LAT first noticed small eruptions on
my face. The trouble began as rash.
It looked like red pimples. In a few
days they spread to my arms and back.
They itched and burned SO badly that
I scratched them and Of course the re-
suit was blood and matter. The erup-
tons festered, broke, opened and dried
up, leaving the skin dry and scaly. l
spent many sleepless nights, my back,
arms and face burning and itching;
sleep was purely and simply out Of
the question. The trouble also caused
Disagreement. My clothing irritated
the breaking out.
by this time had used several
wellknown remedies without success.
The trouble continued. Then began
to- use the sample Of Cuticura Soap
and Ointment. Within seven or eight
days I noticed gratifying results. I
purchased a full-sized cake of Cuti-
cura Soap and a box of Cuticura ONT
ment and in about eighteen or twenty
days my cure was complete" (Signed)

Earth az a Thermometer.

The general rate of increase in the
temperature OF the earth's crust Is
about one degree Fahrenheit for every
IS feet of descent. If this rate were
invariable scale might be marked
on the wall Of mine shaft which
would indicate the temperature like
the graduations Of thermometer. In
fact, however, the rate varies in diff
ferent regions, and Muhlberg and
Konigsberger have suggested that
these variations may be of advantage
in prognosticating the existence Of
deep deposits OF coal and oil, and pos.
sibly Of other valuable minerals. The
presence Of such deposits causes an
abnormal rise of temperature above
them; but no deductions concerning
their presence can be drawn from bore
holes less than 600 feet in depth

Schooner Reaches . California Port
With tho BIubber Dangling From

San Francisco, Cal.-Of all fish
yarns brought to this port recently,
the one. brought in by the coasting
schooner James H. Bruce is q prize
winner. Moreover, it is true. and
there is further evidence than the
mere word OF the jolly sea dogs that
their ship ran into and killed huge
whale. Portions Of the carcass Of the
unfortunate mammal were still visible
on the forecastle and headgear Of the
schooner when she came in the other
day. Huge pieces Of blubber dangled
from the stays and parts Of the fore
rigging. 80

that the strange incident occurred the

TANNER was sailing along at lively
clip, with fresh breeze astern. when
suddenly shock ran through the YES
sell. The impact was not sharp or
heavy enough to have been caused
by collision with another craft, and
the crew was beginning to believe
that 1t had paused over a submarine
disturbance, when the lookout came
dashing aft over the deck Load to give
them the surprising news that the
ship had struck whale.
He must have been sleeping" said

INVENTOR OF THE TELEPHONE
Claim to Honor Has Been, and Is Like
Iy to Continue, a Matter Of
Discussion. 49,. r.

Priority in the invention of the tele-
phone is a matter of discussion. The
principle Of the transmission Of sound
vibrations mechanically for short dis
tances was known for a long time be-
fore the electric principle was applied.
The discovery, by DR.. G.. g. Page of
Salem, Mass, in 1897 of the sound giv-
en- out by an electric magnet at the In.
slant Of the closing or breaking OF the
circuit and OF the musical note pro.
duced by rapidly revolving the arma'
ture of an electro-magnet in front Of
the poles were made the basis Of ex-
perimerts by many Investigators and
were important features Of early at
tempts made to transmit sound and
speech electrically. The theory that
sounds might be made to vibrate a
metal plate which would open and
close an electric circuit and that a
similar plate at a receiving station
would be acted on electromagnetically
and thus give out as many pulsations
as there were breaks In the current
was advanced by a French writer as
early as 1854. Alexander Graham Bell,
an American by adoption, though
born In Marlborough. Scotland. In
1847, is the inventor of the speaking
telephone. for which he was granted
patents in 1876. An imperfect form
OF his telephone was exhibited at the
Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia
in 1876. Before Bells practical work
Refs and number Of European sci.
entists had evolved a primitive cleo
trio telephone which depended upon
the interruption, of the electric current
rather than upon its variation in
strength to correspond with the vibra-
tons Of the transmitter. X 49,

ROYALTY WELCOMES THE .
AMERICAN SETTLER
HIS ROYAL. HIGHNEss, THE DUKE
OF cONNAUGHT, WELCOMES
AMERICANS TO CANADA.

| 1t was happy speech, that on that
beautiful October day, the Duke of
Connaught, Governor-General Of Can.
ada, made at Macleod, Alberta. It
was an opportune speech, heartful
and resonant with good fellowship.
And, as it was specially intended for
American ears, the audience. COM
prised largely Of SO many American
settlers in Canada, the time and place
could not have been better chosen.
1t was in reply to an address of well
come rendered to him at the pretty
city OF Macleod. with the foothills of
the Rockies as a setting, and the
great wheat fields between, and in
fact all around the place as the fore
ground, that His Highness, true to the
best interests of the country and to
those of the Americans who choose
to make Canada their home, said in
part: sr
II am we'll aware that among those
whom I am now addressing, there are
very great proportion who were not
born under the British flag. Most Of
these will have realized by now that
residence under that flag implies no
disabilities. All we ask is that the
laws of Canada should be obeyed.
with this provision every one Is
free to come and 60, to marry, to live
and to die as seems best to him, and
as it pleases Providence. ...
I'VE bring no pressure to bear on
anyone to adopt the Canadian nation
atty, for we do not value citizenship
which is obtained under compulsion.
Our American cousins are welcome
from over the border. Thrice we vel
come our Canadian and British broth
ers, who return to the Union Jack, aft
er living under the Stars and Stripes.
History is repeating itself. For
many years hundreds of young Brit.
ishers have sought fortune in the
western States. Time has brought
about a change, and the tide has set
in the other direction, bringing across
the frontier numbers of our neighbors
to whom we are glad to return hos
pitalities
"One OF the chief dispensers of such
hospitality in proportion to its poppy
latlOn mas, as we nave salu, cnaneeo
its character from an important cat
tie town to a thriving wheat producing
area &
what it has lost from the pictur-
esque point of view, it has gained in
the material side, and wish. In COM
clusion, to express the hope that the
prosperity which has evinced itself
here for the past ten years, may con-
tinue undated In the future"
There is no reason why at a hun
dred places on this educative, instruct
i've and interesting trip Of His Royal
Highness he might not have express
ed himself in the same terms, and on
each occasion, addressed large gather
ings OF Americans who are now set
