An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGS, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA Fro SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
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 fcvers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
tc overcome habitual constipation per-
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's 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
effects and to avoid limitations, please
remember the full name of the Company

While many astronomers regard the
planet Mars as "dyiug world, others,
notably the Able Moroux and Colonel
iu Ligondes, consider it as a young
aad growing planet Moreux ex-
plains the doubling of the canals"
by an optical effect, and the other
holds that Mars was formed after the
earth aud Jupiter. Owing to its dis
lance from the sun and its light at
mosphere, Mars ought 70 be an icy
Desert, but observation shows that it
is not, aud hence lie concludes that
the body of the planet is still warm.
The "canals" he thinks, arc cracks
produced by coutractions of the crust.
The white poles of Mars are formed
not by snow, but hailstones. Mars in
short, is according to him, like the
earth when she was IN the primary
era.

POPULAR SCIENCE.

In Arabia, says a writer in la Ma

sandy deserts kind of fungus which
apparently resembles the manno OF
the Bible, and which serves ns food
for both men and cnmels when no bet-
ter is to be had. 1t appears on the
sand after every rain, sometimes in
little heaps. It is OF grayish color,
and the separate masses are as big as
peas. 1t has sweetish taste, and is

A simple piece of apparatus to meas
ure the intensity Of illumination WAS
recently described before the French
Academy of Sciences. 1t does not
need standard lamp, but it gives
relative values of different sources of
illumination. 1t consists of box
perforated with number of holes.
The first is covered with single film
of callodium with slight tint, the
second has two such films, and so on.
Beneath the holes is placed strip of
sensitized paper and an exposure of
n certain definite length of time is
made, and the highest number that
can be read on the paper gives
means for estimating the intensity of
the light. The apparatus is first
standardized with some source of il
Illumination whose intensity is known,
and the results are then computed for
the various openings. The objection
to this method is its dependence on
the color of the light, as the light
from some sources has rays with prop
critics quite different from those of the
sun, for example, which afford illumi-
nation, yet do not possess as great ac'
tinic power.

owing TO the unprecedented handling OF other and

Under ordinary conditions the lake carriers are
engaged in carrying coal from the East TO the
West and stocking the great bunkers for the
winter supply but in the summer. which ends to-
day, they have had more than they could do TO
haul other things which contributed more gener-
