The Question Answered.

Estill Springs, Tenn, Aug. "a
Many questions are being asked of Mr..
G. D. Holt Of this place in regard to
his wonderful recovery. For oyer>two
years he has been down with his back.
He was SO very bad that he could not
even lace his shoes, and from this con-
dition he suddenly appeared we'll and
strong as ever.
1t is no wonder therefore that his
friends are asking him How did you
do 1t?"
He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney
Pills did it." and adds: "This remedy is
a genuine good medicine and one that
I can heartily recommend to every
body.
Everyone around here knows how
very bad l was. l was so weak in my
back that I couldn't do anything that
needed STOPPING or bending over, and
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills
made me as you see, as we'll as ever 1

It's work is so perfect that it cannot
be initiated by hand. The lathe en-
graves the network on softened steel,
and the figure in the middle is then en-
graved by hand. 1t is now hardened
and transferred to a roller like the 9TH
erS
1.-THE plates from which notes are to
be printed are Of softened steel and
large enough to print four notes at
once. -Four engravings of the note
must, therefore, be made on 1t, and
this is done by rolling the hardened
steel rollers containing the raised
pictures over it in their appropri-
ate places until the pictures are
pressed into it's surface. The fine
lettering around the borders of the
note is transferred in the same way,
but the other lettering is put on by
hand. This process saves a good deal
of time and it secures absolute uni
formity in the four engravings on the
plate. The back parts of the note are
printed first, and when the ink is dry
the green back is printed, to be fol-
lowed by the red stamps and numbers.
1t is then signed and issued. aFor great
er security one part of the note is en-
graved and printed at one place and
another part at another place. when
it is sent to Washington to be finished
and signed. But, needless to say, after
all this care and all these safeguards,
many skillfully executed counterfeits
have been made and issued, some of
them so good as to deceive expert
judges of money"

NERVES CURED ON THE SEA.

Work That Helps the Sufferer on
Board the Small Cruiser.
For nervous people or people who
suffer from nervous dyspepsia OF ex-
haustion there Is no other kind OF life
which compares with that aboard the
small cruiser, where the sufferer must
do some Of the work about deck. But
there must be real work, not just lend
ing a hand on q line here and there.
Many things are to be borne in mind
by the amateur sailor when he de-
cides to live for q time aboard a YES
sci as "owner and master" First Of
all, he must be philosophical He must
not take d birdlike life too seriously.
Accidents and maritime dangers, such
as storms and collisions, must be look
ed out for, but not made into night
mare to worry him. He must carry
away gear and perhaps stick or two
now and then without getting on his
nerves. There is little danger in bad
weather if he uses ordinary judgment
in shortening sail and he must remem-
Der that only lunatics or worse carry
much sail in heavy squalls. His craft,
will be quite uncapsizable under the
conditions she was designed to under
go. If he wishes to have craft that
will carry all sail in a black squall or
a topsail in a gale he should get
ashore and join the rocking chair fleet.
There he may indulge in problems Of
metacentric height to his hearts con-
tent without danger to himself or
companions.
Neither should he be too particular in
regard to his personal habits. He
should board the craft with the spirit
he had when he went on his first pic
mic and be ready to live in plain style.
This warning will be appreciated after
an expensive steward brings him in
his first meal or two.
Canned goods need not be served
aboard yachts cruising in the waters
along the coast. He is poor steward
who cannot furnish fresh beef, chops
and steaks, to say nothing Of all kinds
Of fish, at a moderate expense. Then.
wife rice, macaroni, hominy and some
Of the numerous prepared foods, he
will have a necessary variety without
opening his tins. They should be re-
served for necessity when the market
has failed. With proper slowing q
vast amount of good food may be
taken aboard and kept out Of sight,
yet always easy Of access.-Boston

How Plants Remain Upright.

II flower pot is laid on its side the
stalk Of the plant growing in 1t gradi
ually curves upward until 1t resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
Is by what means the plant is stimu-
lated to change it's direction of growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the
lower side as the position is changed,
and by their pressure influence the
mechanism of growth. Recently
Francis Darwin, in England, has sue
ceeded in accelerating the tendency of
a plant to curve upward when placed
horizontally by subjecting it to the
vibrations Of a tuning fork. He thinks
the shock Of the vibrations affects the
movements Of the starch grains.

