THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(Bensons Plaster Is Pains Master.)

From the natural impulse TO "put some
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tices or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as a curative agent it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
Is advanced year 10y year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
elest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back. and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for wears TO the speculative merit
of Benson's Plaste-s; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In olicial comparisons with others, Ben

MOTHER OF PEARL CLOUDS.
Celestial Phenomena Observed by
the Danish Polar Expedition
Scientists.

The last Danish expedition which
was sent to the polar regions to study
the aurora borealis observed the So
called mother Of pearl clouds" which
are described in the reports Of the
Danish Academy Of Sciences. These
clouds resemble the so-called shining
clouds" These formations were given
their singular name 10y the Norwegian
meteorologist, Prof. Mohn. The Dan
ish twice had an opportunity Of seeing
such celestial phenomena. Once they
succeeded in measuring the distance
Of these clouds above the earth, which
was found to be about 40 hlometers,
says the London Standard.
The second time measuring was not
possible, because all the members Of
he expedition were in on place, but
they were able 70 make some remark
able observations about the movement
Of the cloud. At first il looked like q
horizontal band in the southwestern
horizon at height OF 80 or IS degrees.
Then il moved slowly toward the east,
stopped and finally returned 10 its
original position. During its retro
grade motion a part OF the cloud was
torn off. the fragment assuming a cir
eular shape, and floating alone with
iapidity Of one degree in four seconds
seward the south. Having passed
through seven degrees Of the hrma-
ment, this small cloud was dissolved.
1t IS evident that these motions are
peculiar to the mother Of pearl
Clouds" because another cloud which
was in the same tract Of sky az the
same time remained motionless. The
color OF these formations at the edge
was mostly red, but toward the middle
IL changed from rose color 10 green.
The clouds were visible in broad day
light about noon. An observation
through the spectroscope gave only
the lines Of the common spectrum Of
the sky at daylight together with
some absorption lines, which indicate
great quantity Of vapor. 1t was. per-
haps. the strong sunlight which pre-
vented the observation Of any pecu-
liarities in the spectrum Of these
clouds.
Their motion cannot be caused by
any wind. Prof Poulsen. the head Of
the expedition, is rather Of the opinion
that the mother Of pearl clouds" are
moved by other forces, partly, per-
haps, by electricity. Poulsen explains
the formation Of such a cloud by cur
rents Of negative electricity, by virtue
Of which the atmospheric vapor is con-
densed The clouds probably move
in the direction Of the electric cur
rents.
