Recent experiments, by practical
tests and examination with the aid
of the X-Ray, establish 1t as a fact
that Catarrh of the Stomach is not
a disease in itself, but that II Is a
condition resulting from repeated
attacks of indigestion.
The stomach and alimentary
canal, or digestive tract, is lined or
coated with a mucous membrane.
Studding the surface of this mucous
membrane are the gastric glands.
Here, also, are the terminal branches
of the pneumogastric nerves, and
many branches from the sympa-

HOW TO GET GOOD ROADS.
Enemies Of Mud should Unite in n
Campaign for "a PrincipIe,
Not for Details.

One great reason for the prevalence OF
bad roads throughout the United States
IS lack of agreement and united action
among the advocates of improvement.
Everybody prefers goods roads to bad.
Everybody knows that the roads can be
improved only by the expenditure of
money and labor. But here the agree
ment ends. There is a great variety of
ideas and schemes for securing the de-
sired object. There is no end of discus
sion, but very little is accomplished.
Some people would rather travel
through mud than to have the roads i'm
proved by any other plan than their own
''pet scheme" Thus road reformers
themselves sometimes actually hinder
the cause to which they are devoted.
If the roads of the country are to be
made good within the lifetime of the
present generation, it is high time the
advocates of good roads should unite in
support of a few general propositions,
and 90 to work in favor of a general
plan. If national good roads movement
ever gets started, nothing can stop it. 1t
will sweep everything before it. But the
difficulty is to get it started
One great advantage possessed by the
national aid plan, which is now becom-
ing so popular, is that it is general in
stead of sectional or local. It is as bread
as the whole country. 1t can bring into
harmonious united action the friends of
good roads in every state, ard it is the
only plan yet proposed that can do this.
The friends of national aid will make
O mistake if they undertake to work out
details in advance. They will disagree
among themselves and give objections
every advantage. They should go to
work for the general principle and leave
details to be worked out later. This
was the plan of action adopted by Glad
stone. When his opponents asked for
details of any great reform which he
advocated, Gladstone would answer:
There will be time enough to work out
the details when we get the power" The
advocates of national aid will do well
to emulate the example of this great
English statesman. They should or
ganize everywhere and fight for the prin-
ciple, leaving details to be worked out in
due time.

NEW PLANT DISCOVERED.
blossoms Are Shaped Like Il Tnrnn-
IuIn and Give Out II Deadly
Chloruform Odor.

A wonderful tree of unknown variety
has been discovered in a mountain can
yon in a spur of the San Jacinto noun
tains, down near the Mexican line.
The leaves of the tree resemble, in
size and shape, the fig leaf, but they are
of a vividly purple color, and the I'M
der side of the leaf is thickly covered
with stiff hairs, which stand out from
the leaf fully half an inch. These
hairs are sharp and thorn-like, and cas-
lily penetrate the skin, and when they
do so, they are poisonous, causing swell
ing and much pain.
The blossoms are as peculiar as are
the branches and leaves. They are Of
a rusty red color, and are about two
inches in diameter. In shape they are
a very good representation of the taran-
tula. There is huge hairy bulb, in
shape resembling the abdomen of the
poisonous spider, and there are several
chives or stamen corresponding to the
legs of that insect.
The most peculiarfeatures of the plant,
however, remain to be told. When
ever one approaches the plant or when
the wind agitates the branches of the
tree, the flowers give off an abundance
Of perfume-heavy, sickening and dead
ly. This perfume has the quality of
chlorofOrm, and a few inhalatiOns of
the odor produces Inconsistencies. The
prospectors who made the discovery of
the plant were rendered insensible upon
approaching the tree to examine it.
AS the plant seems to have no botan-
ical name, two names have been sug-
gested by the qualities of the plant it,
self One is the "tarantula plant" the
other, "chloroform tree. "-California

terror of Europe than here. A boy could
manage the motive power, and otherwise
inaccessible slopes of land, highly suit
able for special crops can be well culti
waited. The horse is considerable of a
nuisance anyway on land closely plant
ed with valuable fruit crops, however
necessary he may be for extended agri-
cultural operations, and it is possible to
imagine some such contrivance, utiliz-
ing the power Of a gasoline or other
easily managed engine, as a great con-
venience in the intensive culture Of
choice, closely planted crops, in level
places as well as hillsides. The horse
takes a good deal of room, he is not
careful of valuable plants, and the pack
ing Of the soil by his feet is not always
beneficial. Many truckers and growers
of high-grade fruits would doubtless
welcome a practical device that would
dispense with a horse in the row while
utilizing horsepower tools for cultiya-

SOME LARGE BOTTLES.
Hold Forty-Five Gallons Each, stand
Six Feet High nnd Are sixteen
Inches in " idth.

In attempting to turn out huge bot
tie to send to the St. Louis exposition,
the glass blowers of Alton, H., have
turned out four glass bottles with a
capacity of 10 gallons eacn, which are
believed TO be the largest bottles ever
blown.
AIcnzo Miller made the first big bot
tie. Other glass blowers then stroye
TO outGo him. and attempted to make a
big bottle, without a mold, in order to
give it greater size. Valestine Rcinin-
ger, Jesse Steelman, and John Metz un-
dertook the task, and with only a shaper
to fashion the bottoms, they blew yes
sells capable of holding 45 gallons each.
1t was a task of one hour to make each
bottle.
Forty pounds of molten glass were
drawn from the furnace, and shaped on
the end of a long blowpipe. In order to
accomplish the feat, the glass had to
be reheated many times in the furnace
as il was being blown in a plastic
state to the size and shape desired.
Many unsuccessful attempts to form the
big bottles were made before complete
success was met.
All the air used in blowing the bot
ties made, about II 900 cubic inches in
each, was supplied from the lungs of the
blowers. who were making them, one
man blowing the bottle alone. The
chief difficulty lay in keeping the neck
of the bottle hot and plastic, as it was
cooled quickest by the iron blowpipe.
Many bottles were made, but most of
them were spoiled in the operation, and
were discarded The four perfect ones,
which have been preserved for exhibit
tion. stand nearly six feet high, and are
about 16 inches across at the bottoms
The making of these big bottles is
RECOGNIZED as a masterful feat in the
glass blowing trade. Glass blowers
from ali parts of the country have taken
great interest in the experiment, and
the makers of the bottles have received
many inquiries as to their methods. 1t
is a new line for rivalry, as it was here
tofore considered impossible to make
such big bottles, because of the difficult
ties in the way of the blowers handling
such a large mass of molten glass;

In the Crimea scientists have been
making queer experiments with fruit
trees. Instead Of trying to increase
their growth and yield by>heaping fer
tiIizers around the roots, they have been
cutting tiny holesinto their trunks and
Inserting salts of iron in both solid and
LIQUID form. An account of these Curl
Gus experiments has been read before
the Imperial society recently, and it
was declared by the men who have been
thus feeding the trees that the method
had proved itself to be highly success
fuI. Photographs were shown of 900
trees that had been thus treated, and
the pictures appeared to prove the truth
of the allegations, for all the trees were
