SCIENCE SETTINGS.

Arsenic in appreciable amount has
been found by Gabriel Bertrand in all
parts Of the hens egg. This confirms
the new belief that arsenic IS ia all liv-
ing cells and probably serves a special
function.
For many years scientists have
known of the existence Of a faint com
panion to the north star. So close and
faint is this companion that owners Of
small telescopes have often used it "a
test the power Of their eyes and instru-
ments.
Or. William Oswald, professor Of
chemistry in the University Of Leipsic
has made the discovery that light Is
not needed for the printing Of photo
graphs He produces the required
changes in the sensitive paper by the
use OF silver on negatives treated witt
a solution of peroxide of hydrogen.

Woman Traseiine on Special Car
Exhibits Remarkable Generosity.
Citizens Of Muneie Ind, and en-
ployees OF the Big Fonr railroad were
perplexed over the actions of d woman
who passed through AIuncie the other
night in a special ear attached TO the
Big Four train, says an Indianapolis
dispatch. She said she was en- route
from New York, where she lived, to
California to spend the winter. She
gave her name as Miss Williams to
some persons whom She met in the
dining car, but said nothing Of herself
further than this.
Miss Williams is the most lavish
spender Of money thar the employees
Of the road ever came ia contact with.
and she insisted on paying for many
Of the dishes which She ordered for
others at the table, She soon had the
reputation of being a millionaire, and
she sustained it by tipping the train
men, from conductor 70 porter, with
sums ranging from IS to $50.
At Muncie she noticed large num-
Der Of persons standing on the plat
form when the supper gong rang. ana
she gave the porter roll Of notes and
told him to have all the people fed
bountifully al her expense.

M. Curie, one Of the discoveries Of
radium, who was interviewed on the
new minerals power by Cleveland
Moffet, says in MeClure's Magazine for
November:
Il have no doubt that a kilogram Of
radium would be sufficient to destroy
the population Of Paris, granting that
they came within its influence. They
would feel nothing during their ex
posture to the radium nor realize that
they were in danger. And weeks would
pass after their exposure before any
thing would happen. Then gradually
the skin would begin 10 peel Off, and
their bodies would become one great
sore. Then they would become blind
Then they would die from paralysis
and congestion Of the spinal cord"

Lives Of Suffering and
Sorrow AVerted
And Happiness and Prosperity
Assured by
CuticuraSoap, Ointment and Pills
When All Else Fails.

Every child born into the world with
an inherited or early developed ten
dency to distressing, disflguring hui
mours of the skin, scalp and blood, be-
comes an object Of the most tender so
licitude, not only because of its suffer-
ing, but because of the dreadful fear
that the designation is to be lifelong
and mar Its future happiness and pros
perity. Hence it becomes the duty Of
mothers of such afflicted children to ac-
quaint themselves with the best, the
purest and most effective treatment
available, viz, The Cuticura Treatment.
Warm baths with Cuticura Soap to
cleanse the skin and scalp Of crusts and
scales, gentle applications Of Cuticura
Ointment, to allay itching, irritation
and Inflammation, and soOthe and heal,
and mild doses Of Cuticura Resolvent
Pills, to cool the blood in the severer
cases, are all that can BIO desired for the
alienation Of the suffering Of skin tor
tured infants and children, and the COM
fort of WORKOUT parents.
Millions of women use Cuticura Soap,
assisted by Cuticura Ointment, for pre-
serving, purifying and identifying the
skin, for cleansing the scalp OF crusts,
scales and dandrufl, and the stopping
of falling hair, for softening, whitening
and soothing red, rough and sore hands,
for baby rashes, itohings and chafings,
In tho form of washes for annoying
irritatiops and inflammations, and for
many sanative, antiseptic purposes
which readily suggest themselves.
