SneeZe and Blow.

That is what you must do when you
nave catarrh in the head. The way to
cure this disease is to purify the blood
with Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medi-
cine sorthes and heals the inf1amed
surfaces, rebuilds the delicate tissues
and permanently cures catarrh by ex-
pelling from the blood the scrofulous
taints upon which it depends. Be sure
TO get Hoods.

THE KEARsARGE's TURRETs.
No Official knowledge of Trouble
with Theri

Naval officers have been greatly inter
ested in some gossip which has reached
Washington from the Brooklyn navy yard.
1t is TumoFed that the electrical turning
gear OF the turrets of the Kearsarge has
failed. The story describes the utter use
lessness of the machinery and the likeIi-
hood that it must be removed Of course
the same crippling of machinery applies to
the Kentucky which is Identical with the
kearsarge.
Nothing is known officially OF any such
condition on board those vessels In fact
all the reports received at the Navy De-
partment indicate that the electric turning
gear Of the Kearsarge and Kentucky will
be thoroughly efficient The machinery is
still in the possession of the contractors or
subeontractors. the latter being the Cen
eral Electric Company.
1t is possible Chief Constructor Hich-
born says that there may be defects in the
equipment, but the system has passed the
experimental stage. He instances the cleo
trio turning gear on the Brooklyn. where
the system was operated with complete
success and has been highly praised by the
lation amply sustained the demands of
actual warfare The American ship has
met with so much success in her electric
turning gear that the Russians have
adopted il for the ships building at
Cramps, and the British Government will
also use the same system

SNAlLS' TEETH,
They Run About 10000 to the Snail
But 1000 or So Are sed at One Time.

"It is fortunate thing for man and
the rest of the animal kingdom" said
the naturalist, that no large wild
animal has a mouth constructed with
the devouring apparatus built on the
plan of the nsignificant-looking snairs
mouth, for that animal could out
devour anything that lives. The snail
itself is such an entirely unpleasant,
not to say loathsome, creature to handle
that few amateur naturalists care to
bother with it, but by neglecting the
snail they miss studying one of the
most interesting objects that come
under their observation.
ANY one who has noticed a snail
feeding on Il leaf must have wondered
how such n soft, flabby, Shiny animal
can make such a sharp and clean-cut
incision in the leaf, leaving an edge
as smooth and straight as If it had
been cut with knife. That is due to
the peculiar and formidable mouth he
has. The snail eats with his tongue
and the roof of his mouth The tongue
is ribbon which the snail keeps in
L
in reality a band saw, with the teeth
on the surface instead of on the edge.
The teeth are so small that as many
rs 10000 Of them have been found on
one snairs tongue. They are exceed
ingly sharp and only a few of them

few of them, but few of them

use at once. He does this by means
of his coiled tongue. He can uncoil

coiled part he brings into service The
roof of his mouth is as hard as bone.
He grasps the leaf between his tongue
and that hard substance, and, rasping
away with his tongue. saws through
the toughest leaf with ease, always
leaving the edge smooth and straight.

come dulled. When the snail finds
that this tool is becoming blunted he
uncoils another section and works that
out until he has come to the end of the
coil. Then he coils the tongue up
again and is ready to start in new,
for while he has been using the lat
ter portions of the ribbon the teeth
have grown in again in the idle por-
tions-the saw has been filed and re-
set so to speak-and while he is using
them the teeth in the back part of the
coil are renewed. SO | think | am
right in saying that it any large beast
of prey was fitted up with such a de-
vouring apparatus rs the snail has it
