A new Filter

l. W. Zimmerman of the West
Side grocery has secured the ex-
elusive agency for new filter that
promises to fill long felt want in
this section of the state at least.
1t is called the Sutton Tripoli filter
and is natural stone filter, made
in Seneca, Mo-, and is designed
for family and general use. 1t is
simplicity itself, being made in
five different sizes according to
the tiltering capacity desired. The
olock of stone is penetrated by u
series of drill holes in one of which
is inserted tube set with cement
to which is attached a white rub
Der tube about three feet in
length. Every drop of water in
the operation of the filter is re-
quired to pass through the solid
tripoli filter stone in order to
reach the rubber tube through
which it is drawn off, perfectly
pure and sparkling. All filth,
microbe, bacteria and germ mat
ter and sediment of every charac-
ter contained in the water will be
found deposited on the surface of
the filter stone after using it and
may be quickly removed and
thoroughly cleansed by occasionly
washing the filter stone with
brush and water. Persons inter
ested can call at the West Side
grocery and see filter in operation.

PLIABLE GLASS PLATES.
Chinese Work Which Makes One of Old
Pliny's Stories Probable.

Chinese Work Which Makes One of Old
Pliny's Stories Probable.
From the Strand Magazine: It ap-
pears that the Chinese have the art of
making pliable glass plates. They are
not solid, but plated from spun glass
and made gorgeous by brilliant oriental
coloring. The strangest thing about
them is that, although they are made
OF glass, one can bend them backward
and forward as if they were putty or
pliable clay. In hearing of these
strange plates one is reminded of
story originally by Pliny in his Natural
History, and popular during the mid
die ages. AS narrated in the "Gesta
RomanorIm"-that strange repository
OF monkish lore-the tale runs thus:
1T happened that certain artifcer
fabricated plate which, being exhibit
ed before the emperor (Tiberius), he
attempted, but ineffectively, to break
it. 1t bent, however, beneath his eff
forts, and the artiticer, applying
hammer and working upon the glass
as upon copper, presently restored it
to its level. Tiberius inquired by what
art this was effected and the other re-
piled that it was secret not to be dis
closed. Immediately he was ordered
to the block, the emperor alleging that
If such an art should be practiced gold
and silver would be reckoned as moth
ing" The 'Gesta Romanorum" pre-
tends to be nothing but collection Of
amusing stories, and in it Pliny fact
and myth are so mingled that it is hard
to separate them. In this particular
case, however, it appears that the old
Roman naturalist might have been tell.

DOCTORS DON'T DENY IT.
The frank testimony of a
famous physician.

Wien DR.. Aver announced his sarsapa-
ri1la to the world, he at once found the
physicians his friends. Such remedy
was what they had looked for, and they
were prompt to appreciate its merits and
prescribe it. Perhaps no medicine-known
as patent medicine is so generally ad-
ministered aud presc ribcd by physicians as
DR.. Ayers Sarsaparilla for blood diseases,
and diseases of the skin that indicate a
tainted condition of the blood. Experience
has proved it to be specific in such
diseases, and sores of long standing, old
ulcers, chronic rheumatism, and many
other like forms Of disease have yielded to
the persevering use of DR.. Ayers Sarsapar-
lila after other me dicines had utterly faile ed.
The testimonials received from physicians
to the value of this remedy would fill a
volume. Here is one leaf signed by Richd
II. Lawrence, NJ. D., Baltimore, Md.
"It affords me pleasure to bear testimony
to the success which your preparation Of
Sarsaparilla has had in the treatment of
cutaneous and other diseases arising from
vitiated condition of the blood. Were it
necessary, might give you the names OF
at least fifty individuals who have been
cured of long rding complaints simply
by the administration of Dr.. Ayers Sarsa
pa-rilla. One very remarkable instance
was that of quite old WON n who had lived
at Catousville, near this city. She had been

To See the Unseen.

An Austrian inventor claims to have
invented an electrical apparatus by the
use of which person may sit In a
dark room and look at a scene in an
other part of town. regardless Of COR
ners, intervening buildings or any
other buildings or any other obstruc-
tons. 1t is claimed that The instru-
ment operates similarly to the te!e-
phone. Scientists explain the trans
mission of sound over telephone wires
by the theory Of sound waves. The
inventor of the new instrument, which
is called 'fernseher," claims that his
appliance transmits light waves just as
sound waves are carried over the wire
by electricity If the new invention
proves to be success it may be pos
sible for a person in the heart Of the
United States to see something that is
happening on the opposite side OF the
world.
