THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
(B0nsons Plaster Is Pains Mastery

From the natural impulse to ''put some

for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul.

Bensons Porous Plaster.

power as a curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard

TO STUDY FARM MACHINERY
German Govern me mt to Send special-
ist to This Country in Interests
OF Agriculture.

Baron Hermann. agricultural ex-
eeived word from the German govern
ment that specialist, designated by
the agricultural societies. will leave
Berlin soon for the United States to
make a careful inquiry into the nse
of American agricultural machinery.
with view to introduction into gem
eral use in Germany. Baron Her.
mann for some time has been urging
on the German authorities the
marked advantages of American agri-
cultural machinery. He looks upon
the move as one likely to prove ben
eficial both to German agriculture
and to American manufacturers. The
agricultural sections of Germany are
being depopu.ated while the manu-
featuring centers are becoming over
crowded. and it is felt by the Ger
man government to be desirable TO
give every modern facility to the
agricultural class to increase the pro-
ductive capacity of the farms to their
full limit. Baron Hermann has urged
this upon the government, and it is
now the purpose to make a thor
ough inquiry, both on the farms and
in the agricultural factory. The ex-
pert will arrive in this country about
the time the sowing season begins.
and through the spring and summer
will give his attention to the farms,
going to the agricultural factories in
the fall.

ditiOn Toward North Pole Being
PubIished by the Government.

DIR. Frederick A. Cook, the arctic
explorer. has just returned to New
York from visit to Belgium. In
Brussels he attended a meeting of
more than a hundred scientists inter-
ested in the recent Belgian expedition
toward the north pole. All of them
contributed some thing for the re-
port of the venture being published
by the Belgian government.
''This report" said the explorer,
sis the official record of the expedi-
tion, the story of which has already
been published. There will be IL
volumes. One of them, contributed
by me. contains a voca bulary of 3O.-
600 words of the Yahgan language,
the tongue of the inhabitants of
Terra del Fuego.
"Three antarctic expeditions are
now being fitted out on the other
side. The one from England will
start in August, going south of Aus
tralia, and the German explorers are
to start at about the same time. The
Swedish expedition will leave that
country later"
DR.. Cook is not going with any OF
them. He has been exploring for
years and now means to rest.
DR.. Cook said that the Belgian gov
ernment would present 30 sets of the
report to various institutions in this
country. among them Harvard and
Yale.

A MAMMOTH INDEX.
Completion of British Museum List
That Has Occupied Twenty
Years.

The index of books at the British
museum is at last complete. after 90
years of hard work, says the ST. James
Gazette. When the printing of the
great catalogue began in 1881, the
manuscript catalogue then used con-
tained 100000 references to about
half as many books-cross titles ac-
counting for the difference between
the figures. Since then something like
half a million new books have been re-
ceived at the museum, their average
yearly number being now 10000. The
preparation of the printed catalogue
has, of course, been enormously ex-
pensive. 1t was hoped at the start
to reduce the cost by issuing it to
subscribers, and for yearly subscrip-
tion of a3 los. subscriber received
all the parts published in the year.
As the number of volumes issued an
nually. however, rose from is to 80,
while the subscription remained the
same, the price of each volume fell
from the low sum of As. Sd. to 2s. 4d. :,
and the revenue from this source has
not been great. Only about ESQ copies
of each issue are printed. and only
about 80 are circu4ated-half of them
given away! In all there are over 600
volumes of the catalogue, containing
the titles Of 2.000,O 900 books. The sub
ject index will be the great task of the
British museum in the new century.
II Is to be commenced at once. but will
not be ready for IS years at least.

OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA.
Germany in the Markets Of
Country of the Gear.

United States Consul Winter, at
Annabere, Germany. has transmitted
to the state department a translation
of an article which recently appeared
in German publication bearing upon
Russian American trade. and the ex-
portation of American machinery to
Russia in particular. The article is
as follows:
"The increase in the trade of the
United States with Russia is notice
able. This is due to the cordial rela-
tions which exist between these two
countries, and to the less friendly at
titude of Russian merchants towards
the manufacturers of other countries.
The greater part of the orders for
the Siberian railway has been placed
in the United States. Another large
order. amounting to $685. 900 in value,
has just been placed in America, for
machinery to cut tunnel of about
one and one-half miles in length not
far from Charbin, in Manchuria. The
tunnel is to be finished in one years
time. Direct connections then will be-
completed between Europe and Vladi,
vostock. The United States has out
distanced Germany in the markets OF
Russia"

York Librarian Admits Danger
Of ContagiOn in Books.

DR.. w. A. Kuflewski, chairman of
the special committee appointed by
the public library board of Chicago
two weeks ago to consider the ad-
visibility of sterilizing the books in
the library regularly for the purpose
of preventing the spread of disease.
reported to the trustees at their
meeting strongly recommending that
some system he adopted of freeing the
pages of the volumes from bacilli at
regular intervals.
DR.. Kuflewski exhibited several
small glass tubes filed with germs
taken from the pages of library books
examined. The bacilli represented 100
different poisons and disease. He said
that all of the so books examined by
him during the investigation were
found to be more or less affected.
He said that there was no doubt that
disease was spread by the books and
advised that system of sterilizing
the volumes by the dry process be
adopted Immediately in the interest
of public health.
President Franks said that so far as
he had been able 10 learn no case of
disease resulted from persons reading
library books. He did not deny that
the books might contain germs, but
he said that the danger of contagion
was infinitesimal and scarcely worth
the money it would cost to establish
system to sterilize the volumes.
Several other members of the board
expressed the same opinion.

DESTROY A HISTORIC PUMP.
Mtscreants Commit objectionable e
Vandalism at Harvard
College.

An objectionable act of vandalism
was discovered by Harvard men the
other morning. In the night some
malicious person had destroyed that
time-honored and venerable institu-
ton, the college pump.
The first attempt to destroy it was
made last spring, when a dynamite
cartridge was found in an unexplod-
ed state with burning fuse by the
yard policeman at midnight. The last
attempt was made with similar in
strument placed in the side of the
pump under the handle. 1t was sue.
cessful in exploding and rendering
the old wooden structure useless.
The old pump has been in place
since 1882 and the well had given
up its drink of pure water to the long
line of distinguished graduates for
two generations.
