Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special pre-
scription of DIR. A. Boschee, a cele-
DRAFTED German physician, and is ac-
knowledged to be one of the most for
tunate discoveries in medicine. It
quickly cures coughs, colds and all
lung troubles of the s~everest nature,
removing, AS it does, the cause of the
affection and leaving the parts in q
strong and healthy condition. 1t is
not an experimental medicine, but has
stood the test of years, giving satisfac-
ton i'll every case, which its rapidly
increasing sale every season confirms.
Two million bottles sold annually.
Boschee's German Syrup was intro
duced i'll the United States in 1868, and
is now sold in every town and village
in the civilized world. Three doses
will relieve any ordinary cough. Price

Hundreds, yes, probably thousands OF
different types have been constructed,
but nothing has proven effective There
was always a hitch somewhere. va
ration of the scheme, which has also
been tried repeatedly without success,
is based on the idea of a rocking plat
form. II rests on the surface of the
water, and derives its motion from
the constant agitation of the tides.
Young Edison. son of the great invent
or, was one of the last to experiment
with that plan. His platform was sur
rounded by stout framework built OF
piles, and as II rose and fell II actuat'
ed a series of piston rods connected
with a machine for compressing air
in which form he expected to deliver
the power. II he had taken the troubll
to read up on the subject in advance
he could have ascertained than an al
most identical contrivance was put up
by a Savannah inventor before the
war, and failed miserably. after swal-
lowing a small fortune The Savannah
man proposed to use his power to oper-
ate a sawmill, but he miscalculated the
force of the waves, and, after jolt

a storm came up and swept the whole
thing off the face OF the waters. This
was some time in the sos. l haven't
learned the exact fate of the Edison
apparatus. and the silence in regard to
II is ominous. Another recent device
was installed several months ago on
the coast near San Diego. Cal. 1t was
built on the plan of a striking ma
chine at a country fair. and the waves
were expected to deliver the blows.
which were then passed over gearing
to a dynamo. The waves were on
hand. and, at the first lick they knock
ed the entire plant into everlasting
smithereens. | am hopeful that the
right man will turn UP eventually, bct
at present the problem Is no nearer q
solution than it was 500 years ago.

THE two greatest forces in nature
are the sunlight and the sea, remark
ed college professor apropos of moth
ing in particular the other day; yet
strange to say, we have made little
or no progress toward Harvesting
either OF them for industrial uses. or
course. the effort has been made, over
and over again, and dare say scores
of able men are wrestling with the
problem at this very moment, but
everything thus far suggested has
proven a failure. The idea OF utilizing
solar energy has generally taken the
form of an engine in which the sun
does duty as a firebox. A friend OF
mine at Washington tells me that over
a hundred patents have been taken
out on appliances of that sort. They
are all more or less alike, the essential
feature being a mirror or combination
of mirrors which focus the suns rays
on a boiler of water. Some small
models have been made that worked
perfectly, but nothing on a practical
scale has ever been devised II goes
without saying that a solar engine
can only make steam while the sun
shines. and consequently could not be
depended upon for steady work. hut
the recent perfecting OF the storage
battery helps to remove that difficulty.
When the engine is working IL could
be used to operate a dynamo and the
current bottled up for future use. or
course there would be a good deal Of
power lost in the transmission from
one form into another, but as long as
the fuel costs nothing at all, that would
be of no special consequence. When
the real solar engine is finally invent
ed, as II must be sooner or later, the
world will take some immense indus
trital strides. 1t would enormously
cheaper all manufactured products.
The same may be said of any practical
method of harnessing the waves. That
problem has been wrestled with for
centuries, yet on the surface 1t seems
comparatively simple. The device that

About the cloister of the monastery

AN UNKNOWN
REPUBLIC FOUND

According to a report made by the
war Office the Russian troops made
the discovery OF regularly formed re-
public in Manchuria, which has been
in existence for upward OF half a CEN
tury. but was probably unknown to
any of the European powers, or, FIR
that matter. to the majority of the
European travellers in the far east. The
Mancuhrian republic is situated in the
basin of the upper reaches of the Riv-
er Sungari, and south of Grin. 1t is
known by the name Of Tcha-Pi-Gou,
and numbered originally 10000 citi-
zens: the population is now about 1OO,-
900 souls. In the beginning the mini
ature republic was governed by a tri-
umvlrate, and subsequently by presi-
dent Chan Yui Pao, who took all the
executive powers into his own hands
and organized tribunals. trade guilds.
taxes, etc. and regulated native indus
tries and gold mining. A small re-
publican army was created, and has
been permanently maintained. In the
battle fought by the Russians in the
valley of the Sungari some two months
ago the republican force offered a
more determined opposition than the
imperial Chinese troops. The Chinese
authorities in the province of Grin
have since its foundation always sh wn
friendly federation toward the Man
churian republic of Tcha-Pi-Gou.
