HAY FEVER IS CURABLE.

This disease is the cause in many cases of
asthma, but since the medical world has dis
covered that it is caused by a germ the cure
has been easily applied.
II is well-known fact that the Koch
"Tuherculine" kills all germ life in the air
Passages especially the bacillus poison. No one
but Prof Koch. Of Germany. has ever discov-
cred a germ-kilcr that can be applied to the
air tubes.
The koch treatment is given In every large
Eastern American city Since the theory has
been put into practical use in all these cities.
the success Of this treatment has been thor
oughly established.
The Koch treatment has many friends and
enemies, like all other good things. Its friend,
are TO he found among those who have invtsti-
gated and tried the treatment. Its enemies are
on'y among those physicians who arc jealous
OF every treatment except their own.
In applying this treatment, the healing, oily
vapors are sent directly into the air passages.
Laden a, they with the Koch "rubercu-
line they reach the very seat OF the disease
and kill the germs. Thousands of testimonials
are on file at the Koch Lunch Cure Offices
furnishing absolute proof Of this statement.
DIR. Edward Koch. the inventor of the Koch
Inhalation Apparatus and this treatment. is
now in America and can be seen at these Offices
In consultation. His associates can be seen

MODERN EGG COLLECTION.
Large Sums Are Expended on the Up
to-Date Display,

The collection of eggs is fad as old
as the hills, and is as popular today as
ever. In fact, of late years the en-
croachments Of science upon daily life
have given new zest to the pursuit,
and raised prices accordingly. At one
time a collection which included the
common birds OF the State or division
of the country was considered among
the first rank. Today SUCH a collection
would be laughed at as a boyish play
thing. The regular collectors desire to
represent every leading member of the
bird kingdom, while several hundred
purchase the eggs of extinct and even
prehistoric birds. The egg of the great
Northern aux. which died out more than
half century ago, is now worth any
where from 81 500 to $4,000. The egg of
the dodo. which lived formerly In NADIA
gascar, is worth several hundred dol
lars. That of the dinoric, giant feath-
cred creature OF New Zealand. is worth
even more.
From these large figures the prices
run down very rapidly. Those oi the
eagle family are as class the most
valuable. The golden eagles egg brings
$40, the bald eagles 81, the great Swiss
eagle IS. the snow eagle IS, the Green
land falcon IS, the Louisiana kite 80,
the Filipino fish eagle $40. and The fish
hawk 81. In fact, It may be SAID that
eagles eggs average 81, falcons eggs
81, hawks eggs. 81. owls eggs s6. and
kites eggs So. The eggs Of the grouse
and partridge family are very pretty
In their markings. and command good
terms. They range all the way from
cents for the egg OF common rrffied
grouse up to that of the Canadian
grouse al IS cents.
There are 100 hummlng birds whose
eggs are In the market. and although
the latter are scarcely ~larger than
beans, they bring exceedingly good
prices, varying from 25 cents UP 10 $40.
The eggs of the duck and goose family
are not very high priced. The cheap
est is worth single cent, while ore
species OF the wild duck costs s.. There
are said to be 10000 collectors III the
United States, and the collections run
from 1000 to $4,000 eggs. II a collec-
tion has less than thousand eggs II Is
hardly worth the name. The smallest
egg is that Of the Central American
humming bird, the size OF pea. and the
largest is that of an ostrich. The cen
ter OF the trade was formerly in New
York. but it is so no longer. The mer-
chants say that the business has been
broken up among fifty cities.-Boston

THE GEOLOGICAL PIANO.
A Musical Instrument of Flints the
Strangest in Existence.

Sermons in stones have become COM
mon enough since geologists learned TO
interpret the secrets OF fossils. To
awake melodies and harmonies In peb-
bles and rocks would seem a much more
difficult, II not impossible, achievement.
1t has been accomplished. bcwever, for
there is in existence a wonderful piano.

flints. arranged in a regular scale. The
tones Of this geological plano are Of
remarkable quality. Mozart dreamed of
an orchestra of stones for the Magic
Flute" II the patience and skill OF the
pianos creator and owner. Mr.. Honore
Baudre, could be carried on to further
lengths, 1t is not impossible that such
an orchestra could be forthcoming.
It wa- work OF years for NJ. Baudre
to make the collection OF fints which
constitute his geological piano. They
are now to be seen at an exhibition
which is being held at Brest. The stones
do not belong to the class of resonant
rocks known as "phonolytes," such as
are found in Auvergne, not far from
Iort Dore. but are intfs collected by
NJ Baudre with infinite toll and search.

By accident while taking country
walk one day he picked up a flint and
CHANGING to strike 1t heard a faint note
respond TO the blow. The idea took hold
Of him to gather, II possible, enough
fints to form a complete chromatic
scale. Difficulties in the search for
such stones only increased his ardor
For more than thirty years he pursued
the quest, making it the principal aim
Of his life to form out OF collection
of lints the instrument lie called the
geological piano.
After many years he had at length got
together the full scale in flint no;.,s. and
numerous examples OF each, with the ,.x-

nature. He gave up hope that he could
meet with 1t in France. He would try
Canada. But the New World showed no
trace OF the initial note of the octave.
and NJ. Baudre returned to his native
land resigned to the notion that the
chase must be abandoned in his old age.
Fortune once again smiled, and the stone
of which he despalred suddenly appeared
as he was walking In Berry.

leisure In playing, as he does with skin.

PAUPER'S GRAVE FOR
PRETTY GRACE PALMER
New Yo-I Gil! Drowned While Bathing
at Palm Beach, Fla.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 26.-Grace
Palmer, formerly of New York. and one
OF the prett.est girls ever seen here, lost
her life at Palm Beach last night while
in bathing. The undertow carried her
out beyond her depth and before aid
could reach her, though her screams
were heard, she was carried into deep
water and sank
Half an hour later her body was re-
covered. The physicians worked hard
to resuscitate her, but in vain.
The girl was but twenty years old. She
came here from New York four years
ago, leaving there her parents, who tried
in vain to rescue the erring one. Grace
lived here and in Atlanta. She came
here this week from the latter city with
four companions, and went down to the
beach with them last night AS she left
the pavilion, in her bathing suit, she
cried out TO the others:
Hurry up. I'm going to be food for
the fishes tonight" and ran shouting
and laughing to the water. She was well
educated and accomplished. and her par
ents in New York move in good society.
She registered as Mrs. a. Marx, of At
lanta. The undertaken wired to the
latter address. but not securing any re-
sponse, the remains were inferred in a
pauper's grave at Pablo.
