Americans are known as a dyspeD-

ease may be inferred from the multi
tude of sO-called medicines offered
as a remedy. They are often in tab

as palliatives of the immediate eff
fects of dyspepsia. The man who
used them may feel better. but is
surely getting worse. They do not
touch the real cause of the disease.

ing and identifying the lot on which
the church stands
The county commissioners recent
ly decided they had the authority to
go into the open market and enter
into contracts with private interests
for the labor Of the misdemeanOr
prisoners. The stewards of the
Methodist church decided they want
ed the church lot beautified, and
they made contract by which they
secured the county gang to do the
work, the pay for the work to be
5000. sNig
1t is interesting to note in this
connection that one of the stewards
of the church is also a prominent
convict lessee.

SHOOTING STARS LIGHT The HEAVENS

verified, into heat by its impact on
the target
The luminosity usually begins at
a height of rs miles from the sur
face of the earth, and ends about so
miles from the earth. This distance
is trayersed in a second. At the end
OF that second the intense heat has
dlsintegrated the star into an i'm
palpable ash powder, and the light
disappears.
Since these bodies are consumed
IN the air all that it is possible to
obtain is their ash. Prof. A. E. Won
NordenskOld of sweden thought that
it might be found in the polar SHOWS.
In Spitzenberg he melted a great
quantity of snow, and on filtering the
water he found minute globules Of
oxide and sulphide of iron ingredi-
ents of regular mete0rs that reach
the earth without being disinte-
grated
Add to Earth's Bulk.
The effect of meteors upon the
earth has been calculated with
scientific precision. Meteors add
continually to the mass of the earth,
an amount estimated as $4,000 tons
"a year. Thus it would take 500
100000 years for the deposit of
layer one inch thick on the earth's
surface. Meteors lengthen the year
by resisting the earth's passage
through the air, and by increasing
the bulk of the earth
The careful calculator adds to this
statement that it does not effect the
calendar very materially because the
combined effect hardly amounts to
more than one-thousandth of a sec
ond in 100000 years. Meteors
supply light to the earth. In one
year the light of all the meteors and
shooting stars equals the light from
the sun for One-tenth of a second.
During August nearly 40 per cent.
of all the meteors which fall during
the year reach the earth. While
passing through the center of the
Perseids the stars all appear to shoot
from one point in the heavens called
the radiant. This is the vanishing
point in the perspective of the heav-
ems and the stars are really running
parallel to each other through their
orbit
In the early morning more stars
may be observed AS the cluster of
Perseids is 100000 or 100000
miles across it takes the eIrth sew
eral days to make the distance.
1t is believed that the Perseids are
a part of the tail of the famous
comet of 1862.

Millions of Them Now Entering
the Worlds Atmosphere.
ADD TO THE EARTH'S WEIGHT

But It Takes Eight Hundred Mil
lions of Years to Increase the
Thickness of the Earth's Surface
One Inch.
The earth is passing through a sea
Of meteors known as the Perseids.
Tuesday Wednesday and Thursday
of last week the center of the path
of the meteors was crossed by the
earth, and the sky is full of shooting
stars The display will diminish
gradually until Aug p, when the
earth will pass out of the path.
The late Prof. T. A. Newton esti-
mated that the total number visible
to the eye which enter the earth's at
mosphere daily must be between 10
100000 and 100000, the average
distance between them being more
than 200 miles. Beside those visible
there is an immensely larger num-
Der, about 100,000,0OO daily, OBJ
servable only with a telescope.
During early August the daily
number of shooting stars which the
earth meets or overtakes in space
were many times multiplied At the
height of the phenomenon, Aug. 18th
and 18th, the heavens were full of
flying points of light.
Science has shown that the meteor
and the shooting star are the same
except in point of size. A meteor is
body which falls upon the earth
coming from outer space. Until they
reach the earth's atmosphere they
are Invisible, but as they enter it
they blaze forth and sometimes ex-
plode with a report which is heard
for thousands of miles. The pieces
Of strange minerals which fall from
them are called meteOrites, aerolites
or simply meteoric stones.
Shooting stars are so small that
friction with the atmosphere burns
us the little mass and dissipates its
ash through the upper atmosphere.
The meteOTs, or shooting stars
which belong to the Perseid group
are yellow and move with medium
velocity-that is medium velocity for
a meteor, between ten and fifteen
miles a second.
The meteOrs Of each group have
certain family Tesemblances The
LeOnid shower, which is seen about
November 18th, is very swift, and
of a blueish green tint, with vivid
trains.
The Andromedes, which comes
about November cath. are sluggish.
and of reddish hue They overtake
the earth and, therefore, are less
intensely heated, while the Leonids
meet the earth and come through
the atmosphere with double speed
Travel Thirty Miles a Second.
Shooting stars have ever been the
subject of intent observation and
much speculation among astrono-
mers and scientists. Ever since the
ancient religious superstitions con-
corning them have been discarded
modern science has discovered
some wonderful facts about them
The average rate of movement of the
shooting star has been calculated to
be 80 miles a second, which is about
$50 times faster than shell leaves
most powerful gun. The weight
varies from a couple of pounds to
two grains. 1t may appear impossi-
bic that such atoms should produce
the brilliant effects observed but
Prof. Herschel has calculated that a
single grain moving at the rate OF
80 miles a second represents a dyna-
mical energy of 55,675 foot-pounds
This energy is converted by the re-
sistance of the grosser air into heat
as the motion of a projectile is con

Short Suggestions.

Wilted vegetables should be soaked
in cold water for an hour or two be
fore they are cooked.
To avoid washing the molding board
lay over it a sheet Of heavy glazed
wrapping paper. If well Toured,
doughs are less apt to stick to it than
to the board.
As soon as a salt ham or tongue is
cooked remove it from the boiling wa
ter to a pan of cold water for a few
seconds This will loosen the skin,
which may be easily peeled off.
When you have a few tablespoonfuls
of jam or jelly left over it makes a
delicious addition to baked apples
dropping a teaspoonful into the core
of each apple before they 60 into the
oven.
Old newspapers may be used to pad
the ironing board just as well as an
old blanket, which cannot always be
spared, or the lining felt which comes
for such purposes, and is rather ex-
pensive.
If your pies run over either the
plates are not deep enough to hold the
juice or else there is not sufficient space
fer the steam to escape. Use a deep
agate plate and make a good opening
IN the upper crust.
To clean a rope line, place it in a
large pan of cold water, add a little
washing soda, a little soap, and bring
slowly to the boil; boil thirty minutes,
rinse it thoroughly in clean, cold wa
ter, stretch between hooks to dry.
To make pure baking powder of the
very best quality. take one pound Of
pure cream Of tartar, six ounces of
tartaric acid, one pint of -four; mix
we'll and sift not less than three times,
place in tin cans and use as you would
any other baking powder.
Never wash tea or coffee pots with
water in which there is soap. When
they become badly discolored fill with
cold water in which is dissolved a ia
blespOOnful Of powdered boraX and heat
slowly until the water boils. Rinse
thoroughly with hot water and dry.
Always dry on tie back Of tie range.
