ACCORDING TO cABBY.
The Trips of a Woman Rhilanthropfst
Must BE Arranged with
the Deity.

A Brooklyn woman whose philanthropic
efforts are mainly directed toward making
life happier and better for the little folks
of the crowded sections of the borough tells
good story on herself, says the Eagle, OF
that city. As her field of endeavor is
not confined to one section of that Dor
ough, she generally travels around from
settlement to mission or recreation ground
in a cab One day she was on her way to
gathering of her proteges when she espied
q masculine acquaintance who had, on a pre-
vious occasion, manifested some interest IN
her work, and invited him to accompany
her. He accepted, and they travelled down
lanes and through byways heretofore un,
known to him. In one of the narrowest and
most crowded streets in a downtown quar-
ter the fair philanthropist stopped to pay
visit When she entered the cab again the
man said:
You have an arrangement with the Deity
as well as the cabman when you come on
one of these expeditions, haven't you?
What do you mean!" was the astonished
reply.
We'll your cab driver says that only the
Lord knows where you good ladies are gong
when you start on trips of this sort.

u. s. SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Recommends Pe-ru-na
For Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble.
Catarrh of the Stomach IS Generally
Called Dyspepsia. Something to
Produce Artificial Digestion
is Generally Taken.
Hence, Pepsin. Pancreatin and Host
Of Other Digestive Remedies
Has Been Invented.
These Remedies Do Not Reach the Seat
Of the Difficulty, Which IS
Really Catarrh.

Tx. u. S. Senator M. c. Butler from
Il South Carolina, was Senator from
that state for two terms. In re-
cent letter to The Peruna Medicine Co.,
from Washington, d. c., says:
"Ican recommend Peruna for dys-
pepsia and stomach trouble. have
been using your medicine for short
period and i feel very much relieved.
1t Is indeed wonderful medicine be.
sides a good tonic. "---M. G. Butler.
The only rational way to cure dyspep-
STA is to remove the catarrh. Peruna
cures catarrh. Peruna does not produce
artificial digestion. Itcures catarrh and
leaves the stomach to perform digestion
in a natural way. This is vastly better
and safer than resorting to artificial
methods.
Peruna has cured more cases OF dys-
pepsia than all other remedies COM
bined, simply because it cures catarrh
wherever located. Ifcatarrh is located
in the head, Peruna cures it. If catarrh
has fastened itself in the throat or
bronchial tubes, Peruna cures it. When
catarrh becomes settled in the stomach,
Peruna cures it, as well in this location
as in any other.
Peruna is not simply remedy for
dyspepsia. Peruna is a catarrh remedy.
Peruna cures dyspepsia because it is
generally dependent upon catarrh.

ASTRONOMY OF ATOMS.
1t Il Revealed by Hadium and Con.
cIusiveIy Demonstrates Many
Strange Things.

The new theory of matter now being
developed by Prof. Lodge and others
may be called the astronomy of atoms.
According to a scientific contributor to
the Chicago American, it shows that
what has always heretofore been re-
garded as the smallest division of mat
ter known to nature-the atom = is
really composed of multitude OF inf
nitely smaller things named electrons,
which revolve about one another within
the confines of the atom in paths re-
sembling the orbits of the earth and the
other planets composing the solar sys-
tenn, and that instead of being packed
closely the revolving electrons in an
atom have proportionately as much
free space about them as exists between
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and the other
members of the solar system.
Thus, the body of man, composed OF
innumerable atoms, may be likened to
the universe, in that it is made up of
vast number of systems almost infinite
ly small in comparison with its own di-
mansions. Moreover, the manner in
which the electrons constituting an atom
revolve about one another resembles
the manner in which the planets, COM
cts. asteroids and meteoR of the solar
system travel in their concentric, and,
in some cases, interlacing orbits, and
the principles of celestial mechanics,
perfected by Newton, Laplace and 9TH
err mathematicians to account for the
motions of the heavenly bodies, avail
to explain also the movements of the
infinitesimal electrons of which atoms
consist.
But these electrons, while they consti-
tute the atoms of which all material
substances are made up, are not them
selves conceived as being form of mat
ter. Experiment indicates that they
are purely electric in their nature. Yet
when combined in the shape of atoms,
they furnish the basis of what we know
as matter
While only radium and few cognate
substances continually give off parti-
Giles in sufficient abundance to reveal the
fact to us, yet the theory under
consideration assumes that all at
oms of all substances whatever
are slowly tending to dissipate them
selves in this manner, and that in
the course of infinite time the whole
universe will thus be changed in its
atomic constitution over and over again
through the alternate dissertation Of
atoms and their reformation in new
combinations.
Already it has proved possible to CAL
culate the number of electrons contained
in various kinds of atoms-for instance,
700 in an atom of hydrogen, 5000 in an
atom of sodium, and more than 100, 900
in an atom of mercury.
Thus, the number of electric worlds,
if we may so speak of them, contained
in the miniature solar system represent
ed by an atom of mercury, is far great
er than that of all the hnown planets,
asteroids and comets in the solar sys-
tenn in which we live

