Ical advice absolutely free, by simply
sending their full name and post Office

cured of the various diseases of the Kid
neys, Liver, Bladder and Blood, Rheu-
matlsm, Dyspel STA and Chronic Con-

to be constructed two subsidiary dams.
The effect on Egypt will be magical.
Instead of watering only a small "trip

in check and its water led off in every
direction by means Of irrigation canals.
This will transform hundreds of square

an agricultural paradise
The immediate effect of checking Fa-
Their Nile in his rush toward the Med

there are people who are not satisfied
with ready made teeth. False teeth
NAV look Just as we'll OF better than
real ones, but public speakers singers
and other prominent people want the,r
own teeth reproduced in all their pecul-
i%arities of form and color and nlings'
II they have them. They want teeth
that cannot be told as false, and they
get them. not all at once perhaps, hut
one by one, az the originals give out.
In teeth that are made to order MOTH
inc is impossible, from the short, white
teeth of normal youth to the long, dis
colored mes of extreme age, ana TIE
prices range like those OF watches
The teeth are set in plates OF rubber,
GOLD and aluminium, bat the highest
achievement is considered to be a plat
mum plate. upon which has been fused
a lining of tinted porcelain similar TO
that used for gum work. Tinted plates
have been made of the same material
az the teeth, but as the porcelain shrlnks
in the firing the fitting OF such plates
is uncertain.
And now for tho answer to the ques-
ton. What becomes of false teethf
Sometimes they are lost. sometimes
stolen and sometimes left as n family
legacy. Generally. however. they are
bnried with the owner and lie forever
hidden in the ground.
It is occasionally suggested that there
Il ouite a business in secondhand false
teeth. but if there is such a traffic 1t is
not of large proportions. Secondhand
teeth are valuable only for the platinum
wire that they contain. and when they
fall into the hands of regular teetf
makers they are smashed up to get the
!, platinum out
Not long ago a man who tound
b double set Of teeth went with them u
a dealer. thinking that he had a prize
The finder was surprised when the deal
2 or refused to make an offer and salt
that 10 cents a set was all they wer'
\ worth to any one but the person who's
e mouth they fitted.
The expensive teeth are not market
v able. and the marketable teeth are no
n extensive. That is the whole thing Il
q nutshell.
e Yet teeth have been used over !

ARTIFICIAL TEETH
HOW They Ais MAZE ANC WHAT
BECOMES az THEM

The Perfection to WhIch Their lax
and Color Nothing Is Impossible TO
Modern Dental Art.
Hundreds of thousands of artificial
teeth are manufactured and sold every
year. What becomes of them? 1t is like
asking what becomes of pins and other
things which are practically indestruc-
tible.
Before making a guess it is worth
while to consider how artificial teeth
are made. The story is told in Nam
tucket of a sea captain who was a great
whistler until he lost one of his front
teeth by accidental contact with a be
laying pin. For some time he bemoaned
his lost accomplishment, until he found
that he could whistle very well with an
artificial tooth whitfield out of a piece
of wood. When a performance was de-
sired, he would calmly carve out an in
cisor and put it in position Then the
audience would wait until the tooth
was swelled by the moisture of his
mouth SO that it would not slip out.
When plates were discovered and the
expert dentist was able to supply a
whole mouthful of new teeth, the teeth
themselves were carved out of ivory.
But constant grinding would wear away
the ivory. and these elephant teeth
were not satisfactory.
Today all artificial teeth are made of
porcelain. and will outlast a Methu-
selah. Those which are known in the
trade as ''stcre teeth, being carried in
stock by the big dental supply houses,
are manufactured in enormous quanti-
ties.
The porcelain material, which con-
tains various mineral proportions, is
worked up like a sort of dough or plas-
ter, forced into molds and fused by in
tense heat in Il furnace. Each tooth is
covered with enamel and has one or
more metal pins in the back TO hold it
to the plate.
In large lots these teeth can be made
very cheaply. but there is IN item of
expense that cannot be overcome, and
that is the cost of the metal holding the
pin. The only metal which will stand
the intense heat of the porcelain fur
mace is platinum, and that costs at the
rate of a cent a pin simply for the raw
material. A great deal of money has
been spent in experiments to discover
some substitute for platinum, but moth
ing has yet been found.
While a cheap grade of ''store teeth
! can be bought for few cents apiece,
they are not nearly as satisfactory as
the standard commercial article which
is used by most dentists. A big supply
company will carry hundreds of samples
of teeth, all of standard qualities, but

The twenty-fourth annual banquet OF
knights of st. Patrick was held last
evening in the maple room of the Pal
ace. It was the universal comment OF
those present that the occasion was the
most brilliant and enjoyable in the MS
tory of the society. Covers were laid for
over one hundred guests, and the menu
from the Blue Points to the coffee and
Perfecto Regalias contained every deli
cacy imaginable. The banquet hall was
appropriately decorated. "Old Glory ana
the ancient flag of Erin gracefully droop-
ed their folds together from the head or
the board. The tables were arranged in
three parallel lines extending the entire
length of the banquet hall The orches-
ira was embowered from sight, and dur

the United States and ireland. When it

of the national anthem cheered II to the

Prior to the guests taking their seats
at the banquet grace was asked by the

president of the society, in eloquent and

In the hold of the steamship Acapulco
which arrived from Mexico yesterday was
a Theoretically sealed casket containing
the remains of James Cooke Kingsley,
who was either killed or committed sui
eide in San Salvador. and whose relatives
are trying to conceal the facts that led
up TO his untimely death.
Acting under the instructions Of Ev-
arts, Choate & Beaman, the well-known
New York law firm, Wilson & Wilson Of
this city made the necessary arrange
ments with the quarantine officers to have

the deceased's family to look out for its

pleaded ignorance when asked for the de-
tails of Mr.. Kingsley's tragic death.
Mountford Wilson stated that his firm
and simply made arrangements. for its
landing in the United States and having
it Immediately forwarded to the East.
He could not understand why the news
papers should interest themselves in the
matter, as there was nothing sensational
In Kingsley's untimely taking off.
Undertaken LeayeH was also 10th 70
say anything about the dead man. He
gave as his reason for being uncommunt-
cative that he had been employed by the
dead mans relatives and had been sworn
to secrecy He admitted that Mr.. Kings
ley was shot, but refused to disclose
where the bullet took effect.
Mr.. Kingsley had been engaged in min
ing in Honduras for number of years
and had amassed a small fortune. He
was said to be the son of the builder Of
the Brooklyn bridge and was known to
have had wealthy relatives in New York.
Rumor has it that he became mixed up
in a revolution in San Salvador and met
the fate usually accorded a member of a
defeated party. 1t is also said that the
deceased became tired of continued i'll
health and ended his sufferings. Mr..
Kingsley was 10 years of age at the time
Of his demise.
A special agent was sent to Honduras
to settle up his estate, and is expected
