Echoes From Opelousas.


After reading of so many people in
our town who have been cured by Doan' S
Kidney Pills, the question naturally
arises: us this medicine equally sue
cessfuI in our neighboring towns?" The
generous statement of this Opelousas
resident leaves no room for doubt on
this point.
Mrs. 7. C. Cochere, Landry ST., Ope-
lousas, La, says: "A member of my
family received splendid results from
Doan's Kidney Pills. He was troubled
for some time by irregular action of the
kidneys, accompanied by pain in his
back. These troubles, l believe, were
brought on by hard work and heavy
lifting. The use of three boxes OF
Doan's Kidney Pills was SO effective
that he was given a very high opinion
of this remedy. He was relieved Of the
pains in his back and his kidneys were
restored to their normal condition. .

MOVING PICTURES IN LIGHT
Trick Is Simple and Consists Merely
Of Preventing Sun From Shining
Directly on Screen.

Stereopticon pictures either fixed or
moving for use in ordinary daylight
or In brightly lighted room are now
made in France. The trick Il simple
and consists merely of some device to
keep the light from shining directly
on the Green on which the picture Is
shown. In the Cinema palace. Paris.
t is Is effected by arranging heavy cur
tains around the screen at proper po
s1tions and distances. The lantern,
for protection. is at the opposite end
OF the hail, as Is now usual. In an
other device the pictures are thrown
on a sheet of ground glass forming one
end Of 4 large black box, whose OPP
posite end Is open to view. In this
case the lantern is not in the same
room with the spectators, and the pic
ture resembles that seen on looking
at the ground glass of an ordinary pho
Geographic camera AS the screen in
both these cases Is sheltered from the
Idiffused light of the theater or hall. 1t
is not necessary to extinguish or low
er the lamps, although, of course, these
should not be brilliant enough to daz-
zle the eyes. In describing these full
daylight" devices it has been wrongly
stated by some writer's that they de-
pend on special brilliancy in the lam
tern or on some arrangement OF re-
Electors. This is incorrect The only
things necessary are to keep the light
away from the screen and out of the
spectators eyes.

MAKE SOLID GOLD CASTINGS
Dentists Have Clever Method OF Sc

Free from All Blowhoes.

a(By ALBERT F. BISHOP. in the Scien-

Dentists have very clever method
of making solid gold castings. A train
,of gears is employed, which revolves

arms. The outer end Of one arm has
an Enclosure where the little mold Is
placed. while the other arm carries a
counterbalance. Just in front OF the
mold is fireclay block, followed to
receive the gold which is melted with
the blowpipe. The gearing Is rapidly
worked by hand, revolving the melted
.goll, which Is forced very quickly into
the mold. Owing to centrifugal force.
