BATHING IN ELECTRO LIGHT.
Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.

Painful Ailments Quickly Banished by
 the Heat Rays.
 It has been found that there are many painful ailments which, when acted upon by electric heat and light avs, are completely banished from the sufferers body, says Pearson's Maga- zine. Strong electric light iS thrown onto the seat of suffering: the patient basks in bath of light and heat, ex- periencing nothing but pleasant sensal tions. and, in most cases, an immediate and comforting sense of relief from pain. Men and women who for years have lost control of their limbs and who have unavailingly tried every known cure, have arisen after a course of electric-heat baths and walked with perfect freedom. The appa5 atus which enables patients to bathe in electric light is extremely simple To an ad Unstable stand are fitted two large cop. per or nickel-plated reflectors, which can be moved in any direction II a patient is lying in bed refectors are placed on either side, adjusted to tho exact position for locating the rays where desired. On the reflecting sur- faces are the electric lamps which ra- diate the luminous heat rays. The heat may be regulated by varying the dis lance of the refectors, or the number of lamps, or by means of a special regulator which controls inc electric current. Those parts of the body, such AS the armpits or shoulders, which it you'd be impossible to treat locally with other arrangements, are easily dealt With by the new system. When the patient is in the right position and Is comfortably settled Che may be fully clothed, or covered with blankets without affecting the power of ths rays). the current is turned on and heat and light of considerable intensity are immediately produced. In a few moments the thermometer will register 800 degrees Fahrenheit. I have seen patients chatting cheerfully and ex- periencing no inconvenience, while an affected limb has been exposed to heat rays at temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It might be supposed that such heat as this would roast limb. Undoubtedly there would be evil re- suits were it not for the important fact that dry heat is employed, which evaporates precipitation as soon as 1t appears on the body.

WHERE GOLD GROWS.
Fi esb. Deposits of the Precious MetA,
 Every Year.

Ff esb Deposits of the Precious Metaa
 Every Year.
 There are localities where gold may be said to grow every year. or, in other words, where fresh deposits of the precious metal are to be found annu- ally, says "Answcrs." One such dis trict is in the Edmonton country, in .he Canadian northwest, where, after ehe spring floods from the same banks and benches" of the Saskatchewan river, there are taken every year con- siderable quantities of gold by few diggers, who make their living out o3 the business. But the most conspicu- ous and interesting case of this sort Is tC be seen near Ichang, in the pro- vince of Hupeh, in China. For many centuries past each year gold has been washed from the banks of coarse gray el on both sides of the River Han, and in the midst of the auriferous district there is an ancient town called Uiku- Gen, which means Gold Diggers' Inn." u inhabitants subdivide the gold bearing ground among themselves an- nuallv, stalking out their claims with partitions. They pay no royalty and appear to earn no n1os e than a bare subsistence, but this may be doubted. as John Chinaman is an adept at lay In low and sayin' nofin'' The ans nual river floods bring dowu millions of tons of mud and sand. which is charged with gold, both fine" and in flakes, IS deposited to a depth of six Inches or more on the banks of gravel. t is in tho winter that the gold is washed, and il is said that seven mea work about twenty tons of the pay dirt" h fay

HOW WcoLoRAFFEcTsINDUsrRY
One Reason Why American Machinery
 Is Not More Popdlar.


 Is Not More Popdlar.
 A gentleman who has traveled much and has very large interest in Amer ican export trade said, in conversation the other day, that the principal uraw- back to a wider extension of American commerce in certain parts of the world Is that manufacturers in the United States do not sufficiently study the wants, the customs and the tastes of their prospective customers. For ex- ample" he said, "a certain American firm sent some electrical goods, which were decorated in green, to Japan. They did not sell any. No Japanese would bring such things into his house; it would mean an invitation to the evil deities. Green is an evil color in Japan. What a Japanese wants Ia red things. Upon this simple matter of color rests the failure of that manu- facturer to succeed in expors trade" A German employer of labo. S; |: T like American machines so far as their performance of their work is con- cerned. but they demoralize my men. They come here in sober colors ot paint and with DO bright parts. The men who attend the machines do not have any brass to keep clean or any surfaces to rub, and they get lazy The German workman needs to be kept busy with things of this sort" Here, now, are some practical instances ot what the American manufacturer must learA before he can attain the widest success ill the new field of foraigp trade. Do not send to Germanay cata- logues in the English language or to Japan things decorated in green or to the isthmus of Panama anything with blue spots in it. It locks as if We need In this country commercial kinder garten in which such information as the above may be taught to those of curious and inquiring mind for tseir everlasting ten 1t .sal oft.

is placed therein. The operation thus
goes on from day to day. The men in
charge of the machine unlock the lower
part and the liquid pulp falls, to be
drained in a pit below. The residue,

WITH AMATEUR ADMIRALs.
Routine Duties of Cadets at the An

One of the best-conducted naval schools
in the wCrld is that at which the officers
of the United States navy receive their
training. 1t is thorough in every depart
ment, and the young man who graduates
well up in his class is fitted for almost
any station on board a ship of war. The
record of one day there is the record of
all days-a strict observance of all the
rules of discipline and thorough instruc-
tion in every detail of naval warfare.
The cadet is aroused from his slumbers
at O'Clock each morning. He is not per-
mitted to toss his bedclOthes aside as hap

The bugle sounds the first call to recita-

ENDED THE PosToFFICE.
DereIict Postmaster Demanded It's
Abolition When Censured.

Col W. 7. Sullivan, postofiice inspector
in telling some stories of an inspectors S
experience in the West, yesterday recall
ed tale on Inspector Furay, of Omaha,
now retired.
Omaha was headquarters for this en-
tire district few years ago The chief
inspector there was informed that post
master in Montana was not sending in re-
ports of his Office receipts, etc. Repeat
ed letters and warnings had no effect.
The postmaster was silent
At length the Indignant chief detailed
Inspector Furay to proceed to Montana
and investigate the strange silence. After
long and tedious ride by rail and stage,
Furay arrived at the provoking postoffice.
There were two dwellings in the town and
but two men. One of the small houses
was stocked with a few dry goods, gro
ceries, and general merchandise. Furay
entered and saw lone, lank individual
with a long black beard. seated cross
legged on the top of counter. Furay
asked where the postoffice was.
Right hyar." said the tall man, puff
f1ng his cob pipe.

II be-" was the Indifferent response
'Ts there any mail here for me? My
name is Furay."
LUX yonder fer y'r self responded the
postmaster with another puff at his pipe,
and he pointed TO box at the other end
of the counter The inspector did so and
then asked if the postal business there
was always conducted in such manner.
wy, suttinly." said the lank smoker.
The inspector then announced himself
and proceeded in vigorous terms to state
the law regarding the handling of mail
and the absurdity Of allowing people to
pick out their own letters.

led the postmaster, calmly. The inspec-
tor stated sharply that If necessary he
could revoke the pOstmaster's commission
