An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects Of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid Taxa
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. 1t
is the one perfect Strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling
to overcome habitual constipation per.
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from SIENNA and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial

Electricity in the Cripple Creek
Mines.

Cripple Creek is perhaps the only
gold mining district in the world
where miner can go to his work in
an electric street car, descend. the
mine in an electrical hoist, keep his
mine dry by an electruc pump, do his
work by an electruc light, run drills
operated by electric air-compressors
possibly in time to be superseded by
direct electric drills) and fire his shots
by electricity from a switchboard re-
mote from the point of explosion.
1t is estimated that in the Cripple
Creek district the use as above of cleo
trio power, as compared with steam
power, effects saving of from Is to
81 per cent, according to the location
and circumstances in the mine.
Electrical power is revOlutlonizing
the mining industry at Cripple Creek
in reducing expenses, increasing pro-
fits and making available lower grade
ore, hitherto discarded or ignored as
incapable of being mined and treated
at a profit.-Engineering Magazine for

The Orientals Welcome to
Civilization.

When the Chinese cast the first rail-
way from Shanghai to Woosung into
the river, they were only preparing
themselves for arnetwork of railways
ali over China. When the Coreans in
Seoul destroyed lie new electric line
in that city and burned the cars, they
wer only having a serious celebration
prior to happy acceptance of this
new method of locomotion in which
they would crowd these radical means
of conveyance and bring good divi-
dends to the stockholders. After the
Siamese had looked at the wondrous
movements of the first electric rail-
way thatran through the great city of
Bangkok, they muttered a few COM
plants about its speeding along too
rapidly and not giving them sufficient
time for rest, and then concluded that
it was the best shceme for saving ex-
ira exertion in walking which their
crude minds had ever conceived! The
engineer should have little fear as to
the ultimate success of his enterprises
in Asia. The field is so wide and the
rewards so tempting that all of the en-
gineers of the United States, England
and Germany should be arrayed in
support of policy which will protect
and develop the utilization of uheir
talents throughout China.-Engineer-
