During the Civil Was almost 100000 men
were killed or died from wounds received In
battle. This is an appalling deatA record,
but does not equal thnt caused BY indiges.
ton, dyspepsia, constipation, and liver and
kidney diseases. Since the introduc ction OF
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, 1fty years ago,
the number hes been considerably reduced
because Il Is q suro cure for these diseases,
and Is the best health makor known to
science. A trial will certainly convince you.
Detectives are not always thin, although
some of them waste away to mcrc
shadow.

Professor Tyndall used to explain to

Professor Tyndall used to explain to
popular audiences. with the aid OF
brilliant experiment, that the blue
color Of the sky is owing to floating
particles Of invisible dust. that break
I'D and scatter the short wares. which
are the blue waves Of light. This. as
a recent writer in knowledge shows,
occurs principally at q great eleva-
tion, where the atmospheric dust is
extremely fine, while in the lower re-
gions of the air. where the dust is
coarser, the scattering affects all
the rays or colors alike. The bril-
liant fringes of clouds. seen nearly in
the direction of the sun, are largely
due to dust, which especially accumu-
lates in the neighborhood of clouds.
and refracts the sunlight around their
edges

NJ. Thoulet has shown by expert
ments that in fresh water fragments
of pumice of the size of a grain OF
wheat sink at the end of two or three
days, while fragments of the size OF
a walnut require two or three months
before they become waterlogged.
These experiments he has lately re-
peated with salt water of density
of 1.O244 at 81 degrees cen;igrade, and
his results indicate that if the frag-
ments of pumice found on the ocean
bed were of subaerial formation they
must have flcatcd ''or incredibly long
periods, and he attributes the great
majority of such fragments 10 sub
marine volcanoes and concludes t1at
the pumicc has never floated at the
surface at all.

The transptanting Of big trees on
the worlds fair site at ST. Louis is an
interesting work A deep trench is
cut around the tree four or five feet
from it's base. and the earth dug away
beneath. Then a huge truck Is backed
up to the tree and securely fastened:
The entire tree, 40 Or so feet high, is
then tipped over on the truck and an
other pair of wheels attached in front.
Then with sufficient teams to pull the
heavy load the tree is drawn to the
place where wanted and restored to
an upright position. Much care is re-
quirei in the work. and the trees will
receive constant attention until again
we'll rooted.

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

A Ham ourg chemist is reported to
have discovered a fluid which, when
added to water, produces liquid that
cannot be distinguished from petrol
cum, and that can be used for heating
as we'll as lighting.

The smallest vertebrates hitherto
known have been several species of
little fishes in the southern states, the
shortest being somewhat less than an
inch in length. A new species OF goby,
to be known as Mistichthys luzonensls,
is reported from Lake Buhl, in south
ern Luzon, and is even smaller, its
average length being only about half
an inch. A surprising fact is chat
this tiny species is food fish of some
importance Great numbers are cought
in the lake, and with peppers or other
spiced herbs they are priced by the
natives.

Heat exercises a powerful influence
OF rocks deeply buried below the
earth's surface, chiefly by means OF
heated water and steam. In this way
rocks have been very much altered or
"metamorphosed. The crystalline
schists have thus been brought to
their present state by a series OF
chemical changes due to heat, and
there is no doubt that they were once
ordinary deposits of clay, sand etc,
