0vERRUN WlTHLAZY WOMEN
That, According to Woman Speaker,
II the Condition of Great
Britain.

There are million more women
than men in Great Britain, and over a
quarter of a million more men than
women in Canada, New Zealand and
Australia. As the natural destiny Of the
average man or woman is matrimony,
the inference is obvious, says recent
London report.
At the Royal Colonial institute lately
Mrs. Archibald R. Colquhoun sought to
discover why the superfluous women do
not go out and find their husbands wait
ing for them abroad.
The average English woman prefers,
she said, a hundred years of shabby
genteeldom in England to a cycle of
Canada. Mrs. ColQuhoun drew an un-
flattering picture of the middle-class
girl.
, "The girl" she said, will take great
interest in domestic economy classes
and come home with copious notes, but
she will hardly dust a room or help to
make bed. She is willingtto attend St.
John ambulance lectures, but is bored
to death if asked to go and nurse sick
relative" Then with the death Of the
head of the family comes poverty, and
the superf1uous woman is generally
proved to be the incapable woman.

Sedewick, Ark, July 1.-THE case Of W.

most wonderful on record. In this conneo-
ton bis father makes the following state
ment:
Last September, my little boy had
Dropsy; his feet and limbs were swollen
to such an extent that he could not walk
nor put his shoes on. The treatment that
the doctors were giving him seemed to do
him no good and two or three people said
his days were short, even the doctors, two
of the best in the country told me he would
not get better. I stopped their medicine
and at. once sent for Dodd's Kidney Pills.
gave him three Pills a day, one morning,
noon and night fol. eight days; at the end
Of theseighth day the swelling was all gone,
but to give the medicine justice, gave him
in all and he was entirely cured. I consider

the thirty-fve Pills were given him, he
could run, dance and sing, wherea. before
he was an invalid in his mothers arms

OIL EXTRACTED FROM CORN
A New Industry Which May Lond
Additional Value to Vests
Standard Crop.

Oil, said to be superior to linseed oil
for mixing paints, is now extracted from
corn. Heretofore crude oil has been
obtained by pressure, but the latest
method is to extract it by what is known
as the solvent process, as employed at
q new corn-oil mill at Decatur, ILL.,, the
only one Of Its kind in the country. The
process is simple in theory. but some.
what complicated in application. The
solvent used is light oil subject to evap-
Grafton. The oil-bearing portions Of
the corn are stepped in the solvent,
which takes up the corn oil. The solvent
is then drawn from the bottom of the
tank, in which this part of the process
takes place. The two oils are separated
by distillation. The corn oil is passed
through filter presses to remove parti-
cles of starch or other foreign matter,
and is then ready for market. The
solvent is condensed and carried back
to the storage tank, to be used again.
The corn from which the oil has been
extracted is steamed, and is then ready
for the market as a feed. The process
of separating this-oil from the corn is
similar to that of separating sugar from
beets, the difference being in the
solvent used. The stock feed is not en-
tirely devoid of oil. Enough is left to
make it one per cent. oil, which it is
claimed is sufficient ratio of oil in a
well-balanced feed. This feed is not in
the form of cake, as it comes from
the linseed oil mills, but is in the shape
of a dry meal, partly cooked and part
ly digested.

depth, because the quantity, and hence
the weight, of water above, which is
the cause of the pressure, is proper
tlonal to the depth.
This may be shown by pressing a
wet card against one end of lamp
chimney and plunging that end into
water. The water does not enter the
chimney because the pressure forces
the card against the glass and makes
a tight joint. The card may be
weighted, and still it will be support
ed by the upward pressure.
The simplest way to weight it 10 to
pour water on top of it.
II you do so, pouring gently. you
will find that the card will remain
pressed against the glass until the wa
ter inside the chimney stands at the
level of the water outside.

TELLS coLoRS By TOUCH.
Partisan Woman Performs a Feat
Which Is Puzzling the Scientists
Of the French Capital.

