Mr.. Elmer Gates has succeeded in in
ducing the electric spark to make a
picture of itself without the interven-
ton of the camera. He did this after
numerous experiments by causing it to
be conducted directly through the sensi-
tive film. The wonder is that the idea
was not thought out long ago. The re-
suit of such an experiment is not
photograph, but a direct print of the
spark and it's operation in passing
through, and is valuable to science for
obvious reasons 1t now has the means
at hand of securing the autograph"
as Mr.. Gates we'll terms it, of the cleo
trio current in any of the Kaleidoscope
forms it takes-endless and numberless
in variety and beauty. The Gates ex-
periments demonstrate that the eiec-
tric current travels in the direction OF
the least resistance through conduc-
tor = which is not perhaps new-but
that in making such a passage it does
not travel uniformly through the body
of the conductor, but selects number
of special paths mutually DIVERGENT.
Also it is thus proved that there is
essentially no difference between the
spark of a static machine and the spark
of an induction coil.

have every reason to think my cure
permanent one, as 1t has been year
since then. I can heartily recommend
Pe-ru-na as a catarrh remedy; it will
cure when all other remedies fail"
Thomas Gahan.
There are thousands of people who do
not believe that catarrh can be cured.
The reason for this is, they have had
chronic catarrh many years. They have
been taught that catarrh is local dis
ease. They have tried to cure their
catarrh with local remedies. They have
used sprays and gargles, inhalations and
fumigations, and still they have catarrh
just the same. These things sometimes
help them temporarily, but they soon
relapse into their former condition
again.
The trouble with all this is, that ca
tarrh is not a local disease. 1t is a sys-
temic disease, and can only be cured by
the faithful use of systemic remedies.
Catarrh once in the system, cannot be
removed by using local remedies. The
very best that local remedies can do is
to assuage some disagreeable symptoms.
Pe-ru-na is systemic catarrh remedy.
It meets the enemy in its stronghold,
within the system. Gentle and persist
entity it eradicates the disease from the
system. Pe-ru-na is the only systemic
catarrh remedy yet devised which cures
catarrh. Up to date there has been no
other remedy that will, in any degree,
take the place Of Pe-ru-na. For free

MAJOR A. A. MADISON.

Major Algernon A. MADISON, Of the
Tenth Volunteer Regiment, stationed at
Macon, Ga, in recent letter to DR..
Hartman from Washington, D. c., says:
"I think there is no better medicine on
earth than your Pe-ru-na for catarrh.
1t has surely cured me. Itwould take a
volume to tell you all the good 1t has
done for me. Pe-ru-na is the greatest
remedy ever prepared, and I think l
have tried them ALL"
Mr.. Ben L. Griffin, postmaster at Ban
ner, Miss, writes the following in regard
to his wife. Mr.. Griffin says: "My wife
suffered with catarrh of the head for
four years. She tried several different
doctors, and many kinds of medicine
recommended for such troubles as she
was afflicted with. She had a disagreea-
BILE headache with an awful soreness in
her nose, and sometimes breathing was
very difficult. I heard of your medicine
through your circulars, and decided to
give it trial. After she had taken only
one bottle she began to feel so much
better that she continued taking it, and
after the use of two and one-half bottles
she was entirely cured. She recon-
mends Pe-ru-na to all women, believing
it to be especially beneficial to them"

Big Ears am Evidence of Rectitude,

from the bench yesterday in comment
ing on the physiognomy of Gilbert
CLOSER, a fifteen-year-old boy charged
with assaulting Fred E. Moses. Il

boy scarcely knew whether the Judge
was sarcastic or sincere, and he fum-
bled his cap bashfully while his ears
turned red The spectators Uttered.
but Judge Wofford continued sternly:
81 am inclined to give you a chance,
my boy, on the strength of your big
mouth and generous ears. You've got
a good face. A man with little ears
like a fox's or a squirrels, won't always
do. They need watching" After
warning CLOSER never to carry knives
or revolvers, Judge Wofford sentenced
the boy to the reform school and then
paroled him with instructions to report

and congested populations is laid the
blame for ills due to too little fresh air
Hartley declares the chief ills we COM
plain of are due more to contamination
of the air we breathe than to any other
cause. and women more than others
suffer from it who are addicted to in
door life.
This is a strong way of stating IT
We think it is putting it much too
harshly. The American women of to-
day take more outdoor exercise than
their sisters who preceded them The
sports and entertainments Of the day
and the methods of exercise which are
popular tend more and more to draw
them much into the open air. Women
far more than men are subject to colds,
and as a rule because OF the moor
habit. English women are far less sus
ceptible to changes of the weather, to
colds from exposure to draughts, etc.
because as rule the English women
from childhood are brought up to the
habit of much walking in the open air
on broad, stout shoe soles and over
country roads and byways.
We believe there are far fewer pale
puny and purple American women than
there were ten years ago. Wheeling
outdoor fashionable games. lighter
while warmer costumery, and the pop
ularity of outdoor exercise have done
much for American women. But no
doubt there is room for still greater
improvement in their health. They are
scarcely in danger Of indulging in TOO
much outdoor life. Even neglect OK
household duties may be largely ex"
cused if the time is consumed in whole
some exercise in pure, bracing ana
vitalizing air.
We believe that proper ventilation is
now far better understood in American
homes and more practiced than it was
even few years ago. We all better
understand the danger and Ills whlcn
flow from breathing the waste products
of the body, with which the air OF III
ventilated rooms occupied by human
being is charged. If, as Mr.. Hartley
insists, our women as they grow older
manifest a. disposition to live for most
part indoors, then they certainly 90
need advice direct and sharp upon the
subject It may be as he states 1T, but
certainly the young women of the day

railways is greatly reduced in subways,
because the care of tracks is less ex-
pensive, there being no wear or disar-
rangement of them by other vehicles
than those constructed to run upon the
rails The original cost of laying the
track is far less in a subway than on
the surface, for obvious reasons. 1t Is
altogether certain that the cities OF the
future will provide as a part of city
convenience large subways on principal
lines of street, to be used by street rail-
way lines on terms provided by law.
The anti-expansionist press has been

Of Negros receive the offers Of the

considering all the circumstances we
think it remarkably large vote. In
deed it is surprising that for first at
tempt in the exercise of the elective
franchise. as many as 5000 adult men
could be induced to avail themselves OF
the ballot. It is fair to assume, may
we know it to be fact, that no coercion
was used, that no strong effort was
made to bring out a large vote. Our
officials properly contented themselves
with explaining what a vote means,
what an election is, and with con-
stantly and patiently educating the
adult men on the subject. That a hand
full of officers in so large a community
scattered over an island of great area,
SO far succeeded as to lead 5000 men
to come to the polls of their own free
