An Owl With a Lantern.

North Norfolk. England. is the hab-
itat OF a curious species OF owl that
carries n lantern about at night, ac.
cording to correspondents OF the Lon
don Times who have been observing
the bird. L. Digby Pigott. for instance,
writes that a pair OF birds carrying a
yellowish light so bright that when
first seen Ii was mistaken for bicycle
lamp by two different men at different
places have been flying about the fields.
A bailiff who had been watching one
of the birds assured Mr.. Plgott that
after moving about a wheat stack for
some time on very dark night the
bird fiew across the field and alighted
on tree, and the light 1t gave out was
so strong that the baillff could dis
tinctly see the outlines OF the branches
about the bird. Strange as the story
Is. 1t seems to be believed by persons
who are not easily deceived.

human ingenuity could suggest. the

To Purify
The Blood

The liver and kidneys must be en-
livened by DIR. w. A. Chase's Kid
ney and Liver Pills.
The blood not only carries nourish-
ment to the cells and tissues OF the
body, but also takes up the poisonous
waste material or ashes which re-
main from the fire of life.
These poisonous substances can on
ly be removed from the blood by the
liver and kidneys and this accounts
for the extraordinary success of DR..
A. w. Chase's Kidney and Liver
Pills as means OF purifying the
blood.
BY acting directly and specifically
on these organs this medicine en-
sures regular and healthful action
OF the bowels and thorough cleans
ing and invigorating of the whole di-
gestlve and excretory systems.
The blood is purified, digestion inn
proves, the vital organs resume their
various functions. bihousness, consti-
patton, liver complaint and kidney
trouble are overcome and rheuma-
tism, baclSaches and all pains and
aches disappear.

Iand certain, and none so reasonable

Ine steamship TO Be Butt.

No man can at this moment say when
the limit of size will be reached In the
building of ocean liners. Extremely
big and swift ships cannot be devel-
oped much beyond the present dimen-
sions and speed unless their owners
are willing to run them ut a loss for
the sake Of advertising their lines or
unless they are made commercially
profitable through government sub
sides. But ships OF extreme size and
moderate speed are possible OF con-
struction and even OF profitable opera
ton to an extent which would dwarf
anything now upon the seas. The
ocean greyhound 800 feet long is a
terrific consumer of fuel. The man.
moth of 1000 feet sauntering across
the Atlantic In eight days uses only Il
moderate amount by comparison. As
the coal question Is the chief restric-
ton upon size we may as well sit back
and watch the builders juggle with II
until the day arrives when II shall be
absolutely prohibltive upon further RI
valry. And by that time maybe we
shall have found some cheaper fuel
that will help us to build ship whose
bow Will be able to touch Sandy Hook
