cleanliness, as the opinions of these three
eminent men 60 to show The day of fake
tones, reviewers, growers and inyigorators
is rapidly coming to an end, The public
has been defrauded SO long that the time
is here when nothing but worthy things will
find sale. Falling hair, itching scalp and
dandruff cannot be cured by fakes and
frauds. The only sure way to benefit the
hair and scalp is to keep them clean and
free from dust and disease germs. For
this purpose Birts Head Wash is most
highly recommended because it is made Of
Refined Soap, White of Eggs, Cochin
Cocoanut Oil, Glyeerin and Salicylic Acid.
Any doctor or hair specialist will tell you
there are no better things known than these
for cleaning the lair and scalp. Birt's
Head Wash makes the hair clean, gives it
a glossy lustre and restores it to vgor-
Gus, healthful condition. 1t removes dan
druff, dirt and disease germs from the
scalp, opens up the pores, and gives the hair
a chance to grow in natural way. Birt's
Head Wash is not a secret thing, but a
standard preparation that careful, refined
people can use with safety because they
know exactly what it is made Of 1t is
something you can use on childs head
Just as we'll as your own. 1t represents
the best thought in the field of science in
the matter of treating the hair and scalp.

Among the, many curiosities brought
ing exhibited to his friends is beau-
tiful specimen Of the, Nautilus or
Argonaut, which he was fortunate
enough to find on the Florida coast
about Is miles south of Palm Beach.
Hunting for rare shells is favorite
pastime among the many tourists at
the various winter resorts and the
miles and miles of fine beaches are
constantly being watched for desirable
specimens The one great prize
always looked for but seldom found. 1t
would seem, is the beautiful and deli
cate Nautilus.
Some idea of their variety can be
gained from the fact that the speci-
men found by. Mr.. Noble was the only
one found for two years in that sec
ton of the Florida east coast.
The Argonaut was so named for one
of the heroes who accompanied Jason
in the ship Argo when he sailed on his
mythic voyage in quest of the golden
fleece. Aristotle supposed that 1t
floated on the sea with the Gaacava
side up, the animal holding out its
arms after the manner Of sails to
catch the breeze.
Poets have ever since repeated the
fable but naturalists have since dis
covered that when the Argonaut
floats on the Surface OF the water the
sail shaped arms are held close to the
sides of the delicate and paper-like
shell and when the animal crawls on
the bottom the so called boat is re-
versed like the shell of a snail.
Mr.. Noble would take pleasure in
showing the specimen to any persons
who may be interested.

Governors Island.

The army engineers hope to finish the
project for the enlargement of Gov
ernors Island, N. Y, next year. The
plan originally proposed the addition of
about 50 acres to the area of the island
by inclosing with bulkhead part of
the shoal southwest of the island and
filing the Enclosure. The estimate for
the work was 81 100000. which included
the building of a wharf and several
necessary buildings and dredging in
front of the wharf to depth of &c feet.
Since the act of 1901 providing for such
work the area to be added has been in
creased by 20 acres, and the land be-
comes a valuable addition to the army
post on the island. All the work is
done with the exception of filling up
about IS acres and closing gap in the
seawaTl about $50 feet long.-Army
and Navy Register.
