DOING Great Work.

FIorisant, Mo-, Dec. 19th.-(SpeciaD
That Dodd's Kidney Pills are doing
a great work in curing the more ter
rible forms of Kidney Disease, such as
Bright's Disease, Dropsy and Diabetes,
everybody knows. But it must also
be noted that they are doing a still
greater work in wiping out thousands
of cases of the earlier stages OF Kid
ney Disease. Take for instance, Mrs.
Peter Barteau of this place. She
says
Il have been subject to pains in my
back and knees for about three years,
but since I have been taking Dodd's
Kidney Pills / have been entirely
cured"
Others here tell similar stories. In
fact, in this part of Missouri there are
scores of people who have cured the
early symptoms of Kidney Disease
with Dodds Kidney Pills. The use of
the Great American Kidney Remedy
thus saved not only the lives of Kid
ney Disease victims, but thousands OF
other Americans from years of suffer.

SEEKING A LOST ART.
Modern Scientists 5affled in Efforts
to Temper Copper.


Fame and fortune await the lucky
individual who can rediscover the com
bination of metals from which the
Egyptians, the Aztecs and the Incas
OF Peru made their tools and arms.
Though each of these nations reached
a high state of civilization, none of
them ever discovered iron, in spite of
the fact that the soil of all these coun-
tries was largely impregnated with it.
Their substitute, for 1t was combina-
ton of metals which had the temper
of steel. Despite the greatest efforts
the secret of this composition has baf-
fed scientists and has become lost
art, The great explorer Humboldt
tried to discover it from an analysis
of chisel found in an ancient Inca
silver mine, but all that he could
find out was that it appeared to be q
combination of small portion Of tin
with copper. This combination will
not give the hardness of steel, SO 1t
is evident that tin and copper could
not have been its only component
parts. Whatever might have been
the nature of the metallic combina
ton. these ancient races were able
so to prepare pure copper that II
equaled in temper the finest steel pro
duced at the present day by the most
scientifically approved process. Witt
their bronze and copper instruments
| they were able to quarry and shape
the hardest known stones. such al
granite and porphyry, and even cut
emeralds and like substances. A re
discovery of this lost art would revo
lutionize many trades in which stee
at present holds the monopoly. If cop
per could thus be tempered now 1T
advantage over steel would be yer!
great and it would no doubt be pre-
ferred to the latter in numerous indus
tries. 1t is curious fact that though
this lost secret still battles moderl
scientists it must have been discov
cred independently by the three race
which made use of it so long ago.

Reported Meteorle Display.

John M. Skoleld, a clerk in the
steamship office at Bath, Me-, whose
duties required him to rise shortly
after midnight, reports that at 3
O'Clock on a recent morning he was
dazzled by meteoric display in the
northeast in the form of an object
about the size of a barrel. 1t was
straight up and down and illuminated
the entire Sky with brilliant light,
lasting several seconds. The same
flash was reported by the officers and
men on various craft along the coast.
