solute unreliability. Benagnetization move the cause. Demagnetizing ma chimes in use are of various degrees of accuracy and they are not always immediately available.
 Tt may be understood that under these conditions, makers have sought practical methods of protecting the movements of clocks and watches against etization-certainly a more effective thing than to demag netize them after they have been al ready magnetized.
 The most recent effort of this sort, we are told, is that of a Parisian watchmaker named Leroy, who has made for the Photographic service of the French navy non-magnetic chro- nometer which keeps much better time than any of it's other timepieces, the variation being only 3.02 seconds in three months, while pieces with so- called non-magnetic balance-wheels varied from 5.S5 to 1929 seconds. To quote further:
 Tt should be added that the screens need only be partial, and may, for instance, be reduced to a sim pie iron plate within the case, when the wearer is exposed to magnetic ac- ton only on the one side It is then sufficient to place the watch in the pocket in such way that the plate is between the movement and the electric source against which protec- ton is desired.
 Leroy also constructs exterior screens-cases in which an ordinary watch may be placed when it is de- sired to avoid the expense of chang ing it's own case. Neyret brothers also make such cases, which they call electrophages. :"

Rich Men Work for Pleasure.

Theodore Gill, the worlds greatest authority on fishes, works for the United States government, receiving one dollar month for his services. He is a rich man on whom many univer- sities have conferred titles and de- grees. Dr. Harrison G. Dyer, another wealthy man, who knows more about nosquitoes than any other living per ;on. devotes much of his time to gov ernment, receiving $25 month. Gif- ford Pinchort, millionaire, is head of the United States forestry service, but he is comparatively well paid, his sal ary being S45 per annum. Several other rich men are on the government pay roll at nominal figures, working for the pleasure of doing things" as President Roosevelt puts it.

 IMPROVED TRAIN LIGHTING.
Vibration Caused by Electric Motors In Baggage Cars to Be Overcome.

Vibration in passenger trains from high speed electric lighting engines was the subject of an interesting paper presented at the meeting in Chicago of the Western Society of Engineer by F. W. Huels, of the de partment of electrical engineering in the University of Wisconsin The paper gave the results of the vibra- tion produced by the reeiprocating action of high speed engines used for generating electricity for the light ing of railway cars. The tests were made to demonstrate the extent to which these unpleasant vibrations are transmitted back into the train. By means of a specially designed seisno- graph which he constructed Mr
 Huels was able to get accurate records of the exact amount and character of the vibration caused by the electric lighting engine in the baggage car
 The investigation shows that it is difficult to get rid of this source of annoyance to passengers, especially when the train is not in motion. The substitution of steam turbines for the reciprocating engines in the train lighting field was shown by Mr. Huels to be the best solution of the problem.

REMEDY FOR sEASICKNESS.
New Contrivance Which Is Said to
 Bring Sure and Quick Relief.

The well-known traveller and writer Eugene Wolf says in one of his books, that the best remedy for seasickness is the application to the head of a wet compress, as hot as can be borne. This suggestion, however, is difficult to carry out in practice unless the traveller is provided with a sea-proof servant or companion, for in a sea- way the stewards are apt to be too busy to furnish fresh hot congresses, at short intervals, to all who are in need of them.
 A device which enables the desired result to be attained without the stewards intervention has recently been put upon the market. It con sists of leather cap lined with a thick cushion of wet felt, which can be fastened very tightly about the head. The wet compress is kept hot by wires, which may be connected with the electric lighting system of the ship. Its effect is an increased flow of blood to the brain, and, there fore, the removal of the cerebral anae- mia which is the cause of seasickness. This appliance has the advantage that the patient can enjoy absolute rest, as no removal of the compress is nee essary. As the compress is aseptic it may be used for many patients

A New Microphone.

One of the greatest difficulties to be overcome in the telephonic reproduc. tion of the human voice, especially at great distances, where microphonic re. lays must be employed, is the produc- tion of an exact correspondence be- tween the variations in intensity of the electric current and the varying vibrations of the microphonic mem. brane In a new microphone, recently introduced by the Telephonic Company of Zurich, Switzerland, says the Youths Companion, it is believed this difficulty has been SO far overcome that strong and weak voices are al
 most equally well produced and the apparatus permits of the use of a much stronger battery. The various audiphonic devices for the deaf should benefit from this improvement, as we'll as long-distance telephone lines

BRING GOOD HEALTH
pr. William Pink Pills, Used After the Grip, Arrest Fatal Decline and
 Rebuild the System.

