On the Interoceanic railway Of Mexi.
CO a part of the track has been laid on
ties of jarrah wood imported from
Australia for this purpose. The jarrah
wood Is obtained from one OF the larg-
est trees of the forests of Australia,
which grows to an average height of
200 feet, and Is about four feet in dia-
meter at the trunk. There Is usually
an interval of $50 feet to the first branch
or, in the case of tree of extreme
height, such as 300 feet, as much as 18O
feet. These trees furnish timber which
Is sound in every respect, there being an
absence Of dry rot, gum veins and other
defects that often characterize large
trees.

Naval Lessons of the War.

German experts hold that the develop
ments of the Hispano-American war
have confirmed the judgment of the
trainers of the recent German navy
In the matter Of the prominence given
to thickly armored battleships. They
have also shown, 1t is contended, that
torpedo boats are only capable of be-
ing used at night and that even then
they must be of certain size if they
are to be operated Independently. Above
all, it is pointed out, no navy can hope
for success unless it has plenty of coal
ing stations.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Bird Emigration Began at the Close
of the Glacial Epoch.
Wilmer Stone, in a lecture at the
Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadel-
phia, on the birds of Philadelphia and
vicinity, considered "The Birds of
Spring." enlarging especially on the SUBJ
ject of song birds and migration. He
remarked that the lowest type of birds
produced only very few sounds, usual
ly very harsh. and that the highest de-
velopment of bird language was only
met with in the Oscines, or singing birds.
The variety of notes in the higher and
their various Significance was also treat
ed Of, the cries of fright, warning, call
notes, etc. The period of song, the
speaker stated, usually began about the
time the migrating birds reach their
breeding grounds, and continues till the
beginning of the post-nuptial molt. In
the fall and winter but few birds are
heard singing. Taking up the subject Of
bird migration, Mr.. Stone spoke Of it's
probable origin at the time Of the ir-
regularities OF temperature incident to
the closing of the glacial epoch and it's
continuance at the present time, at the
time Of our spring and autumnal sea-
sOns.- He illustrated the regularity and
arrival of various spring migrants with
a diagram showing dates Of arrival of
the swift barn swallow and wood thrush
for eight consecutive years.

Weather Forecast. for the Ocean.

The weather bureau at Washington
now furnishes forecasts Of the probable
conditions upon the North Atlantic
ocean for the benefit Of the big passenger
steamship companies and their patrons.
This is the most important advance in
the science of weather forecasting for
many years, and 1t is made possible by
the use of reports now received from the
West Indies, the Bahamas, Bermudas,
the Azores, Portugal, France and Great
Britain. The transatlantic and coast
wise commerce OF all nations will receive
great benefit from this extension of our
weather service.

benef1t myself and family have received
from using your Dead Shot to Catarrh.
i Last fell caught a heav. cold and
could not break it up, and 1t resulted In
catarrh in the head. 1t kept growing
worse and commenced to settle on my
lungs; 1t bothered me to breathe; was
raising large quantities Of phlegm and
was very much worried over my con-
dition. 1t 80 happened l was delegate

dustrial Union. last winter, and the last
evening Of the session. had been at
a committee meeting, and Eric Olson.
state lecturer of F. A. & l. g.. was pres
ent. and Just as we we're parting he
took out of his pocket little box and
commenced putting something into his
-nostrils. I asked him what i was; he
said It was Dead Shot to Catarrh. I
asked him if 1t was good for It; he said
It had been highly recommended to him.
I told him I had been suffering with
catarrh for some time and asked him to
let me try 1t; he did so and I took the
name Of the man who made 1t, ]. B.
Dukes, of Minneapolis. The next morn
ing found it had helped me very much.
When l got home sat right down and
sent in an order for one-half dozen

ears had stopped, and it had cleaned
cut my lungs. l could feel the accumu-
lation in my lungs loosen and raised |:
in chunks. My daughter. Gladys, has
had catarrh for a long time; we have
tried several remedies, and among them
DR.. Halls great remedy, that he offered
to give 500 for any case it will not
cure. She used several bottles and got
no. relief. She bled at tho nose con-
tirually. She had not used one-half
box Of Dead Shot before the bleeding
was stopped and she was almost well.

this section and l have got to find one
person that has used 1t who is not con.
vinced that 1t Is the only remedy that
will cure catarrh. thereby preventing so
many from dying with consumution.
Everyone who uses 1t tries to keep it III
the house, as 1t Is a sure cure for cold
as soon as it Is contracted. am con-
vinced that after a person has once had
catarrrh, 1t being parasite, the men,
brane of the nose will never get natural
again, and they will always be more
susceptible to colds and eatarrh; but
with Dead Shot to Catarrh always On
