cause an explosion of the character of that
on board the Maine. We know of no In
stance where the explosion OF a torpedo or
mine under a ships bottom has exploded
the magazine within. II has simply torn
q great hole in the side or bottom. through
which water entered, and in consequence OF
which the ship sunk. Magazine explosions
on the contrary. produce effects exactly
similar to the effects of the explosion on
board the Maine, and We should naturally
look, not for improbable or unusual causes,
but those against which which we have had
to guard in the past
THE most common of these is through
fire in the bunkerS. Many of our ships
have been in danger at various times from
this cause, and not long ago fire in the
Cincnnati's bunkers actually set fire TO fit
tings, wooden boxes, etc, within the maya
zine and had it not been discovered at the
time ii was it would doubtless have result
ed in a catastrophe on board that ship
similar TO the one on the Maine.
II shall again emphasize the fact that no
torpedo exploded without ship has ever
produced. or, according to our knowledge
can produce an explosion like that Of a
magazine within"

A BARBAROUS SURGICAL OPERATION


Is not only intensely painful dangerous
to life and very expensive, but ia the light
Of modern medical research and since the
discovery OF the Pyramid Pile Cure a sur
gical operation is wholly unnecessary. II
you have any doubt on the point kindly
read the following letters from people who
know that our claims regarding the merits
of the. Pyramid Pile Cure are borne out by
the facts.
From n. A. Stall. Ridge Road. Niagara
Co., n. Y: 1 received your Pyramid Pile
Cure and tested it last night. IT did me
more good than anything l have ever found
yet, aud remember this was the result or
one nights treatment only.
From Penn ". Arnett, Batesville. Ark:
Gentlemen-Your Pyramid Pile Cure has
done me so much good in so short time
that my son-in-law, Capt. Il. j. Klein, OF
Fort Smith. Ark, has written me for your
address, as he wishes to try it also.
From A. L. Townsend, BenvilIe, Ind:
1 have been so much benefited by the Pyra-
mid Pile Cure that enclose 81 for which
please send package which l wish to give
to friend of mine who suffers very much
from piles.
From John H. Wright. Clinton. Dewitt
Co.. ILL.,: / am so well pleased with the
TyIdIllu flte Cure that tiiuh IL Dul ilSnS
to drop you few lines to inform you its eff
fects have been all that could ask or wish.
From p. A Bruton, Llano Tex: Gen
tlemen-The Pyramid Pile Cure has done
so much good for me that will say for the
benefit of others that after using only two
days 1 am better than 1 have been for
months.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is prepared by The
Pyramid Drug CO. of Marshall, Mich. and
1t is truly wonderful remedy for all forms
of piles. So great has been the number OF
testimonial letters received by them from
all parts of the country that they have de-
cided TO publish each week a number OF
such letters
All druggists recommend the Pyramid Pile
Cure as they know from what their GUS
toners say that no remedy gives such gem
eral satisfaction.

Another Theory.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The Army and
Navy Journal will say tomorrow regarding
the cause of the Maine disaster: "At the
present time of writing indications favor
The presumption that the explosion of the
Maine was due to the spontaneous combus-
ton of coal in the forward bunkers, pro-
ducing a temperature sufficient to overhead
the intervening bulkheads and thus effect
the explosion of the ammunition stored in
the adjacent magazines. Whether this is
the correct explanation or not, 1t is signifi-
cant that it is Immediately advanced by
many prominent naval officers Some two
years ago the Cincinnati narrowly escaped
u like fate from the same cause and similar
fires have originated in the bunkers of both

Ready to Go 10 War.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
ANDERSON, Ind, Feb. 1S-Reports re-
ceived early this morning that Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee had been assassinated threw this
city into a state of excitement. The tele-
graph office was besieged for the purpose
of verifying the report which had come in
over railway wires and mad been given out
from the depots The Western Union made
no announcement. The excitement all
through the gas belt over the Maine affair
is very strong, and men are talking war in
stead of working. The factories are filled
with men who want TO see war and would
readily go to the front on the first provo
cation. All fiagstaffs in this city have the
bunting flying at half mast on account Of
the Maine affair. Many here knew young
Harry Keys, of Indianapolis, who was

WHY THE OCEAN BULGES.

If familiarity does not always breed
 contempt, yet at least it generally
 breeds indifference, says Prof. George
 H. Darwin in the April Atlantic. This
 is the case with most of us in regard
 to the rise and fall of the tide by the
 seashore, and so the problem as to whether the tide will serve convenient ly to allow the children to dig in the sand or search for seaweed looms larg- CT than that presented by the gigantic forces which now produce only these somewhat insignificant pulsations of the sea. Yet the tides should call forth in us deeper interest," might almost say an emotion-for they are the feeble residue of influences which have probably exercised a pTedomi- nant control over the history of the earth and the moon since an indeter- minate but remote epoch in the past, and will continue that control into 1 the distant future. According to the law of universal gravitation, the moon attracts matter which stands near tc her more strongly than that which Is more remote. It follows that the at l traction on the ocean, at the side of the earth which is nearest to the moon
 must be greater than that exercised on | the solid earth itself. Hence there is a tendency for the sea to depart from it's natural spherical shape, and to
 bulge outward toward the moon. Sc

 But hope may be too strong.
 You may hope that your cough is nothing very serious, that your ca tarrh will go when the warm weather comes, that consumption will spare you though it strikes others.
 What is good name for such "hopefulness?" Carelessness? Thought lessness? Foolhardiness?
 It is peter to KNOW than to HOPE.
 You can only know that you are SAFE when you are perfectly WELL and free from sickness.
 You can easily learn the way to be well, if you wish it. It is the system of an eminent scientist, whose advice you can obtain free, and who is giving to those who need it free medicine to alleviate their suffering.

far the matter is simple; but it is per picking to many that the moon should apparently repel the water lying on the further side of the earth. This ac- tion, however, is not due to any ideal repulsion from the moon, but results from the fact that on the further side the moon must attract he solid earth more strongly than it does the water. On the nearer side the moon pulls the water away from the earth, and on the further side she pulls the earth away from the water, thus producing an aparent repulsion of the water to an extent equal to the attraction on the other side. In this way there arises a tendency for the ocean tc bulge equally toward and away from the moon, and to assume an egg-lige shape.
