A Candle Experiment.

A very pretty effect may be produced
by causing candle 10 burn while al
most immersed in water In tumbler,
The experiment. which is simple, is
made In the following manner:
Insert nail--pot too heavy--in the
lower end of the short candle In order
to make that end heavier and place the
whole in glass containing enough wa
tire TO reach the upper edge of the can.
die without wetting the wick
At first thought nothing seems stran-
ger than to expect a candle to burn In
such situation. but 1t does burn, and
the reason Is simple enough. As the
candle burns 1t grows lighter and light
err and rises gradually as 1t diminishes
in length. SO that the lighted end al
ways remains above the surface of the
water
Moreover. the outside of the candle
being cool will melt much more slowly
than usual, and the fame will make a
little hallow In the center. This hol-
low place also helps In making the can.
die float and preserves the wick from
contact with the water Thus the can
die will continue to burn in its strange
candlestick until the wick Is consumed.

Constipation and Catarrh

lieve me? Well, whether you would be.
lieve me or not, it is the truth.
For many years | have been wrest'
ling with the problem of furnishing the
public an internal catarrh remedy. Pc
runa has been the remedy that | have
devised and it has certainly relieved
many thousand people, yes hundreds Of
thousands of people, Of chronic catarrh.
Constipation was my chief difficulty
in treating these cases. | often felt that
it would be better if a laxative ele-
rlent were added to Peruna. | feared
to do so, however, first because of the
number of catarrhal patients who needed
no laxative and second | was afraid of
making such radical change in rem
cdy that was already doing so WELL
Thus it was that continued to prescribe
with the Peruna bottle of Manalin
to those who needed a laxative. AT last,
under circumstances explained in my
booklet, | was constrained to add the,
laxative element to Peruna. This con-:
stitutes what is now known as the re-
vised Peruna.
Now those who take Peruna will, first,
find themselves promptly relieved of
their constipation. Second, the catarrh
will gradually disappear. And once the
catarrh is cured, the constipation leaves
permanently. Then if you follow the?
advice given in my book, you will never !
have to take pills any more. Cathartics
and laxatives you can ignore. You will
be permanently relieved of both your
catarrh and the constipation.
Peruna is for sale at all drug stores.

One side lines up about ten feet

DR.. ViIhjaImar Stefansson Ends
Four-Years Expedition
TELLS OF BLOND ESKIM0S
Believes They Descend From Scandina-
Wan Colony-Found an Ancient
Stone House in Victoria
Land

New York, Sept l7.--Dr. Vilhjalmar
Stefansson, the discoverer of new race
of men, the blond Eskimos, on the shore
of the Arctic ocean, arrived in New
York yesterday. Another mystery that
he came across in desolate wilds thought
never to have been penetrated by white
men before and one that is as bewilder-
ing as the secret of the Egyptian Shpinx
was the existence of an ancient stone
house in the southwest corner of Vic
toria Land.
The results and achievements of the
expedition exceed the fondest hopes of
the American Museum of Natural His
tory, which sent Mr. Stefansson to the
North. His chronological collections, made
in the region OF the mouth of the Cop
permine river, number more than $4,000
specimens. They are loaded on two
ships, the whaler Belvidere, due in San
Francisco in November, and a schoone.

They Are Used to Advantage by Fish
ermen In Cuban Waters.
In the neiGhborhood of Havana a
most peculiar method of securing tur-
ties is pursued. They train or at least
take advantage OF the instincts of a
certain species of fish called by tho
Spanish reve (meanlng reversed, be,
cause its back is usually taken for its
stomach.
1t has an oval plate attached to its
head. the surface Of which is traversed
by parallel ridges. BY this plate it can
firmly adhere to any solid body II may
choose The boats which go in quest
OF turtles each carry tub containing
a number OF these reeves.
When the sleeping turtles are seen
they are approached, and as soon as
they are judged near enough reve is
thrown into the sea. Upon perceiying
the turtle its instinct teaches 1t to
swim right toward 1t and fit itself
firmly upon the creature by means of
it's disk. Sooner would the reve allow
itself to be pulled to pieces than give
up its grin.

OF the fish. In which a string Is fas-
tened. allows the fisherman to pull In
