Although usually regarded as q sign
of age, gray hair, or canities, as it is
called in the language Of medicine, is
not always so. 1t may appear early
in life, even in the teens In that case
it usually affects young women rather
than young men.
A popularity about the gray hair Of
the young Is that it is almost always
entirely white, and becomes so sudden
ly. All the hairs are equally affected
and one seldom sees the mixed color,
or iron gray, so common in those Of
middle or advanced age.
Sometimes in the young, even in chill
dren, there is one gray lock like an is
land in the sea of normally colored hair
about it. This is usually family Pc
culiarity, occurring in one generation
after the other.
The cause of hair turning gray Is
something that puzzles the doctors
The color of the hair is due to the
deposit of pigment in the interior of
each hair, and grayness follows the loss
of this pigment. That is self-evldent,
but the puzzle is what causes the pig
ment to disappear. Some have believed
that it is due to the drying of the hair,
which causes a shrinkage of its fibers,
and so allows the entrance of air bub-
bles, the refraction>of light from which
then gives the white appearance.
The proof which is adduced in sup
port of this belief is that if a gray hair
is put into the receiver of a. air pump
and the air is then exhausted the color
of the hair may return more or less
completely.
Metchnlkoff, the famous bacteriolog-
list, says the cause of grayness is the
penetration into the hair of wandering
cells, resembling the white blood cor
puscles. These cells, assisted by other
cells, the aggregation of which makes
the hair, seize upon the granules of
pigment and destroy them.
Nearly everyone has read of in
stances of the sudden bleaching Of the
hair-even in a single highlander the
influence of fear, grief or some other
Intense mental emotion. That such
cases have occurred is undoubted, but
the explanation by either of the
theories above mentioned is difficult
There is no cure for gray hair SO far
as is known. The use of curling irons
Is s3id to retard its formation; perhaps,
If Metchnikoff Is right, by destroying
the activity Of the cells which consume
the pigment.-Youth's Companion.

walk of life and are essential to per-
manent success and creditable stand
ing. Accordingly, it is not claimed
that Syrup of Figs and Elixir of
SIENNA is the only remedy of known
value, but one of many reasons why
it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it cleanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal
organs on which it acts without any
facilitating after effects and without
having to increase the quantity from
time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component
parts are known to and approved by
physicians, as it is free from all
Objectionable substances. To get its
beneficial effects always purchase the

CRUISE is NO AFFAIR OF JAPAN

None Offense.

Washington-"No such relation ex-
lists between America and Japan as
would make it improper to send the
American fleet into the Pacific. If
there were, the relations between
America and Great Britain and the
relations between America and
France, which are the same, would
forbid the maintenance of the battle
ship fleet in the Atlantic ocean"
This was the reply returned by Sec
rotary Root to the direct question as
to whether Japan had entered any
protest against the dispatch Of Adj
miral Evans fleet to the Pacific next
December. The statement was made
al the conclusion of long conference
between Secretary Root and Ambas-
sador Aoh of Japan at the state de-

SEA RAILWAY A M1RACLh.


Cost S32,OOO,OOO.
The railroad which Henry M. Flag.
Ter and his millionaire associates in
the Standard OIL Company are build
Ing over the Atlantic ocean from the
mainland to Key West, Fla, has made
such progress that it Is announced that
the line will be completed by the sum-
mer Of 1909.
This railway is the worlds most ex-
traordinary engineering project to-day,
and engineers at least say that when
completed it will be wonder of the
world. The railway will be 160 miles
long. All the way from mainland to
Key West are small islands or keys.
as they are called, some an acre or less
in extent. The builders of the road
are connecting these keys with immense
viaducts supported by huge abutments
of solid concrete. At one point, two
keys are three miles apart, but the en-
glneers did not hesitate They found
the ocean only forty feet deep, and they
proceeded at once to construct a great
| connecting bridge. Cofferdams were
sunk and the bed of the ocean was
dredged out in places to solid rock
Then the soil concrete foundations were
laid. The engineers are confident that
the worst ocean storms will not disturb
their bridges.
The railroad will be the most expen.
sive in the world. 1t is costing $780,,
900 a mile to build, which means 9
total expenditure, exclusive of terInin-
ais, Of $32,0OO,0O0.

respondent OF the Cincinnati CONNER
cial.
General Boynton spoke out in meet

that made the statesmen angry. He
had many personal encounters with
patriots whose feelings had been ruff
fled.
One night a man came into Boyn-
tons office loudly proclaiming that he
intended to shoot Boynton. The gen.
eral grabbed a chair, beat the intruder
over the head with it, knocked him
down and threw him out. All this time
Sterret sat at his desk, looking on in
great amaZement.

Sterret came timidly over to Boynton'

Office nor the customs that pertain to
