Sufferers from this horrible rnalady
nearly always inherit it-ror necessarily
from the parents, but may be from some
remote ancestor, for Cancer often runs
through several generations. This deadly
poison may lay dormant in the blood for
years, or until you reach middle life, then
the first little sore or ulcer makes its APP
pearance-or a swollen gland in the
breast, or some other part OF the body,
gives the first warning.
To cure Cancer thoroughly and perna-
nently all the poisonous virus must be
eliminated from the blood-every vestage
OF it driven out. This S. S. s. does, and
is the only medicine that can reach deep
seated, obstinate blood troubles like this.
When all the poison has been forced out
of the system the Cancer heals, and tie
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows

ATOMIC WEIGHTS.


International Commission Deadi0caAo on
Selection of standard.
The International Commission on
Atomic weights seems to be deadlock
ed on the chief point at Issue. namely,
the selection Of a standard for atomiS
weights. 1t appears that the commis-
sion. with the exception OF six Ger
mans and one American professor
MalleD had pronounced unanimously
was thought to be settled until II was
found that In the last number OF the
Chemical News the German minority
had reopened the question by calling
upon all teachers Of chemistry to take
positive position regarding the mat
ter In favor OF II equals l. The Ger
man contention is summed up in the
following extract: For the teacher
simplicity and clearness of the foun-
dation seem specially important; in
struction must suffer no harm with
regard to the enlightening construc-
ton OF the law OF volumes, no shadow
OF doubt must penetrate the doctrine
OF valency. Regard for the under
standing OF prospective chemistry win
compel US therefore, under all cir
cumstances, in teaching an in our
text books. to retain Dalton's numbers
and Professor F. w. Clarke, the
worthy editor OF the Annual Atomic
Weight tables OF the American Chem
zeal Society. authorizes us to say that
he recommends the retaining of the
standard H equals /. For II numbers
were used in practice which we're un-
suitable to use in teaching, confusion
would be the natural consequence, in
stead Of the unanimity desired by all. :"
In opposition to this the 0 equals 16
| party assert that all teachers are not
troubled by using o equals 16 as the
standard, and that large body Of
chemists who are not teachers favor
1t for the reason that with it a large
| proportion OF the more commonly
used atomic weights approximate
very closely to whole numbers.

sisted OF the single course. already

race. sometimes twenty -four times the
length OF the course. and the race in
armor. The pentathion consisted OF
nve events, leaping with dumb bells.
throwing the discus. throwing the
spear, running and wrestling. A victor
was Obliged to win three out OF the
nve events. The wrestling was not
very different from what we have now
adays; but the boxing was done with
the hands enclosed in strips of leather
on which were fastened pieces OF
metal. This arrangement was calico
cestus, and you can imagine what a
terrible mass of blood and bruises
would result from such a contest One

the Others to the men and youths.
After each contest the victor was CIV

DELICATE PROCESS.

Taking Pictures of Sound - Highly scien.
tinc Operation.
Very much has been done in the
way OF obtaining Photographic records
OF sound, but perhaps the most inn
portant memoir on the practical side
OF this question is an article by BeA-
jamin f. Sharpe. When an unmixed
tone is received in a Helmholtz re-
senator, in the wall of which is in
serted a very thin glass plate. the
natural pitch of which is not too diff
ferent from the tone. the plate vibrates
to the tone with an amplitude having
an ultimate relation to the energy OF
the one. Measurement of this amplitude
becomes easy if the vibrating plate is
made to bear tiny mirror, which
mirror forms one element of a system
OF mirrors constituting a Michelson's
refractometer. So delicate is this
means of indication that a shifting of
the mirror half a wave length of light
will cause such shifting to one side
of the interference bands that each
dark band will take the position pre-
viously occupied by the next dark
band. With a telescope and micrometer
each band may with proper adjust
ment be subdivdied into 100 parts.
giving means of recording shift
equal to as little as one two-hundredth
of wave length. Il need scarcely be
said that the rapid shifts thus pro-
duced by tone can only be observed
by some such device as compromising
the motion with another at right an
giles, when comparison with tuning
fork and the making OF Photographic
records becomes possible, but for de-
tails and for some two dozen of the
records thus obtained We must refer
our readers to Nature. The records
show fork tones, tones of musical in
strunfents, noises and vocal sounds.

she avoided the practitioner who at
tended to her familys business, and.
rather rashly. pitched upon the first
gentleman whose doorplate caught her

Her choice proved an unfortunate
one. The lawyer in question was an

through. and he escaped his well-mer-
tied punishment.
A case that threw third light upon
the methods OF these human vultures
was tried some time ago in one OF the
western courts OF America. A young
lady typist employed in fancy goods
firm sued a solicitor OF shady repute
for attempting TO obtain money from
her by threats. II then transpired that
the girl, having got into scrape
through an unfortunate love AFFAIR. had
consulted the lawyer as to the best
means of getting out of the trouble.
Instead OF giving her the necessary adj
vice. the rogue had proceeded to de-
mand from her the sum of 800, add
ing that. unless the amount were paid
TO him within month. he would pub
lish her story TO the whole world. BY
lucky chance, a friend of the girl who
had accompanied her to the Office hap
penei TO overhear the conversation
from the adjoining waiting-room. and,
armed by the presence of this witness,
the plueky girl reta.iated upon the vii
famous solicitor by placing him In
the dock shortly afterward. He was
sent TO prison for long term, the
court complimenting the fair prosecu-
trix on the courage she had shown in
bringing the seoundrel to the doom he
deserved. A Matchmaking lawyer who
died some ten years ago in the West

Beginning with 77s B. c., the Greeks
'eekoned their time by olympiads. or
PERIODS OF four years when the olym-
pic games were held. A sacred truce
lasting for month put stop TO all
war between the various states az thu
time OF the games. This enabled ev-
eryone To travel In safety. as none
would dare 10 offend the terrible god
Zeus. Almost every town in Greece
sent representatives either to compet.
or 10 look ON at these contests and
from the islands along the coast as
Wen as from the colonies In Asia. Az
riea and Western Europe visitors
came for business or pleasure. No
women. except one priestess. were al
lowed TO be resent at the contests. All
competitors were Obliged TO prove that
they were OF pure Greek blood and
that they had spent ten motnhs In
preparation for the contests. Then

the thirty days Immediately preceding
The games In training at Olympia I'M

Ing this period the athlete and his
friends made frequent sacrifices and

they thought might assist in giving
him the victory. On the day OF the

To take a solemn oath at the altar OF

ireland Sole PosscsSor Of Creature of
Geological Interest.
Ireland has recently discovered it
self to be tie proud possessor OF an
animal which is exclusively Irish.
Only a mouse, it is true. but then the
smallest creatures have often the
largest geological interest. 1t appears
that on the North Bull Sandbank, in
Dublin bay. an islet about two and
a half miles long which began to ap-
pear above water during the last quar-
ter OF the eighteenth century, there
dwells in large numbers mouse so
much paler in color than the common
house mouse as to be distinct vari-
ETY. with legitimate hopes of one day
being recognized as a sub-species.
These mice are the descendants it is
supposed of castaways and have in
about century thus adapted their
coats in color to their sandy surround
ings for protection against the owls
and hawks which hunt over the island.
The North Bull Sandbank mice are
not all equally pale in color, and the
sociological interest Of the discovery
lies in the opportunity afforded sci
ence to ascertain in how many gener-
atoms a complete change Of color for
protective purposes is evolved. A long
bridge connects the sand bank with
the mainland, hut as this is an open
woodwork structure is is very unlike
ly that ordinary mice will intrude to
disturb the progress of this natural
experiment.
