Eclipse Yields New Theory.

ANIBRIDGE, MASS, October 1S.-Pro-
fessor w. II. Pickering, Of Harvard OBJ
servatory, ascertained beyond a doubt
Thursday night that the bright spot
around the crater Lime, on the surface
of the moon, grows considerably larger
when deprived Of the heat of the sun.
For many years it has been noticed that
the Lime area has been gradually chang
ing. and many theories regarding the
causes have been advanced. The concen-
suS Of opinion has been that the light is
either the light Of boar frost or reflected
light from some rocky substance. Pro,
lessor Pickering has inclined to the form
er belief.
His observations Thursday night bear
him out, showing by the most accurate
kind OF nicrometric measurements that
the spot grew rapidly when the earth in
terposed itself between the sun and moon.
What the final determine ton of this i'm
rortant fact will lead to, Professor Pick
erinS will not say, but it is common rumor
in astronomical circles here that he in
tends to prove it by theory all his own
concerning the moon.
That the spot around Lime is hoar
frost and not light reelected from rock is
shown by the fact of its enlargement with
the absence OF heat and light. If the spot
were stone, virtually no light at all would
be reelected when the earth shadow fell
upon the moon.

al problem:
Three men starting from the same point
to walk around an island, and walking in
the same direction. One walks eight. on

They will walk around the island re-
spectively 3-S hours. $40 hours 1911

these fractions is the lowest common uu1-
tiple of the numerator 10. divided by the
greatest common denomination of the de-
nominator !, or IS, which divided by each
fraction gets eight times around, ten
times around. and seventeen times arouna

about ..B1ooa Purifiers" and Fonics

About "BlooI Purifiers" and Tonnes,
Every drop of blood. every bone. nerve
and tissue in the body can be renewed in
but one way, and that is. from wholesome
food properly digested. There is no other
way and the idea that a medicine in itself
can purify the blood Or supply new tissues
and strong nerves is ridiculous and on a
par with the fol-de-rol that dyspepsia or
indigestion is germ disease or that other
fallacy, that weak stomach which re-
fuses to digest food can be made to- do so
by irritating and inflamins the bowels
by pills and cathartics.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indigeS
ton, sour stomach, gas, and bloatlng at
ter meals, because they furnish the diges-
tive principles which weak stOnachs lack,
and unless the efficiency Of pepsin and
diastase is supplied, it is useless to at
tempt to cure stomach trouble by the use
Of .'tonics,' pills ard '.cathartics' which
have absolutely no digestive power. ana
their only effect is to give temporary
stimulation.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 5000
grains of meat. eggs and similar foods,
and experiments have shown that they
will do this in glass bottle at proper
temperature but Of course are much more
effective in the stomach.
There is probably no remedy SO univer-
sally used as Stuart's Tablets, because it
is not only the sick and ailing, but well
people who use them at every meal to
insure perfect digestion and assimilation
of the food.
People who enjoy fair health take
Stuart's Tablets as regularly as they take
their meals. because they want to keep
we'll; prevention is better than cure, and
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both they
prevent indigestion, and they remove it
where it exists. The regular use Of one
or two OF them after meals will demon
strate their merit and efficiency better
than any other argument.
