Comrades AMI brothers

By curious chance Of empire, the
gates of Pekin were shut when the le-
cations were finally cut off OH two
brothers who belonged to quite differ
ent branches of the British service. and
might have been divided by hundreds
of leagues-Dr. Wordsworth Poole. the
medical officer of the legation, and his
~ ounger brother, an officer in one of
'.Ie companies sent up at the last mo-
ment to guard the legations.
The story of these two brothers reads
like the romance of the Corsican broth
ers. Wherever one is in danger the
other seems to be sent to his help.
The military brother some years ago
was laid up with the fever in small
station OH the West Coast of Africa.
He seemed very near the point of death,
but n messenger was sent to a British
doctor who was rumored to be in the
neighborhood.
The messenger arrived. and the doc
tor came posthaste to the bcdside-of
his own brother-Edinburgh News.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

It is much-mooted question among
entomogolists whether or not mosqui-
toes can breed in mud. DR. Howard's s
experiments and Investigations tend
to show that the larvae will live in
wet mud for some little time and
tl.at they will even transform after
water has been added. In no case
We're larvae revived after the water
had been drawn off for more than 4S
hours.
A petroleum spray is used on the
Missouri Pacific line for lighting the
fires Of locomotives. The reservoir for
the oil is mounted on wheels: Conf
pressed air Is used to spray the oil.
In using the apparatus, the bed Of
coal is first placed on the CRATE, aid
then the jet spray is ignited and
directed ON to the COAL being moved
over the surface until the whole Is
ignited, which usually requires about
Is minutes.
AS is we'll known, some metals are
unsuitable for casting, while others,
ike iron, can readily be cast in any
lesired shape. The property Of cast
ing we'll is said to depend upon wheth-
er the metal contracts or expands on
solidifying from the liquid form. Iron,
like water, expands in solidifying, and
hence the Solid metal may be seeli
floating in the liquid iron about it.
The expansion causes it to fill the die
into which it is poured, and so it can
be cast easily. Gold and silver con-
tract in cooling, and therefore are not
suitable for casting.
a new telephone fire-alarm system
has just been patented. the whole
system being operated by magnetic
currents and dry batteries. After the
system is once installed the only thing
to get out of order is the burning out
occasionally of fuse, which may be
quickly repaired. A separate wire is
used for each fire district, and any
number Of telephones may be con-
nected with any district wire. By
means of this system every house and
factory along the line of the wires
can be connected with the alarm wire,
and thus protection may be had at a
low cost. The wires can also be used
to connect with the long-distance tele-
,,hone for other uses.
The large amount of heat generated
by aluminium in taking up oxygen
from an oxide has attracted attention
to the fact that this property might
be used advantageously, with the re-
suit that it's metallurglcal services
have been used in the welding Of rails
where 1t is desired to obtain an electri-
cal connection. For this purpose a
crucible is used, containing aluminium
and iron ore. The ends OF the rails
are placed in this and when properly
adjusted the charge is ignited. Ac-
cording to the American Machinist,
the heat produced is sufficient to make
an excellent weld, especially as the
expansion of the rails, due to the heat,
causes the ends to press together
forcibly.

UNIFORM PENSION LAW
It Is Needed, the Firemen Say
Petition Will Go to the
legisIature.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)

(From a Staff Correspondent)
Columbus, Dec. 1S.-Representatives
of the firemen's pension fund boards
of number of cities of the state met
here yesterday afternoon and took ac-
ton looking to the creation of uni
form pension law. The legislature will
be asked to enact general law which
will stand the test of constitutionality.
There are number of special laws for
pensioning firemen on the statute books
but there Is some question as to their
validity. For this reason a general
law is desired. F. F. Loomis and c. Il.
Clifford, of Akron, were present at the
meeting.

HALF OUR ILLS
ARE CATARRHAL.
IN NATURE.
Catarrhal Diseases are Most
Prevalent in Winter.
IS THERE NO WAY OF
ESCAPE FROM THEM2
rPe-ru-na Never Fails to Cure
Catarrh Wherever
Located.

There are some things which are as
: sure as fate, and can be relied on 10 occur
TO at least one-half of the human family
unless means are taken to prevent.
First, the climate Of winter is sure to
bring colds.
Second, colds not promptly cured are
sure TO cause catarrh.
Third, catarrh improperly treated Is
sure to make life short and miserable.
Catarrh spares no organ or function of
the body. 1t is capable Of destroying
sight, taste, smell, hearing, digestion,
secretion, assimilation and excretion.
1t pervades every part Of the human
body, head, throat, stomach, bowels,
bronchial tubes, lungs, liver, kidneys,
bladder and other pelvic organs.
That Peruna cures catarrh wherever
located is attested by the following tes-
timoniais sent entirely unsolicited to
DIR. Hartman by grateful men and wo-
men who have been cured by Peruna:
Catarrh of The Head.
Mr.. ID. r. Ramsey writes in recent
letter from Pine Bluff, Ark, the fol-

age, suffered with catarrh of the head
