The waters Of tho Lithia Springs
are odorless, free from color, with "a

or produce any feeling Of discom-
fort. find from the analysis Of the
waters, they contain Chloride Sodium,

upon the mucous coating Of the

arc powerfully Alternative and tonic
Thcy arc everything to ~inhamed or

tho blood, changing it from acid to
alkaline. In Indigestion, Catarrh of
Stomach and Gastrolgia, supple
mented with proper diet, they are
a certain cure. The action upon the
kidneys is marked. Tho Sodium,
Potash, Soda, Lithia, are tho bost

confident that the profession will find
it very useful in cases where this

met in tho court house yesterday and !
was called to order 10y County Chair
man S S. Cunningham promptly at II
o'clock.
1t was smooth sailing over calm
sea, and everything that was moved
went without hindrancc until the reso.
luton offered by Mr.. Blease to submit
the question of liquor to the voters in
separate box came up. As soon us a
motion to adopt was made Mr.. A. G.
Jones was on his feet and made an anti
dispenSary speech, and this Of course
was only Il signal for u reply, which
came from Mr. Bleaso in red hot dis
pcnsary speech. After these two bat
tcries had been spent Mr.. j. Y. Cul-
breath poured oil upon the troubled
waters III Il calm and plain statement Of
the case and the debate ended, and the
resolution was adopted without dis
senting voice.
County Chairman Cunningham brief
ly stated the object Of the convention
to be to elect delegates to Il State con-
ventiOn and to elect county chairman.
The first thing was II temporary organ
iZatiOn.
Mr.. G. l.. Blcasc nominated Hon }.
a. Sigh for temporary president, and
he was elected. Mr.. Sigh on taking
the chair thanked the convention for
tho Nouor conferred, but said it was Il
duty FROM which he had always shrunk
but he would accept ON this occasion
and would promise to be fair and impair
tial.
MIR. &. J.. BlCasc nominated Joe G..
Chalmers for temporary secretary and
he was elected.
Mr. &. l.. Blcasc nominated T.. II.
Aull for assistant secretary and he was
elected.
The rCll was then made up and Mr..
Rlcasc moved that the calling of it be
dispensed with, but afterwards with
drew his motion.

The following, with illustrations
here shown, describes a new system o.
construction in heavy ordnance which
IS attracting considerable attention in
both the United States and Europe.
Very f1atterfng reports have been
made upon it by officials in the United
States service and by officers of the
British army, who We're sent here to
examine it. A model showing one
type of gun built under this system is
at the New York Life building. III
LaSalle street, Chicago. Several re-
ports upon it given by able engineers
and metallurgists concede important
advantages in it, making it possible
to give correct mathematical calcu-
lation of the power of resistance in a
very heavy cannon. Under the present
method of construction, this is impos-
sible.
A comparison of this new system
with the present mode will assist in
making clear the points claimed for
this invention. The present method

WHY DAYS ARE LONGER.

A story told by Lord. Peel shows that
this fine culture is already descending
upon our masses. At one Of the large
schools in Birmingham boy was
asked: what is the reason why the
days are longer in summer than in
winter" He replied at once, ct is
the property Of all natural objects to
elongate under the pressure of heat"
There you see the complete result of
modern training in the principles Of
science.
The boy had grasped fundamental
mechanical law taught him in a phys
ical or chemical class. and his mind
possibly an unusually alert mind, had
been trained not merely to learn, but
to apply. 1t is a mere detail that the
particular application was grotesque:
Lord Peels story represents a typical
result of that instruction in the gen
eral principles of elementary science
which we dignity by the name Of
technical instruction in England. It
turns the stolid billiards of the last
generations into the new generations
OF bright imbeciles, faciIe, glib, and
contented.-The Spectator.

out the disadvantages. After q gun ie

In a fortifcation cannon it will
prove a great advantage to have the

cannon Weighing 800 tons can be built
as cheap per pound as one weighing

the price increases in geometric7l

The seams between the disks .formfng

humorist and satirist of the time lost
no opportunity Of deriding and max
