Purifies the Water.

A recent invention of a California
man is an apparatus for purifying wa
ter, and one which can. also be used
for aging liquids which have already
been bottled. The liquid is subjected
to electrolytic action for removing all
impurities, whether they be in suspen-
sion or solution, and the liquid heated
and any air within the bottle exhaust
ed. In the illustration is shown a cor
tainer, which can be Of glass or SIM
liar material, having an electrode in
the bottom. The electrode is in the
form of a platinum wire, which is
nodded in the bottle. The neck of the
bottle is closed by a removable cork
stopper, an electrode extending
through the center. This electrode is
also made from a piece of platinum
wire, and has it's inner end, which is
within the bottle, coiled, so that it can
be adjusted to any length by stretch
ing or contracting the coil, the wire

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO
SUFFER
From Constipation, Bowel and Stomach
Trouble.
Q. What is the beginning of sickness?

Q. What is the beginning of sickness
A Constipation.
q. What is Constipation?
A Failure of the bowels to carry off the
waste matter which lies in the alimentary
canal where it decays and poisons the en-
| tire system. Eventually the results are
death under the name of some other dis
ease. Note the deaths from typhoid fever
and appendicitis, stomach and bowel
trouble at the present time.
.. What causes Constipation?
A. Neglect to respond to the call OF ma
ture promptly; Lack OF exercise. Excess
sive brain work. Mental emotion and i'm
proper diet.
O. What are the results of neglected
Constipation?
A. Constipation causes more suffering
than any other disease. It causes rheu-
matism, colds, fevers, stomach, bowel,
kidney. lung and heart troubles, etc. 1t is
the one disease that starts all others.
Indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, loss OF
sleep and strength are its symptoms-piles,
appendicitis and tistula, are caused by
Constipation. It's consequences are known
to all physicians, but few sufferers realize
their condition until it is too late. Women
become confirmed invalidS as a result OF
Constipation.
O. Do physicians recognize this?
A. Yes. The first question your doctor
asks you is 'are you constipated?" That
is the secret.
q. Can it be cured?
A. Yes, with proper treatment. The
common error is to resort to physics, such
as pills, salts, mineral water castor oil, in
iections, etc, every one of which is in-
furious They weaken and increase the
malady. You know this by your own ex-
perience.
O. What then should be done to cure ito
A Get bottle of Mulls Grape Tonic at
once. Mull's Grape Tonic will positively
cure Constipation and Stomach Trouble IN
the shortest space Of time. No other
remedy has before been known to cure
Constipation positively and permanently
O. What is Mulps Grape Tonic?
A. 1t is a Compound with 40 per cent. OF
the Juice of Concord Grapes. 1t eXertS a
peculiar strengthening, healing influence
upon the intestines, SO that they can do
their work unaided. The process is gradual,
but sure 1t is not physic, but it cures
Constipation, Dysentery, Stomach and
Bowel Trouble. Having rich, fruity
grape flavor, it is pleasant to take. AS
tonic it is unequalled, insuring the system
against disease. 1t strengthens and builds
up waste tissue
Q. Where can Mull's Grape Tonic be-
had?
A. Your druggist sells it. Tho dollar
bottle contains nearly three times the 3D.
cent size.
Good for ailing children and nursing
mothers.
A free bottle to all who have never used
it because we know it will cure you.

Purifies the Mater.

being flexible but not resilient Sc
cured upon the electrode is a cap,
which engages the lower end of the
cork. The use and advantages of the
invention will be readily understood.
When an electric current from bat
terry, dynamo or other generator is
passed through the two electrodes the
liquid within the bottle will be sub
iected to electrolytic action, which
will remove all impurities. In this way
such liquids as beer, ale, porter, etc.,
which require the removal of all air,
can be preserved. The current can be
readily controlled by rheostat or
bank of lamps, so that the temperature
to which the liquid is heated by the
current can be controlled.

