Constipation OF the bowels, usually
considered a simple complaint, Is the
more dangerous because it Is deemed
trivial. Trifles neglected become the
most serious Of ailments. "a dose Of
physlc will cure it " is the usual remark.
But the dose never cures. 1t relieves
for the time, but aggravates the COM
plant for the future, and next time q
bigger dose Is needed. The bowels,
strained, weakened, poisoned by re-
peated dosing with strong drugs, be-
come more and more constipated. invit-
, Ing appendicitis. deranged liver and
stomach, weakness Of the urinary or
gans, bad blood, and chronic organic
diseases OF various kinds. CONSTIPATION

Herrmann's Clever Trick With .
Quart Bottle of Champagne.

Herrmann's Clever Trick With .
onart bottle of Champagne.
"The late Hermann, the magician,
said George Carroll OF st. Louis, Il
knew quite well and used to see great
deal of whenever he visited my home.
He was a most interesting man and
perfectly wonderful with his peculiar
tricks.
"In connection with his ability to
palm or conceal articles, no matter
what might be their size, remember
rather interesting story that used to De
told about him. He was one night at
q dinner in one of the clubs here, and,
the conversation turning naturally on
palming as a fine art, Hermann was
asked by a fellow diner II he could
palm a quart bottle OF champagne.
Previous to answering the query the
magician pulled up the -eeve OF his
coat, exposing his right arm almost to
the elbow, and then taking bottle OF
champagne In his hand said: TO palm
an object successfully it must be sufii-
ciently small. either to be concealed by
the hand itself or by hand and wrist
combined. In the case Of bottle or
champagne. that as you will observe,
is impossible, for the body of the bottle
is of too great girth for the wrist to
conceal, and n portion will project on
one side or the other or on both sides.
as the case may be. The only way |
can think of to dispose of bottle of
champagne Is to do as l now do with
this one-throw it at that waiter over
there
"Suiting the action to the word, he
apparently hurled the bottle with great
force at a waiter standing near the 9TH
er end of the table. The waiter duck
ed, men rose from their chairs with
CALCULATIONS. and in the confusion the
bottle of champagne totally and entire
ly disappeared. Clever, wasn't it"-

SCIENTIFIC safe @CraclzinE."

In the experiments made in burgla-
rious way, among others, a $4,000
square safe of the most approved con-
struction was attacked by inserting in
the crevice about the locked door
4 $40 ounces Of nitroglycerin, and in
eight minutes after the operation Of
loading was begun the charge was
fired, with the result that the whole Of
the jamb below the door was blown
out and a hole made In the door of suf-
fcient size to admit the hand and arm,
while the doors and divisions of the
interior compartments were completely
shattered. On repeating the operation
with Az ounces of forcite dynamite the
door was completely torn off.
Among experiments made to demon
strate the resistance of structures to
attack by a mob was one upon a safe
20 inches cube, with walls AZ inches
thick, made up of plates Of iron and
steel, which were REINFORCED ON each
edge so as to make 1t highly resisting,
yet when a hollow charge Of dynamite
0h pounds In weight and untamped
was detonated on 1t hole three inches
in diameter was blown clear through
the wall, though a solid cartridge of
the same weight and of the same ma
terial produced no essential effect

SCORPIONS AND FIRE.
The Poisonous Animals Are PartIcI
larry Sensitive to Heat.

The Poisonous Animals Are Particu-
larry Sensitive to Heat.
An interesting question has from
time to time been discussed by natu-
ralists and Psychologists, as to whether
the scorpion commits suicide by sting
ing himself with his own venomous
dart. Experiments have often been
made, which consist in surrounding
the scorpion with a circle OF fire, usual
ly formed Of small pieces of burning
Goals.
One may then see the animal agitate
his tail in the air. waving his dart to
and fro over his head in n desperate
movement and finally fall dead, ap-
pearing to have decided that he could
not escape the flames and to have in
oculated himself with his own venom.
This idea is now, however, found to be
erroneous, as it has been proved that
the scorpion is not affected by his own
venomous fluid, and the hypothesis of
his suicide cannot be maintained. It
appears from later observations made
upon the death of the scorpion under
the conditions in question that a more
simple explanation is to be found.
Scorpions are, in fact, sensitive to
heat and are easily killed by 4 temper
ature not exceeding 80 degrees cent?
grade. If one concentrate the solar
rays upon scorpions back by means
of lens, one may observe that he tries
by means Of his tail to remove the
cause of discomfort. 1t is this move
ment of defense which has hitherto
been mistaken for one of suicide, and
in reality the scorpion has been killed
by the heat to which he has been ex-
posed under such circumstances