Any bodily weakness caused by a deficiency in the blood can be cured by the use of Dr. Williams Pink Pills because these pills actually make new blood. After attacks of the grip the blood is generally run down and the patient continues to decline.
 About three years ago." says Mrs. Jennie Cowan, of 718 N. Henry Street, West Bay City, Mich. q caught severe cold, which ran into the grip. I was confined to my bed for two weeks. At the end of that time I was able to be about, but was completely run down. I was so weak l could hardly stand, my cheeks had no color and I felt faint. My heart would f1utter and it was difficult for me to breathe at times. Neuralgia settled in the back of my head and stomach and I suffered from rheuma- tism in my shoulders.
 ''I had the care of the best doctor in town but became no better until a friend told me one day how she had been cured by Dr. Williams Pink Pills and I decided to try them I soon felt better and continued using them until 1 was entirely cured. They built me up again to perfect health and I use them now whenever I feel at all sick and they always help me-"
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are inyal- unable in such cases, as well as in other blood diseases, because they not only drive off the germs of the disease but build up the system. The pills have cured anaemia, rheumatism. af- ter-effects of levers, neuralgia and many other severe disorders.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent, postpaid, on receipt of price, 50 cents per box, six boxes $2.50, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

New Electric Furnace.

In order to determine the points of fusion of refractory substances, w. c. Heraeus has constructed at Hanau a new electric furnace, the essential part of which consists of a tube of iridium 20 millimeters thick and 40 millimeters in diameter, and in which temperatures between 1,500 and 2,000 degrees centigrade may be maintained for any desired length of time To at tain a temperature of 2,O00 degrees it is necessary to send through the tube an electric current of 1,200 amperes at five volts. At certain temperature the substance under examination be- gins to soften, and at temperature five to 15 degrees higher, depending upon the nature of the substance com plete fusion occurs.

Automatic Alarm

A French automatic alarm is ad- unstable by small or large rises of temperature, and may be used to give warning of fire or to signal too much heating of any substances, as coal, fats, etc. It depends upon the expansion of the air in closed com. partment of metallic vessel. The increased pressure forces diaphragm upward, and this touches the adjust. ing screw, closing an electric cir cult. One bell cirluit may be made to serve for several of these slm. pie pieces of apparatus, which may be distributed in the danger spots of any establishment

There is talk in England of the pro posed development of the natural re- sources of the Sudan through scien- tific exploration. Immense forests line the banks of the Blue Nile along Its upper reaches, extending to the Abyssinian frontier. The ebony tree is met with along that river and also near the Sobat. Along the White Nile the india rubber creeper. valuable source of rubber, abounds. There are large forests in the Bahr-el-Ghazal province and gold has been mined in some of the mountains. Search will be made for fuel.

It was in the days of old when knights were bold and dressed in gleaming armor.

 By the tower of London-no, roared George, as he sharpened his lance. You haven't spinning wheel for a husband"
 Two hours later George returned from the fray with his armor bat tered and torn.
 Dearest Priscilla he said, soft ly, wilt thou not put a few patches on my dress suit?'
 No, George" replied Priscilla, sweetly. You haven't blacksmith for wife, .
 And the bold knight was so hu- initiated he went over to Ye Frozen Heart tavern and stood the tavern keeper off for a tankard.

Life Without Mind.

The possibility of life without mind, while not subject to positive proof, is a theory that has gained considerable strength recently through it's advocacy by Dr. l.. Laloy, librarian of the Academy of Sciences. Paris He be- lieyes that many of the smaller living organisms, such as insects, are mere moving machines, having no more in- telligence than may be ascribed to plants. He refers to the well known fact that insects are attracted by light. often to their own destruction, and as- cribes it to the same cause that in- clines the plant to grow toward the light.

Use of Kites in Mar.

One of the lessons learned from the late British army maneuvers is that kites can be used for observa ton purposes when weather .condi tions render work with the army bal looms impracticable. The plan used was the suspension of small car from the lowest of a series of box kites In the car was placed a signaI service man who made observations and reported what he observed by means of signal flags. The kites held the car steady in winds too boisterous to permit the ascent of the war bal looms.

though the apparatus is not too cost ly or cumbersome to be carried by every passenger. Its effect is said to have been very beneficial in every case in which it has been employed, so that it would appear to be destined to come, very soon, into general use. The same prophecy, however, says Scientific American, has been made in regard to many other remedies for seasickness, and has not been full filed
