New Theory of Ether.

The ether is the supposed me-
dunn, filling all space and interpen-
etrating all bodies, by which the
waves of light and other forms of
radiant energy are transmitted.
Many theories of the nature of the
ether have been proposed. The lat
est comes from the famous chemist,
Mendeleef, who thinks the ether
may be a chemical element, so light
that the velocity of its molecular
vibrations is sufficient to render it
Independent of gravitation. If its
atomic weight is supposed to be one
millionth of that of hydrogen, it is
believed it could escape the attrac-
ton of the largest bodies in the uni
verse. Mendcleef proposes for it
the name neWtOnlum.

Medicinal Herb Farms.

Medicinal herb farms will become
a necessity in the United States.
spigelia (pink root), serpentaria and
senega (the two varieties of snake
root), which were formerly found in
abundance wild in Maryland and
other Atlantic states, are becoming
scarce. SIENNA, colocynth, gentian
and the poppy have been grown to
some extent, and digitalis purpnrea
(foxglove), atropia belladonna dead
ly nightshade), sanguinaria canaden-
sis (blood root) and cimicifuga race
mosa (black cohosh) have been
grown experimentally. Farmers
near Kalamazoo, Mich, raise an
nually 4O,OOO,OOO pounds of pepper
mint. Valerian is wild product

WANDERING POLES.

In addition to the variation OF
The earth's axis. produced by the
procession of the equinoxes, oc-
cupying a period Of 25,S6S years, il
has been shown by Peters 1S44)
and Nyren Q873) that there is also
a periodical shifting Of the axis OF
rotation relatively to the earth's
surface. This produces a continuous
variation of ATTITUDES, a fact which
had been suspected by Bessel SO
early as 1917.
Professor Albrecht, who has sum-
married. the results of different oh
servers, finds that since 1890 the
earth's pole has described an irregl'-
lar spiral around mean position
from which it does not deviate more
than O.3 degrees (three-tenths of a
second of arc). Mr.. S. c. Chandler
concludes that the variation is COM
posed of two terms, one having
period of fourteen months and the
other of a year.

A CASE OF IT.
MANY Like It In sistersville.

The following case is but one
of many similar occurring daily
in Sistersville. 1t is an easy mat
ter to verify its correctness. Sure
ly you cannot ask for better proof
than such conclusive evidence.
Thomas Fleming, proprietor OF
the Commercial House, on Tenth
street. Moundsville, says: -Four
years ago my back ached so ex-
cruciatingly that if | even took
long full breath | felt it. When
the attacks were in the acute
stateg / could scarcely get around
and even in bed there was not a
single position 1 could assume
which brought rest or comfort.
To stoop or to lift even a pound
caused twinges across the small
of my back; in fine, despite the
fact of doctoring and using unlim-
tied quantities of medicine, all
guaranteed to cure kidney COM
plant I actually think l grew
worse in place of better. Doan's
Kidney Pills came to my notice
and | took them as directed. The
result turned out as predicted, and
the attack ceased. Since then L
have not had a symptom of a re-
turn. After this positive proof of
the merits of Doan's Kidney Pills
all residents of this vicinity suffer-
ing from their back or kidneys

they do not give Doan's Kidney
Pills a fair trial.
