Problem Battles Scientists.

There has been an offer of many
thousand dollars, standing for over $50
years, in the name of a great COM
pany in London, for anything that will
dissolve fogs by the penetration OF
created light. The money has never
been earned by any inventor yet. Fog
still persists, increasing the tax of
commerce in proportion as the vol
ume Of commerce multiplies. The
man who can clear the ship channel
Of New York harbor from fog, even
for a few hours at a time, will be
hailed as the wonder of the age.

he could count twenty-five points on one

A Big lob on Hand.

From no quarter in New York has
come any definite information that the
gas companies contemplate immediate
opposition to the decision of the United
States supreme court, which holds the
S0-cent law constitutional, therefore it
was accepted generally that the $4,000
600 deposited with the companies by
United States Commissioner Shields in
the last two years will be distributed
among consumers as soon as the clerical
machinery for such distribution can be
established On all hands it was admitted
that the task of Strengthening out the
100000 accounts Of individual consum-
ers, giving to each his proper share Of
the rebate fund, was one that would
require considerable time, and in the
end it is believed that very large frac-
ton of the 100000 will remain un-
claimed. What is to be done with that
is one of the several questions still to
be decided, probably in the courts. Dur
ing the litigation Judge Alton 3. Par
ker stated that probably not more than
one-half of all the consumers would ever
present claims. Commissioner Shields
said the payment of the 100000
would begin as soon as the official man
date was given by the court. That, he
said would be within a month.

Crust-MissiOnary's Wife Made
Perfect Cures by Cuticura.
For several years my husband was
a missionary in the Southwest. Every
one in that high and dry atmosphere
has more or less trouble with dandruff
and my daughters scalp became so en-
crusted with it that l was alarmed for
fear she would lose all her hair. After
trying various remedies, in desperation
I bought a cake Of Cuticura Soap and
a box of Cuticura Ointment. They left
the scalp beautifully clean and free
from dandruff and I am happy to say
that the Cuticura Remedies were a
complete success. l have also used
successfully the Cuticura Remedies for
so-called 'milk-crust' on baby's head.

Steel Bands Instead of Betting.

Steel bands are now used in Germany
in place of leather betting. On account
of their solidity, these bands are much
narrower than leather belts used for
the same loads, being about one-sixth of
the usual leather belt. The steel band
is not so heavy as leather, and it can
be very tightly adjusted, the distance
between the engine and the machine be-
ing a matter of little Importance. Care
full and repeated experiments have re
vealed the fact that the entire loss of
power does not exceed 1 per cent. Ow-
ing to the lightness of the belt, the in
fuence of centrifugal force is small and
allows of a much increased velocity.

Fisherman's Luck.

There was once a comedian who went
out with fishing party, and began to
suffer from thirst. One of the crowd
took pity on the sufferer and fastened a
bottle of beer to his fishing line while he
was on voyage of exploration.
When the actor returned he found his
line heavy, and started to haul in what
he thought was the biggest fish of the
day.
Gleeful over his changed luck, he
shouted to the captain:
