Lifts a Boy With His EyeIids.

Recently an Indian fakir appeared at
a circus in Berlin, where he astonished
the audience by lifting boy with his
eyelids. The boy made himself as
small as possible, and was put into Il
net to which was secured a string that
was provided Oh each end with little
cup Just large enough to mt over tfle
eye. The fakir pressed these little
cups over his eyes. where they held
fast, then threw his head back ahG

lifting his burden, which ne
then carried about-his arms be-
ing outstretched all the time-and
finally lowered it slowly to the ground
again. How is it possible for any
man to do this? The only explanation
is that the cups were fitted into the
eve sockets so that they held on the
edge of the sockets. but it is not likely
that the trick will be initiated by even
those prestidigitators who consider
themselves very expert.

reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to it's
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is MOTH

ABOUT CANNING WOOD.

II Fruit Can BE Preserved with gu.
gar Why Not Fence Posts.
The use Of sugar as preservative
Is familiar to those who love jam and
preserves. That it may serve to keep
from decomposition other substances
of organic origin is shown by Its re-
cent use in the treatment Of wood to
be used for building purposes. OF
this Jacques Boyer writes as follows
in La Nature:
Wood exposed to atmospheric influ-
ences rapidly decays. To remedy this,
engineers and builders adopt numerous
methods. Those most used hitherto
consist, In principle, in impregnating
the planks or timbers with very ener-
getic dialyzable antiseptic, insoluble in
water, not injurious to the wood fiber,
easy of injection, presenting no danger
in manipulation and forming with the
wood stable chemical compounds. In
| America, Haskin even proposes vulcan
| ization. He placed blocks Of wood In
an Theoretically sealed oven, and sub
| jected the air to high pressure at a
temperature Of 300 to TOO degrees. The
heat penetrated into the ligneous mass,
coagulated the albumen and increased
the resistance of the fibers. On the
other hand, various railway companies
inject their ties with creosote, with
zinc chloride or with copper sulphate,
which they find to answer very well.
But the method described by the
Leipziger Zeitung will doubtless obtain
legitimate success as a curiosity,
even IL not sanctioned by extensive
use. The new method of conservation
consists in treating the wood with a
solution of sugar. According to the
inventors, the operation may be ap-
piled to all kinds of wood and gives
them great solidity. For this purpose
the pieces of wood to be impregnated
are placed in cage that may be
plunged into a boiler. The latter is
then closed and filled with a solution
of beet sugar. The liquid penetrates
into the pores of the wood and COM
bines intimately with the woody sub
stance, although microscopic examina.
ton does not show the presence Of a
. single crystal Of sugar. The wood Ia
then withdrawn from the boiler and
| dried In a furnace heated to a tenn
perature depending on the structure OF
the wood subjected to treatment The
wood thus treated Is not porous; II
can be worked without shrinking OIL
cracking and seems to be exempt from
the attacks of fungi. 1t Is to be hoped
therefore, that the future will justify
the optimism of the chemists from
over the Rhine. 1t may be that thu

lences, for the new invention may rails

more like heaven.
Let us thank God for the multitudes
of good men and good women there are
In the world, and the proportion Is
greater than people think. One man
who jumps over Niagara makes far
more excitement than the thousands
who go there and do not jump. You
heard all about the man who leaped
from Brooklyn bridge not long ago, but
not one word concerning any of the
thousands who passed quietly over.
This Is Gods world, and a good