HOW BANK NOTES ARE MADE.
Details of the Intricate Process

"Details of the Intricate Process
Guard to Prevent Counterfeiting.
First IN consideration in making a
bank note is to prevent others from
making q counterfeit of it, says the
New York Herald. Theref ore, all the
notes of a certain denomination or
value must lie exact duplicates Of one
another. If they were engraved by
hand this would not be the case. Hand
engraving is more easily counterfeited
than the work done by the process &C.

fetal of one of the leading bank note
companies, sis printed from a steel
plate, in the preparation of which
many persons take part. If you will
look at a S. greenback you will see q
picture in the center, small portrait,
called a vignette, on the left, and in
each of tie upper corners a network of
fine lines with dark ground, one con-
tanning the letter and the other the
figure s. To make vignette it is first
necessary to make large drawing on
paper with great care, and guerro-
type is then given to the engrs> 40
uses a steel point to make on it n ut
lines of the picture. The plate is Inked
and a print is taken of it.
"While the ink is still damp the
print is laid down on q steel plate,
which has been softened by heating it
redhot and letting it cool slowly. 1t is
then put in q press and an exact copy
OF the outlines is thus made on the
steel plate. This the engraver finishes
with his graver, little tool with a
three-cornered point, which cuts a
clean line, leaving no rough edge. Now,
this plate is used to print from. 1t
must be made very hard, and this is
done by heating and cooling quickly.
A little roller of softened steel is then
rolled over it by a powerful machine
until its surface has been forced into
all the lines cut into the plate. The
outlines of the vignette are thus trans
ferred to the roller in raised lines, and
after the roller is hardened it is used
to roll over plates of softened steel,
and thus makes in them sunken lines

graved and transferred to roller, like
the vignette, but th- network IN the
upper corners and also on the back
of the note is made by a lathe. This
machine costs $1,000 price that puts
1t beyond the reach Of counterfeiters.

The really unhappy man, whose un-

is his unhappiness, for when he is not

The man with the chip on his shout
der is easily recognized and his society
by wise people is carefully avoided.
He can go nowhere without trouble

IN THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH.
Scientist Suggests establishments of
Subterranean Observatories.

Scientist Suggests Establish ment of
Subterranean Observatories.
A proposal to install several hundred
subterranean observatOries at depths
of anywhere from a few hundred yards
to mile or so may appear sufficiently
startling. 1t ceases to be so, however,
when we learn that the observers
themselves are to be on the earth's sur
face; it is only their instruments that
it is proposed to place so far under
ground, and these may be lowered into
borings such as are now made for ar
tesian wells. The principal measure
ments would be Of temperature; but it
is claimed by M. A. Laisant, who adj
vocates the plan, that it's results would
add greatly to our knowledge of the
earths crust and it's phenomena, both
normal and abnormal. NJ Laisant sets
forth his plan in La Raison, as follows:
"While astronomical instruments in
volve considerable expense on account
Of their high precision, the apparatus
in use for meteorological observations
cost much less, and this would also
be true for those that would be en-
ployed in subterranean observation. 1t
would be sufficient to sink at certain
number of properly chosen points holes
in the same manner as artesian wells,
or, still better, III the way that is
used in America to bore for petroleum.
The depth would be more or less con-
siderable, according to the region and
the nature of the geological strata; 1t
should be governed by data known to
great as possible. 1t would probably
not be chimerical to think of reaching
depth Of several kilometers in some
places, while in others a few hundred
meters might suffice.
"As to the locations of the borings
and their number, here, too, the geol-
ogists can furnish the necessary in
dications. Deep Dorings while in course
Of making will give interesting geo.
logical information, since they will fur
nish continuously specimens of the
strata traversed, which may be studied
and Analysed When the boring has
once been finished it will be easy to in
troduce into it measuring apparatus,
and especially thermometers. The
study of the pressure at these great
depths, that Of the composition Of the
gases that are encountered, the cleo
trio and magnetic state Of the me-
| dunn and other elements will possess
equally great interest. With the regis
tering apparatus now at our disposal
most of the indications mentioned will
| be easy to obtain when the installa-
| ton has once been made without the
necessity of displacing the instru-
| nents
when large part OF the surface Of
the globe has thus been covered with
subterranean observatories properly To-
Gated, the systematic Capitalization of
tie observations and daily exchanges
Of them will soon furnish an important
, contribution to terrestrial physics, and
we shall see that there is a necessary
correlation between the variations of
temperature, pressure, etc., at the diff
ferent spots and also between these va
riations and certain exterior phenOm-
ena."
