There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few
years was supposed to be incurable. For
a great many years doctors pronounced
it local disease, prescribing local remedies
and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh 10 be a con-
stitutional disease. and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Halls

AMATEUR WORK IN ELECTRICITY

Anyone Can Produce the Mysterious
Force by Following the Formulas.
Few things are so interesting for
family group as experiments in an
amateur way with electricity and the
mysterious forces which can be easily
produced by following certain scientific
formulas. One of the simplest methods
Of producing a mildcuwent of electrici-
ty is to insert q steel knife and silver
fork in large orange. The handles of
The knife and fork should be some
inches apart and if they are connected
by an electrical measuring instrument
a perceptible current win pass. A
cucumber or any acid fruit may be sub
stituted for the orange.
The making Of a voltaic pile Is o
simple thing and when IL Is completed
the current produced may be allowed
to pass through dozen or more per-
sons sscatedina q room. All the parapher-
MALTA necessary will not cost a quarter.
Ten or more pieces of zinc an inch
square and the same number OF pieces
of copper of the same size should be
used and with them the same number OF
pieces of paper. the latter soaked In
vinegar. When these are at hand ar
range the pile in alternate layers Of
zinc and copper with vinegar-soaked
paper between-that is. first lay down
n piece Of copper and on it a piece Of
paper; then place a piece of zinc and
on that a piece Of paper; then copper
and paper and so on alternately, sep
arating the metals with the paper each
time and being sure that at either end
of the pile is piece Of zinc and piece
of copper.
When the pile Is completed it should
be soalSedin vinegar a moment and then
wiped dry. Then the experimenter by
placing a forefnger at either end OF
the pile can easily feel the current pass
ing through his body. In a number OF
persons sit in a circle and clasp hands
and those at either end of the line touch
respectively one of the voltaic pile, the
current will pass through the entire
party.

is produced by heat IS made by fas

STAFF OF LIFE is IN DANGER.
Doctors md others Now Claim That
Bread is BAD for the Health.

Bread is BAD for the Health.
And now the doctors and other peo-
pie who think for us and tell us what
to do and what not to do have begun an
attack on bread, the one thing which
has always been considered impervious
to the doctors probe and the micro
scopist's Instruments. In London the
war has been started and the wise. ones
are coming out in the magazines and
newspapers declaring that bread, far
from being the staff of life, might al
most be considered the staff of death.
T. P. O'Connor is the leader of the as
sault and he advances some novel and
interesting arguments in support of
his position that bread is highly in
furious and should be abandoned as a
steady diet.
at is a question" says O'Connor,
(which lies at the basis of the health of
every person in the community. II the
balance of expert opinion should prove
that bread is a destructive agent TO di-
gestion and health, as so many people
think, is it not time that the nation
should be told so authoritatively and
that another system of dietary should
be recommended for adoption? Topper
sist in the use of am unhealthy diet is
ethically as great an offense against
ourselves as the ABSORPTION of gin by
the sot of the west or the eating Of
opium by the wastrel Of the east"
The contention Of those who are op-
posed to the eating Of such large guam
titles Of bread is that since it contains
so much starchy matter it is very diff
fcult of digestion and imposes q great
and unnecessary strain on the digestive
apparatus. O'Connor declares that d
number of people have come under his
notice who have abstained from bread
for years and they have retained their
faculties unimpaired to a ripe old age
The late Sir Isaac Holden is perhaps
one of the best examples Of this theory
He lived to be 81 years old ard retained
every faculty until the very last HC
was very active in and out of parliament
and smoked and drank in moderation
All of his friends attribute his longeyi
ay to the fact that he avoided all food
rich In starch, including bread. Starcl
foods are not digested in the stomach
but in the first intestine. They arc thu
difficult of digestion, and therefore
less healthy than other dietary articles

Rredicament of College Professor

Frqdicament of a College Professor
Owing TO VnssRr's Law.
Curious verifcation is said to have
been given not long ago to the tradi-
ton that no man is allowed to become
member of the Vassar faculty unless
he be married. If an unmarried man
make application for membership the
rule is to first inquire if he be married.
The proverbial exception to this rule,
says the Chicago Chronicle, occurred in
the case of a young man who sought to
fill the Vassar chair of history not long
ngo. and was so acceptable in every way
that his examiners forgot to inquire
into the most important thing of all
his state of double or single blessed
ness. Not until the day for opening the
college was at hand did anyone of them
recall how shockingly they had left
undoue those things which they ought
TO have done. The young man, by that
time arrived, had to confess that he was
a bachelor. Well, there was nothing
for it but the one thing, so the faculty
hemmed and hawed bit and finally got
st out that the young man must get
married.
wen give you just two weeks" they
Eaid. otherwise you'll have to resign
your place. Surely, you know of some
girl that you can get TO marry you
within two weeks"
It was now the turn Of the poor
young man to hem and haw, but he saw
that there was no alternative, his whole
professional future depended upon it.
30 he permitted himself to he hustled
off the campus before any of the sus
ceptible students caught sight of him
promising TO return within fortnight

though he had a pretty hard time full

Why ARE FLOWERS FRAeRANrq
sim n Subject of Discussion Among
the Scfcnffata.

