charged with having exploited his po-
sition as chairman OF the electricity

There Is a story told Of \ supporter
of Cardinal Masartn. who oetsn ~.
minded the cardinal Of his many
promises and his dilatoy performances
That statesman. who had real regard
for his faithful adhsrent. and was
unwilling to lose his friendship. nnal-
ly took him by the hand one day and
explained the many demands made
upon a person In his situation a. min
lister which II would be polite to sat-
isfy previously to other requests, n
they were founded on services done 70
the state. The suppliant for his sav-
ors. not very confident OF Maaar,n's
veracity. thcrcipon replied: My lord.
all / now ask is the favor that when
ever we meet In public you will do me
the honor to tap me on the shoulder
in an unrescrved manner" The car
dinal smiled and assentcd and In the
course OF two or three years public
tapping MaHarin's supporter became a
wealthy man on the credit Of these
attentions, which cost the minister so
little and the state nothing.

The problem of tapping the giant
strength Of the sun, Of controlling
some portion Of the power and heat
70 freely given to man. has been pass-
ed from the ancierlts to the moderns
through the hands Of the greatest men
Of learning Of all times without any
adequate solution until the dawn Of
the twentisth century The Grecian
Archimedes. the Edison of his day,
was perhaps the FIRST to handle the
question. and to set II travelling down
the centuries. Ericsson. the American.
and Mouchout, the Frenchman. were
among the last to seek the solution.
and both succeeded In making the sun
operate small motors. Nothing more
was done until Dr. William CaIvsr Of
Washington invented the panhelio-
meter and can now control q greater
degree Of heat than man ever operated
before. The nercest degree OF heat
that anyone has hitherto been able to
make Is the 5000 degrees that have
been registered In the electric arc. DR..
Oalver is able to generate 1900 de-
grees with absolute safety. while he IL
at present at work constructing an ap-
paratus which will easily give him the
mastery over the full amount of heat
that he generates.
With his Invention, which, brieny.
consists of an arrangement Of mirrors.
to reflect the suns rays upon focus
ing spot. DR.. Calver could burn down

level plain without as much as light

There are many causes of get

Sufferers from this horrible malady
nearly always inherit it-not 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. $. 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 the
disease never returns.
Cancer begins often in a small way, as the
following letter from Mrs. Shirer shows /:
