Adams did not make his appearance,

RAISING ThE vARYAc.
The Remarkable Success Of Japanese
Engineers.

On February 8. 1904. the fast Rus
sian cruiser varyag, $500 tons, was
driven from the neutral harbor Of Che
mulpo, and after engagement with the
japanese fleet was riddled with shot
and sunk by her commander. For 80
months she lay on the bottom, deep
in mud, which partly filed the ship,
then was brought to the surface and
is now in service in the navy which
sank her.
The event is extremely interesting
as the most notable success of its
kind, and accomplished under diff
culties which were pronounced i'm
possible to overcome. Not only was
the hull nearly buried in mud, but
a fiye-knot an hour current made the
work OF the diveis slow and danger

Sure to Have One.

Lincoln Steffens, In an address on
municipal politics, said in Chicago of
a certain city:
THAT city is as notorious for its
r%ottenness as the town of Pebbles is
notorious for another characteristic.
Here is an incident that will give
you an idea of the reputation of Peb-
bles.
On a train one day a man rushed
into a car, held up his hand for atten-
ton, and shouted excitedly:
Anybody here who belongs to
Pebbles?'
AYE; I do said a small, dry old
fellow calmly.
Then said the other, lend US yer
corkscrew.'"

FEET OUT.
She Had Curious Habits.

When a person has to keep the feet
out from under cover during the cold
est nights in winter because of the
heat and prickly sensation, it Is time
that coffee, which causes the trouble,
be left off.
There is no end to the nervous con-
diticns that coffee will produce. 1t
shows in n way in one person and in
another way in another. In this case
the lady lived in 8. Oak. She says:
Il have had to lie awake half the
night with my feet and limbs out of
the bed on the coolest nights. and felt
afraid to sleep for fear Of catching
cold. / had been troubled for years
with twitching and jerking Of the
lower limbs, and for most of the time
l have been unable to go to church or to
lectures because of that awful feeling
that | must keep On the move.
when 1t was brought to my atten-
tion that coffee caused so many ner-
vous diseases, | concluded to drop
coffee and take Postum Food Coffee to
see II my trouble raj caused by coffee
drinking.
4 only drank n cup Of coffee for
breakfast but that was enough to do
the business for me. When I quit It
my troubles disappeared in an almost
miraculous way. Now ! have no more
Of the jerking and twitching and al
sleep with any amount Of bedding over

OVERCOMING NATURAL LAWS.
Fish Kept Alive Out Of Water by
Means Of Oxygen.

Fish alive and kicking may now be
received at any distance from the
waters in which they are captured. In
other words, the salmon of the Co
lumbia, the trout of Maine, the bass
OF Florida may be shipped to any part
OF the United States with as great IA
cllity as a bale Of hay or a crate of
oranges. And when the fish reach
uheir destination they are as lively as
II they were in their native element,
although they have not seen the water
since they we're taken from sea CT
river. The possibility of doing this
we owe to the Germans, and in a re-
cent issue of Der Tag (Berlin) Hans
Dominik tells us how 1t may be done.
Mr.. Dominik says.
"A short time ago l went to the
laboratory OF DR.. Eugene Erywein,
and this gentleman showed me a large
glass case which was filled with
shelves like a bookcase; on the
shelves ! saw a large number of fish
OF every variety. There were fat
carp and pike, trout and bass, and
other watery d~enizens, and they were
all well and happy-they moved their
gills and fins exactly as II they were
in the water, although they had not
felt this element for 80 hours. The
manner In which this was accom-
plished was soon explained to me-"
Mr.. Dominik says that the floor Of
the case was cove-st with a thick
layer Of damp css.lit. stis kept the
air In the receptacle r4uist, and the
gills Of the fish in consequence never
became cry. But further investiga-
ton showed that the air In the box
was not air at all, but pure oxygen;
beside the case there was a large
steel cylinder filled with oxygen. A
tube led from the cylinder to the base
Of q jar filed with water, and an
other tube led from the neck Of the
jar into the box containing the fish.
Says the writer:
"As | watched the apparatus, / saw
the oxygen bubble through the water
Of the jar, and then, after being sAt.
urated with moisture, pass into the
use But the oxygen In the case Wa
not stagnant; there was . pipe at ono

Jets of Water Dug Out a Sort of Ditch

covering and stripping the wreck of
as much armament as possible. The
hull lay IN one side. with the keel
on a horizontal, and the first steps
were to turn the ship over and bring
it on its keel. This was done with
jets of water forced under one size,
which dug out a sort of ditch into
which the hull gradually slid until at
last it was in a vertical position. The
big guns were then hoisted. Usual
methods of closing the holes failed
and a shell or outer vessel ~inclosing
the wreck had to be constructed to
completely envelop it. Three large
pumps, built in Japan for the special
purpose and capable of pumping $500
tons of water per hour, were installed
on big floats over the wreck and CON
nected to auxiliary vessels for steam
supply. On August s, 1906, an UNI
usually high tide was running and the
effort was made. In a short time the
hull had reached the surface and re-
pairs were made in hull and machin-
cry which permitted the extraordinary
feat of sailing to a Japanese port un-
der its own steam and power.
In the work were engaged, in addi-
ton to the officers and divers, about
800 Japanese naval mechanics and as
many Korean helpers. The cost, in
Guiding the three big pumps, was
about $500, 900. Had The same meth
DDS been adopted. suggests Popular
Mechanics, it would seem that the rails
ing of the Maine would have been a
task easy in comparison to the recov-
cry Of the Varyag.

CATARRHDg4s1rososDDn

CatarIh Is lot merely an inflammation Of the tissues of the head and

cate; it is a blood disease in which the entire circulation and the greater
part OF thesystem are involved. Catarrh Is due to the presence of an excess
OF uric acid in the blood. The Liver, Kidneys and Bowels frequently be-
come torpid and dull in their action and instead of carrying off the refuse
and waste OF the body, leave it to SOU. and form uric acid II the system.
This is taken up by the blood and through its circulation distributed to all

time to try to cure Catarrh with sprays,

CHARLESTON, Sept. 26.-Many peo-
pie are taking advantage Of the auto
mobile trips through Charleston, Vine
land and Charleston Heights. which
have been inaugurated by E. H. Libby
for the purpose of showing the coun-
try.
While many local residents will be
found making these trips, great ma
jority of those going on the daily ride
will be found to be visitors from out
side points, who have been interested
| in the locality and it's advantages
through a systematic campaign of adj
vertising.
Fully Is per cent of the visitors who
viewed this fertile section during the
month of August were persons that
had been communicated with and who
had received information of the place
through advertising. During Septem-
Der, to date, fully II per cent of the
visitors from abroad were of class
that had been induced by advertising
to visit the country.
] When it is considered that great
many local people are to be found in
each party visiting these interesting
points, the percent of outside visitors
is very large, and speaks well for the
advertising matter which goes abroad
and also for the efforts of the press
which daily herald the advantages OF
the country.
