The liquid in the little cavity is probably a

SOME MARVELLOUS MINERALS.
Quartz In Which Gas ubb Has Been
In Motion Several Million Yenrs

hEh
Dr. A. A. Julien of Columbia college has
in his possession two or three of the most
wonderful minerals in the world. One of
them is a piece OF quartz which he picked up
near Columbia, N. II. This bit OF quartz is
transparent and has a little cavity in It's
center filled with liquid, in which a bubble
of gas keeps jumping about from side to
side. The bubble is very smalr and can be
seen only under the microscope. 1t is about
one micron; that is, 1-25, 900 inch in
diameter, and 1t dashes from wall to wall
of the cavity in restless motion, like a.
monad trying to escape. Now, this motion
must have continued during the ages which
have elapsed since the consolidation of the
granite. In other words, the little bubble
was enclosed in the quartz several million
years ago, when all rocks were In a molten
state and the earth was in process of forma-
tion.
The bubble has been jumping about ever
since, unable, against the strong material
OF the quartz, to discharge its pent-up
energy. Probably, from this fact, II has
kept in motion longer and moved a greater
distance, back and forth, than any other
substance on earth. The cavity in which 1t
moves is about double its size. so that the
bubble travels about 1-25. 900 inch at every
jump, and 1t moves irregularly several times
each second. II 1t has been moving thus but
twice a second for but l 1000, 900 years It must
have Travelled / 400, 900 miles. OF course the
bubble has been jumping about for more than
1000, 900 years II the estimates OF the biologists
are correct. II is claimed that by measur-
ing the relationship Of the volume Of the
Omaha daily bee., 1899-08-06

course, any gentle heat will cause tho
change, but when we reflect that the bub-
BILE, like its fellow mentioned above (this
one does not jump about, has been in ex-
istance for millions of years, the potency OF
the human breath in causing the change
seems much more inspiring.
DR.. Julien has stilh an other gas bubble,
this one enclosed in a piece of white topaz
from Minas Geraes, Brazil, which under
the microscope shows some wonderful eff
fects. The cavity is tubular and the sides
or walls are parallel to the prismatic faces
of the crystal. The liquid in the cavity is
a quite strong brine, with still another
c~olorless liquid 0iquid carbon dioxide) oc-
cupying a central position. Look
ing through .le microscope you
may see the first cavity. then
the denser brine near the ends,
with infinitesimal salt cubes floating in it,
then in the center the liquid carbon dioxide
with the air bubble in the middle of it. The
curves of demarcation which show up be-
tween the c~olorless and the non-coSorless
liquid are very beautiful. 1t is really one
liquid floating within another liquid and
an air bubble in the center of all. The
air bubble always floats near the upper
surface of the cavity, whichever way the
mineral is held, so that the piece of topaz
is a natural spirit-level which has been in
existence since before man first came on
earth.
DR.. Julien has also many specimens CT

erals. That is, minerals containing internal
markings which seem to show traces of Or

The phenomenal cures made by Prof. s.
A. Weltner of Nevada, Mo-, have been so
astounding and wonderful as to attarct the
attention of scientists and physicians
throughout the world. An eminent physi-
clan who has won the esteem of the medi-
cal profession by his history of A~escula-
plus, the healing god, known in b.. C. 292,
says: "While it is true that we are told
that Aesculapius became so efficient in the
healing art that he actually succeeded so
far as to restore the dead to life, and in
this way offended Pluto who complained to
Jove of the innovation and Jove slew Aes-
culapius by a flash of lightning, still in
making my researches up to the present
day, I can say without hesitation that
Prof. S. A. Weltmer, the great Nevada,
Mo-, Magnetic Healer, has lone more for
science and humanity than did Aesculapius,
for this wonderful man has followed the
precept of the Living Christ. In this I do
not mean to be sacrilegious, but to en-
phasize my statement by saying that the
Nevada (Mo.) great scientist is following in
the path made by Him who was born at
Bethlehem and healing without drugs or
the surgeons knife. Again Prof. S. A.
Weltmer Is more generous to humanity
than was Aesculapius, for the latter had a
few followers, known as the Asclepiades,
who were bound by an oath not to divulge
the secret of the healing art, while any,

with Prof. S. A. Weltmer can receive in

THE sORROwFUL TREE.
Ii Grows In Persia and Blooms Only
mt Night.

