plainly seen through them There is where science got the idea of the N-ray machine. The light when ap- piled to human flesh shows penetra- tion, illumination and obliteration of opaqueness."
 'I see, John but how are yoa going to illuminate town with them? Are you going to tack them up on polls?
 Polls! the thunder, womanl Don't your mind ever get higher than a poll !? 1T 1t was just half as luminous as one of those worms, you could understand my invention without difficulty. My idea is to produce 6 perfect vacuum, and to do this, must study the worm, as it and the tire-hy are the only known creatures that cen produce a perfect vacuum"
 That may be true, John, but when you get your vacuum, how are you going to light it?"
 Tt will be already lighted, Mrs. Tweezer. Ether does the work. It flows through the earth's atmosphere in mighty currents. It is the speech of the wireless telegraph; it lights the electric light bulbs with a faint ether blush; we carry the bulbs around in our pockets like jack knives or watch es; it will be a heatless light, -doing away with cartoons, wires and dyna- mos"
 John, if it's perfect vacuum you are looking for, think you can find 1t in your cranium, but I doubt ser iously if ether would penetrate it."
 Woman, how dare you talk that way to me! Women know little or nothing about inventions. believe Eve did invent a costume once, but it soon went out of style
 Now bring me my bicycle pump, Mrs. Tweezer, and l will demonstrate to you that hot air is good for more things than growing cotton or pro ducing prosperity. 1 will show you that can create a vacuum by pump Ing the air out of this bottle; of course 1t won't be perfect one, but it will give you an idea of my invention. It will cause the worms to blush and show their ether flame which science s so much interested in Now you io the pumping, Mrs. Tweezer, while
 hold the bottle as wish to note the esults." Mrs. Tweezer took hold of he pump and drew the handle back 'eady for action. Come down gent y" cautioned John, Cor you might reate too much vacuum.

A PERFECT
 VACUUM By John Tweezer.

"John, what in the world have you in that bottle? l suppose it is some more of those Mexican boil weevils you have found on the potatoes or in the cabbage"
 "Woman, don't you know the diff ference between a boil weevi and a worm?" growled Tweezer as he plac- ed on the table before his wife a quinine bottle half full with squirrning insects. "I have found a perfect vac uum, Mrs. Tweezer, which will soon revolutionize the system of lighting homes and streets with brilliancy as much above the electric light as the electric light is over the talow can dle."
 That will be a great invention, John, but 1 have been taught that there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum" remarked Mrs. Tweezer as she looked upon the contents of the bottle with disgust
 Invention! Why there never was @ft invention Mrs. Tweezer. Long be- fore the era of man, Nature, in the person of wasp, had attained the art of preserving animal flesh without i'm pairing its value as food; spiders were making and using suspension bridges with chains of silken threads long before man ever dreamed of spanning Niagara. The wood beetle was boring a smoother round hole thousands of years before man invent ed an augur. A drop of water sus- pended over an object gave us the telescope. So you see necessity is not the mother of invention'; it is. trite saying and should be changed to Nature is the mother of invention"
 q understand, John, Nature holds the key, but 1 can't understand how these ugly squirming worms are to illuminate the earth"
 Those are glow worms, Mrs. Twee- zer They can reduce light without a dynamo or heat They are the inven- tors of the cold flame and heatless lights. If you will take the time to examine them, you will find that they are rigged with small incondescent bulb inside of their bodies, and their bodies are perfectly transparent. When filled with flame. objects are

THE BATTLE AUTUMN

What means the gladness of the plain This joy of eve and morn. The mirth that shakes the beard of
 grain
 And yellow locks of corn? An! eyes may well be full of tears, And hearts with hate are hot. But even-paced come round the years And nature changes not. She meets with smiles our bitter grief With songs our groans of pain; She mocks with tint of flower and leaf The warfelds crimson stain. Still, in the cannon's pause. We hear Her sweet thanksgiving psalm; Too near to God to doubt or fear She shares the eternal calm. She knows the seed lies safe below The tifes that blast and burn; For all the terror of blood we SOW She waits the rich return. She seeks with clearer eye than ours The good of suffering born The hearts that blossom like her
 flowers,
 And ripen like her corn.  Q, give to us, in times like these. The vision of her eyes; And make her fields and fruited trees Our golden prophecies! o, give to us her finer earl Above this stormy din, We' too, would hear the bells of cheer King peace and freedom in!

 Mrs. Tweezer faileI to get il CT the ground floor. The last stroke Of the pump exploded Tweezer's bottle, and sent him bounding to the floor. He picked himself up and stood di- rectly in front of his wife, rubbing his eyes and combiag with his fagera broken bits Of glass and gov worms from his whial,era.
 Woman, you tried to bow me up. You made that pump suck the wind the wrong way, causing a1 explosion and ruining my invention You have exceeded the limit, Madam.

Publisher Richmond Coaster" Waco, Texas, says that Grigby's LIV-NER'
 LAX cured him. Read his statement.

Most people of sedentary occupa- tion such as Editors, Bookkeepers, ot- flee employees, stenographers and others who spend the lives indoors are more subject to the ravages of malaria than those who take large amount of exercise out of doors.
 MT. Shannon devotes much of hls time to writing and was a great sui ferer from Bilious headaches until ne took LIV-VER-LAX.
 On his own statement, this renown- ed remedy cured him, just as surely as it will cure you of Constipation or other malarial symptoms. These symptoms are the signals ahead or serious complications if not eliminat- ed.
 There is no compromise with ma laria. You must get it or it will get you. The ounce of prevention Tn the form of LIv-VER-LAX may save eV- en your life from Malaria, from which nearly every one in this climate suffers in a greater or less degree, ds- velops rapidly when it once gets hold on your system.
