TIE REALM OF SCIENCE.

Prof Wilhelm Wundt, the creator
of experimental psychology, now in
his severty-fourth year, recently cele-
DRAFTED the fiftieth anniversary of his
graduation with the Doctors degree.
A family luminous mist in the bulb
and on the fingers has been noted by
Prof. Sonimers on rubbing electric light
bulbs that have been not long in use.
No satisfactory explanation has been
given.
Palladium, a rare substance little
used, Is the active agent in automatic
gas lighting devices. Flame Is pro-
duced as soon as the Illuminating gas
strikes a pellet of asbestos covered
with mixture of palladium and fine
ny divided platinum, known as plat
mum black.
If odors were solid particles, they
would tend to form nuclei of cloudy
condensation in supersaturated air.
DIR. John Aitken has tested musk and
70 other odorous substances without
finding such nuclei, and he concludes
mat odors are gaseous and that smell
has gas as its fundamental basis.

phenomena, some scientists of Ruvo

In an attempt to liquefy helium,
Prof. Olszewski recently produced the
remarkably low temperature of ass de-
grees below zero, Fahrenheit. 1t was
done by suddenly expanding a mass
of gas helium which had been sub
5ected to a pressure of about 2,700
pounds to the square inch, in a tenn
lperature so low that 1t nearly solidi-
fed hydrogen. The helium showed
no sign OF liquefying.

BY Or. Williams Pink PILE.


Sufferers from ailments that have af-
flicted in regular succession one genera
ton after another Of their family are, az

gives the following account of her all
ment and her cure:
"For two years I suffered from trying
nervousness in my lower limbs from my
knees down, as my mother and my
grandmother had suffered before me.
The situation was for many years ac-
cepted as unavoidable because heredi-
tary. But about two years ago, when my
SON was realizing benefit from the use of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills, thought there
might possibly be some good in them for
me. Ny trouble had then become SO
serious as to make it difficult for me to

OLD FASHIONS IN CLOCKS.

Conspicuous by their simplicity,

called Gothic clocks, once a favor

with the top not fat, but carried
up to ridge line, like sharp
pointed roof, with the gableend to
the front, and having as its base,
on either side, at the top of the
body of the clock, a littlespire, the
lower section of the door of the
clock, below the dial, painted with
some sort of design.
There were cottage clocks, these
smaller than the Gothics, and, like
all these old-time- clocks, with
cases of wood. The cottage clocks
are simple and trim-looking, with
upright, square cOrnered cases.
And then there were bigger
clocks, larger than the cottage
clocks and larger than the Goth
les, clocks with their long door

styles all the time, and the great

still continue to sell clocks of q
few of those once familiar old
styles. Some of these Old-style
clocks we make with modern
springmoyements within their old
time cases, and others of them we
make with the old-time clock
weights.
"Of all these new old-style
clocks, comparatively few are
sold in big cities. They go mostly
to smaller towns and to the coun.
try. But it would not do to say
that they are bought by old-time
people, clinging to old-time ways
and styles. They may find such
buyers, and other buyers any
where may fancy them for their
quaintness or for old-time associ-
ations; but they are as likely to
be bought by people living in old
