HOT WEATHER DEBILITY.
How to Protect Oneself Against Heat

How to Protect Oneself Against Heat
Fatigue, and Summer Disease.
Many people are so easily affected
by the hot weather as to be capable OF
but little work during the summer
months. Inquiry among this class
will show that in nearly every instance
there is a weak stomach and more or
less indigestion. Put the digestive or
cans right by using Mona stomach
tablets and the summer time will prove
the pleasantest, most desirable and
ENJOYABLE season of the year.
One little Mona tablet before each
meal will give you life, vitality, en-
ergv and physical endurance during
the heated term and ward OFF the ordl-
nary diseases of summer. Mona IS
not an ordinary summer tonic or dl-
gestive. it is a true strengthened OF the
digestive system, building up the or
cans to perfect health and vitality by
curing the indigestion and absolutely
removing all pains and distress In the
stomach, specks before the eyes, SICK
and nervous headache, and other
svmptons that come from a weakened
stomach.
Mona makes positive and lasting
cures and is sold by Dawson Drug
Co. and Peoples Drug Store under an
absolute guarantee that it will cure
all diseases of the stomach, except
cancer. or the money will be refunded.

Though most animals possess a tail.
either in the full or the incipient stage
Of growth, few Of them use it to the
same extent as the kangaroo, the scor-
pion, the horse and the giraffe. What
was its destined use? That it was not
destined for ornament is shown by the
fact that in certain vertebrate it is
proved to be an extension of the verte-
braI column. A satisfactory solution
is to be found, think, in the hypothe-
sis that the tail in animals is nothing
else than the taproot of vegetables,
which has become obsolete or useless
owing to the fact that the living being
has long since adopted another method
of struggling for existence.-Brooklyn

A story illustrating this is told of
Prof Marvin. 1t happened shortly
after the San Francisco quake that
another disturbance was reported in
Lower California. The report was
from the Associated Press and came
at a late hour at night A reporter
on a Washington newspaper called up
Prof. Marvin at his home and asked
if he wouldn't go to the instrument
and see if there was any seismatic
motion recorded to substantiate the
press report. The professor replied
that it would be impossible for him to
visit the place at so late an hour.

the reporter

HOW SEISMOGRAPH RECORDS EARTHQUAKES
Delicate Piece of Machinery in Washington That Shows
When the Earth Trembles Made Perfect Records
of Recent Disastrous Disturbance in Valparaiso

The wonderful machine that re-
corded the Valparaiso earthquake in
Washington, the Omori seismograph,
has attracted widespread attention be-
cause of it's acute perception for vi
bration and the distance of space that
has to be Travelled by the vibration
to reach the sensitiveness of this deli
cate piece of mechanism. 1t was said
that the Washington instrument re-
corded complete and perfect records
Of the north and south and east and
west movements. These are the great
est motions made since the San Fran
cisco disturbance.
1t has always been the policy of the
Weather Bureau to require its OBJ
servers at various parts of the coun-

phenomena of sufficient intensity to
be felt at stations, but no specific eff
fort has ever been made to provide
means by which this seismatic inf1u-
ence could be automatically recorded
and measured. The Washington Of

since 1892, but recently improved its
equipment by the addition of the more
modern instruments made by Omori, a

PANAMA CANAL BUILDING.

How the Work Is Being Pushed In
All Departments.
Members of the Panama canal COM
mission remaining on the isthmus are
in daily session or are going over the
line of the canal, says a Panama cor
respondent of the New York Herald.
Heads of departments are being called
on for reports. New assignments of
duty are being made. Men are being
shifted, some promoted and others
dropped, and the actual work of the
canal can now be considered under
way.
Chairman Shonts is living in Culebra
with Chief Engineer Stevens, and work
starts at 100 o'clock each morning and
continues into the night. Dinners and
entertainments are eschewed and down
right hard work is the order in every
branch of the department of engineer
ing and construction.
A site for the new town of Gatun
has been surveyed, and the rough es-
innate Of the cost of the mammoth
dam-the greatest on earth-to be con-
structed at that point has been put
at S5OO00,000 Gatun is only seven
miles from Colon. and the latter town
will profit by the big labor eXpendi-
ture to be made at the dam site.
Pedro Miguel will be the boom town
on the Pacific end of tie zone. Here
will be laid out new machine shops,
hotels and residences. Pedro Miguel
will profit by the erection of the big
dam and locks in Mirafores. Great
lailroad yards are now about completed,
and dirt and stone from Culebra cut
will be taken by the Panama railroad
engines at Pedro Miguel to be dumped
at the MirafiOres dam.
From Pedro Miguel the new line of
the Panama railroad will be run high
up on the east slope Of Culebra cut,
thence along the high ground clear
above the waters of the great lake that
will be backed up by the Gatun dam.
The high trestles and steep hill slopes
of the new railroad line will serve as
an admirable dumping ground for the
immense amount Of extra dirt that will
be taken out of the canal proper. With
the dams in Mirafores and Gatun there
will be about twelve miles of sea level
and thirty-five miles Of lock canal.
The greater part of the thirty-fve miles
will be an immense lake.
All along the line of the Panama rail-
road there is an immense amount OF
eouipment-cars, locomotives, steam
shovels, coal chutes, dirt spreaders, car
unloaders and minor material. Double
tracking the Panama railroad and pro-
viding dumping grounds are the imme-
diately pressing necessities, and many
hundreds of men are engaged in pro-
viding them. The almost incessant
rains. the sliding of hillsides and rail
road dumps and a big increase in ma
lariaI diseases are some Of the diff
culties under which the work is being
done, but now that the type of canal
has been determined there has been
a noticeable change of spirit, and every
man in charge Of department, big or
little, is imparting the energy OF &C.
comDlishment to those under him. The
whole movement looks Ike "sure

MONUMENT TO A PIG.
The Swine Discovered The Famous
Salt Springs in Luneburg.

Ibid you ever see monument to a
pig ?" said an invalid.
"No."
"Well there is such monument in
existence. The town of Luneburg, in
Hanover, owns it. 1t stands in the
town hall--a glass case containing an
embalmed ham from the pig, together
with a great slab of black marble en-
graved with letters of gold.
"Luneburg is town rich and fam
Gus through its salt springs. A pig
discovered these springs. To this pig
the monument was put up. The gold
en- inscription says in Latin:

mortal remains of the pig which ac-
quired for itself imperishable glory

The first seismograph was made by
James A. Ewing, in 1880, then profess
sor of mechanical engineering at the
University of Toxic, but now profess
sor of mechanism and applied me-
chanics at the University Of Cam
bridge, England. Numerous mOdifica-
lions have been made since then by
other inventors, but the most recent
invention, that of Omori, is best adapt
ed to measure and record all kinds Of
earthquakes, except perhaps the most
destructive. and is suitable to register
the feeble and unfeIt earthquakes,
which frequently occur in all parts OF
the earth. 1t is often the case that
earthquakes occur at sea, causing the
great seismatic ocean waves so often
experienced by seamen. These waves
are sometimes mountain high and
very destructive.
Some years ago a great earthquake
was reported from the Island OF For
mosa. Owing to the lack of hablta-
ton on parts of this island no reports
of damage were made. 1t is pecu-
liar fact, too, that although the shock
was unusually severe and very percep-
tible to lands in the vicinity OF For
mosa no records were made on either
the seismographs of Berlin, WashlnS-
ron or Austria. On the other hand,
records of great disturbances nave
been made on the instrument and no
reports of damage from shock ever
came to public notice. 1t is probable
that these shocks occurred on the bot
tom of the ocean or in the heart OF
Africa. or some other uninhablted
land.