PLAGUE OF MOSQUITOES.
Science Has Put the Pestiferous In
sects on the Plane of Public
Enemies of Late Years.

Mosquitoes have put stop to the
government survey of the Louisiana
oyster reefs in the Gulf of Mexico The
officer in charge of the survey reports
that no man can possibly stand the
mosquito plague of that region, the in
sects swarming in great clouds ten
miles from the coast.
This is not the first time mosquitoes
have caused the abandonment of i'm
portant work Stanley was turned aside
by them in central Africa, and Kane and
Peary found them swarming on the ice
foes of the Arctic ocean. Armies in
ambush have been betrayed to an enemy
through tortures inflicted by mosqui-
toes, and pickets on whose quiet watch
fulness the safety of an army depended
have been more demoralized by mos
quito bites than by an enemy's bullets.
Centuries ago mosquito plaques
turned population and commerce away
from certain cities. The old explorers in
South America were more often turned
from their line of march by mosquitoes
than by warlike natives. Neither men
nor horses trained to battle against the
battalions of war could stand against
the legions of mosquitoes.
Civilization then made war on the
savage natives and ran away from the
mosquitoes. Now civilization is MAX
ing war on the mosquitoes, the investi-
cations of the last few years having
put the pestifercus insects on the plane
of public enemies.
Possibly the fact that mosquitoes are
the active agents of malaria and are
known to carry the germs of contagion
may account for the disinclination of
a surveying party on the gulf to fight
against them. Within the last two years
efforts have been made to protect cities
against pestilence by wholesale de-
struction of mosquitoes. Men not only
have been more careful in protecting
themselves against mosquito bites, but
have utilized every possible means Of
destroying the pest.
A mosquito 20 years ago was
simply mosquito. Now the mosquito
of certain species is recognized as the
bearer of disease. Therefore, many
men who fought mosquitoes years ago,
as matter of principle, do not care to
make Eight against them now.-Chi-

Temperature Limit of Life.

An effort to determine from geysers
the upper temperature limit of life has
led Prof. w. A. Setchell to conclude
that 40 animals exist in strictly ther-
NAL waters, or those heated above 43 or
As degrees c. (109 or 113 degrees Fahren-
heit). A filamentous plant, one of the
bacteria, was found at 80 degrees c.,
and few other simple forms were found
at II degrees and below. How the
protoplasm of these organisms is made
to resist the ceagulation that usually
destroys life at little above 40 degrees
c. is not clear.

Musicians of Brfny Deem.

Many fish can produce musical sounds.
The red gurnard has earned the name of
seacock from the Growing noise which
it makes, while another species is called
the piper. Others. notably two species
of ophidium, have sound-producing ap-
paratus, consisting of small, movable
bones, which can be made to produce a
sharp rattle. The curious drumming
made by the Mediterranean fish known
as the malgre can be heard from a
depth of 80 fathoms.
