The Declaration of Independence Now Blank
Parchment.

The original copy of the Declaration
of Independence is no more. The
stirring text and the signatures of the
members of the Continental congress
have faded away and the precious doc
ument is now practically nothing more
than large sheet of parchment. Part
of the words. Declaration of indie
pendence,' which were written in
large letters with many ornamental
flourishes are ecipherable. but not a
One hardly diScernible stroke of John
Hancock's pen is all that remains of
his bold and vigorous autograph,
which he purposely made large so as
to show the British government that
he had no fear of being known. The
Declaration is preserved in a narrow
drawer, glass covered, which slides in
steel safe with heavy double doors,
locked by a combination. After its
removal to the State Department from
Independence Hall in Philadelphia,
where the Continental congress held
its session on July 4, 1875, it was
placed in glass case and exposed to
the view of visitors Owing to the
strong light to which it was subjected
it began to fade, and it was then re-
moved to the drawer in which it is
now preserved but the fading contin-
ued. Jetferson's original draft of the
Declaration. with insertions in the
of Franklin and John
Adams, is still exposed to public
view. Strangely enough. the ink on
this draft has not faded. The writing
is still as clear as it was 125 years ago.
The original Of the constitution of the
United States is preserved in the same
case with the Declaration. The ink
shows no signs of fading The sigma
lures of George Washington and the
other members of the constitutional
are AS clear as if they had
been just written.

THOSE GNAWING RATS,

81 felt as though rats were gnawing at the
coats of my stomach" Three famous men
have all left this expression on record in
their writings. They were all sufferers
from chronic indigestion or dyspepsia. of
which the horrible sensation they thus de-
scribe is symptom. Other signs are
heaviness and distress after eating, bad
taste in the mouth, dryness of skin, variable
appetite, fiatulency, broken sleep, bad
dreams and Nightmares, billiousness, fatigue
and WEAKNESS without labor, ETC., etc.
We work with our head and nerves and
this makes the dyspepsia of the student,
the business and professional man, the
worried man and the majority of women.
We throw food, often unassorted and in ex-
cess, into this weak and unwarmed stom-
ach, and bring on acute inhammatory dys-
pepsla or gastric catarrh. with symptoms
and results which make life a terror. Ask
anybody who has it.

Proof of the Nebula Theory of Creation.

Prof. Ritchey of the Ierkes observa-
tory, Chicago, has discovered proof of
what is known as the nebular theory
of creation and he is now preparing
for the technical journals the an
nouncement of his discovery. This
theory was announced by the famous
Frenchman, La Place Proof has also
been adduced of the theory that the
solar system and even the star clusters
have been formed by millions of years
of slow evolution from great bodies of
gaseous matter, floating in space.
He also proves that nebula, with a
star for a nucleus, changes its shape
and the quantity of light it emits and
that these changes of light are so
rapid as to be observable within the
compass of a few hours.
