Among the contributions to astronomical
science which are expected from otserva-

May 2S. is the determination by phot lgra-
ply as to whether there exists an inter-
mercurial planet near the sun and the as
certaining. by spectrum analysis. of the
component elements of the solar atmos-
phere. In order to accomplish the first
mentioned object the Harvard Observatory
has had four lenses. each having an aper-
ture Of five inches. and a focal length OF
eleven feet four inches, placed on a single
mounting, in such a manner as 10 photo

A REASON FOR 1T.
There Is Only One Pile Cure That
Has Reached N National Popu-
Iarify and Reputation.

There are many popular medicines that
are known in every household in America.
There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics.
headache remedies, dyspepsia cures. and
cough cures. which are sold in every drug
store in the nation and beyond.
But all OF these must divide their pcpu-
larity with many rivals, no one remedy
has the field to itself. with the single ex-
cepton OF pile cures. for il is a singular
fact that there is but one pile cure that
can be considered as having a national
re eoutation. without a rival and the re-
ferred to is the Pyramid Pile Cure which
for seven years has steadily worked into
the public favor by reason OF its extra
ordinsry merit, until il Is known from
Mai.S to California and from Manitoba

II is true there are many pile remedies
having small local reputation for year
or two but the Pyramid Pile Cure has
rapidly supplanted them all and really has
the field to itself when anything like na-
JiOnal popularity is considered.
The explanation is simple. II is be-
cause piles is in no sense an imaginary
trouble that a bread pill or a simple talve
or ointment will cure, but an obstinate,
painful. and often dangerous trouble and
a remedy to give satisfaction must possess

ment for months with a remedy; it must
give relief and cure in short order or it
is condemned.
The worst cases of piles are relieved on

NEW YORK. May 5.-The financial
