This inner tube when raised is held up

When the fame heats the curved
spring that fits over the top it expands,
allowing the inner tube to slip off this
point and rest on a point on the other
side of the circling ring of steel. This
is the safety catch. If the gas is blown
out by the countryman, if it is blown

COULD NOT REST
NIGHT OR DAY
With Irritating Skin Humor-Whole
Body Affected Scalp Itched All
the Time and Hair Began to Fall
0ut-Wonderful Result From
APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

81 am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since | tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. l did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then | began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but | became worse all
the time. My hair began to fall out and
my scalp itched all the time. Espe-
cially at night, just as. soon as l would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before l could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks | would take a hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and l kept getting better, and by the
time used four boxes of Cuticura | was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but | continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. 1t keeps all dam
druff cut and scalp is always clean. 1
always use Cuticura Ointment on my
face after shaving, and have found
nothing to equal it. l will never be

THREADS SPUN BY SPIDERS.
Play an Important Part In the Scf-
ence of AstrOnOmy.

ence OF Astronomy.
The cultivation of certain species of
spiders solely for the fine threads which
they weave for scientific uses has an
important bearing upon astronomy, the
oldest physical science. No substitute
for the spiders thread has yet been
found for bisecting the screw of the
micrometer used for determining the
positions and motions of the stars.
Not only because of the remarkable
fineness of the threads are they valu-
able. but because of their great durable
qualities.
Recently the set of spider lines In
the micrometer of the transit inStru
ment at the Allegheny observatory
were examined and found to be in per-
feet condition, although they were
placed there about forty-seven years
ago. The threads of certain spiders
raised for astronomical purposes with
stand changes in temperatures so that
often in measuring sun spots they are
uninjured when the heat is so great
that the lenses of the micrometer eye
piece is cracked.
These spider lines are only One-tfth
to one-seventh of a thousandth of an
inch IN diameter. compared to which
the threads of the silkworm are large
and clumsy Each line is made up or
several thousands of microscopic
streams of fluid. Under the most pow
erful magnifying glass they appear
true and round The work of placing
these lines in the micrometer requires
the delicate work of experts. who oper-
ate with the aid of microscopes which
magnify the line a thousand times.
The lines are placed parallel with each
other and two one-thousandths Of an
inch apart

SAFETY GAS BURNER.

Plants CbIoroformed.

One of the professors of the Copen-
hagen university whose name is with
held has obtained results from the APP
plication of anaesthesis to plants. He
first completely narcotics the plants
and then lays them aside in condi-
ton in all respects analogous to leth-
argic sleep. which lasts for consider
able period. On their revival from this
state they begin to bud and flower with
remarkable profusion. The known
physiology of plants does not explain
the phenomenon, but those who have
seen the results of the experiments
with ether and chloroform attest to the
reality of them.

been reached in previous years. In
