1t is expected that unusually good
facilities for studying phcnomena con-
nected with the interior of the earth
will be afforded at the University of
Michigan, at Ann Arbor, where a well
Is to be sunk to the depth of several
thousand leet on the university
grounds. The Investigations on this
well will be carried on by Prof. |. G..
Russell of the department of eOlogy,
and DR.. Carl Guthc of the department
of physics, and the fact of deep well
being located so near the laborat orics
of the university will doubtless provoke
much original work on this subject.
In addition to questions of a geological
nature, involving the various strata
pierced by the boring, there are many
problems connected with the interior
temperature of the earth which arc
now interesting scientists. Results
from n large number of wells are now
desired for purposes of comparison,
and willie it is not to be supposed that
the Michigan well will make record
for depth, yet in the hands of scientific
investigators much should he forth

The efforts which Gov Merriam, di-
rector of the census, is making to
induce farmers to prepare statements
of their operations for the calendar
year of 1899, so that they will be ready
to reply definitely and accurately to
the enumerators' questions next
June, are bearing fruit. Some farmers
have forwarded ccpiesof statements
to the census office, accompanied by
inquiries as to their completeness
and correctness. The first and one
of the best Of these tatements
came from woman who operates a
farm in Pennsylvania on her own ac-
count. The paper shows not only the
acreage, quantity and value of each
crop, but contains also good inventory
of live stock and detailed statement
of the quantity and value of miscelane-
Gus articles produced. If every farmer
would initiate this woman, the agricul-
tural report of this twelfth census would
be marvel Of completeness and would
show the entire productive strength
of tho United States in food products.
The following remedy for smallpox
was published several years ago in q

that it conqucrs this dreadful disease in
every instance, no matter how violent
the case. Here is the receipt. Sulph.

water. Dose one tablespoonful every

scarlet fever, and that either disease
will disppear in twelve hours.
There is a complete failure of the

10 received by Dr. r. v. Pierce, the cele-
brated specialist in women's diseases,
chief consulting physician to the Inva-
lids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buff
falo N. Y.
1t Is only fair to say that it is not the
man that women write to, but the doctor.
One of the remarkable features Of this
correspondence 10 that years after cure
has been effected, grateful women con-
tinue to write to DR.. Pierce, being thank
full for health and for the kind and
fetherly advice, which was blended with
the PHYSICIANS counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
regained.
The offer Of free consultation by let
ter is extended by DR.. Pierce to every
sick and ailing woman. Every letter
received is read in private, answered in
private and its contents treated as sa-
cred confidence. To exclude any third
party from the correspondence, all
answers are mailed in plain envelope,
bearing upon it no printing or advertising
whatever. Address DIR. r. V. Pierce,
