Utllizes the Bathtub.

The peculiar advantage of the
vapor bath apparatus which is illus
trated herewith lies in the fact that
it is intended for use in connection
with the bath tub, thus occupying
less space ard being easier to man
ipulate than the special vapor bath
cabinets. The device consists of a
curtain arranged after the manner Of
a window shade. with wire frame
to attach it to the end of the tub.
The loose end of the curtain has a
central slit extending down far
enough to permit the insertion of the
head and is fitted with clamps to
secure it to the end Of the tub oppo-
site the spring roller.
The bather sits in woven basket
suspended inside the tub and the
vapor is produced from the burning
Of medicated oils or by vaporizing
water if plain steam bath is to be

fiounce may be as much befrilled and

If the petticoat is to be made Of
remnants several different kinds oi
silk may be used. The flounce may
be different from the yoke, and the
rufles on it may be entirely differ

Spring Dress Fabrics.

Hairy and rough fabrics are among
the early spring dress goods thai
have already been placed upon the
counters. These will later be made
into walking and travelling suits.
Scotch goods Of all kinds will also
be much worn. Bourette effects are
to be seen in different weaves. and
these will, later on. be transformed
into street dresses. Mohairs are
likely to be in great demand for the
late spring weeks. and they are now
offered to the feminine world in great
variety.

Tho Value Of Peat.

1t has been demonstrated that
freshly dug peat may contain as mucl
as 80 per cent of water, and that air
dried turf may still have Is to 80
per cent of water, while giving as
much as one-half to two-thirds of the
heating power of an equal weight OF
superior coal A report on car
bonized peat fuel estimates roughly
that ten tons of raw material, freshly
dug, yield the caloritic value of at
least one ton of fairly good coal.
These figures give a basis for in
terasting specuIations, AID one con
clusion is that the peat of Ireland
could give an annual output of 100,-
900 horsepower in electric energy for
250 years.

: New Anaesthetlc.

The London Lancet announces
that there has lately been discovered
by Hungarian chemists, a valuable
local anasthetic, the alkaloid nervo-
cidine. Its hydrochloride has proper
ties like those of cocaine and it pro
duces a more lasting effect. The base
is obtained from an Indian plant

since time employed in dentistry. The
alkaloidal hydrochloride is a yellow.
amorphous, microscopic POWDER cas-
lily soluble in water. A solution of
one-tenth or two-tenths per cent, pro-
duces marked and persistent anesthe-
sia of the cornea. A one-tenth per
cent solution brushed on the mucous
membrane of the cheek has a like
effect. Solutions exceeding fve-tenths
per cent produce liberation of the
cornea and per cent solution
causes ulcerative keratitis in dogs
and rabbits which lasts ten days,
during which the anasthesia also lasts.
Subcutaneous injec,.ons apparently
do not produce anasthesia. The gen
eral effect is that Of a paralyzing
poison. Experts are of opinion that
its chief use will be in dentistry.

his glass suspended in fixed place

BIG FIRES CLOSE CALL
Warren Mercantile Co.'S. Estab-
lishment Narrowly Escapes
Destruction.

About two o'clock Sunday morn
ing the ringing of the fire bell and
the hideous sound of the fire wistle
awakened the citizens of Warren
from their peaceful slumbers. The
night watchman, Axel Anderson,
had discovered fire in the big ware
house of the Warren Mercantile Co.,
in the rear OF the store, and gave
the alarm. The quick response of
the fire department, which in a few
minutes had hose attached to the
hydrant in front of the store and a
stream of water playing on the fire,
is the only thing that saved the
property. Large quantities of oils
and other combustible material, in
Guiding dynamite, were contained
in the building, which had they
ignited would have made a fire
that certainly would have spread to
the store building, and perhaps to
other buildings near by. How mar
rowly big fire was averted may be
known from the fact that an open
barrel containing linseed oil stand
ing near the place where the fire
started had it's outside charred by
the flames. Had the fire been al
lowed to burn few seconds longer,
i might have been beyond control.
How the fire originated is a
mystery. but it is believed to have
been by spontaneous combustion in
some burIap soaked in linseed Oil
lying close to the barrel. The sheet
iron roof on the ware house helped
to conine the flames, which found
no egress except through a crack
by the door. The damage done was
not great, being confined mostly to
some filed egg cases and stoves,
and is covered by insurance.
