pusb. BUT No Pull.


Sir Oliver Lodge claims that there Is
no such thing as pull applied to bodies
that Is. that an engine, for instance,
never pulls train. but really pushes
it. A little excursion into what he
means win readily convince the skep-
tical that he is right. Take this exam
pie: The coupling Of the engine ex-
tends behind that of the car following
and does actually shove it forward.
The reason it comes forward is be-
cause its parts do not separate that
Is, It has cohesion.
But the actual force administered is
that Of push and not a pull. Take a
rope pulling safe up to window.
It Is wrapped under the safe, and that
Is the part that is exerting the force
and urging the safe upward, the other
parts Of the rope simply sticking to-
gether When we pull our coats or
we really push them OF. for the force
Is exerted behipd the object in the d.
rection Of motion. and, as every one
knows, that Is called push.
So If we really desire to speak In
chastely scientific terms we should say
push our coats of. push our hats of,
push a safe up through window

ORIGIN OF BANK CHECKS.
Dense London Foss, II Is Said, Forced
Their Introduction.

Dense London Fogs, II Is Said, Forced
Their introduction. s
1t is claimed that the business world
owes the idea of the bank check to
nothing else than London's fogs.
These fogs are sometimes OF such a
density that the pedestrian can see but
few feet ahead Of him. Something
over hundred years ago, it is said,
the attacks of thieves and highway
men in the British capital upon bank
messengers and tradesmen going
through the streets to settle their bills
became SO frequent in times of heavy
fog as seriously to interfere with the
conduct Of London's business.
It was easy for the thief to ambush
his victim, club him into insensibility,
rob him and then disappear into the
murky atmosphere, with little likeli-
hood of apprehension or identification
or that passersby would witness the
commission of the crime or be of any
assistance in the chase.
In these circumstances bankers,
tradesmen and others set their wits to
working, with the result that the bank
check was devised for the payment of
debts. Soon the highwaymen found
that a few pieces of paper were all the
booty they were likely to get from a
"h0ldup" Of even wealthy trades
man. Accordingly the activities of the
daylight robbers soon came to an end,
but the convenience of the bank check
proved SO great that it survived not
only in London, but was adopted
throughout the civilized world.-W Wash

RINGS OF Alb.
How 70 Blow Out a Lighted Candle
Twelve Feet Away.

Twelve Feet Away.
The distance from which an average
man can blow out candle rarely ex-
ceeds three feet. If he is an adept at
blowing smoke rings. however, a can
die may be extinguished at twelve feet.
or course the smoke isn't necessary.
An ordinary air ring will do and has
the added advantage Of being invisible.
Simply pucker the mouth as you would
to blow smoke ring and expel air in
quick, sharp manner 1t takes a
good deal of practice to do it.
An easier way to show the effect IL
one is doubtful is to place sheet Of
cloth or canvas over the open side Of
q box otherwise closed, making
small. round hole in another side.
Then tap in sharp manner on the
canvas and invisible air rings will be
produced. II the hole is pointed at a
persons face and the rings are made
he will feel them as they strike his
face. Only a few trials are necessary
to extinguish candle at twelve feet.
To render the rings visible smudge
may be burned in the box, or small
dish Of ammonia may be placed side
bN side with small dish Of hydro
chloric acid. the combined fumes of
these liquids making dense smoke.
The explanation why one can put out
the candle at twelve feet is that the
energy of expulsion is conserved and
practically all retained in the smoke
ring, while a simple blowing has to
set In motion whole stream of air
and is therefore wasteful. Chicago

To Save EYES
S THE OBJECT OF THIS FREE PRE-.
SCRlPTION-TRY 1T IF YOUR
EYES GIVE YOU TROUBLE.

Thousands of people suffer from eye
troubles, because they do not know
what to do. They know some good
home remedy for every other minor all
ment, but none for their eye troubles.
They neglect their eyes because the
trouble is not sufficient to drive them to
an eye specialist, who would, any way
charge them heavy fee. AS a last re-
sort they go to an optician or to the
five and ten-cent store. and ofentimes
get glasses that they do not need, or
which, after being used two or three
months, do their eyes more injury than
good. Here is simple prescription
that every one should use:
grains DIPLOMA. Il Tablet
ounces water.
Use three or four times day to battle
the eyes. This prescription keeps the
eyes clean and quickly overcomes in
flammation and irritation. Weak, wa
terry, work-strained eyes, granular lids
and other similar troubles are greatly
benefited and oftentimes cured by its
use. Many who wear glasses have dis
carded them after using 1t for few
weeks. 1t is good for the eyes, and
will not injure the most sensitive eyes
of an infant or the aged. Any druggist
can fill this prescription promptly. Try
it, and know for once what real eye
comfort Is.

SUDDEN

If you knew that you could cure

disease by the use of dynamite, would
you take the chance?
Calomel acts on the sluggish liver
like dynamite on the solid rock.
1t shocks and upsets the organs
and works much harm as proven by
its after effects.
Modern science has discovered a
vegetable substitutes that produces all
the desired effects of calomel without
the shock or after troubles. 1t is so
harmless that acids may be taken
into the system Immediately after the
medicine without fear of after effects
1t rids liver, kidneys and bowels of
all poisonous accumulations and
leaves the patient feeling new and
strong.

American to Visit China.
President H. P. Judson of the Uni
versity of Chicago has been granted
six months leave of absence by the
trustees of the university for the pur-
pose of studying medicine, surgery and
public health in our country for the
Rockefeller foundation in New Yory OF
which he is one of the directors, says
the Chinese Students Monthly. At the
time of this writing he is already or
his way to Europe. Accompanied by
an experienced medical expert, it is
DR.. Judson's plan to visit the principa
medical schools and hospitals in ou1
country and to ascertain what progress
is being made in modern medical teach
ing and provision for public health.
1t will be too premature to speculate
on the outcome of this inquiry, but the
significance of this visit must not be
overlooked. Meanwhile, we wish to
say to DR.. Judson that he is welcome
in our country and we wish him and
his party a pleasant journey.
A New Idea.
Tne young women in Corea use va
rious methods for travel when doing
evangelistic work in the country. DC.
casionally they go in jinrikishas, often
on horseback, and oftener they walk,
sometimes for miles. Not long ago
Miss Mary Myers had rather an anus
ing experience on a country trip. No
jinrikisha nor horse was to be found,
and there were seventy Ii twenty
three miles, between her and the
station where she was to take the
afternoon train. The church elder
came to her rescue and offered his
COW. All arrangements were made.
Her boxes (saddlebag style), cots and
bedding were placed on the COW, and
at $3.50 a. m, perched high on top of
the pack, she began the trip in the love-
Hest moonlight possible. There were
two hours in the moonlight, a glorious
spark of sun and then
snow. Miss Myers says: Really a
COW affords delightful riding, and l
am thinking of investing in a COW for
purposes"
