Natural Soap.

German papers report that steps are being taken in Algeria to manufacture natural soap on a lage scale from a tree known as "Sapindus utilis." This plant, which has long been known in Japan, China and India, bears a fruit of about the size of a horse chestnut, smooth and round. The color varies from a yellOwish green to brown. The inner part is of dark color and has an oily kernel. The tree bears fruit in it's sixth year and yields from 55 to 220 pounds of fruit, which can easily be harvested in the fall. By using water of alcohol the sepona ceous ingredient of the fruit is ex- tracted. The cost of production is said to be small and the soap, on account of possessing no alkaline qualities, is superior to the ordi- nary soap of commerce.

Pigeons as Smugglers.

A curious utilization of carrier pigeons was recently attempted ill Belgium. This was making them carry contraband goods into France. For a short time "A pi- geons were let off regularly from the Belgian dovecot, each bur- dened with a small coil of tobacco. They arrived at their French des- tination rather exhausted, and doubtless glad to be relieved of their load. In one case, however, pigeon, in making the flight, proved unequal to the effort, fell into the Seine and was picked up. The system was thus found out and suppressed.

COLONY OF SEA soUiRTs.
Curious Form of Life with Which Fathers and Small Boys Have
 Much Amusement.


 Most of the tanks in the aquari. um have now been refined with rockwOrk, says the New York Sun. Anadvantage of rockwork for this purpose is that it affords places of lodgment for various forms of marine life, both vegetable and animal, which may be introduced into the tank either by accident or by design, to make a further addi- tiOn to the tanks attractiveness.
 Already in some of the tanks here these lesser forms, either planted or of accidental growth, are beginning to appear;a a notable example of the last-named kind being found in the salmon rock fish tanks, in which there may now be seen, attached to the rocky lin ing of the tank, great colony, some thousands in number, of the familiar ascidian commonly known as the sea squirt.
 Everybody that has been much about the water knows the sea squirt, leathery creature some what resembling a rubber water bottle in shape, with two siphon tubes like stubby little slightly curved bottle necks projecting from it's top. The sea squirt takes it's nourishment as the clam does. 1t absorbs minute forms of ani- nal life of various sorts, along with quantities of water, through one of it's siphon tubes, and after extracting the nutriment it expels the water through the other.
 The sea squirt clings to the rocks along shore, and to sea grass, and it is found in many wa ters. It may be of a dingy white or gray in color, like those now at the aquarium, though some sea squirts are of dark rich brown, and there are others of brilliant red. The largest of those here are about an inch and a half in length. Sea squirts attain a length of two or three inches or more.
 Fathers who know about them pick sea squirts from the rocks and play tricks with them by collaps- ing them and so squirting the wa ter on fellow bathers. Boys liv- ing by the water as in fishing towns, carry sea squirts to school with them, in their pockets, and there squeeze the water out of them. To collapse one in that man ner means the end of the sea squirt.
 A sea squirt left out of water by the receding tide might lie col lapsed and flat, but it would be more likely to have taken in wa ter enough to carry it until the tide covered it again, and it would be most likely to be found, be- tween tides, in places where it would get more or less moisture. If one should be left exposed for a longer time than usual on some bare rock, as it might be by an un- usually low tide, it would be burned and shriveled and de- stroyed by the suns hot rays.
 They were probably introduced into this tank with shrimp put l into it as food for the rOckfish.

Voters, But Not Taxpayers.

In the Presidential election OF
1900 Mercer county cast a total
of 1854 votes. The Sheriff
statement of persons in Mercer
county delinquent for the non
payment of taxes for 1908 has just
been printed in the local papers
over there, and aggregates $3.50
names. In other words, over half
the voters of Mercer county pay
no taxes. They control elections,
they dictate the officers, they pile
on the burdens the tax-paying mi
nority has to shoulder, but they
themselves pay nothing. The peo-
pie at the last election adopted
an amendment to the Constitution
which would stop much OF this
outrageous injustice and iniqmty,
but the Republican Legislature re-
fused to carry it into effect,
though acting mighty promptly on
those that authorized the increase
of the salaries of office-holders.
Such are the beauties of Republi-
can rule. How they commend
themselves to the intelligence and
reason of the citizen Monroe

Triumphs of Modern Surgery.

Wonderful things are done for
the human body by surgery. Or
gans are taken out and scraped
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased
sections of veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds,
bruises, burns and like injuries be-
fore inflammation sets in, which
causes them to heal without mat
uration and in one-third the time
required by the old treatment.
Chamberlain's Pain Balm acts on
this same principle. 1t is an an
tiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. It also alleys the pain
and soreness. Keep a bottle OF
Pain Balm jim your home and it
will save you time and money, not
to mention the inconvenience and
offering which such injuries en-
tail. For sale by Hill Brothers.

Hundreds of people were after the
rapist in an hour and the line of

Washington to Cumberland by
armed men. Williams was cap
tured on a freight train at Mar

to be from Brunswick, Md, and
denied any knowledge of the
crime. His description tailed so
closely with that of the hunted
man that the girl came to this city
for the purpose of identifying
him.
While no effort was made to
lynch the brute by the citizens OF
Martinsburg the officers suspected
that a mob from Jefferson county
would be here soon, so Williams
was taken to Hagerstown on an
early train, and from there trans
ferred to the Jail at Piedmont,
