waterproofina Matches.

Perhaps some of your readers would
be interested to know that I have
found simple, inexpensive way to
waterproof matches. Into some melted
parafin, care being taken that it was
as cool as possible, dipped few or
binary parlor matches. After with:
drawing them and allowing them to
cool it was found that they scratched
almost as easily as before being coated
with the wax. Several were held un.
der water for six or seven hours, and
all of them lighted as easily as be.
fore immersion. When the match is
scratched the paraf6n is first rubbed of
and the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing iszrequired to light
them than the ordinary match, it
would be practically impossible to set
them on fire by accidental dropping

The Elusive chuckwalla.

The chuckwalla Is one Of the most
interesting of the creatures to be
found in southern CALIFORNIA; great
desert. The chuckwalla seeks to es-
cape his adversary by crawling into
crevice of q rock SO narrow that it
seems impossible to get him out. But
the Indians have learned all his tricks
and how to circumvent them To the
desert aborigine the chuckwalla is al
Turing. He feasts on the chuckwalla;
hence he grows wise as to It's habits.
He takes piece Of strong wire or a
bent twig, and, poking it into the crew
ice, he taps the chuck walla on the end
of the nose. In moment the angered
reptile exhales kind Of hiss, the
noise being made by rapid expulsion
of the breath. AS he thus exhales he
loses his hold on the rocks, and in a
moment the Indian pulls on his tail.
As speedily as fash Of lightning the
chuckwalla inhales again and tightens
himself in his recess. Another tap on
his nose and then exhalation; another
pull, another exhalation-so it goes I'M
til at last the Indian has him. in hand.
Then he cooks him.-Suburban Life.

Not "Lost In London"

The confession of the provost OF the
Great St. Bernard hospice that he al
most got lost in London and found It
more bewildering than his own Alps
recalls to the London Chronicle re-
markable feat of the great guide Mel
chior Anderegg Of Meiringen. He had
never seen larger town than Berne
when he visited London, and when
two famous climbers, Leslie Stephen
and T. w. Hinchliff, met him at Lon
don Bridge station and walked with
him thence to Lincoln's Inn Fields
there was thick London fog. Never
theless when day or two later the
three were at the same station, return
ing from a trip to Woolwich, Mr..
Hinchliff confidently said, Nov, Mel
chior, you will lead us back home"

Depth at Which Miner. Can Work.

Below fifty feet the temperature
rises in the proportion Of one degree
for every sixty-five feet Of depth ex-
cept where currents of water carry
the heat away. The result is that at a
depth Of about 1000 feet we reach a.
temperature of 90 degrees, or blood
heat. This renders it exceedingly diff:
ficult to work coal pits below that
depth. This is the reason that Great
Britain's coal commission decided that
mines are not workable below 1000
feet.
The thickness Of the solid rocks
building up the crust Of the earth is at
least thirty to forty miles. At that
depth the heat is such as would reduce
everything on the surface of the earth
to liquid. But the pressure Of the over
lying rocks Is so great that until the
relation Of the heat to the pressure is
known it cannot be said whether the
earth at that depth is fluid or solid

CAUSES 95 PER CENT
OF DISEASES
Advice Concerning Stomach Troubles
and How to Remedy ~
Them. ~

Do not.neglect indigestion which
leads to all sorts of ills and com
plications. An eminent doctor
once said that ninety-five per cent
of all the ills of the human body
have their origin in a disorded
stomach.
A physician who made spe-
cialty of stomach troubles, particu-
larly dyspepsia, after years of
study, perfected the formula from
which Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets
are made.
Our experience with Rexall Dys-
pepsia Tablets leads us to believe
them to be the greatest remedy
known for the relief OF acute
ind gestion and chronic dyspepsia
Their ingredients are soothing and
healing to the inAamed mem
branes of the stomach. They are
rich in pepsin, one of the greatest
digestive aids known to medicine.
The relief they afford is almost
Immediate. Their use with per-
sistency and regularity for short
time brings about a cessation of
the pains caused by stomach dis
orders.
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets will
inusre healthy appetite, aid diges-
ton and promote nutrition. AS
evidence of our sincere faith in
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, we ask
you to try them at our risk. If
they do not give you entire satisfac-
ton, we will return you the money
you paid US for them, without
question or formality. They come
in three sizes, prices IS cents, 50
cents and 81 90. Remember you
can obtain them only at our
store, The Rexall Store. Bar
