A SOAP BUBBLE FOUNTAIN
Palace of Liberal Arts Mt the
Worlds Fair.

St. Louis, May IA fountain that
spouts soap bubbles is one of the nov
elites shown in the Palace of Liberal
Arts at the Worlds fair.
The fountain is about 25 feet high
and is surmounted by a statue of a
gut from the top basin, over the sides
and into a larger and lower basin,
which in turn fills and overfioWs, tho
bubbles being carried off at the bot
Eon1. The effect is much more bril-
liant than a water fountain, for each
Of Ghe tiny bubbles reflects all colors
If the rainbow. To add to the bril-
nancy electric lights ART concealed in
the lower parts of the two basins and
these throw beams of light, of all col
ors up through the bubbles, producing
an electric fountain whose effect is
magnificent by every one of the globes
of water. A combination of mirrors is
to be set in the skylight to reflect light
upon the fountain.
The bubbles are produced by spe-
cially built machines which agitate the
soap in clear water and under pres
sure force it up to the top of the foun-
| tain and out into the highest basin.
The bubbles are so mixed that they
have considerable stability, and as
they overflow the basins large chunks
of suds break off and fall like snow to
the receptacle beneath.
The blowing of bubbles through a
clay pipe was what suggested the III
vention.

things that he was financially involved
to the extent of s165,000, and that he
vas going to kill himself because of
his trouble. He threatened three times
to take his life, and l talked to aim
and urged him not to do anything rash.

Il believed the man intended to kill
himself, however, so when we left the
buffet | called the attention of a couple
of deck hands to him. A minute OF

That his financial trouble came
through dealings in cotton.

story about my trouble a few days
ago." said Smell. Il went up against

A woman in society is obliged to keep
late hours. She must attend receptions
and balls. She seldo1r~allows herself a
quiet evening at home. Her whole time
is taken up in keeping engagements or
entertaining in her own home.
Her system becomes completely run
down as a consequence. She soon finds
herself in a condition known as sys-
temic catarrh. This has also been called
catarrhal nervousness.
If every society woman could know
the value of Peruna at such a time, ii
they could realize the invigorating,
strengthening effect that Peruna would
have, how much misery could be
avoided
Letters from society women all over
the United States testify to the fact that
Peruna is the tonic for a run down,
depleted v system.

THE JAPS ARE CAUTIOUS.

Capture Port Arthur.

They Are Not Rushing Things to
Capture Port Arthur.
st. Petersburg, May 19.-From the
official advices received here it is evil
dent that the Japanese are proceed
ing very cautiously toward the invest
ment of Port Arthur. While an inter-
ruption of the telegraph and railroad
may again occur at any time, commune
cation with the fortress is still open.
Advices received by the general staff
show that the invaders who landed at
Fitsewo are marching slowly on Kin
Chou, which is an advanced position
defending the Russian gibraltar, de-
taching only a small force to cut the
line at Polandien, thus giving rise to
the reports that they had effected a
landing at Port Adams. The Rus
slams have occupied Sisthao bay, on
the east side of the Lao Tung PENN
sula, opposite Kin Chou, Showing that
they have no intention of withdrawing
to the south. The indications point to
stubborn resistance.
The presence of Port Arthur of Gen,
Fock, revealed in the official dis
patches, may signify that the garrison
Of the fortress is much stronger than
the Russians desired the enemy te
believe. Gen. Fock commands the
fourth Siberian rifle division of TO-,
900 men. If the whole division is or
the Lao Tang peninsula, Gen. Stoe'
seel has at least 10000 men at his dis
posal, which would render the invest
ment of Port Arthur extremely diff
cult unless the japanese bring up three
times that number Of troops. +,
There is talk Of Japanese cutting OF
the water supply Of Port Arthur, bu'
this is declared to be impossible, al
condensed sea water is the chief sourc'
of the supply, the wells only being uset
by the Chinese.
