A device has been introduced for the
purpose Of combining the good effects
Of exercise and the physiological ef-
fects Of electricity. BY this apparatus

chine resembles the ordinary exerciser.
with elastic cords passing over the
pulleys, but the cords serve as conduc-
tors and the handles ar electros. Close
to the hand Of the exerciser is an ap-
pliance which enables him to increase
the current strength at pleasure A
metallic foot plate with which the ap-
paratus is supplied can be placed in
the circuit, so that the current can be
passed through the body. It can be
so switched as to be directed from
either hand through the body to the
other hand. through the body to the
feet or through the feet to the
body. The drawing out Of the slide
Of an induction coil regulates the cur
rent in strength to meet all require
ments. The dosage Of electric current
which is supplied by this invention is
so slight that it would be difficult to
do any harm with 1t. and 1t may possi-
bly, prove Of much benefit to those who
use it to a moderate extent.

The developments OF recent years
have given new Importance to water
powers, aud at a recent congress OF
physicists at Dusseldorf it was pointed
out that great progress in the use Of
such power must follow the damming
Of mountain streams to hold back
water for dry seasons. The advan-
tages Of this water storage were thus
summarized: Creation Of uniform
water power for the factories in the
valley and inducements to increase
said industries. distribution Of power
by electrical transmission; a higher
water level in the streams. even in
the warm summer months, and a de-
crease Of their impurities; decrease Of
liability Of rivers TO freeze by the
drawing of Of comparatively warm
water; improvement Of the water sup
Ply for cities and irrigation Of barren
lands; decrease In the liability Of
foods and the damage done by them;
decrease Of the desire OF the inhabit-
ants TO collect in large towns; beauti-
flying the landscapes. developing FISH
cries, water and ice sports, etc, and
Improvement Of means Of transporta-
ton.

The finest contour Of female face, the
sweetest smile Of female mouth, loses
something if the head IS crowned with
scant hair. Scant and falling hair. it is
now known, is caused by parasite that
burrows into the scalp to the root of the
hair, where it saps the vitality. The little
white scales the germ throws up in bur
rowing: are called dandruf. To cure
dandruf, permanently. then, and to stop
falling hair, that germ must be killed.
Newbro's Herpicide. an entirely new re-
suit of the chemical laboratory, destroys
the :dandruff germ, and, of course, stops
the falling hair, and cures badness.
When you kill the germ you can't have
the dandruff or thin hair. destroy the
cause, you remove the effect.
