tions OF High-CIass Newspapers.
In presenting interesting phases of
scientific and economic problems, high
class newspapers frequently give in
formation of as great value in their adj
vertising columns as in those devoted
to the publication of the principal
events of the day; and when the fame of
a product is extended beyond its natural
limits into foreign lands, and large de-
mand created throughout Great Britain
and her Colonies and the principal sea-
ports and cities of Europe, Asia and At
RIGA. it becomes pleasant duty to note
the fact and to tell of the points of ex-
cellence on which so great a success is
based. We refer to the now world
famed laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs,
the product of the California Fig Syrup
Company. The merits of this we'll
known excellent laxative were first
made known to the world through the
medical journals and newspapers of
the United States; and is one of the dis
tinct achievements of the press. It is
now we'll known that Syrup of Figs is
an ethical proprietary remedy, ap-
proved by the most eminent physicians
everywhere, because it is simple and eff
fective, yet pleasant to the taste and &C.
ceptable to the system, and not only
prompt in its beneficial effects, but also
wholly free from any unpleasant after
effects. It is frequently referred to as
the remedy of the healthy, because it is
used by people who enjoy good health
and who live well and feel well and are
well informed on all subjects generally,
including laxatives. In order to get its
beneficial effects, it is necessary to get
the genuine Syrup of Figs, which is
manufactured by the California Fig
Syrup Co. only.

An Old. Old story.

The same old yarn comes from Eng
land about plants raised from seed
found in the cases of Egyptian mum
mics. We have had wheat and other
agricultural, products from those seeds,
and this time it is sweet peas. The
flowers are said to be- of delicate pink
and white and smaller than usual. The
estimated age of the seed is over 1900
years. This is probably plain fib
We have no authentic instance of vitali-
ty in seed of such age, and we have
many instances of lack of vitality in
seed that the florists work off on in
nocent Brooklynites, who hope to
beautify their lawns and gardens, al
though that seed is only four or five
years old and is sold as last years.
Probably the man who said he found
these sweet peas in a mummy case sly
ly substituted few of year-befOre-
lasts. Sweet peas put up 20 centuries
ago are not likely to have much gimp
in them-not much more than the man
they were put with.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Lifted Across the Mountains.

1t is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the Gulf of
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for irriga-
ton. finds its way to the Gulf of Mexico
A number of small streams on the 9TH
er side of Longs peak which flow into
Grand lake and thence into the Colora-
do river have been diverted by dltch
that finds its way through a pass 10000
feet high into the headWaters OF the
Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet per sec
ond have thus been diverted from the
Pacific to the Atlantic slope, where the
water is used for irrigating additional
farms in Larimer county. 1t is not
strictly correct to say that this water
has been lifted across the range, but
a feat of sinuous engineering has di-
verified it.-Chicago Chronicle.

LARGEST FISH IN THE OCEAN.
Bas1<inE Sharks Are VeritabIe Mon
sters of the Deep-SOme Forty
Feet Long.

The biggest fish that swims is known
by seafaring men as the basking shark,
from its habit of lying for hours on top
of the waves when the weather is calm,
basking in the sun. Scientific men call
this fish the rhinodon. They say its eX-
treme length is 40 feet, but there are
plenty of old salts who swear they have
seen ''baskers'' SO feet long. Huge as
the basking shark is, it never has been
known to attack man.
One came ashore off the New England
coast some years ago, and another was
beached on the California coast near
Monterey, in 1898. 1t was plump 40 feet
long, and this lends color to the sailor
mems big stories, since it is hardly
probable that the largest specimen in
existence has been caught. There was
a time when basking sharks were
termed common" but that time passed
so long ago that they now are counted
extremely rare, and the authorities of
the British museum have long made
standing offer of $1,000 for the unin-
iured skin of one. Prof. Jordan, of the
University of California who examined
the Monterey specimen, says that offer
never will be taken. In his judgment
it would require labor equivalent to the
work of one man two whole months to
fay goodsized basking shark.
The mouth of the Monterey specimen
was of appalling size. Stretched and
propped open, it measured ten feet
from jaw point to jaw point, and if its
throat had been of proportionate di-
mansions the notion that a fish could
not have swallowed Jonah would have
been exploded completely. A team of
horses wouldn' t. have been too large a
mouthful for the Monterey shark. No
one knows what it weighed, for there
but 60 tons, or less than an ordinary
locomotive, was given as conservative
estimate. Loaded on specially con-
structed truck it would have taken
dozen horses at least to haul it over an
asphalt pavement, and more would
have been required to transport it over
an ordinary country road.
The basling shark is not hunted ex-
tensively, because it produces relative
ly little of commercial value. Never
theless, the Portuguese fishermen who
captured the one at Monterey got three
barrels of oil from its liver and six bar
relfuls were tried out of the liver of the
basker captured on the New England
shore N Y Sim

only half of them were to mount their
machines on the same day, each tray-

neys would represent distance equal
to $500 times the circumference of the
