A lepers' island is to be established
b France, as the result offthe sudden
discovery that more than six hundred
lepers are living In that country, cir
culating among the inhabitants. The
minister of the interior appealed to q
special commission of the French
Academy of Medicine to advise the
best means to prevent the spread OF
the disease, and among the various
measures recommended by the COM
mission is one to make one Of the
islands of the coast Of France into a
lepers colony, thus isolating them
from the rest of the world. Not all Of
the 600 lepers now known to the au-
thorities will be transferred to the
island, but a special commission will
sit on each case and decide whether
the leper shall go 10 the island or may
remain under treatment in the coun.
try.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED


by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There Is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutions
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian tube. When
this tube is infianned you can hear a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing
and when it is entirely closed, deaf
ness is the result, end unless the in
Examination can lbe taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out OF ten are caused by

New York Uses Much Water.

In the whole world there are only
about 100000 people. An inch Of
rain on our watershed normally would
give two gallons of water for every
man, woman and child on the surface
OF the earth. Put It another way. II
every man, woman and child on the
face of the earth should walk up to
to the lakes, reservoirs, etc., which
hold New York city's water supply,
and each pour in two gallons of water,

PNEUMATIC HAMMERS.
Greatly Superior In Efficiency to tn
Ordinary Hand Tool.

Greatly Superior In Efficiency to the
Ordinary Hand Tool.
The hammer is one Of the oldest tools
used by man in his daily occupation.
says the Engineering Magazine. From
the stone hammer Of the cave nan to
the pneumatic hammer. which today
rivets together u skyscraping Office
buildings. our battleships and our g.
gantic bridges. is a long step. but prac-
tically all the progress made during
that time has been accomplished dur.
ing the present generation.
We read of ships that require a mil
lion rivets to hold the plates together.
Think of the time saved in driving
these rfvets when we consider that the
pneumatic hammer will strike twenty
times as many blows as the hammer
In the hands of the most expert iron
worker. And riveting is not the only
work on which these hammers save
time in putting a vessels plates togeth'
or. They are useful in more ways
than q common hammer in the hands
Of an expert mechanic. IL in rivetne
q ships plates together it is found
that an edge of n needs chipping II
Is only necessary to insert a chisel In
the pneumatic hammer and the work
can be done very quickly and with
ease. Here the cost Of taking the plate
back to the shop to be planed is saved
and this saving in one case alone may
amount to the cost of the pneumatic
tool.
