LUXURY AND GOOD HEALTH.
one May Enjoy both in These Days
of Sanitary Foods and
Drinks.

There never was time, perhaps, in
the history of the world when there
was such a determined effort to find
and keep good health as at present.
Young and old are beginning to real
ize, apparently, that something must
be done TO preserve bodily vigor.
Foods almost by the hundred are Of
fered as sure promoters of vitality
and attractive advertisements con-
tain more or less learned discussions
upon the value of strong nerves, pure
blood and clear brain, says the
Cleveland Leader.
Those who do not live upon health
foods are deyoting much of their
time to physical culture and nearly
every house in which there are young
people contains its quota of gym
nasium apparatus. Outdoor and in
door sports have more devotees than
ever before. Golf, baseball, football,
tennis, basketball, bowling and other
forms of amusement which induce
perspiration and increase the action
of the heart are depended upon TO
supplement- more physical culture, so
called. in building up strong bodies
and laying the foundation for good
health and long life.

THE WORLD OF SCIENCE.

When completed the Liverpool mu-
scum will, Sir W. b. Forwood says, be
second only to the British museum.
The most delicate scale is made by
fixing one end of a fine thread Of
glass. The atom to be weighed is
placed at the free end and the de-
gree of the bending of the thread
under it is noted. This has to be
done under glass which magnifies
100 times.
Treatment by chemical rays has
not yet made so great progress in
the United States as in some of the
European countries. The thera-
peutic effects of the violet and ultra
violet rays have been shown TO be re-
markable, and in France, perhaps,
this form of treatment has reached
the highest stage Of development at
present attained.
The mapping Of the world win be
mostly an achievement of the twenti-
eth century. The great map of the
United States. begun 20 years ago,
will require about a hundred years
for its completion, and the chief of
the photographic Office reports that
the 1880 chart plates in his posses
sion represent only about one-third
of what are necessary before the
seas Of the world viii be sufficiently
chartered for safe navigation.

MEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

senate, having been q member Of
that august body since March 4, 1879.
He and Senator Jones took their

tended six years more had be con-
sented to serve.
Consul George Sawter went to
Guayaquil, Ecuador, to take the post
left vacant by the death Of Thomas
Mast. Arriving there, he discovered
that yellow fever was raging and
imm mediately took passage back to
the United States On landing IN
New York he found that another of
fee had been seeking him in his abb
sence. While still at sea he had been
nominated by President Roosevelt as
an assistant appraiser of merchan-
disc at the port Of New York
Secretary Cortelyou is one of the
few remaining men in public life
who affect the pompadour style of
brushing the hair. Fifteen or eight
cen years ago it seemed as if all
mankind had the pompadour craze.
When "Pompadour Jim" came on the
stage every sport that was a sport
wore his bristles rampant The style
is very becoming to Cortelyou. 1t
enables him i'm serious reflection to
run his fingers harrowlike over his
head without disturbing its contour.

ng-a-ding-a-ding a dingl Get
up, you lazy loaferl It's seven
o'clock" Those strenuous words,
preceded by the tinkle of brisk lit
tie bell, caused a visitor in West
Philadelphia house to hop out of bed
the other morning with immense sud
denness, says the Philadelphia Rec
ord.
The words were so authoritative
that he had the same feeling of sub
mission he had when a schoolboy and
his father called him. So he jumped
up now without question.
What had awakened him was a
Photographic clock, an ingenious ar
rangement devised by his host, which
was so set that the same spring
which started the alarm started, a
moment later, a photographic at
tachment. The maker of the phono-
graphic clock said he thought of
patenting it.
"You see" he said. "the phono-
graph, speaking to you after the
alarm wakes you, can be made to

INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS.

A few years ago quartz mines that
would not yield $50 TO the ton were
despised and rejected as Improbable.
Now, with improved methods of ex-
tracing, ore containing as low as 50
a ton pays fair dividends to the stock
holders.
The cost of cyanide treatment of
ore in typical southwestern Colorado
plant, where about 1875 tohs are
handled daily, is stated to be 20 cents
ton--35 cents for cyanide, 2O.5 cents
for labor, 3.5 cents for powder and
fuel, and AS for zinc.
The gas used in the modern gas en-
gine performs nearly, or quite, double
the work obtained from it when used
for steam-heating purposes, In time

furnace gases, viii make pig iron pro-
duction more than doubly profitable.

News from the far east continues
rather disquieting, despite the assur-
ance of Russia that she is sincere in
approving the open door policy in
China, and that she has no ulterior
motives in retaining control in Nam
churia for the present. Korea, un-
doubtedly inspired by Japan, has
demanded that Russia vacate her
territory and recross the Yalu river.
This request is said to be couched
in most vigorous language. As
Japan is working day and night
preparing war supplies something
more than a mere harmless disagree
ment among diplomats is expected.
There must be some good in our
present postal system. Notwith-
standing that the entire post Office
department apparently and most of
that branch of the treasury depart
ment which has to do with postal
affairs are investigating each other,
we seem to get our mail pretty regu-
larly and without delay. The Wash
ington Post remarks that Postmaster
General Payne is on the right track
This is fortunate since if he were on
the other track there might be danger
Of a collision.
The latest news supplemented by
photographs from the scene of the
Jewish massacre at Kishenef, Russia,
show the affair to have been more
horrible than was indicated by the
early kilograms. In this massacre
Russia is described as having torn a
leaf from early Roman history, when
a massacre Of Christians was often
suggested to engage the attention OF a
province about to rise in revolt.