the cctcntiata.
The great leading object Of nature in
providing nectar and fragrance IN flow
ers is still a subject of discussion in
scientific journals. That some flowers
are unable to fertilize themselves and
must have the aid of insects is certain;
and it is also certain that in many cases
this fertilization is accomplished by
the insects while on foraging expedi-
tions for the sweets which flowers fur
nish. But some well-ascertained facts
cover but a small portion of the ground.
The fertilization is as often accom-
plished by insects in search of pollen as
in search of honey; but it is not con-
tended that pollen is given to flowers in
order to make them attractive to in
scots, as is said of the sweet secretions.
1t is believed that nectar must be Of
some direct value TO the plant, as we'll
as the pollen; and the effort is to find
out what is the chief Office of nectar in
the life history OF the flower. Since
thought has been turned in this direc-
tion a new class of facts is being re-
corded.
In California grows n lupine Qupinus

possession of large tracts of land. 1t

has bright crimson violet flowers, and
these are produced in such abundance
that the color Of the mass may be noted

This is so powerful that the traveller
notes it long before he meets with the
growing plants. The pollen collecting
insects visit the flower in great mum
bers. 1t is believed that cross fertiliza'
tion can be effected by these pollen-col
lecting intruaers. At any rate, the frag
rance would be thrown away II II were

BICYCLE INSURANCE
II Is Not Always TO DC ImpIieitIy Re-
He'd On.


Tt Is Not Always to DC Implicitly Re-
lied On.
There is q lawyer in New York who
has no patience with the falkir who re-
sorts to the old confidence games when
the popularity of the bicycle offers
such wide field for genteel swindling
operations In conversation with BIZ
cycle del r the other day, the lawyer
told of e form of swindling. Said
he: "a an came into my Office the
other day to see what could do for
him. He had insured himself and his
bicycle in a western concern. The pol
Icy cost one dollar a year. He insured
the bicycle for S1O0. He was to get six
dollars a week if he was laid up by i'm
iuries received an an accident not due
to his own negligence while riding on a
bicycle, and If he died within 30 days
of the effects of the accident his heirs
we're to receive $500. And there were
yarious other clauses in the policy which
promised him sums ranging from 81
to 5000 for permanent injuries. He and
his wheel had been damaged about SIG
worth, the concern wouldn't pay, and
he was hot about it because he had been
told that the concern never didpay any
thing to anybody-only took in money
from bicyclists at the rate Of one dollar
apiece. Well, / wrote on to the con-
Germ in the west, calling on them to set
tie up, and they simply wrote back that
they weren't sa atisfied that the accident
wasn't due to his own negligence, and il
he thought he had q good case, why he
could come on and sue and welcome to
do it,
"There was no way of reaching the
concern in this state, il would have
cost 5000 or $500 TO go out west and
sue for the SIC, and there didn't seem tc
be anything more to do. Ny client was
simply out one dollar, and had gained
some experience. But the affair strucl
me as exhibiting an easy way of MAX
ing money"
"There are bicycle insurance con
Germs like that" said the bicycle
dealers. II know of another tina
does pay sometimes, just the same al
policy dealers do pay sometimes wheI
q customer makes n hit. This corceri
issues n policy that purports to insur
against damages to the bicycle cause'
by collisions. It seems to read all right
but when friend Of mine called upoi
the concern to do some fixing to hi
wheel, made necessary by a pile-up o.
the Coney island cycle path, they asle
him: Were you in collision with
public vehicle?" and when he aske
what they meant they showed him
clause in the policy which limited it
collision with public vehicles, and e.
planned that a public vehicle was
trolley car, for instance. But you pr
tend to insure against collisions Of an
kind my friend demonstrated. so W
do they replied. we win insure yo
against collisions with public vehicle

But you have to choose your accidenf

xvo,derfuI natural RECORDS.

Prof. Stanislas Meunier, of the Paris
Museum of Natural History, recently
called attention to the surprising va
riety of the records which the rocks of
the earth contain, relating to the simple
daily occurrences of millions of years
ago Among such records are to be
found not only the tracks of extinct
animals and the impressions Of rain
drops left in the wet sand or clay, but
also distinct traces of the effects of
wind and of sunshine upon the sea
beaches. Prof. Meunier illustrated, by
means Of experiments, the manner in
which these records had been preserved
by nature.-Youth's Companion.
