IT wish to inform you that Cuticura
Remedies have put a stop to twelve
years of misery passed with my son. As
an infant l noticed on his body red
spot, and treated same with different
remedies for about five years, but when
the spot began to get larger | put him
under the care of doctors. Under their
treatment the disease spread to four diff
ferent parts of his body. The longer the
doctors treated him the worse it grew.
During the day it would get rough and
form like scales. At night it would be
cracked, infamed, and badly swollen, with
terrible burning and itching. When
think of his suffering, It nearly breaks
my heart. His screams could be heard
down stairs The suffering of my son
made me full of misery. l had no ambi-
ton to work, to eat, nor could | sleep.
One doctor told me that my sons eczema
was incurable, and gave it up for bad
job. One evening l saw an article in
the paper about the wonderful Cuticura
and decided to give it trial. | tell you
that Cuticura Ointment is worth its
weight in gold, and when had used the
first box of Ointment there was a great
Improvement, and by the time had used
the second set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment,
and Resolvent, my child was cured. He
is now twelve years old, and his skin
is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael

Unique and Interesting Experiments

Some interesting experiments IN the
photography, by means OF Suo-
merged camera, of objects above the
surface of a sheet of water, are de-
scribed by Prof. r. w. Wood IN Inc
Johns Hopkins University Circular
Prof. Wood says that his object was
to ascertain how the outer worlo
would appear to a fish. He writes:
In discussing the peculiar type OIL
refraction which occurs when llsnt
from the sky enters the surface Oh
still water, it seems Of interest 10 as
certain how the external world ap-
pears to the fish. AS is we'll known an
eye below the surface OF the water
sees the sky compressed into com
paratively small circle OF light, the
center Of which is always Immediately
above the observer, the appearance
being as if the pond were covered
with an Opaque roof with circular
aperture or window cut In 1t. The
objects surrounding the pond, such as
trees, houses or fishermen, must APP
pear around the rim Of the circle OF
light, but we are unable to get clear
notion Of their appearance, since our
eyes are not adapted to distinct vision
under water. 1t occurred to me that

DEVICE FOR TAKING "FIS-l EYE
things appear to the fish could be OBJ
tanned by immersing camera in wa
ter and photographing the circle Of
light, for it is easy enough to arrange
a lens and Iate so as to obtain a
sharp image when both are immersed
in water. The apparatus was con-
structed out of lard-pail, short
focus lens provided with very small
diaphragm being cemented over a
hole perforated in a metal disk which
rested on a rim soldered around the
inside Of the pail. The plate was
placed on the bottom OF the pail and
the whole filled with clean water in a
dark room. The lens was covered by
a metal cap, operated by handle on
the outside OF the pail. The apparatus
was set on the ground, and the sur
face of the water covered with a sheet
of glass to prevent ripples, the pail
being so full that the glass was in
contact with the water. This arrange
ment obviated the necessity of i'm
1llersing the affair in a pond, since
the function of the latter was per-
formed by the water in the pail above
the lens. A diagram of the arrange
ment is shown in Fig. 1, together with

Self-1gniting Mantle

Platinum sponge becomes incandes-
cent on contact with gas and causes its
ignition. This phenomenon has given
ducing the fame direct. NM. Rouxe-
vile and Michaud have patented If
France a process in which the addition
OF any foreign apparatus to the mantle
is avoided. They have recourse simolv
to mixture in which platinum sponge
is the essential ingredient, composed OF
refractory and adhering substances.

er of igniting the gas, and of thus be-
coming incandescent. The stem 7av

Steam Without Fire.

A new type of boiler that Is able to
keep on supplying steam for several
hours after the fire has been extin-
guished has been devised by Mr.
Maurice, engineer in-chief of the
French navy, and is attracting con-
siderable attention, being operated
upon a novel and original plan. This
invention which was awarded a prize
at the end of the last year by the
Academic des Sciences, is thus de-
scribed In the Scientific American
Supplement:
"The principle Of the storage Of
heat consists in the use OF n mixture
of salts having great specific heat and
surrounding the greater part OF the
tubular system of the boiler. The tenn
perature Of these salts rises to about
$50 degrees c. (S4l degrees F. during
the heat The result forms a new So
luton Of the problem which was for
merly solved by the use OF reservoirs
OF superheated water and here we
have an economy Of weight as well as
space. After the heat which has ac-
cumplated during the run after the
fire Is extinguished, the accumulation
Of the heat IS again made very quickly
after the fire is started. The system
is OF special .alue in the marine, and
also In electric stations. The result
OF the first experiments which have
been made at Cherbourg are quite IA
vorable, and no doubt the system will
be applied 1fterward on larger
scale"

FRAGMENTS OF BURSTED SHELL.

upon the picture:
The average citizen who is accus-
toned to reading of shells and other
munitions of war rarely has the faint
est conception Of the fearfully devas-
tating effect that results when shell
eAplOQeS.
THE shell, which was known as a
siX-inch A. P. shell, originally weighed
1929 pounds; the recovered fragments
aggregated "a 3-15 pounds, Of which
the largest piece weighed 10A pounds.
The average weight Of the pieces was
SIG ounces. The shell, which was
loaded with black powder, on being
fired from the gun passed through six
inches of hard-faced Krupp plate, and
burst when about eight feet beyond.
Arrangements had previously been
made for the recovery of as large a
number Of fragments as possible.
When the count was made there
were almost $50 pieces. Had the pro-
jectile burst in group Of men, the
fatal results can easily be imagined"

KNOWS NOW
Doctor Was Fooled by His Own Case
for a Time,

It's easy to understand how ordi-
nary people get fooled by coffee when
doctors themselves sometimes forget
the facts.
A physician speaks of his own ex-
perience:
Il had used coffee for years and
really did noe exactly believe it was
injuring me although l had palpita-
ton Of the heart every day.
Finally one Cay severe and al
most fatal attack Of heart trouble
frightened me and | gave up both
tea and coffee, using Postum instead
and since that time l have had alb
solutely no heart palpitation except
on one or two occasions when l tried
a small quantity OF coffee which
caused severe irritation and proved
TO me must let it alone.
When we began using Postum it
seemed weak-that was because we
did not make it according to direc-
tions-but now we put a little bit OF
butter in the pot when boiling and
allow the Postum to boil full Is min
utes which gives it the proper rich
flavor and the deep brown color.
II have advised a great many OF
my friends and patients to leave off
coffee and drink Postum, in fact |
daily give this advice" Name given

Many thousands OF physicians use
Postum in place Of tea and coffee in
their own homes and prescribe il 10
