filtered oft through the kidneys.
When, however, the kidneys become

forming uric acid which destroys ths

of the blood and leave it weak ant

THE WORLDS TELEPHONES.
Very Nearly Three Out of Four oi
 Them Are In America.

From the New York Sun.
 Of 9,5O0, ,000 telephones in the world 700O. 900 are in America, 100000 in Europe and the other 500, 900 scattered over the remainder of the planets sur face. Commenting on these recent esti- mates and their probable correctness, the National Telephone Journal of Lon don says:
 "The reason why Europe cuts so poor a figure in comparison with Amer lea is that four or i've of the most civi- lized and populous countries are extra ordinarily backward in telephone de- velopment. France, Austria, Hungary, Belgium, Holland and Italy-in the first four of which the telephone is entirely in the hands of the gOvernment-may be instanced. In the whole of France there are less than 100000 stations, and in Austria and Hungary combined there are actually fewer telephones than in the city of Chicago.
 Ancient cities of universal renown, counting 400. 900 or 500,000 inhabitants. and moreover of greater commercial importance, such as Lyons, Marseilles, Naples, Antwerp and Prague, are far behind American towns with 50,000 to 100, 1000 inhabitants, such as Peoria, St. Joseph, Dayton and Norfolk, Va, which few Europeans have ever heard of; while Vienna, with population of nearly 100000, has not so many sta tions as San Francisco, with 350,000 souls. If the countries of central and western Europe were as well devel- oped ,telephonically as even Great Br1- tain and Germany, to say nothing of Scandinavia, the comparison with America would be vastly more fatter- ing
