DISLIKE SMELL OF KEROSENE.
Cats Particularly Will Not Stay
Where Oil Is Used.

Il never knew until this winter"
said the superintendent of a dog and
cat hospital, how thoroughly most
animals detest the smell of kerosene.
Several times the steam heating ap-
paratus in this place went on strike
and we tried to raise the temperature
by means of an oil stove. The smell
OF the oil produced regular mutiny
among the animals. Cats are partic-
ularly sensitive to the odor of kero-
sene. Next door to my house is a
stationery store which has been heat
ed all winter long with an oil stove.
In the beginning of the season the
proprietor owned a fine cat that
seemed well satisfied with his COM
Portable quarters. No sooner, how
ever, was that stove lighted than the
cat deserted the stationer and sought
home for the winter in a steam
heated fiat further down the street.
He comes back once in awhile on a
visit, but the smell of the oil pre-
vents his becoming regular inhab-
liant of the store.'

Life Of Our Coal Fields.


If the rate of consumption of 1905
were maintained indefinitely, without
change. our coal would last approx.
mately 1000 years, but If the con-
stantly increasing rate which has
marked the consumption during the
past 80 years be maintained, our coal
VIII practically be exhausted within
100 years.
1t does not seem probable that the
rate OF increased consumption will be-
anected materially for a great many
years to come, and hence the estimate
OF 100 years will be nearer the truth
than 1000 years. The real life of our

THE sUNFLowER AND ou,NlNE.
Discovery Made That Plant Yields a
Splendid Febrifuge.

An eminent Spanish professor has
made the discovery that the sunfow-
er yields a splendid febrifuge that can
be used as substitute for quinine
More than ten years ago Moncorvo
reported to the Therapeutical society
of Paris with reference to the same
subject. Accordingly the sunfower
should not only by it's growing exert
great fever-dispelling effect, but also
yield product which is used advan-
tageously i'm all fevers.
The common sunfiower is an Amer
lean plant. It's original home is
stated by eminent botanists to be
Peru and Mexico.
The Russian peasantry seem to be
convinced that the plant possesses
properties against fever, and fever pa
tients sleep upon bed made of sun
flower leaves and also cover them
selves with. them. This use has re-
Gently induced a Russian physician to
experiment with a coloring matter
prepared from sunflower leaves, and it
is stated that he has had good results
with the coloring matter and with al
coholic extracts from the flower and
leaves. With 100 children from one
month to II years old he has, in the
majority of cases, effected as speedy
a cure as otherwise with quinine
