II this Tourist Business is worth

II il isn't worth digging down deep

The Business Mems Association has
proposed a fund OF $1,000 with which
TO organize and go after this business
They say this can only be raised by
big subscriptions-s100 and better.
Already many have subscribed 800
and some $500 and $500. Almost
81 900 has been raised About $500
more must be raised-and the big ones
all in.

Deafness Can not be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be de-
stroyed forever; nine cases out OF ten
are caused by Catarrh, which is moth
ing but an infamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.

Titanium chloride reduced with So
dium, by the method of Nilsson and
Peterson, Yields pure titanum as a
metal resembling polished steel. 1t is
brittle when cold, but at low red heat
can be forged like iron. Though very
hard, it can be shaped with a file.
A flying fly in an empty dinner pail
increased the weight, even though It
does not touch the pail, according 70 the
novel discovery reported at Frankfort by
Boeninger, German engineer An
empty cylinder having a cover at top and
bottom was suspended from the pan of
balance. When fly was placed on the
wall inside the weight was correspond
ingly increased, but when the fly left
the side of the cylinder, flying into the
interior, the balance was not affected.
There was no change when either the
top lid or the bottom one was removed,
the nys weight being still recorded,
although it was flying inside. When
both we're removed, however, the balance
was disturbed, and only the weight of
the cylinder was recorded. With the
upper lid on and the lower one off the
flying tlv near the top of the cylinder
was weighed exactly as If suspended
from the lid No clear explanation
seems to have been reached but it is
suggested that the air acts like a
stretched spring made to vibrate, and
that model illustrating the phenomena
could be made.
The success of electric smelling is
indicated by its rapid adoption. A Ger
man authority counts up ia electric
furnaces that are at work making steel,
and his list is incomplete, some i'm
portant omissions having been pointed
out. OF those enumerated, II are arc
furnaces, 2 generate heat by arc and
resistance combined, and IS are in
ducton furnaces. There are also some
pig iron smelling furnaces, Norway and
Sweden having 2 or 3. OF the steel
furnaces, are at work in England, and
number in America, but the great ma
jority are in France and Germany.
Most of the furnaces are of small capa-
city TO S tons. They are employed
chiefly on high h-class steels for specia
purposes, but fair proportion are
working on ordinary steel, such as
structural steel, castings, and railway
ties, rails, etc.
The blueness of the sky is attributed
by Lord Raleigh to the dispersal of light
by small particles, which he supposes to
be chiefly by actual molecules of the
air, instead of dust, water vapor etc.
He believes that Springs theory of
absorption by chemical matter is dis
proved by the red-instead of blue--of
the setting sun.

To constitute Intoxicating liquors a special

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Repre-

gress assembled, That all fermened distilled,

The purpose and scope of the above bill will be readily
