and winter coughs.
Get from any druggist 21k ounces of
Pinex TOO cents worth J, pour it in . pint

limited in time. Even If the admins
tration had failed thus to act at the
outset of the war, the protests official
ly made both by the German emperor
and by the Belgian government to the
president as to alleged misconduct in
the prosecution of the war not only
gave him warrant for action but re-
quired him to act. Meanwhile, from
the moment when the war was de-
clared, it became inexcusable Of the
administration not to take immediate
steps to put the navy into efficient
shape. 1t is possible, not to justify,
but to explain the action of the adj
ministration in using the navy for the
sixteen months prior to this war in
such way as greatly to impair its
efficiency; for OF course when the
president selected Mr.. Daniels as Sec
rotary of the navy he showed, on the
supposition that he was not indiffer-
ent to Its welfare, an entire ignorance
of what that welfare demanded; and
therefore the failure to keep the navy
efficient may have been due to mere
Inability to exercise foresight. But
with war impending such failure to
exercise foresight became inexcusable.
None of the effective fighting craft
are OF any real use so far as Mexico
Is concerned. The navy should at
once have been assembled in north
ern waters, either in the Atlantic or
the Pacific, and Immediate steps taken
to bring it to the highest point OF
/ efficiency.

should be one Of sincere good will

MOLECULAR ATTRACTION.

That Is What Permits Needle to
Float Upon Water.
A steel needle laid carefully on a
still water surface will float. although
the weight Of steel or iron is greater
than that of an equal volume Of water.
Molecules Of liquids cohere, but with
8 force far less than in solids or viscid
substances. But the thin needle Of
metal gently placed horizontally on
water has not quite weight enough to
break the surface tension-that Is,
molecular attraction-of the water be-
low it.
Attraction Of molecules is q force
that exerts great influence in nature.
Thus this force draws particles OF wa
ter in fogs into drops of water which
are heavy enough 70 fall rs rain. Dew
is formation Of minute particles Of
water into drops at rest on surfaces.
The molecular attraction Of the
heavy liquid-mercury-is Intense. else
this heavy liquid could bot be drawn
by it into spheres or drops. Melted
lead forms into minute globes when let
fall in high shot towers.
There is great difference in the in
tensity Of molecular attraction, as may
be observed in alcohol. gasoline sui
phuric ether and similar limpid liquids
and oil. sirup, glycerin and other VS.
cous liquids.
Soap bubbles could not be blown in
alcohol or benzine, but they form read
fly in water And the molecules in the
thin films really attract with some
force. else the bubbles would burst be-
fore they become so large. The most
elaborate mathematics are required to
handle molecular forces, fit only for

TWO@GULF STREAMS.
Tho Ono of Air Is What Createo tho
Deserts Of the East.

Tho Ono OF Ar Is What CreaSeV ShS
Deserts Of the East.
The gulf stream. as every one knows,
is broad river Of warm water which
starts in the gulf Of Mexico, wanders
across the cold Atlantic ocean and
bumps into the British isles, giving
them Il warm climate and no end Of fog
and rain. But few people know that In
the atmosphere above there is second
gulf stream Of warm, moist air.
This slow, damp breeze strikes the
British isles and does not carom of
like the gulf stream. but continues over
Europe. As it passes over Sweden. Fin
lard and northern Russia these cold
lands chill the wind and cause it to
drop its moisture in the form Of rain.
The lakes and rivers Of these northern
countries are all supplied by the mois
ture taken up from the sulf stream.
The rotation Of the earth makes this
wind veer gradually to the southward
about the time it has given up the last
Of its moisture and warmth. AS L
mighty draft Of dry. cold air. the gulf
stream wind moves on across the plains
of Russia. AS it approaches the eqra-
tor the wind warns again. but becomes
ever drier.
At last. as it sweeps over Turkestan.
Arabia and Sahara. it evaporates like
q great sheet of blotting paper all water
It meets, forming the deserts Of Turke-
stan, Sahara and Arabia. Fortunately
this devastating wind now leaves the
continent. becomes the trade winds and
returns to its starting point at the gulf
Of Mexico.
Several somewhat visionary schemes
have been suggested for altering the
course Of the gulf stream. One Of the
immediate results Of any such change
would be the shifting Of the present
deserts to other parts Of the world

Formation Of Ice.

The cause assigned for the fact that
water freezes only for comparatively
small space at the surface Of rivers or
ponds Is thus explained. Scientists au-
thoritatively declare that water IS at
its heaviest when it reaches 40 degrees
F.-that IS, 8 degrees above freezing
point On a frosty night, as each top
layer Of water falls to 10 degrees II
sinks to the bottom. therefore the
whole pond has to drop to 40 degrees
before any Of it can freeze. At length
It Is all cooled to this point. and then
Ice begins to form. But Ice IS very
bad conductor of heat. therefore It
shuts of the freezing air from the
body Of warmer water underneath.
The thicker It gets the more perfectly
does It act as greatcoat and that Is
why even the Arctic ocean never
freezes beyond few feet in thickness.
