veretabI. Rock Builders.

Tie We etable rock builders are found
In the o0ze which covers the marine
plants drawn up from the bottom Of
the sea. AS shown by the microscope,
they are seen to consist of zigzag links
or boxes, attached at their corners
These vegetable forms, so minute as to
be invisible to the human eye have
the power of secreting the elements
of flint or silica from the water in
which they live. They are very curl
Dusly marked, and there are many va
rieties of them. 1t will be seen that in
their structure the lines of beauty have
not been forgotten. The city of Ber-
lin was built on an immense bed of the
remains of these minute vegetable
forms, and the unstable foundations Of
the houses is due to this fact. They
are so small that one of them is but
the seventy -millionth part of a grain
They increase by subdivision, one be-
Ing capable of increasing to million
by this process in twenty-four hours.
Their method of building is simply by
living and then dying and leaving their
f1inty skeletons to form the solid rock.
They block up rivers, give the green
tfnge to the Arctic ocean, form a white
stone which has been found in masses
800 miles long and 800 feet thick, and
the clouds of dust which are blown
from the desert are made up of them.

GOOD SUMS RAISED.
Money Forwarded to Aid Moundvills
 Sufferers.

Tuscaloosa, Jan. 26.--(Special. )--The stricken community of MoundviIle has the sympathy of the entire country and many of the surrounding cities are doing much to add to tho comfort of the unfortun- ates. Not only are they sending food and clothing, but are also sending large sums of money Tuscaloosa, Birmingha. .r, Montgomery, Bessemer, Greensboro and even those in Moundville who were so for tunate as to escape injury have raised large amounts. The negroes in Tuscaloosa are thoroughly in sympathy with their unfortunate neighbors and are making a thorough canvass of the city today. The negroes on the committee state that ev- cry one who has been called upon to con. tribute has responded most liberally
 The wounded remaining at Moundville are receiving the very best of attention. Dr. s. Miller Perry of Tuscaloosa, has been sent by the city and will remain there as long as necessary. The death list of whites now reaches the number of seven. Syd Davis, who had an iron spike driven through his hip. and A. B. Taylor. whose limbs were crushed, being the latest ones aded to the death list.
 On account of exposure, a number of tho wounded have contracted pneumonia and bronchitis and 1t Is probable that the death list will be increased.
 The hospital corps sent out by the Ala bama Insane Hospital rendered much valuable service and returned to TuscA . loosa fate Saturday evening.

WOMAN, REMOVE THE CAUSE! Why Sufferer from the Health Wrecking Diseases Your Sex
 is Heir ToP

Painful menstruation yields nearly as readily to Feminala as scanty or irregu- lar menstruation. Chronic inflammation of the womb is quite as yielding to It's curative powers as disorders of less dis aster.
 In short-female diseases of long stand ing and serious nature just as surely suc- cumb to the beneficial influences of Fem inala as Arrangements of short duration and lesser importance.
 Feminala acts specifically. It allays in fiammation where there is inflammation. It strengthens the whole of the uterine organs. It tones. builds up, and makes normal the whole afflicted tract.
 To make the point clear--Feminala cures by removing the cause of the dls- ease, rather than by affording relief of a temporary nature by action upon the disorder or disease in itself.
 Feminala, the prescription of an emi- nent physician. is now sold. recommended and guaranteed by your druggist; $1.00 a bottle.
