PrehistOric Tracks.

OF more than unusual interest are
the old prehistoric bird tracks" Of the
Connecticut valley to either active
sportSmen or students Of natural his
tory, signs Of what is called the uias-
sic period. says J. 2. McIlwain In Rec
reation- Just outside the city Of Hol-
yoke, Mass, between the old road and
the new state road to Northampton,
there Is a patch about 80 by 100 feet
which has been cleared Of all surface
earth by parties interested In geology
and which il now protected by the
state. This patch Is completely COW
cred with well defined tracks and
most Of which viii measure twelve to
fourteen inches In the longest parts
and eight to ten inches wide, while In
depth they are from one to two and
oneAah inches

Rur.. Mod.rn and Antiau..

Because many antiques are admira-
BILE II no reason for denying the merit
Of modern rugs. There are more rugs
Of high quality being woven today
than ever before, and this Is due princi-
paIly to the fact that there is a better
market for them than ever before. The
United States alone imports $4,000, 900
worth a year, about two and a half
millions before the duty is paid. No
wonder that the shah Of Persia nurses
the rug weaving industry tenderly, be
slowing orders and honorable rewards
on successful rug merchants and in
dIcting the most severe penalties for
the use Of anIline dyes or anything cal
culatsd TO bring Persian rugs into dis
repute.-Country Life In America.

Medicine For Trees.

Often the roots Of fruit trees, more
exhausted than the parts In the air, re-
fuse to supply the branches with their
proper nourishment To cure or pro-

injected solutions Of sulphate Of iron
and other chemicals into their trunks.
The liquid penetrates into the cells Of
the trees, but not into the old wood It

RainfaII md Tree Growth.

A report has recently been published
which shows how closely the growth Of
trees Is dependent upon rainfall. Not
only was this seen In the case Of one
and two year old trees, but In an In
vestigation extending over a period
Of twelve years, during which time the
annual rings Of growth were carefully
examined With an annual precipita-
ton Of from thirty to thirty-flve inches
q width Of ring was produced varying
from IL to .15 inch. II, on the other
hand, there was either an unusually
large or small rainfall In any given
year this was followed by a CORE
spending tree growth In the following
year.-Harpers Weekly.

information Against Commission Dis.
solved and Case Remanded for
Further Hearing.

Cincinnati, Oct. 3-The Kentucky
racing commission law was declared
constitutional and the information
against the racing commissionion was
dissolved and the case remanded to
the lower court for further proceed
ing by the United States circuit court
OF appeals in this city Tuesday. The
decision was announced by Judge
Cochran. The last legislature passed
what Is known as the racing commits
sion law, the purpose being to avoid
conflicting dates on tracks at the same
place and to limit racing in general
80 as to avoid too long meetings at
any one point. The Douglas Park
track with Louisville brought suit
against the members of the racing
commission individually to restrain
them from preventing the holding Of
race meeting during the time set
for a rival track. The lower court
granted the Injunction, and the case
was at once appealed. This injunc-
ton was Tuesday dissolved and the
law declared to be constitutional in
long opinion in which all points raised
in the lower court were gone over.
It was held that by the court review"
provision of the law much that might
be said against it had been reviewed.
Judge Cochran said that the whole case
turned on the question of the public
welfare and read decisions in other
cases where it had been held that
limitations were advisable and neces-
sary in permitting many kinds Of
business, where racing was on.
Louisville, KY, Oct. 3.-The state
racing commission law, which was up
held by the federal circuit court OF
appeals Tuesday was passed by the
last session of the Kentucky legisla-
ture. 1t places the regulation of races
in the state under a state board of
racing commissioners appointed by
the governor, which has full power
to grant dates or prevent race meet
ings, as it sees fit.
Suit to test the law was begun by
Louis Celia, of ST. Louis, and others,
members of the Western Jockey club
and owners of the Douglas Park track
at Louisville. They were at first re-
fused dates, and sought an Injunction
In the federal circuit court here, which
was granted, Judge Evans holding
that the law was unconstitutional.
The decision of the higher court re-
verses this decision.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an
intamed condition of the mucous Inning of the
Eustachtan Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
Ing, and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nve cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an.inhamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness Caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
