where il there place having just these
opportunities.

Deafness Cannot Re Cured

by local applications as they cannot reachthe
diseased portion ofthe ear. There is only one
way 10 cure deafness, and that is by const
tutional remedies. Deafness is caused byan
infiamed condition of the mucous lining OF
the Eustacbian Tube. When this tube isin-
famed YOU have a rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when il is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the infiam-
nation can be taken out and this tube re-
stored TO its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever. Nine cases out Of ten
are caused by catarrh which is nothing but an
iniamed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
We will give One hundred Dollars for any

Perforated Sails.

Although the assertion recently
made by an Italian sea captain that
the power of sails was increased by
their being perforated was ridiculed,
1t has Just been proved that he was
right.
His theory was that the force OF
the wind cannot fairly take effect on
an inflated sail because of the cushion
of immovable air that fills up the hol-
low. To prevent the creation and
presence OF that cushion he pierced
the sails with many holes, through
which the wind blew, the balance or
the air pressure striking against the
canvas and exercising its full effect.
Several experiments have been made
on these lines. and the results are de-
clared TO have been eminently salts

take as equivalent TO saying because
they are no longer receiving the con-

and from the air-but as conse-

develops, just at the junction of the

portion of the tree, certain corklike
cells which have very little adhesion,
so that the leaf is very liable TO be

After visit of inspection 10 the inn
migrant station on Ellis island recent
ly, Victor Metcalf, secretary of the de-
partment OF commerce and labor, de-
clared the detention quarters on the
island were too small and overcrowd-
ed. The secretary was accompanied
by Frank p. Sargent, commissioner
general of immigration. After look
ing the detention rooms over Mr. Met
calf said that some changes must be
made. Ellis island, he said, was too
small to admit Of great enlargement in
any direction.
He declared he would give his APP
proval TO an appropriation by con
gress to increase the accommodations
and suggested that one way Of lessen
ing overcrowding would be to establish
examination boards in European ports
TO determine the eligibility Of immi
grants for admission. The secretary
said he would favor change in the
present law which excludes boys less
than 10 years old, who are unaccom-
panied Under this law. he said, many
desirable immigrants are excluded.
