labeled as a pig skin" and placed in
the vat and soaked for several days,
when it was taken out and scraped
and afterward put through the chrome
process Of tanning. The job turned
out well, and the skin came out thin
and pliable.
During the process of tanning it
was handled by but few hands, yet
one or two of the workmen discovered
the real nature of the skin. The fore
man was very reticent regarding the
matter, as he did not wish to have any
trouble with his company or the work
men.
The tanned skin has much the ap-
pearance of dog skin, and the fore
man said it would take an expert to
tell the difference Close inspection,
however, reveals the pores and lines
peculiar to the human epidermis.

What About Your school Houses.

You may not this season be able to
build new one, or make the radical
changes in the old one that you had

district in the United States that can
not afford to tint with Alabastine the
interior Of their buildings, thus max
ing them more attractive, getting col
ors made with special reference to
their effects on the eyes of the pupils,
getting a sanitary and rock base &C.
ment coating that will not harbor dis

The closely crowded school rooms

TANNING HUMAN SKIN.

Denver Times.-The Fred Reuping
Leather company of Fond Du Lac,
Wis, has just completed the tanning
of a human skin. The discovery was
made today through one of the en-
ployes of the company. The skin is
in two pieces-one about IL by 20
inches in size, taken from the back,
and one II inches square taken from
the breast
The skin was brought to this city
about three weeks ago by student of
a Chicago medical college. The presi-
dent of the tanning company refused
to have anything to do with it, but
when one of the foremen was ap-
preached he agreed to run it through,
as he was curious to know how it
would come out. The foreman had
tanned almost every other kind of
skin, including frog, toad, lizard, rat
and cat.
The hide was received in a badly

John A. Smith of Milwaukee can sym
pathize with rheumatic sufferers, because
he was himself tortured by this disease
for years. He made a thorough study
of his own case and of the causes Of the
disease, following this with the expert
mental use of remedies suggested by the
knowledge thus gained. Ultimately he
found a combination Of herbs which COM
pletely rid his system of every trace of
rheumatism, and, though years have
elapsed, he is still perfectly free from
any symptom of the old ailment. Neigh
bors and friends to whom Mr.. Smith
gave the remedy were cured with equal
thoroughness and permanence and "Glo-
ria Tonic" as Mr.. Smith named the dis
covery, began to be in demand. Since
that time many thousands have by its
use been relieved of the terrible Attic
ton of rheumatism. Mr.. Smith has 49,
900 sample packages of this remedy
which he desires to distribute, free Of
charge, among rheumatic sufferers. He
therefore authorizes the announcement

FATAL TEMPERATURES.
Discoveries of Scientists Regarding
Points Where Life Is Arrested.

Discoveries of Scientists Regarding
Points Where Life Is Arrested.
At what, point does life begin? So
far as regards space or time the ques-
ton is unanswerable. Only few
years ago it would have been said
that in regard to that seemingly es-
sential condition of life temperature
we did know pretty nearly a superior
and inferior limit. Little of life is
there below the freezing or above the
boiling point of water, and far above
Or below these critical points we
should expect. even germ life to be de-
stroyed. When our greatest physicist
in 1871 suggested that seeds of plants
might have been borne to this world
in far distant age the hypothesis
seemed incredible, because the tenn
perature Of space, being at least as
low as minus 40 degrees centigrade,
would be fatal to life in any form.
This is not so. Recently at the Jen-
ner institute bacteria have been fro
zen in liquid air and even in liquid
hydrogen, and on the application of
heat and placed in proper media have
terminated. The processes of life
were arrested, but the nascent life
energy was not destroyed at 200 de
grees centrigrade, say $50 degrees
Fahrenheit Of frost. Experiments are
now being made to find whether long
continuance for months or years in
such cold takes away the vitalism of
these lowest forms of /life-London

nagerie. He is a fussy looking little
animal, all covered over with long
bushy hair which can never be
smoothed out. There are a number
CT white rats in the collection. For
the time being the interest in the pet
rodents is so absorbing that Red Cloud

fine specimen of the game cock, whose
home is in the areaway just OUTSIDE
of the rat room, and under the white
