CURED Hall spotted his three men at
Malta and boarded the train at the
same time the outlaws did. One man
boarded the blind baggage. another
climbed onto the rear end ana a third
man walked into the day coach and
took a seat.
As the east and westbOund trains
meet at Malta, the eastbound pulled in
just as the westbound was preparing
10 pull out. Immediately a dozen de-
tectives and special service men armed
with Winchesters jumped of the IN

with Peruna:

John o. Atkinson.
Boa 272. Independence, Mo.
When old age comes on catarrhal dis
cases come also. Systemic catarrh is al
most universal in old people.
This explains why Peruna has become so
indispensable to old people. Peruna is
their safeguard. Peruna is the only rem
edy yet devised that meets these cases ex-
acty.
Such cases cannot be treated locally;
nothing but an effective, systemic remedy
could cure them. This is exactly what Pc
runa is.
If you do not derive prompt and satisfac-
tory results from the use of Peruna, write
at once to DR.. Hartman, giving full state
ment of your case, and he will be pleased
to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Great Britain's Income Tax.

For the year 1901 only Is persons
in all Great Britain paid tax on in
comes exceeding $250,000, and the
grand total of these Is incomes was
$7,500,000. AS the income tax asses
sors make their inquest for large in
comes very searching the fact is es-
tablished that the Is richest Britons
are worth $1S7, 100000. This assumes
that their aggregate wealth yields
them per cent per annum. There are
at least two American citizens-John
D. Rockefeller and Andrew Carnegie
each of whom is worth more than
the richest British subjects combined.
And there are scores of American cit
izens whose incomes exceed the $780,
600 year which is the average in
come Of Britain's first fifteen.

ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION.
The Greatest Distance to Which 1t
May Be Sent at Present.

The statement is made by Alton D.
Adams, on 1.-THE Physical Limits of
Electric Power Transmission" that
electrical energy may be transmitted
around the world if the live voltage is
unlimited. This follows from the law
that given power may be transmitted
to any distance with constant effici-
ency and a fixed weight of conductors,
provided the voltage is increased di-
Nrectly with the distance" Unfortu-
nately, the physical conditions of pres
ent known insulating devices do not
permit OF such Utopian transmission.
Distances of $50 miles are now prac-
tically spanned by power transmission
circuits at from 10000 to 10000 volts.
This, however, represents the limit of
present construction. One of the next
steps will be the employment of an
individual pole line for each wire of a
transmitting circuit, as at voltage ex-
ceeding the present, which may easily
be attained by known methods, the
sparkling between wires located on the
same pole, even though spaced seven
or eight feet apart, would be prohibi-
tive

OUR COTTON THE WORLDS BEST.
Over s2oo,ooo,ooo Worth of Cotton Ex-
ported Annually.

A Berlin Dispatch tells of prcSos-
ed international cotton conference"
to be held in that capital for the pur-
pose of Encouraging cotton produc-
tion in Africa by England,
Germany and France" and other Euro
pean manufacturing nations. The Lon
don Times reports the Lancashire cot
ton manufacturers as eager to find a
now source of supply for their raw ma
terial. British agents have been re-
Gently reported in Egypt studying the
cotton-growing possibilities of that
country. In India cotton is grown,
with success-such as it is. It's staple
is too short for it to become a seri-
GUS competitor with our Southern
products. England's earliest attempt
to find substitute for our cotton was
during the Lancashire famine caused
by our Civil War, when Southern ports
were blockaded. 1t was then that In
dia became an experimental cotton
country. John Bright, ridiculing the
Tory idea of that time that Lancashire
looms could be fed with Surat Qndia)
cotton told of Manchester minister
who prayed the Lord to send cotton for
Its factories and was interrupted by
an earnest voice from the pews: "But
not Surat cotton, o Lord" Indian
cotton still remains an inferior article.
Probably England will continue for in
definite years to come to look to these
United States as she does now, for the
bulk of the over 100000 worth of
raw cotton which she annually buys
from abroad-and the rest of Europe
likewise.

The gardens and fields of Yucatan

The gardens and fields of Yucatan
are filed with succulent vegetables
and odorous herbs unknown to the
outer world. In the cultivated fields
at the proper seasons are grown
classes of Indian corn, beans, squashes
and tubers for which we have no
name, for the reason that we have
never seen or heard of them. The for
ests and jungles contain fruits that,
excellent even in their wild state,
could be made delicious by scientific
care and cultivation. There are half
a score of wild fruits that offer more
promising results than did the bitter
wild almond, the progenitor Of the
peach.
