Her scream brought the foreman l.. M. Giligan who instantly shut off the pow CT and the shafting promptly came 10 stand-still. Miss Landlna tainted but was coon brought to consciousness. The heat burned the strands of hair away so that the full length was not wound and thus injury to her head was averted.

After spending a delightful time around the grove and shore and visiting the art gallery for souvenirs of the company the shower came up and they prepared to start for home, some of the party boarded the car and went on as far as Woodmont.

rather. elaborate nature. But there
changes in the moistness of the air
may be shown, some Of them exceed
ingly easy to arrange. Perhaps the
simplest form of all, known to every
housewife in the coast towns, is the
suspended piece of seaweed. Any kind
of the common brown algae answers
the purpose admirably. A small bunch
tied together and hung up on wall
shows the excessive humidity in the
atmosphere which often precedes rain
by becoming damp and flabby.
A very ingenious contrivance Is the
old-fashioned weather house." largely
made in Switzerland. 1t is arranged
American, that two figures act in re-
sponse to the twisting of piece of
catgut. The material, supported by a
wire, controls the movements of lit
tie platform on either end of which
is placed a model. Excessive moisture
in the air causes the catgut to twist,
and turn the platform round, so that
the man emerges from one of the
doors in the front of the house. Re-
verse conditions of the atmosphere
bring about the contraction Of the cat
gut, and the platform swings back,
thus bringing the figure of the woman
into prominence at her particular
door. The making of weather house
is quite a simple affair and how to set
about the construction may be judged
from the picture giving a peep be-
hind the scenes" If properly made
the contrivance is a fairly reliable
weather prophet.

What is Pe-ru-na.

Are we claiming too much for PerunA
when we claim it to be an effective
remedy for chronic catarrhf Have we
abundant proof that Peruna Is in real
ity such catarrh remedy? Let us see
what the United States Dispensatory
says of the principal ingredients of
Peruna.
Take, for instance, the ingredient
hydrastis canadensis, or golden seal.
The United States Dispensatory says
of this her bal remedy, that 1t is largely
employed in the treatment of depraved
mucous membranes lining various
organs of the human body.
Another ingredient of Peruna, cory
dalis formosa, is classed in the United
States Dispensatory as tonic.
Cedron seeds Is another ingredient of
Peruna. The United States DISPENSE
tory says of the action OF cedron that
It Is used as bitter tonic and in the
treatment of dysentery, and in inter-
mittent diseases as substitute for
quinine.

monials of what the people think of Pc
runa as a catarrh remedy. The best
evidence is the testimony Of those who

G Gramophone.
NJ Four-sided revolving mirror.
Screen upon which records are re-
ceived.
H Horn of gramophone.
SB Sound board.
r Ray from projecting lantern focused
on to vibrating mirror.
RI Same ray reflected on to revolving
mirror.
Many indeed have been the steps
towards perfection of the gramophone
since it's invention by Mr.. Emile Ber-
liner 21 years ago. Today it is no longer
curious bit of scientific apparatus,
of the nature of toy, but the focus of
great and ever-increasing industry
In which thousands of persons are con-
cerned.
The fundamental principle of the in
strument is well known. The sound
waves induced in the air by any source
of sound are allowed to impinge upon
delicately held diaphragm, which VI
brates under this onset of the sound
waves. The diaphragm vibrations
are next made to leave an inscribed
record on a suitable medium, and this
record is used to reproduce the origi-
nal sounds and so convey them to the
ear.
A recent invention by Mr.. G. Bow
ron constitutes an interesting acces-
sorry to the gramophone or phono-
graph. 1t provides, in fact, means
of seeing the sound-waves, or oscilla-
tions, which a record is making in the
course of its work, whether these pro-
ceed from the voice, piano or orches-
ira.
A vibrating mirror (about the size
of a three-penny-bit) and its accom-
panying mechanism are made at
tachable to a gramophone sound-box,
it's special function being to visualise
the sound-waves or oscillations which
are produced as the result of the move
ments of the stylus in the grooves of
the record disc. When beam of light
from a suitably placed projecting
lantern is allowed to fall upon the lit
tie mirror it is reflected back along
box mirror of the four-sided type is in
terposed. Once again the beam is di-
verted, but this time on to white
screen. The prime result of all this
transfer of rays is the appearance on
the screen of an enlarged luminous
curve, or "oscillograph," which repro
duces the changing instrumental
sounds in the fashion shown in the
left-hand corner of our diagram (S).

Too Much Afraid of Dirt,

1t is quite true that Cleanliness is
next to godliness," but in this day Of
fads and scientific frills the question
is whether we are not getting alto
gether too afraid of little dirt. Dirt
has been defined as matter in the
wrong place, and hygiene is the
science of keeping it in the right
place. But We are inclined to think
that we are all little bit too much
up in the air on the matter of cleanli-
ness; little too afraid of coming in
contact with the clean-smelling, kind
ly earth, and are in danger of becom.
