes
produced by the surgeons knife he rap
idly grew worse. Mr.. ]. N. Murdoch,
the father of the boy, residing at 279
Snodgrass street, Dallas, Texas, writes:
"When my son, Will, was six years
old, small sore appeared on his lip,
which did not yield to the usual treat
ment, but before long began TO grow. II
gave him a great deal of pain, and CON
tinued to spread. He was treated by
several good doctors, who said he had
cancer, and advised that an operation
was necessary.
"After much reluctance, we consented,
and they cut down to the jaw bone,
which they scraped. The operation was
a severe one, but / thought it was the
only hope for my boy. Before a great
while the cancer returned, and began to
grow rapidly. We gave him many REM
edies without relief, and finally upon the
advice of friend, decided to try S.S.S.
(Swift's Specifc), and with the second
bottle he began to improve After twenty
bottles had been taken, the cancer dis
appeared entirely and he was cured.
The cure was permanent one, Tor he is
now seventeen years old, and has never
had sign OF the dreadful disease TO re-
turn"
S.S.S. is far ahead of all other blood
remedies, because it is the only one
which cures deep-seated obstinate blood
diseases such as Cancer, Scroiula,
Eczema, Catarrh, Rheumatism, etc,
1t is the only blood remedy guaranteed

The
Cruel Knife!

The alarming increase in the number
OF deaths which occur as the result of
surgical operation is attracting general
attention, and a etrong sentiment
against such methods of treatment is
fast developing among the most inteli-
gent classes. 1t seems that in almost
every case for which the doctors treat
ment is unsuccessful, the learned physi
clans decide at once that an operation
must be performed, and the keen blade
of the surgeon is recklessly resorted to.
Doctors are human, and of course are
liable TO make mistakes, but their mis-
takes are too fatal to be indulged in
promiscuously, and as so many lives are
sacrificed in this manner, it is but natural
for the public to believe that half the
operations are unnecessary, besides be
ing fearful risk to human life, even If
successful.
1t is a positive fact however, that all
operations are not necessary, and that q
majority of them are absolutely under
taken without the slightest chance OF
success. The doctors have never been
able to cure blood disease, and sur
gical operation is their only method OF
treating deep-seated cases, such as can
Ger and scrofulous affections. Aside
from the great danger, au operation
never did and never will cure cancer, as
the disease never fails to return. Can
GER is in the blood, and common sense
teaches anyone that no disease can be
cut from the blood.

TO YOUNG men
Rev. Pearson CommendS
Daniels Character.
Ciinging to Faith and Resisting
Temptation-Seve Tests.
Stand up for Right.

The First Methodist curch on Bere-
tania street was filled Sunday even
ing. There was a congregation Of more
| than ordinary numbers for the reason
that the announcement Of sermon to
young man had been made. 1t was an
excellent discourse of that character.
The pleasing address and the earnest
ness of Rev. G. l.. Pearson, the Me-
| thodist pastor make him one peculiar
| ly fitted to get upon intimate relations
with young men.
Rev. Mr. Pearson said that it was a
glorious privilege to look upon the
grand and approved and inspiring
works of God as manifested in nature
and that these things were appreciated
by many. 1t was pleasurable and edu-
cational to view the numerous notable
works of thought and execution.
But the noblest thing that may be
viewed and contemplated and studied
and emulated is perfect character.
Daniel was depicted as an exemplar.
He with other young men was taken
from Jerusalem prisoner to Babylon,
l, 200 miles away. Daniel, as bright
young man, was selected for the gov
eminent service. His first evidence of
faith and steadfastneSs and honesty
with himself was refusal to accept food
and wine from the table of the sover
|eign. He preferred and insisted upon
the simple diet which had strengthen
ed his fathers. A great temptation was
offered and overcome. In the incident
is warning to the proneness Of young
their early training, to readily fall into
the uoing as Romans when in Rome"
The full demand was made upon the
character of Daniel when he was en-
abled to tell the king of forgotten
dream and to interpret the vision. In
stead of taking to himself the credit
for divination, Daniel declared that
personally he had done nothing, that
he was incapable of doing anything,
that the apparent wonder, was only the
result of faith and prayer.
The supreme test to Daniel came
when envious fellow officials secured
the enactment of a law forbidding
prayer to any but the monarch himself.
He alone was to be worshipped. Daniel
continued to pray as formerly to the
God of Jerusalm, taking post at his
window facing his old home. He might
have carried on his devotion secretly
and quietly, but for his faith he defied
even the inflexible law of the king. For
| this the man of faith and character
was cast into the den of lions. He was
saved to be of much more service to
the cause Of truth and righteousness.
In conclusion, Rev. Mr.. Pearson
| made a strong plea to the youth to
stand firmly and staunchly and with
out yielding against all that was wrong
and impure. There was special music
by the choir, including an anthem.
