New Use for Petroleum.

Scientific investigation has proven that
petroleum is far superior to coal for fuel, so
that we need not worry should the coal sup
ply give out. In nearly all of Natures prod
ucts we find that as soon as one material be-
comes scarce another is discovered to take
its place. There is one exception, however,
and that is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters It

IOWA TOWNS DAILY MIRAGE.
Singular Illusion That Is Visible in
Cedar Rapids Whenever the
Sun Is Shining.

Every day in the year when the sun
is shining mirage may be seen in
this city, says a correspondent of
the Chicago Inter Ocean. So far as
is known this is the only place in the
world where this phenomenon of ma
ture can be so regularly observed, al
though there are many places where
it takes place under certain atmos-
pheric conditions. The mirage here
is on one of the principal streets of
the city and makes the street appear
as if there was a pond of water COW
ering it. So natural is this appear
ance that many times residents OF
the city who are not posted as to the
mirage have turned from the street
to escape going through the water
that they thought they saw in the
distance.
The best place to view the mirage
from is on First avenue, in front of
Coe college, between Twelfth and
Thirteenth streets. On bright day,
by looking down the avenue four or
five blocks away will be seen this lake
of water covering the roadway Pass
ing street cars are SO plainly reflected
in it that it is difficult to realize that
there is no water there.
Prof. Bates, of Coe college, accounts
for the mirage by the fact that the
avenue is slightly inclined from the
indicated point of view. A person,
therefore, looks down at the mirage
at an angle of about 80 degrees, and
his line of vision crossing the down
coming rays of light obliquely at that
point produces this singular illusion
