A Destructive Year.

While the year 1902 was a year of
peace among the nations, always eX-
cepting South America. it bids fair to
go down in the annals of the race as
one that witnessed a greater destruc-
ton of human life than has been
wrought by some long and wasting
wars. To the subterranean and mystic
rious forces of Mother Earth most of
these calamities have been due. 1t is
estimated that we have to charge her
unusual restlessness with $4,000 lives
lost through volcanic eruptions and
earthquakes. Her tornadoes hurled 400
human beings out of existence, and cy-
clones added 240 more to the list, while
other storms in great numbers. but of
less dignity in name, placed 720 to the
direct account of violent winds. Floods
swept 345 persons from life, tidal
waves drowned 40, and waterspouts
destroyed 10. To all of this we must
add 2S3 lives charged to the destruc-
tive force of avalanches and snow
slides, and we have a total of SLOTS,
an astounding mortality from these
agencies of destruction in q year. >Af

Younr Eacles.

An eagle lives from eighty to 160
years. The young birds are driven
forth by their savage parents to pro-
vide for themselves as soon as they are
able to fly. No training is given them
by the old bird. That is left to their
wild instincts, which hunger and ne
cessity develop. There is no going
back to the old home" for the young ca
giles. The mother bird tears up every
vestige of the nest. and if they emit
plaintiff shrieks the old birds dart at
them and push them off the crags or
rocks and thereby make them take to
their wings. 1t takes three years for
a young eagle to gain its complete
plumage and strength.-Independe

Collecting Auto. His Hobby.

F. T. f. Lovejoy. the young Pitts
burg millionaire, whose interest in au-
tomobiling was the outgrowth of the
purchase of over twenty expensive au-
tomobiles within four years, is con
structing in Pittsburg the finest auto
mobile stable in the country at an ex-
pense of $4,000.
This stable will be $50 feet by 10 feet
and two stories in height. The build
ing will be fitted with large storage
rooms, a billiard room, swimming bath
and a gymnasium for the young sons
of the millionaire. A tunnel will lead
from the stable to the 100000 resi-
dence now being constructed. An cleo
trio plant in the stable will generate
the power for lighting the stable and
house.
Mr.. Lovejoy is thirty-fve years Of
age. modest and quiet in his manner
and in appearance hardly the man Of
$25,0o0,0O0, which is the estimate of
his wealth.

Making Bogus nIeteorite,.

Genuine meteorites are curiosities
highly priced by museums and scien-
tific collectors. Professor st. Meunier
of the Natural History museum of Ber-
lin paid as much as 50 per gram for n
meteorite. 1t is therefore conceivable
that sharp practices should be resorted
to by dealers in scientific curiosiies.
A band of meteorite counterfeiters was
recently captured and considerable evil
dence obtained of very curious and in
geniOus methods of deceiving the guilt
BILE collector. The members of this
band were Corsicans. 1t was their
practice to obtain natural rock resem-
bling meteorites as closely as possible
and then to burn them in order to pro-
duce the black crust which is one of
the earmarks of every genuine meteor
ite. The pieces of rock were coated
with lampblack dissolved in molten
sulphur. 1t seems, however, that this
method was so crude that the deception
was easily discovered, and the men
were forthwith arrested.

Teasing horse is something that
should not be tolerated. \ horse can
not understand joke like a man, and
the teasing will make him vicious.

DimcuIty With the serums.

That the diphtheria antitoxin serum
is a specific for that dread disease is a
fact which has for some time rested
upon a broad basis of satisfactory ex-
perience. As much unfortunately at
this time cannot be said for any one of
the other serums. The serums for cry
sipelas, lockjaw, pneumonia and puer-
peral fever have by no means risen to
the expectations of the physician, and

rhrowing Awny a Fortune.

A poor Austrian official in the civil
service bought two tickets in the Hun
garian philanthropic state lottery. A
little while afterward his funds ran
very low, and he sent back one of the
tickets to the lottery Office and asked
that the money lie had paid for 1t
might be returned. This very ticket
won the first prize at the drawing,
amounting to 10000 kronen, sum
which would have made the official
rich beyond his utmost dreams if he
had not at the last moment let his own
good fortune slip out of his hand.

No Drugs IN Liquozone.

Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen; not drug
OF any kind in it. 1t is the discovery of PAUL.,
the great German chemist who spent 20 years on
it. The process of making requires IA days.
Liquozone creates in the blood such a. excess of
oxygen that no germ live in any membrane
tissue.
LiQuozone liquid oxygen = solves the great
problem of killing germs in the body without
killing the tissues, too. No drug will do that, and
medicine can never reach the cause of a germ
trouble. But Liquozone clears the whole body
OF germs|nside and outside; and it kills them
with oxygen-a tonic-the very essence of life to
you. The reason is that germs are vegetables,
and Liquozone, while harmless and helpful to
Rn animal matter, destroys vegetables
In every country a company is being formed
to furnish this wonderful product to physicians,
to hospitals and direct to the sick. This
pany owns the rights to the United States and
to have the sick Liquozone at once, offer
the first bottle free to any unwilling to buy
1t. We will gladly send you order your
druggist for it-wherever you are-and instruct
him to charge it to US.

does. Learn at our expense, and you will never
