NEW CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

A new cure has been found for con-
sumption. 1t is called the vegetable
juice cure; it is prepared as follows:
Equal parts by weight of raw vege-
tables are scrubbed with a brush in
fresh water, then mixed and chopped
until the particles are small enough to
go into the receiver of a grinding
machine, where the mass is reduced to
a pulp. The pulp is collected and the
juices squeezed out through coarse
muslin cloth.
''The vegetables first used were pota-
to, onion, beet, turnip, cabbage and
celery. Later were added sweet pota-
to, apple, pineapple, carrot, parsnip, and
later still rhubarb (pieplant), summer
squash, tomato, spinach, radishes,
string beans and green peas with the
pods.'
The juice should be kept on ice and
two ounces given twice a day, after
meals, to each patient.

THE ECLIPSE.

Tuesday evening started in with a
heavy rain and most of the night heavy
clouds covered the sky in this locality,
but just before dawn it cleared up and
by sunrise there wasn't even little
cloud to be seen in the sky. Therefore,
those who arose to view the eclipse, did
so to their hearts content. Many went
up on to high ground on East hill to
get better and earlier view of the sun,
and they were well repaid for their
trouble. The eclipse was certainly a
success in Wausau

A TRIP DOWN THE RHINE.

In letter to the PILoT office, request
ing change of address, Miss Frances
Albers gives a brief but very interest
ing description of her trip, the day
previous, down the Rhine, which we take
the liberty of publishing. Miss Albers
and Miss Winifred Ryan, of this city,
have been travelling in Europe, with a
party of ten young ladies, chaperoned
by Miss Virginia M. McComb,
of Philadelphia. since last June
and have visited in Italy, Switz-
erland, Germany, Holland, Bel
gium, France and England They
leave Liverpool on Sept. 9th, for New
York on the American line steamer,
''Nordland" Miss Albers writes as
follows:
"Winifred Ryan and | are now in
Northern Germany and are greatly en-
joying the country. 1t is very much
like Holland, with large old fashioned
windmllls looming up in the distance
and the lowlands, which are protected
by dykes. Yesterday we took the
famous Rhine trip, leaving Frankfort
a. m. about nine o'clock and arriving
in Mainz at ten. We crossed this city
and boarded river steamer bound for
Cologne. The bridges, which span the
Rhine are long and wide and have
towers On them. Usually there is a
tower at each end and two in the
middle. These towers are quite tall
and slender and look as though they
might be used for light houses.
1--WE passed Bingen, and saw the rat
tower on the small island which is close
to this town. The story is that rich
man bought all the corn and stored it
away in this tower during famine and
would only sell it for such enormous
prices that the poor could not buy.
Then rats came to this tower and eat
all the corn and killed the man. About
two o'clock we passed the Lorelei, a
huge heap of rocks at the top of which
the Lorelei was supposed to sit and
lure sailors to death by her songs.
There are great numbers of old
fortresses and castles, some in good re-
pair, others crumbling away with only
half of tower or a part of the wall
standing and the general effect is 10th
century like, although the towns are
very modern. The Rhine valleyis very
fertile and the vineyards exceedingly
fine.
"We arrived in Cologne about 73O
after very pleasant day and took the
bus for our hotel. Here there was
trouble, for there were nine of us, and
the bus only held eight, so one of the
girls offered to sit by the driver. She
took her place and crowd gathered
at once and stood around in a big half
circle with eyes and mouths open, and
fingers pointing to the girl who was to
ride with the driver. 1t almost seemed
as if the news had spread and that the
people of the whole town had congre-
gated to see circus parade.
There are a number of Americans
here but it is almost the first city in
which we have met them although we
have met English people by the score"

TAKING VARIATIONS.

Clarence G. Craft, of Washington, ID.
c., a civil engineer connected with the
coast and geodetic survey of the U. 5.
government, arrived in Wausau about
ten days ago and spent all of last week
in determining magnetic conditions In
this vicinity. From the topmost point
on the hill, on Aug. Marquardt's farm
on the west side, he sought to deter
mine the declination of the magnetic
needle and its dip, the strength of the
horizontal magnetic currents and the
exact latitude and longitude of this
point. He carries with him some very
delicate apparatus, which is easily in
f1uenced by the presence of any metal
even alta great distance. A buggy, in
passing along road fifteen rods dis
tant, will so affect the apparatus that it
is useless at the time to attempt any
observations.
Iehe government makes a geOdetic
survey every ten years, which is of in
valuable aid to civil engineers in de-
terrnining the variations of the mag
netic needle. The needle of compass
points to the magnetic pole and not the
north pole as many suppose. There is
line passing from this pole through
the United States in southcasterly
direction through Michigan, Ohio and
other states, reaching the Atlantic coast
at point near Wilmington, which is
known as the agonic line or line of no
variation. At all points on this line the
magnetic meridian and true meridian
coincide. West of this line there is east
variation, and east of it west variation.
This line is gradually moving west
ward every year, a popularity that has
not been satisfactorily explained. In
the state of Maine the variation was IS
degrees some years ago, which, of
course, is increasing yearly. In the
state of Washington it used to be % de-
grees and is decreasing each year as
the magnetic line moves westward.
The secular change is determined every
ten years by comparisons with results
ten years previous, and Mr.. Craft has
the figures supplied by the government
surveyors who visited Wausau ten years
ago.
Another peculiar action of the COM
pass needle is what is called the diurnal
change. From a. m. until p. IN. the
north point of the needle gradually
moves westward and then as gradually
returns. This change, sometimes
amounting to II minutes of degree, is
twice as great in summer as in winter.
Another change is the dip of the needle.
The north point has tendency to point
downward and the dip increases the
farther north one goes. A great many
theories have been advanced in expla-
nation of magnetic phenomena, but
they 1nay Go overthrown at almost any
time.
Mr.. Craft has recently been at Pax
ton, H., Grand Rapids and Neillsville
and he will make observations at other
points in Wisconsin and Michigan. A
crew of engineers will visit everv point
of any size on a given line aIa make
deductions for government use. Mr..
Craft has been in the government SER
vice for number of years, and last
winter aided in the survey of the Ha-
waiian islands. He has also spent
much time in Alaska, aiding the gov
ernment in a scientific way in the es-
tablishment of naval station and
military cable.

that he had what sent for, but that
this medicine was so much better he
would rather send it to me in the fix |

MARVELLOUS CURE BY GUT!CURA

"At four months old my baby's face
and body were so covered with sores
and large scales you could not tell
what she looked ike. No child ever
had a worse case. Her face was being

FLOUR MEASURE LAW
NEEDS TO BE AMENDED
Does Not Provide Standard for Small
Packages, in Which Dealers Sell
Short Weight.

Congress will be urged at the coming
session. Is Is said on good authority. to
pass an amendment TO the present
weight and measures law of the Dis
trict to prevent the sale of -four in
short weight packages.
Inspector weIch. who IN eleven grocery
stores found -four being sold in snort
weight packages, reported the sacks to
be from six to eight pounds short in
weight The present law says that
flour when sold in barrels must con-
tain 156 pounds but makes no mention
of its sale in smaller packages.
When the present weights and meas
ures law was passed, -four was sold al
most entirely in barrels and half barrels
But at the present time. almost ali OF
the flour brought into the District is
contained in packages OF smaller sizes.

Business Men Interested.
The test was of special interest to the
business men OF the downtown district
because of the fact that the engine ser
vice there is not sufficient to handle a
big fire. Chief Belt claims that with
the proposed system in operation he
could throw sixty streams on nre
where at present he could not get those
results with 100 fire engines.
The test was attended by Commissioners
