About the only thing that is going
on at the court house today is quiet
little investigation among the county
officers to ind where the leak is that
affords the jointist the information
when they are to be raided. After a
thorough investigation the committee
on plumbing has decided that the leak
is located somewhere else and that if
It is to be stopped that the plugging
must be done outside of the court
house. There seems to be no one but
admits that the jointists receive ad-
vance information but as to who the
culprit is, who furnishes this rather
valuable piece Of news to them has not
been decided.

Seaweed Is Valuable.

At last we seem to have found an ex'
cellent use for seaweed. A correspon-
dent owned summer cottage by the
sea which, like the Biblican mansion,
was built upon sand. Before long the
doors began to sag and the whole
structure to lose its balance on account
Of the shifting Of it's foundation. 1t
was then that necessity, the mother OF
invention, came to the rescue, and the
seaweed that was continually drifting
in with the tide was impressed into
service. This was scattered around the
house. a few loads of soil sprinkled
over it, and in few years what before
was nothing but barren sand hills be-.
came a carpet of vivid green, the envy
Of the neighboring jewellers. Also vege-
tables, flowers and even hedges made
their appearance in time. and the great
transformation was complete. No
doubt many people who are situated In
the same position will welcome this in
novation as a godsend.-Outing.

las long been claimed that Diabetes il in

CT in the Hinton school, has pleasing evi-
had Diabetes. He took Dodd's Kidney
Pills and is cured. In a statement he
makes regarding his cure Mr.. Thompson

Il was troubled with my kidneys for
more than two years, and was treated by
two of the best doctors in this part of the
there was little to be done for me. Then
I started to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and
what they did for me was wonderful. It
is entirely owing to Dodd's Kidney Pills
that I am now enjoying good health"
Many doctors still maintain that Dia-
betes is incurable. But Diabetes is kid
ney disease, and the kidney disease that
Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure has yet

the point B. The shell, when it starts,
makes an angle with the horizontal
plane, and then curves gradually away
downward from the line Of fire. 1t
may easily be understood that the re-
lation between these elements may be
embodied in a mechanical device. and
Deport's apparatus, which has long
been known, enables the aiming to be
done automatically.
"This is in essence telescope whose
mounting is adjusted to the gun itself.
The relative movements Of the diff.
ferent parts are 80 calculated that If
the telescope is pointed at B, the gun
takes the direction Az. After it has
been fired, the gun recoils; it takes
always three to four minutes to aim
it again and fire q second time.
For long time experts have been
studying the adaptation of the brake
to cannon Of large caliber. Thesp
brakes, which are generally hydro
pneumatic, absorb the energy of re-.
coil and prevent great movement; the
gun, fastened to tho piston of the
brake, runs into a receptacle connected
with the carriage.
Finally we must bring our efforts
to bear on the operation of loading. A
shell for gun of 24O millimeters
(about 10 inches) weighs $50 to 200
Kilograms $3.50 to 40 pounds) or
more, and is difficult to handle. In
recent armor-clads, electric elevators
and leaders have been installed, and
these perform all the necessary opera
lions, being veritable marvels of mech
anism.
without going farther, we may say
that at Havre a gun Of "a centimeterR
90 inches) has hcen fred three
times a minute, instead Of once every
three or four minute-a remarkable
result.
THUS we may fl1e in one minute
three shells at vessel in sight, and
this is all that we ought to expect,
for it is incredible that the same gun
should keep on at this rate, sending
Is shells in five minutes. etc. The
use Of great guns is accompanied with
numerous delays, due to the necessity
Of cleaning, cooling, etc.
~Rapfdity of fire has even been de-
layed, in certain marine guns, by an
extremely curious fact. The breech.
block of these pieces is so well made
and 50 closely adjusted that it refuses,
it would appear, to close when en-.
crusted with the residue Of the powder,
so that it must be completely WASHED
out at every discharge. Thus we have.
learned by experience that the ad.
justments at the breeze Of . good rapid.

Her mother had significantly left
them together in the conservatory.
The moment had come to make her
understand how much he loved her.
He had been in q similar situation
once or twice before, under the an
cient regime, but then it was compare
lively easy. Now, under a code OF
etiquette founded chiefly on the latest
fashion in facteria, he fel, his posi-
ton embarrassing. A kiss had long
been considered q criminal proceeding
on purely hygienic grounds. tmpas-
stoned speech was but the setting free
Of millions of microscopic prisoners
DESTROYS of change of lungs. He
must not even press her little hand,
we'll knowing what malignant host
science had placed within Its lew
rounded square inches-not to mention
those that lurked in his own extensive
palm.
Standing at safe hygienic distance,
therefore, he stretched out Ills arms
towards her, longingly, like an amor
Gus tenor at the opera. He did not
sing, OF course. That had long since
been forbidden, as putting more Mi
crobes in circulation than even impas'
stoned speech. He did not speak, feei'
ing that the level, moro or less ster"
flied conversation, which alone SCI
ence still permitted to bc sparingly
used, would be out of place on this oc-
casion. But he gazed upon her SO
ardently that the few thousand bacill1
temporarily resident among her eye"
lashes were seriously Inconvenience
by the rising temperature.
She smiled and shook her head
gently. Everything was done gently
now by persons with the slightest pre-
tense of civilization, in order to avoid
disturbing the circumambient legions
Of the enemy. But while he admired
her discretion he doubted her mean
Ing. Was it ~No?" Or that she did
not understand? Or that he was going
the wrong way to work? Or that she
deemed herself unworthy? He care
fully sat down at his end Of the con-
servatory and thought it out.
Then she frowned-frowned 80 un-
mistakably that he shuddered to think
how many hundred thousand germs,
happy tenants of the arches OF her
brows, would be dislodged by so alarm
ing a dislocation of their dwelling. AS:
however, he still remained motionless,
her behavior became even more fool
hardy and unscientiflc. With a prim-
tive impulsiveness calculated to dis
patch every microbe in the conserva-
tory upon a new predatory errand, she
rushed to the antiseptic fountain that
played among the palms and filled q
watering can from its cool disinfect-
ant. The last thing to be civilized,
he reflected, will be woman, but ne
had barely time to finish the quota

ing can she was tracing in plnklsh
spray upon the tiled floor the three
letters YES.
