The Ascot Course.

THE famous race track at Ascot, in
England, was planned by Queen
Anne, more than 200 years ago. and ever
since 1t has enjoyed the favor Of the
rulers of Great Britain. 1t was in the
summer of I'LL that, as her majesty was
driving across Ascot Heath. Anne was
struck by its fitness for her favorite
sport. Then and there she ordered
round heat" to be prepared and offered
a plate as prize. THIS round heat" was
duly made, and Anne herself opened the
racing history of Ascot by being present
at the first meet.
To this day a great feature at Ascot
Is the royal progress" meaning the I'M
posing arrival Of the king and the queen.
with outriders and with trappings Of
great brilliance. AS prince regent, George
~ instituted the royal procession, riding
on to the course up the new mile in
coach and four with splendid retinue
and attended by the master of the royal
bloodhounds. This officer had supreme
control of the course and was senior
steward until the abolition Of the royal
pack.
Much of the present distinction pertain
ing to Ascot is due to the never-failing
interest which the late Edward, both as
Prince Of Wales and king, took in its well
fare. AS prince he was a constant pa
tron of the royal race meeting, and his
marriage, in March. 1863 lent additional
interest to the procession at Ascot that
year.

~HINA for centuries has been the
greatest poultry producing nation.
OF the millions that throng that
vast country it is said that there are
few, indeed, who do not in the course
of a year consume something in the way
of poultry-chickens or ducks or geese
and, consequently, a vast quantity Of
eggs. Indeed, for a considerable part of
the population poultry is the only animal
food. Ducks are picked. dried. canned
and otherwise preserved and shipped to
many parts of the world for the use of
Chinese there resident. Eggs of all kinds
are used fresh and are cured by bury
ing in clay and lime until they acquire
something of the quality of cheese. They
are deemed by the Chinese to be great
luxury.
Few families in China do not own
chickens. even in the large cities. Ducks
are raised in immense quantities along

1t must not be supposed that when you
see these circles OF heavy metal floating
in the air the attraction of gravity Is
overcome. NJ Bachelet makes no such
claim. Nm fact. he takes pains to demon
strate by another experiment that the
weight of an object lifted by the current
chimes, already referred to, are used to
show this.
In each scale tray a weight Of six
pounds is placed. which registers on the
dial of the separate machines. The scale
trays are placed one below the other.
The mystic stream Is turned into the
weight in the lower scale tray and 1t lifts
the weight above it clear of the weigh
ing machine, so that the dial instead OF
marking six pounds indicates zero. The
dial of the other weighing machine now
registers twelve pounds. proving that the
drag of the upper piece OF metal. sus-
pended in the air, has not been d1ssipated,
but only transferred to the repeillng me-
dunn. All of which is very illuminating.
AS the concluding one of these prelimi-
nary experiments the musical bells are
brought into play. Beneath each bell-all
of them are tuned to different keys-is an
open glass tube holding ring OF alumni
mum. The tubes rest on repulslon spools
controlled from the sWltCHuOdTQ anu al

buttons on the board, the current drives

THERE'S NO SENSE
IN TAKING CALOMEI.

DodSonS Liver Tone VIII fix up
your liver safely and won't "knock
you out" day. A man feels very
little like working and achild don't
want to go to school when bilious or
constipated. If you try calomel to
cure you, the chances are that you
will be so weakened by it's after-eff-
ects that you will belaid up for two or
three days more. So we say, "Don't
take Calomel!" You can get perfect
remedy to take the place of Calomel
at Jno. L. Jackson's drug store OF
Hawkins Pharmacy that is guaran-
teed to relieve constipation and liven
up the liver just as quickly as Gallo
mel, but without any of the bad after
effects of calomel. The name of this
medicine is Dodson's Liver Tone. 1t
is a pleasant tasting vegetable tonic
that mildly stimulates the liver and
causes it OF work just right without
any danger of salvation. If it doesn't
fully satisfy you, you may have your
money back from the store where you
bought Dodson's.

The Largest scrapheap.

Various foreign governments, ac-
cording to reports that have been. re-
ceived in Wall Street of late, are ar
ranging or contemplating bond issues
that aggregate one billion and n half
dollars. The list begins with Russia,
which wants half billion, and ends
with Argentina, which can get along
with sixteen millions. Pretty nearly
two-thirds of the total is for military
purposes.
A bulletin recently published by the

the aggregate Indebtedness of all ma

two and half billiondollars in 1900;
eight and a half billions in 1850; thir-
