Intoxicants affect men in different
ways. When a Frenchman has i'm.
Oibed too much, it enlivens his legs
and he wants to dance; a German to
sing, Spaniard TO gamble, and Eng
lishman to eat, an Italian to chatter
and boast, an Irishman to fight, and
an American to make speech.
German analysts have examined
the various patent medicines sold in
Germany and ascertained that fully
eighty per cent of them are withou,
medicinal value, while twenty per
cent OF them are injurious to health
The so-called tonics are nearly al
hurtful, because of the alcohol they
contain.

on scientific expedition, either to reach
the north pole or to find out whether
the passage along the north Coast OF
Siberia is practicable. As scientific

also gone in for science, it is studying

The explanation of the explosion Of
1000 pounds Of powder upon the Mis-

was evident that 1000 ounds could not

400 pounds. The charge in the gun
exploded from, some accident, filling the
turret with flame and vapor. In the
handling room were four more charges
1900 pounds. These were ignited by
the flame from the turret.
