Washington.-For the first time In
thirteen years the government an
nounces its purpose to purchase silver
for coinage purposes. Tenders are In
vited at the office OF the director OF
the mint In this city on Wednesday. the
cry Wednesday thereafter until further
notice. These tenders are to be for
delivery at the Philadelphia, New Or
leans or Denver mints, settlement to be

guaranteed 999 fine.
The average requirements OF the
treasury throughout the year will prob
ably not exceed 100000 ounces per
week. and 1t will be the policy Of the
department. while keeping reasonable

purchases throughout the year that Its
demand will be uniform and not an
element of uncertainty in the market.
The stock OF bullion in the treasury
and since then no bullion has been
available for the subsidiary use.
The stock In the treasury had be-
come SO low that II was apparent, ac-
| cording to the department. that the de-
| mands OF constantly enlarging trade
| could not be met without additional
| coinage.
The United States government has
been in the past an important factor In
the silver market. In preparing for
the resumption of specie payments and

currency issued during and following
the Civil War, 1t began In January.

The next appearance OF the govern
| ment In the silver market was under
the Bland.Aliison act of February 2S.
| 1878. The first purchase under this act
4 was made at sl.2l sic per fine ounce.
and the total expenditure for bullion
under this act was S30S. .2I9. .260. The

ounces. costing sl53.93l ,SO2. or an av-

THE TAIL OF A COMET.


The tail OF Il come. Is not formed OF
the same particles which composed 1t
yesterday or even an hour or moment
ago. 1t is constantly being renewed at
the expense Of the nucleus. As the long
stream of black smoke from the neigh
boring factory or mill is beng continu-
ally renewed By fresh particles of car
bon released by the combustion going
Oh in the furnace below, so is the Won
derful luminous train Of cometary bod
les being constantly replenlslled by
particles flying from or rather driven
from the nucleus by the intense heat Of
the sun
Then, again, how infinitely small and
how intensely luminous must these par
ticles that go to make up the tail of Il
comet be. This thought Is suggested by
the fact that it has been proved that in
some cases the nucleus of comets which
are only few hundred miles In diane
ter will have enormous faniike tails
stretching across space for Il distance
exceeding 2Oo.0OO.000 miles and having
bulk exceeding that Of the sun by
more than 10000 times. Professor f..
f. Barnard beautifully illustrates the
formation of Il comets tail by ''suppos-
ing" thus: Suppose, for example, that
the nucleus OF comet Is composed of
Ice. Then suppose the heat of the sun
to be SO intense as to rapidly melt that
portion OF the ice globe exposed to the
action OF It's rays, which are strong
enough to Immediately convert 1t into
vapor. which ascends toward the sun.
Imagine now fierce wind blowing
out from the sun, causing the vapor
which meets it to be whirled out into
space behind the comet. This will
clearly Illustrate the theory Of the for
nation of Il comets tail, only that the
nucleus of the comet is not ice and the
yapor is not water vapor, neither Is the
force which drives 1t away from the
sun fierce wind"
TlA unknown force limited at by the
astronomer above quoted readily ex-
plains why 4 comets tail, as a rule,
points In an opposite direction to the
sun. The Russian astronomer Brcde-
chen distinguishes three different types
of cometary tails-those composed OF
particles having the specific gravity of
hydrogen, those having the specific
gravity OF hydrocarbon gas and third
class having all the pecullarities OF an
equal mixture of hydrogen and iron
yaDor.

out warning that a certain nursery
company, operating from outside the
state, is representing through its agents
that the products of such nursery are
guaranteed by the society. This repre-
sentation is false, and any contract Sc

CONSUMPTION'S WARNING

The aid of scientific inventions is not
needed to determine whether your lungs
are affected The first symptoms can be
readily noted by anyone of average in

There is no disease known that gives SO
many plain warnings of its approach as
consumption, and no serious disease that
can be SO quickly reached and checked
if the medicine used is DR.. Boschee's
German Syrup, which is made to cure
consumption.
1t is in the early stages that German
Syrup should be taken, when warnings
are given i'll the cough that won't quit
the congestion of the bronchial tubes and
the gradual weakening of the lungs, ac-
companied by frequent expectoration
But no matter how deep-seated your
cough, even if dread consumption has
already attacked your lungs, German
Syrup will surely effect cure-as it has
done before in thousands of apparently
hopeless cases of lung trouble.