At q recent meeting Of the Biological
society in Paris woman of % years
demonstrated to the scientists present
that she was possessed Of q remark
ably developed sense of touch by
means of which she could tell different
colors blindfolded. The subject Of the
experiments was healthy individual,
without any of the nervous symptoms
that so often go with remarkable gifts
Of this character. During the expert
ments her eyes were closed by = black
cloth, and q physician kept his fin-
ger on her pulse to detect If there
were any variations from the normal.
The first tests were made with pa
pers on which different colors had
been painted. Red, blue and yellow
we're easily recognized; green was de-
scribed as blue, and orange as red.
White spaces on the paper were easily
recognized. Red, blue and yellow
were also recognized when painted
pieces of paper were inclosed in glass
tubes, so that the fingers did not
come into immediate contact with
them. AS final test the subject read
words painted on paper in colors, trac-
ing the outlines of the letters with
her fingers.
The young woman does not begin
the experiment directly she is blind
folded; she waits a few minutes until
gaseous film forms before her eyes,
as she expresses it, then she knows
she can feel the colors. Then as she
ruos the ends of her fingers lightly
over the object, the color passes be-
fore her eyes, and stays there as long
as she maintains contact. During the
experiments the breathing and the cir
culEtion of the young woman re-
manned perfectly normal; the only
changes noticed were slight muscular
contractions in the forearm, and, at
the end of the seance, heat and moist
ure in the hands.

Five Thousand Languages.

Mr.. J.. Collier. writing on the subject,
says that over 5000 distinct languages
are spoken by mankind. The number of
separate dialects is enormous. There
are more than 60 vocabularies in Brazil,
and in Mexico the Nahua language has
broken up into 700 dialects. There are
hundreds in Bogneo. In Australia there
is no classifying the complexities. and
generally the number of dialects Is in
inverse proportion to the intellectual
culture of the population. Assume that
only so dialects on an average belong to
every language, and we have the colos-
sal total of 25O, 900 linguistic varieties.

AN INSTRUCTIVE ILLUSION.
Hero II q Chemical Trick Which II
Amusing as Well as denu-
inely Scientific.

II there is in your family any per-
son who smokes. you can turn this
habit to good account by asking the
smoker to help you perform q trick
which will afford not only amusement
but some scientific instruction.
The smoker is to undertake to blow
smoke into a goblet which you have
covered tightly with plate or sau-
Ger.
It seems quite impossible. doesn't
it? You put the plate on the goblet
and at the same instant the smoker,
standing several feet away, sends a
vigorous pun in the direction Of the
glass, and 10! the glass is filled with
a cloud Of white smoke, or what looks
like smoke. But it isn't smoke at all:
it is a cloud of fine particles of a
substance known as sal ammoniac or
muriate of ammonia or ammonia
chloride, which you have probably
taken mixed with licorice as q rem
edy for coughs and colds.
Sal ammoniac is compound OF am
monia and muriatic or hydrochloric
acid.
Now, how did the white powder get
into the covered glass? It was formed
there because before you put the plate
on you put few drops of muriatic
acid in the glass and moistened the
bottom of the plate with a little am
monia.,
Now, ammonia Is really q gas. The

plate, is a solution Of ammonia gas in
water. Hydrochloric acid is also q
gas really, and the liquid acid which
you put in the glass is solution Of it.
These two gases evaporate from their
solutions, come together, and combine
to form the cloud Of solid white par
ticles of sal ammoniac which looks
so much like smoke.
That the sal ammoniac is solid may
be proved by letting the glass stand
undisturbed until the white powder
has settled down on the bottom. Here
you have a solid made by the union
Of two gases, and to obtain tie gases

Waste Culm Utilized a. Fuel.
One Of the best known methods Of
economizing in the use Of coal in parts
of Europe is to briQuet the pulverized
portions of the fuel, which could not
otherwise be easily transported and
burned. For years past, Germany and
England have engaged very largely in
the use and manufacture of coal bril-
DUETS. The dust and waste of coal
mines have always bsen enormous.
and for years past much of this ma
terial has been allowed to accumulate
at the mouths of the pits. It was not
more than decade ago that thou
sands of tones OF culn, went to waste
near The coal mines. We have learned
to use this waste to-day, and year by
year we find new material to utilize
in the same way. The priquetting Of
bituminous coal robs it of all its un-
pleasant smoke and SCOT, and makes Il
as easy of transportation as anthracite.
In Germany the coal br1qrets are rem.
dered almost smokeless ard odorless,
even when made of soft Silcs1an coal.

THE HOUSE.

Washington. Feb. 2s-rhe first week in March finds the House with very small proportion of the big supply measures a. waiting its action. The naval was the eighth of the general appropriation bills that have been disposed of at this essIon. The remaining supply bills will be given precedence over the other measures. as it is the desire of the leaders to clear up all the regular business of the House as early as possible.
 The District of Columbia appropriatie, ., bill will be taken up and then will follow the Indian appropriation bill. The time allotted for general debate on these bills will give ample opportunity for political discussions. With these bills out of the way the post office appropriation bill will be placed before the House, the consider ation of which will consume some tine. In the meantime the appropriation com mittee will perfect the sundry civil bill now in an advanced State of preparedness, in order that 1t may be taken up at the earliest practicable moment.
