Old Time Smallpox Cure.

To cure smallpox was apparently a
very simple matter in the good old
times. John Of Gaddesden, court doc
tor to Edward H.. has recorded that
he got rid of the disease by the simple
expedient of wrapping his patients In
red cloth.
s"Let scarlet red be taken," he says.
''and let him who is suffering small
pox be entirely wrapped in it or in
some other red cloth. I did this when
the son of the illustrious king Of Eng
land suffered from smallpox. took
care that all about his bed should be
red, and that cure succeeded very
well."-LondOn Chronicle.

three spaces vacant for undiscovered
elements to make his table true.
Neither did he hesitate to predict
the properties which these elements
should possess when discovered. 1t
was as if an astrolOger should inform

Many insects have some means Of
defense from their natural enemies.
none of which is more curious than
that Of a small beetle. which, when
closely pursued, discharges puff of
poisonous vapor with distinct detor-

this aids the diminutive gunner In his
escape, mainly, in all probability. by
startling his pursuer and causing him
to abandon the chase. From this
peculiar requirement. this little fellow
is known as the bombardier beetle.