There is a tree in Persia to which the
name THE Sorrowful Tree" is given. Per-
haps because it blossoms only in the even
ing.
When the first star appears in the heay-
ems the first bud OF the Sorrowful Tree
opens, and as the shades of night advance
and the stars thickly stud the sky the buds
continue gradually opening until the whole
tree looks like one immense white flower.
On the approach of dawn. when the brill
liancy OF the stars gradually fades in the
light OF day, the Sorrowful Tree closes its
flowers, and ere the sun is fully risen not
a single blossom is visible. A sheet Of
1ower-dust, as white as snow, covers the
ground around the foot of the tree, which
seems blighted and withered during the day,
while, however, it is actively preparing for
the next nocturnal festival. The fragrance
OF the blossoms is like that OF the evening
primrose.

afflicted with kidney and bladder troubles
for ten years and could find no relief in the
usual remedies. In one week he was COM

i'm his left ear for seven years; could not
hear a watch tick when placed against his
ear. Was permanently cured in three days
by Prof. Weltmer. Mr.. l.. w. Rains, a
wealthy lumberman of Hornbeak, Tenn,
suffered constantly with kidney trouble for
twenty years, also with constipation and
prostate troubles. Exhausted the best
medical skill, but no relief. He fortunately
heard of Prof. Weltmer, and was soon re-
stored to perfect health, and now says this
treatment will cure anybody. Mrs. NJ. e.
Hawkins, Louisburg, Kan, was afflicted
twenty years with prolapsus and enlarge

"What?" says the king, edo you name to

But l know when we wanted to mount it

jump seven miles off the topmost step to get

nine ton of oats, an nine ton of hay in
the day, an 1t took ninety-nine men in the
daytime, an ninety-nine others in the night
time, carrying his feeds to him; an when
he wanted a drink the ninety-nine men had
to lead him to a Tough that was nine miles
long, nine miles broad, an nine miles deep,
an he used to drink it dry at every drink"
says Jack, an then he looked at the king,
expectin' he'd surely have to make a liar
out of him for that.
But the king only smiled at Jack, an says
he, Jack, that was a wonderful horse en-
tirely, an no mistake"
Then he took Jack with him out into the
garden for his second trial, an showed him
a bee-skep, the size of the biggest rick of
hay ever Jack had seen; an every bee in
the skep was the size OF a thrush, an the
queeny bee as big as a jackdaw.
Jack" says the king, says he, Isn't
them wonderful bees? I'll warrant we, ye
never saw anythin' like them"
"Oh, they're middlln'-middlin' fairlsh,"
says Jack-"for this country. But they're
nothin' at all to the bees we have in Done

the felds.' says Jack, land one of your
bees happened to come in its way, an fall
into our bees eye. our bee would fly to the
skep, an ak another bee to take the mote
out of his eye"
do you tell me so, Jack?" says the king.
"You must have great monsthers Of bees"
"Monsthers," says Jack. "Ah, yer high
ness, monsthers is no name for some OF
them. I reminder" says Jack, says he,
"a mighty great breed OF bees mi father
owned. They were that big that when my
fathers new castle was a-buildin' lin the
steddin' of the old one, which he consaived
to be too small for a man OF his mains),
the WORKINGS closed in the roof, an 1t
was found there was a bee inside, an the

to toss the side wal to let 1t out, Then the
queeny bee-ah, she was a wonderful haste

out to take the air she used to o%verturn all
the bitches and hedges in the country; the

once she took II in her head to ny over TO

disolation there that the king Of Englan'
wrote over 10 my father II he didn't come
Immediately an take his queeny bee that
was wrackin' an runnin' all afore her he'd
com over himself at the head OF all his
army an wipe my father off the face OF the
earth. So my father ordered me TO mount
our wonderful big horse that l tould we
about, an that could go nineteen mile at
every step, an go over to Englan' an bring
home our queeny bee. An | mounted the
horse an started. an when I come as far
as the sea I had to cross to get over to
Englan'. / put the horses two fore feet
into my hat, an in that way he thrashed
the sea dry all the way across an landed
me safely. when I come to the king Of
Englan' he had to supply me with 999,00
men and $4,000 miles of chains an ropes
to catch the queeny bee an bind her. 1t
took us nine years to catch her, nine more
to tie her an nine years an 5000, 900 OF
men to drag her home, an the king OF
Englan' was a beggar afther from that day
till the day OF his death. Now, what do
you think Of that bee? ?" says Jack, thinkin'
he had the king this time sure enough.
But the king was a cutter one than Jack
took him for, an he only smiled again, an
says he:

queeny bee entirely"
Next, for poor Jacks third an last chance,

How the men employed in iron foundries,

other torrid places stand the terrible heat
is a mystery to all but the initiated. In
the melting room OF the United States mint
at Philadelphia the thermometer usually
indicates LOG degrees, in gas works 11S de-

grees, while in steamships the firemen some
times have to endure 140 degrees of heat.
In all these places the men wear very little
clothing. and undoubtedly suffer from the
exposure, but not so much as a person
might suppose.
The explanation OF this fact is that these
men are not reached by the humidity. They
are working in places where the artificial
