Mineral Springs, Cary, ILL.,:
Dear Sir-On the 3lst Of January Of
this year visited your spring at Cary,
Ill.,, and personally took samples of wa.
ter from It. From the very favorable
results of my examination and tests,
and from the additional fact that Prof.
Wheeler found neither nitrates nor nj
trltes In the water, am led to the con.
clusion that the water from your spring
is practically free from organic matter
and Is one of great purity.
When visited your spring noticed
with much interest the use Of your pat.
mted device for protecting 1t from sur.
face contamination, and I believe, as
the results of my observation and tests,
that the object Is fully accomplished.
Yours respectfully,
WALTER 8. HAINES.

Although the silk cotton tree is a
native OF South America. there Is one
specimen Of It in Nassau, Bahama
Islands, that has lourished wonder
fully, and is one of the greatest Gu
riosities on the island. It is just now
In bloom and at the height Of its
beauty. It was planted more than two
hundred years ago by John Miller.
The roots seem to be unable to find
their way down after the manner Of
ordinary roots. and so swell up like
great buttresses radiating round the
trunk Of the tree. rising from the
ground to a height OF from six to
twelve feet. They reach out to irregu-
lar distances. gnarled and twisted In
the most curious fashion. They turn
and bend and double a point in all
sorts Of unexpected ways and make
dark hollows and ravines. where the
darkies believe the elves and gnomes
make their home.
The great seed pods are filled with
a fine soft fleece Of silk, which the ma
tives use for filling their pillows and
mattresses. There are several speci-
mems Of the tree on che island of New
Providence but this one is monarch
Of them all.

The fact is not generally known
that there is in the north Of Scotland
a miniature Sahara some twenty
square miles in extent. From Nairn
to the river Findhorn there is a great
expanse Of shifting sandhllls, known
as the Culbin Sands. which show all
the great peculiarities of a great des-
ert, and which successfully resist all
attempts at cultivation. Three cen
turtles ago the place was a smiling
garden with several farms and a viii
lage, all of which were overwhelmed
in a single night by a great storm of
sand. The remains Of the buildings
car still occasionally be seen when the
sand shifts, and many old domestic
articles have been picked up. Some
tragic stories are still current in the
locality of the wonderful escape of the
inhabitants from the binding sand
drift on that terrible night.

What used TO be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 10 has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases Of
female disease.
DR.. Hartman was among the first Of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection Of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found IL so admirably adapted TO their
permanent cure that Peruna has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause Of female
disease.
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

AIonster Fog Horn.

A large fog horn is to be placed in
the Gulf Of st. Lawrence. The horn
is four feet in diameter Il the outer
end and twelve feet long. and the
sound is produced by driving com
pressed air through a double set Of
valves carrying revolving disks with
holes cut in them. One set Of disks
produces a deep roar and the other a
shrin shrek. The valves are con
trolled by clock work, and every
two minutes a roar is emitted, fol-
lowed ten seconds later by a shrek.
To operate the horn there are three
air tanks. each six feet in diameter
and twelve feet long, and tn ee oil
engines run three compressoIs to fill
the tanks. On a favorable day this
horn can be heard a distance of twelve
to fifteen miles. The plant is auto
matte.

The proudest passenger TO walk
down the gangplank of the Deutsch-

days since, was Herbert Cummings, a
young mulatto, who was sent over on
the same steamer by a local florist to
decorate the cabin of Prince Henry on
his Return voyage from this country.
The lad was detailed to attend to the
floral decorations on board Emperor
Williams yacht Hohenzollern while
she was in port. and the prince liked
him so well that he asked that he be

At the end OF the voyage Prince

Chestnut groves. with full-grown
trees, produce six times as much food
per acre as any cereals, and Humboldt
estimates that a banana orchard will
feed twenty-five human beings, where
a potato field of the same size would
support two and a wheat farm only
one. A time may come when the
staples of human food will be chiefly
&. derived from trees. thus increasing

four-wheeled farm wagon painted red

a couple of farm horses. The funeral
was that Of Richard Brettell, solicitor.

that he should be conveyed In this

Very curious is a thimblc case
bought about forty-hve years ago at a
small exhibition held in the Crystal
Palace in New York. It is made from
the nut Of a palm tree which grows in
Peru.
The kernel Of this nut. when unripe,
is soft and it Is then that the nut is
picked, so that its kernel al be easily
cut into small articles. This thimble
case, made from one of these kernels.
Is about the size and shape of an egg.

The kernel has been carved in such

There Is a curious growth Of trees
at Tilden's Point, Me. Three yellow
birch trees are growing on a pine
stump. The tree, which was about
two and a half feet in diameter, is
thought to have been cut down some
fifty years ago, leaving a stump three
and a half feet high. The seeds of the
birch must have lodged on this stump
and as they grew they sent their
roots down its sides to reach the
ground. The three trees are, respec-
