WHEN disease attacks the ner-
w vous system, the symptoms that
at once manifest themselves
differ in different persons. When the
intricate and wonderful nervous sys-
TEN is in perfect condition, no man or
woman is sick, except from infectious
disease.
Sleeplessness, dyspepsia, rheumatism,
most OF the weaknesses and ailments
that exhibit themselves in different
ways in men and women are now
known to be only the local symptoms
of the beginning of diseased nervous
system.
1t is no more possible to cure these
Affections by superficial treatment than
it is to dam the Mississippi by a bar
of sand. The only effective cure for
these diseases is the repair of nervous
tissues
1t has been absolutely proven that
Paine's Celery Compound cures ner-
vous exhaustion in every aggravating
form, as no other remedy in the world
can, or does. In fact, it was by the
urgent advice of the ablest medical
authorities in this country that this

They SAW The SMOKE.
But They Declined to Act Upon the
Warming.

Once Vesuvius destroyed two italian
cities in a few hours. The people saw the
smoke from the volcano but failed to
escape in time.
Where there is smoke there is fire and
where there are symptoms of one of the
most dangerous of diseases. A feeling Of
languor, a sense of weakness and WEAKNESS,
drowsiness, giddiness and mental drscom-
fort. A bad taste in the mouth-the old
coppery" taste. An offensive breath,
headache, neuralgia, heartburn, a feeling
of dizziness and weight in the stomach,
nausea, dry and feverish skin, constipation,
rising of nasty gas into the throat, tongue
furred like the moss on q tree, irritability,
disgust with food.
Have you any of these symptoms?
Either now or sometimes? Yes" you say,
" but L don't think they are dangerous"
They are signs of danger. They show that
the eruption is coming.
Now what lies at the bottom of all these
symptoms? Indigestion, dyspepsia, and an
overworked liver. There is but one help,
one remedy. Slow up, and for the mis-
chief already done, tone up the digestive
organs and liver with the new medicine,

leaps from one ball to another, run along
the wire and are thence radiated off into
space. just how large a role this sus-
pended wire plays in the sending is not
yet very clear. Maybe some day it will
not be needed. The sending instrument
might be- located in the cellar, for these
electric waves,secm to go through brick
and stone, and almost everything, save
the metals.
1t is clear enough that If the sending
operator can open and close his circuit as
he likes, he can make the series of sparks
long'or short as he likes. SO you have a
long or short series of waves flying
through space at the speed of light.
While Signor Marconi waited in New
foundland with the telephone at his ear,
this is what his operator in Cornwall was
doing. In Newfoundland was an ar
rangement of little different sort.
Here were batteries. and a circuit, Just
the same. But instead of the transform
er and the polished brass ball, little
glass tube makes part of the circuit.
Into this runs the two ends of the wires
3
the two are some nickel.siVer filings.
Ordinarily, these will not let the current
from the battery pass. The path is
locked
But if this little tube, about as big as
quill toothpick be attached at the same
time to the receiving wire, which runs
out through the window and up the mast.
curious effect is observed. When the
waves strike the high wire, and are alb
sorbed, they come running down in a
way to make the nickel filings stand up
in hurry. The little particles seem to
cohere, and in such a way as to let the
other current from the batteries on the
floor flow through. Why, nobody
knows. Give the tube a little tap, and
they fall apart again. 1t is the oldest
sort of a performance, and was quite I'M
heard of until Professor Branly's dis.
covery, ten years ago.
When Professor Lodge heard Of the
Brandy experiments, he fixed up little
automatic Taper. 1t worked on the
same principle as an electric dOOr-bel
! q wonder how many'people ever stopped
to think how even that simple everyday
affair operates). The effect of this tap
ping arrangement was to give the slen
der tube of filings a smart Jog every
time the electric waves made then
cohere. 1t was decoherer.
The rest was simple. If the bat
terry on the floor could be made Il
operate the Taper, it could also Sc

Ordinarily, the waves are stron
enough and their effect clear enough
so that no telephone attachment
needed. The clicks can be read OF

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
FACTS AND OPINIONS GATHERED
FROM CONTEMPORARY
THE HEROIC Beers

THE HEROIC BOER9
The world has witnessed few more
monstrous national crimes than England's
onslaught upon the Transvaal republic
of South Africa, whose independence
she had acknowledged and whose affairs
she would never have interfered with II
its gold and diamond mines had not ex-
cited the greed of her adventures and
specializing statesmen, and history re-
cords no more heroic defence than the
people of that little country have made
against their attempt to subjugate and
exterminate them.
According to the best estimates there
were in the Transvaal four years ago
about 100000 people, but of these only
10000 we're whites and of the whites
more than half we're Uitlanders or for
eigners, mostly Englishmen who had
been attracted to the country by the
mines. Adjoining this was the Orange
Free State, with population of 207,-
600, of whom 1900 were whites.
Taken together the two little republics
contained but little more than 80, 900
Beers, and there has never been time
when they could muster G0,000 fighting
men.
In other resources needed in war they
were even weaker than in numbers, and
when Dom Paul, the serious and pious
president of the Transvaai, told the Brit
ish that if they ever sublugated his people
it would at cost that would "stagger
humanity" they laughed in his face and
dispatched an army composed largely of
picnickers and differed by "flanneled
fool sat the wckets' to annihilate the
presumptuous and insolent farmers.
That was long ago. Since then Gng-
land has laid waste the South African
country with fire and sword, without
mercy and with slight regard to the rules
of civilized war. The houses have been
burned and the crops destroyed. The
women and children have been driven in
to camps and left to die of hunger and
disease. The patriot armies have been
broken up and shattered until only small
bands remain to fall upon and slaughter
the British forces and defy British author
ity. The direct cost to the empire up to
the first of the year is stated by the war
office as follows;

The expense in money is given as 100
million pounds, or 800 million dollars,
and the estimate is that 300 million more,
making a total of a billion one hundred
million dollars, will be required before
the war can be expected to end. This is
by far more than any other war has cost
Great Britain during the present century,
if not during her entire history. For
every Boer that has carried musket in
the struggle for independence one and
third Britons have been killed or sent
home an invalid; for every dollar of the
annual revenue of the Transvaal before
the war nearly thirty dollars has been
and must be taken from the British tax
payers to meet the money cost of the
struggle.
British purposes will be accomplished
The Beers will be eXterminated and their
farms and mines and shops Will be taken
and converted to the uses of the in
vaders. Two republics will be wiped
from the map. But we repeat that in
all history there is no record of such 8
