iulguritics Found Penetrating Thirty
Feet Into Sand.

From Pearson's Weekly: did you
ever see the diameter Of lightning
fash measured?" asked a geologist OF
the writer. "Well, here is the case
which once inclosed flash of lightning
fitting it exactly, so that you can see
Just how big it was. This is called a
'fulgurite' or lightning hole and the
material it is made of is glass. / will
tell you how it was manufactured,
though it only took fraction of sec
ond to turn it out. When a bolt Of
lightning strikes a bed of sand 1t
plunges downward into the sand for a
distance less or greater, Transforming
simultaneously into glass the silica in
the material through which it passes.
Thus, by it's great heat it forms a glass
tube of precisely its own size. Now
and then such a tube, known as full
gurite,' is found and dug up. Fulgur-
ties have been followed into sand by
excavation for nearly thirty feet They
vary in interior diameter from the size-
of quill to three inches or more, ac-
cording to the bore of the flash. But
fulgurites are not alone produced in
sand. They are found also in solid
rock, though very naturally of slight
depth, and frequently existing merely
as a thin, CLASSY coating on the sur
face. Such fulgurites occur in aston
ishing abundance on the summit Of
Little Ararat, in Armenia. The rock
is soft and so porous that blocks foot
long can be obtained perforated in all
directions by little tubes, filled with
bottle-green glass formed from the
fused rock. There is small specimen
in the national museum which has the
appearance of having been bored by the
teredo, and the holes made by the
worm subsequently filled with glass.
Some wonderful fulgurites were found
by Humboldt on the high Nevada de.
Toluca, in Mexico. Masses of the rock
were covered with thin layer of green
glass. Its peculiar simmer in the sun
led Humboldt to ascend the precipitous
peak at the risk of his life"

as much entitled to the State Fair as
Raleigh was! But since Raleigh al
ready had the Fair they held an indigna-
ton meeting and decided to get up
Fair of their own. SO they sent for
the same surveyor that laid off the
Raleigh fair ground. They told him
to lay off another exactly like it, but
it must be in MaXton.

threw up the job. He said it couldn't

CATARRH OF STOMACH.
A Pleasant, Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectual Cure for 1t.

Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered the next thing to incurable.
The usual symptoms are Il full or
bl0ating sensation after eating, accom-
panied sometimes with sour or watery
r;sings. a formation of gases, causing
pressure on the heart and lungs and
difficult breathing; headaches, tickle APP
petite. nervousness and a general play
ed out, languid feeling.
There is often a foul taste in the
mouth, coated tongue and if the interior
of the stomach could be seen it would
show n Shiny, inflamed condition.
The cure of this common and OBJ
stinate trouble is found in a treatment
which causes the food to be readily,
thoroughly digested before it has time to
fermcnt and irritate the delicate mucous
surfaces of the stomach. TO secure a
prompt and healthy digestion is the one
necessary thing to do and when norm
al digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal a tablet, composed of Diatase,
Aseptic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal
and fruit acids These tablets can now
be found Mt all drug stores under the
name Of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets and
not being a patent medicine can be used
with perfect safety and assurance that
healthy appetite and thorough digestion
will follow their regular use after meals
Mr.. n. j. Booher, of 2710 Dearborn
street, Chicago, ILL.,, writes: "Catarrh
is local condition resulting from a
lining membrane of the nose becomes
inflamed and the poisonous discharge
thcrefrom passing backward into the
neglected cold in the head, whereby the
throat reaches the stomach, thus produc-
ing catarrh of the stomach. Medical au-
thorities prescribed for me for three
years for catarrh of stomach without
cure, but to-day ] am the happiest of
men after using only one box of Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets. | cannot find appro-
pirate words to express my good feeling.

est preparation as well as the simplest
and most convenient remedy for any
form of Indigestion. catarrh of stomach

bloating after meals.
