NEW SOURCE OF GUTTAPERcHA
A German Says the Trees That Produe-
 It Will Grow in the Philippines,

In monograph, just published in ,iermany, it is shown that the Philip pines are among the few places on earth in which the trees rom which guttapercha is procured will flourish. Tt~4 value of this statement is not to be anderrated for two reasons: One is that guttapereha is an indispensable material for the making of submarine cables and golf balls; the other is tbat the trees in sumatra and Borneo from WhicE the chief supply has hi aerto been drawn are almost entirely ex- hausted. The cause Of this exhaus- ton lies in the primitive and destruc- tive methods which were formerly em- pleyed for gathering this valuable commodity. Ire natives who never have any thought for the morrow have gHthlessly cut down whole forests of trees, so that they might serape the guttapercha, which is nothing but the sap from inside the bark. This Whole- sale destruction carried or for years has greatly diminished the annual crop, but the discovery that these trees 6l oW cIU Cdu LIZ SutCSSSkuIly CuIGt- 7ated in the Philippines offers hope that new mine of wealth has been found foI American enterprise as soon as the islands are pacifed. While the chief use of guttapercha is, of course, for the isoIating covering of electric wires, large quantity is used for the manufacture of golt balls, for which 10 other material seems 70 yell adapt ed. It's hardness after eaylDg bce7 submitted to the proper pressure. ana it's t0ughness make 1t the only golf ball material yet discovered. The amount of cable laid since 1858 is some 41.853 knots, representing a cost for he rabies alone of millions of pound7 sterling, and as the prospects are that during tie next fifty years many more cables vill be required and laid the demand for guttapereha is almost un- limited. The wealth which gutta- percha in the Philippines holds ont to American enterprise ig In proos rtioo to this demand

MANY PEOPLE, CATCH COLD.
Slight Causes Often Produce 5erious Re-
 suits to Mems Health

The various ways in which cold may be brought on are thus described by Dr. ]. H. Kellogg "A little life blade of air blowing in through crack in a E,indow upon some part of tue body will chill that part and the blood vessels of that region will be, come contracted. affecting somewhere 40 the interior of the body an area in reflex relation with this portion of the surface of the body. For instance, the blood vessels of the skin of the top oi the shoulders and the chest are asso~ efated with the blood vessels of the lungs, so that whatever happens to the blood vessels of the skin of the Shoulders and chest happens also to the blood vessels of the lungs. If there Is contraction of the blood vessels of the back Of the neck there will be a contraction of the blood vessels of the nose and throat. and if there is contraction of the blood vessels of the top Of the shoulders and the shoulder blades, there will also be a contraction Of the blood vessels of the lungs
 When the in auence of the cold is con, Timed thls contraction is followed by =7azti ie2. When one pits his hands tato cold water. for few minutes they 51a trz1 nalo and then red. This is re. action. The longer the application and z4a more intense the degree Of cold the Ereater will be the contraction and tae congestion. So if the hack of the neck is exposed for a long time to thd influence of cold one is likely to have a cold in the nose and throat; if the shoulder blades and the tops of the shoulders are exposed one is likely to take cold in the lungs and suffer from congestion of the lungs. Ii the cold is fong contimlaa it may cause not only congestion but tn inflammation of She nose or lungs. So if the bottoms of the feet become wet or chilled a weakness of the bladder may result il there has ever been q trouble there, or q weakness of the stomach if there has beer ,atar"l 3f that organ.''

 What an unmodern sound is that ot "a devil possessed landW Still, Capt. Welbey, who has been wandering in the interior of Africa, declares that he found one there. It Is called Walamo. and is believed to be haunted by evil spirits. Capt. Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de- mons. lie found it a most winson1a country, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceiveo by Capt. Welbey wa5 the sudden madness of one of his men, This unfortunate rushed into camp a raVing maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and dan- gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbey's es- cort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala mo inhabitants while they ate. H.. himself, skeptical regarding these amazing statements, partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob ,arved him ak the white, he declarea With great fxity AfterWard. to his own astonishment. he began to feel exceedingly ill II does hot admit, however, that he vent mad, and as numerous explorations were subse- luently made by him, he probably die hot.

ELECTRICAL RESsARCH.
Some Things That i.avo Not Yct Been
 Found Out.

Prof. McAdie sas's that before IC'ts snergy of li9htning lash, and also in demonstrating the nature of the au- cora. That the aurora is an electrical phenomenon has long been recognized An intimate relation seems to exist b9, tween the aurora and sun spots. h 1882 the astronomer at Greenwich sent out notification of the appearance Of an enormous sun spot on Nov. lr ot that year. For three hours on the
 nornipg of that day not wire of the Western Union Telegraph company eould be used, and not even the mar ket quotations could be distributed. At night there was 8 brilliant aUroraf display and all telegraph service was again interrupted. Cables to Europe and wires 70 Chicago were alike ua- workable; but some messages were sent as 1ar as 700 miles by cutting of .he batteries and utilizing the atmos> pheric electricity. Over half O. Nortt America, across the Atlantic and ovsr northern Europe it seemed as if le- gions of ethereal demons were busy melting electric and magnetic appara- tus to stl ange and mischievous antics. The artificial production of an electric ffe-ball by Prof. Richmana is unique. though electricity in this form is not unfamiliar. Sometimes sucl. balls are seen to ru1 along the surface of the 6ea, and when they appear on land they usually burst with a loud noise, often with disastrous effects. Nobody aas yet been able to explain these balls, which appear to be a very con- centrated form Of electricity. When the experts say, as most of them do. that electricity is merely form of mo- tion, the explanation is more or less unsatisfactory, but how is one to ae- count for the presentation of form oi motion In the shape of a luminous sphere f-BostCn Transcript.

in that city. In a letter to THE GA

Grand Forks are looking fine, but
around Warren, Mimi, where he
was engaged prior to going oGrand
Forks, they were failure, on ac-
count Of too much water, it having
rained nearly every day for FIVE
weeks prior to his departure, and
on July 18th Warren enjoyed a regu-
lar flood, the water standing in
most Of the houses of the town from
.one-half to nearly two feet, and a
person could row a boat in the
streets. 1T looks pretty blue for
the business men there if they de-
pend on the farmers, and last year
the crop was drowned out the same
