To See Beneath the Waves.

The French naval engineer,
calls attention to the fact
that a captive balloon rising to Il
certain height may be employed to
discover the presence Of rocks be-
meath the surface Of the water.
Every sailor knows that in certain
parts of the seas shadows can be
detected in time by the cOloring of
the water so that they can be
avoided. From certain heights
shadows are shown still more
plainly, as, for instance, from the
hills surrounding the entrance to
Brest. From this it follows that
from a captive balloon at a certain
height above the water, especially
in waters containing many subma-
rine rocks and tortuOus channels,
shadows can be located with the
eye, and better still through pho

for the murder of her husband, has not
been released, but was removed from

A British jury found Mrs Florence
Maybrick guilty Of the murder Of her
husband, James Maybrick, August Z,
1889, by the use Of arsenic. She was
sentenced to be hanged. Petitions
poured in on the British home secre-
tsry from all parts of England and

In all the relations OF 70, public
and private, as husband, neighbor,
citizen and lawyer, Paul Hurd came
up TO the iull measure Of noble man
hood. he was possessed OF that Pc
culiar refinement Of intellect and that
unassumed quietness Of manner that
always endeared him at once TO those
with whom he came In contact, either
socially or In business way. The
smile which lighteoed his face was an
issue OF his heart; his social mein won
affection; bis tongue was free from
the guilt Of detraction; he was kind
In speech even when hs spoke-ot his
adversaries.
"As lawyer he was studious, dis
eliminating. educated, reliable, sue
cessful. He was ambitions of pro-
fessional distinction, but his ambition
was toned and tempered by prudence
and modesty and never marred by
jealousy or passion. He was con-
seryative in temper, thought and ac-
ton. He was cool, safe, careful
counselor, true to bis conviction, and
zsslons and brave in their support.
In the midst OF the pride and
strength OF his manhood, full Of life,
hope, ambition and abundant promise,
as the result Of fatal injuries received
BY the horse falling upon him, Paul
Hnrd departed this life on January
IS, 1904. He left record OF honor
able deeds and life's duty well per-

more real benefit from the
food; that is why cod liver
oil is a powerful builder Of
flesh.
Scott's Emulsion Of pure
cod liver oil solves the prob
lem Of how to take cod liver
oil. That is one reason why
doctors have been prescrib-
ing SCOTS Emulsion for all
wasting diseases, coughs, colds
and bronchitis for almost
thirty years
One of the inducements
offered in order to substitute
something else for SCOTS
Emulsion is the matter of
cost You save a few cents

SCOTS Emulsion costs more
because it does more and does
it better than the substitutes.
