Put TO The Test.
Ellsworth People Appreciate Good
Thinu,

Every body has his hour of trouble
But people having any itchness of the
skin
Have many hours of trouble.
Nothing SO annoying, nothing so irritat-
ing.
Want to scratch it all the time.
It's hard and trying position.
Scratch it, it becomes worse.
Leave it alone and you can hardly bear
the misery
ltchiness comes in many forms
Eczema and horrid itching piles.
Relief and cure have come at last
Ellsworth has put it to the test.
Doan's Ointment cures every form of
itchiness of the skin.
People at home are learning thst this
is so

X. Chalmers Prentice, who has been
practising for many years i'll Chicago
as an oCulst asserts that he can in
fallIbly tell whether death is present or
not by simply noting the appearance
of the yeinSand arteries of the eye. His
experiments in this line began many
years ago, and he has never known his
simple test to fail. In cases Of EuS
pended animation where others nave
pronounced death his test has proved
that life still existed.
DIR. Prentice has observed that dur
ing life, when the back portion OF the
eye is being looked at with an opthhal-
moscupe, the veins can be clearly dis
tinguished from the arteries. The
former. containing venOus blood, richly
charged with carbOnic acid gas, appear
Of a dark. brackish color, while the
arteries, containing blood fresh from
the heart. appear bright crimson.
The difference between the two shades
Of color is SO clearly marked that mis-
take Is impossible. and the retina ap.
pears as II made Up of two separate
cOlors.
The arteries and veins. however. are
not situated in the retlna. but directly
behind it, in that coat of the eyeball
known as the chOrOid. Even in the
case of the blind this color distinction
Is present unless cataract exists
when the use of an ophthalmoscope
would be impossible.
DIR. Prentice has found that in death
the shade distinction entirely disap
pears and the blood in both arteries
and veins Is transformed into pinkisE
color Of uniform shade.

It seems natural that the largest
ranch in the world should be found in
the largest State In the UniOn-TeXas.
Indeed, this ranch is so extensive that
some States could not contain 1t.
Connecticut, for example, could not
hold It by several thousand acres.
The two States of Rhode Island and
Delaware combined could not contain
this immense ranch which consists
of 3,OOO,OO0 acres, or about 5000
square miles.
About a dozen years ago, when Tex
as needed new State Capitol. the
Legislature adopted a novel plan to
get 1t. A promise was held forth that
vast tract OF unappropriated land
would be given in exchange for suit
able granite building at Austin.
Among those tempted by this offer
were ex-senator Charles r. Farwell
and his brother John, who ultimately
formed u syndicate In Chicago ana
took upon themselves the responsible.
lty of erecting the proposed capitol.
Their part of the agreement appears
TO have been carried out to the salts
faction OF the State, and in due time
they came into possession OF the i'm
mense domain now known as the Y.
I. T. ranch Ladies' Home Journal.

"As every sportsman knows" said an
enthuiastic hunter, lit Is easy to see
a rifle bullet in the air, and those fired
from the new high-pOwer guns are
very curious to look at. Stand dozen
yards to ene side of the mark and let
a friend blaze away ut any range with
a small calibre weapon using smoke
less powder. and yOu'll see strange,
uluish-whlte streak the instant the
bullet strikes home The streak
is apparently a couple OF inches
wide and several feet long. and is
more like fash OF Hight than anything
else can think OF. With the Old-fash-
ioned Remington or Springfield carbine
the bullet has the aSspearanee of long
black rod, and | doI't know why there
should be such a difference in the Op-
teal illusion produced by the smaller
calibre. have he'rd sOUHe people deny
that the bullet can be seen, but they
are very much in error. II al depends
on getting the right view point. 4
few feet either way will render the
missile invisible, but the right spot is
soon found by experiment, and after
that the thing Is ~ Dlain ms day."

TA. o.rman Pat.nt sy.t.m.

German patents are especially valu-
able. because the search for previous
publications is, comparatively speak
ing, thorough. The government takes
no responsibility, however, for the cor
rectness Of its examination The
claims are also reduced to minimum
OF fconciseness. The public are invited TO
produce evidences of priority, or other
wise attack the claims OF the inven-
tors. TO this end the papers are pub
licly exposed for six weeks after the
patent office has finished its exami-
nation and before the patent is defn-
itely granted. Much patent litigation Is
probably thereby avoided, and the pub
lie is less likely to be led into invest
ments based on patents lacking in nov
city and unable TO Withstand the at
tacks which commercial success is
sure to call down upon them. II a
patent can exist five years without be
ing attacked, IT Is sure OF the rest Of
its term.-The Engineering Magazine.