Phenomena of Chemical Reactions.
Is there wireless te1egraphy in
chemical reactions? In one of many
recent experiments tending to give an
affirmative reply, large quantity OF
a chlCrate and sugar mixture was pre-
pared, little of this was placed in
a basin and while the rest of the mix
ture was held behind the operator in
large mortar, strong sulphuric acid
was added to the former, causing it to
ignite in the usual way. Immediately
afterWard the rest of the mixture
blazed up, although 1t was impossible
that sulphuric acid could have touched
it. 1t is thought that violent chem
ical reaction may convert the space in
it's immediate vicinity into a medium
that will accelerate or even induce
chemical activity. II it be true the
Importance of the investigation can
not be overestimated The prepare
tions and violent reactions that go on
from day to day in laboratory may be
altering the molecular arrangement Of
the substances in the neighborhood
of the demonstrative benches. Those
in charge Of chemical laboratories
testify to the unaccountable altera-
tons in certain substances. Again,
does weather influence the communi-
cation between one chemical reaction
and another? The results Of the ex-
periments changed from day to day.

Hucest Sea Creature.

Of all the uncanny creatures in the
animal kingdom the one whose &C
uuaintance is hardest to- make is the
blue whale, the largest of all the
whales, and, indeed, one of the most
colossal animals living or extinct
known to science. You will look in
vain for him in geological collections
in menageries, or even in museums. A
brute 80 feet in length and weighing
just as many tons does not lend itself
to preservation or stutfing, and the few
skeletons of him which do exist give
one no idea Of what he is like. The
blue whale is hunted by the NorWe-
gians chiefly for the sake OF his oil
and is of considerable value, a full
grown specimen being worth from
s1,250 to $1,000.

The Simple Life in a Castle.

For cultured person to relinqulsh

An excellent fireproof paint for a
shingle roof is red iron oxide with
boiled linseed oil for the first coat
finished with second coat of raw oil
This is a dark brown color and the
most durable of all kinds of paint, as
the oil and the iron oxide make a
chemical combination which is alb
sorbed by the wood or unites with a
metal roof. The quantity needed is
based on the fact that one gallon OF
the thin first coat will cover four
hundred square feet, and the second
heavier coat will require a gallon fol-
two hundred and fifty square feet,
If the roof is of shingles it is desira'
BILE to paint these on both sides before
they are laid on the roof. They will
last twice as long as if painted only
on one side after the roof is laid. A
quick way of painting the shingles is
to dip them in the mixed paint.

In making concrete tile there should
be several extra rings for every set Of
molds. The molds can be removed in
six or eight hours Gf concrete is prop
erly tamped in the molds), but the
tile has to remain standing on the
rings for about forty-eight hours. But
if one has the leisure time and car
wait that length of time one set OF
rings will do.
Concrete tile should not be taken
off the rings until the concrete be
comes set hard enough so that it will
not break; forty-eight hours should be
sufficient time for the concrete to set
so that they may be handled. After
the tiles are removed they should be
kept wet for several weeks and out OF
the sun.

The cellar floor should be graded up
a few inches higher at the center than
at the sides. It should be foored with
cement-concrete and channel about

smell the cellar should be ventilated

Pigeons Puzzled by Eclipse.

Carrier pigeons released during the
recent eclipse of the sun in Europe
seemed much puzzled by the darkness.
Some of them started off in a direc-
ton directly opposite from that in
which their cote lay. When, however,
the eclipse had nearly ceased other
pigeons took the right direction at
once The flight of several of the
birds was most eccentric. They first
assembled to a great height and then
descended on the roofs, to mount again
soon afterward, describing huge curves
in space, alternating with extraordi-
nary zigzag and dizzy plunges.

organized by the reelection of the
old officers, as follows:
President-Jno. !. Kleiber.
Treasurer Geo. NJ. Putegnat.
Secretary-Louis Kowalski.
The Board took up the question
of a summer institute in Browns

thorough discussion. The insti-
tute will be held under the super
vision of the principal of the school
here during July, assisted by some
we'll known instructor from else
where who has not yet selected.
Teachers in the city schools will
be required to attend this institute
and will be expected to take exam
nations such as the instructors
may designate. Those who sue
cessfully pass these examinations
will be given positions in the
Brownsville public schools, while
those who fail will be left, so to

permanent, and the Board desires
the cooperation of all teachers in
this and adjoining counties, and
all others who desire to become
