Waterspouts.

The waterspout at sea and the tor
nado on land are manifestations Of
great instability Of the atmosphere In
a vertical direction, caused either by
an abnormally warm surface layer Of
air or an abnormally cold layer at the
cloud level, says Nature. The former
cause is common in summer; the lat
ter occurs both In summer and winter
and is usually associated with Zine
squalI" or V shaped barometric de-
preston. The waterspout shows the
track along which surface air passes
spirally upward to restore equilibrium.
The commotion of the sea Is due to
the exceedingly violent character Of
the phenomenon. The funnel itself Is
probably composed partly Of moisture
condensed out Of air by the sudden
diminution of pressure which occurs
and partly Of sea water In the form Of
spray. Sometimes the middle portion
Of the visible funnel is absent, but
there must in that case be a CORE
spending complete funnel of rotating
air from the surface Of the cloud

MelanchoIia.

Melancholia does not mean depres-
sion of spirits. A man may be as de-
pressed as it is possible to be and still
not have melancholia. Melancholia Is
dependency on account Of painful de-
lusions. One of the two typical delu-
sions Of melancholia is that the unpar-
donable sin has been committed. that
God has been offended beyond redemp-
ton and that hell is to be the ultimate
goal; the other is that Of impending
poverty. Everything is lost or is about
to be. The patient and his family are
going to end up in the poorhouse His
acts alone have brought about this ter
rible calamity from which there is no
escape. 1t can be readily seen that a
person having decisions of this type
must be necessarily depressed There
is probably no form of insanity In
which the anguish of the patient equals
that Of the melancholiac. Life is one
continuous MISUNDERSTANDING.

Hominq Instinct of Crabs.

7 Who would believe that among crea-
lures having well developed domestic
instincts we must include the humble
crabs, the spiders Of the sea-" as VIC
TOR Hugo calls them? Once under wa
ter, we might expect one part Of the
sea to be as homelike as another, but
that only shows how little the average
human being understands a crabs
point Of view. Some one, however,
suspected them Of the homing instinct
and 80 tried the experiment Of catch
ing q pair Of them on the Yorkshire
coast, in England, and, after marking
them, carrying them south fifty miles
or more, returning first one and then
the other to the water at different
points on the shore. Then the York
shire crabbers carefully searched their
traps as they made each haul, on the
lookout for the possible return OF the
wanderers. Strange to relate, one day
not one, but both Of the crabs were
caught a second time, having made
their way back across the intervening
miles Of sea bottom to their Yorkshire

REMOVES
MCCALL FROM OFFICE
Governor Finds That Public Service
Commissioner Violated Law
owned Utility Stock.

ALBANY, y. Y, Dee. edward L.
Mccall OF New York, a former justice OF
the state supreme court, was last night re
moved from office as chairman of the down
state public service commission by Gov.
Whitman, who sustained in part the
charges preferred against the commission
en- by the Thompson investigating commit
tee of the legislature.
% The governors decision was that Mccall,
in violation of law, owned stock of a cor
poration under the supervision of his com
mission. Other charges alleging neglect OF
duty and inetiiciency were dismissed.
Con- Whitman said that. he would desg-
nate Commissioner William Hayward of
New York as temporary chairman, and
that at the same time he probably would
appoint a commissioned to till the vacancy.
Mccall was appointed Feb. 3, 1913, and
had two more years to serve.
Gov. Whitman reviewed at length the
evidence to support the charge that Nc
Call was owner of 3S7 shares of stock OF
the Kings County Electric Light and Pow
Ell company, as well as the commissioner
explanation that before entering upon hi,
official duties he transferred these holding,
to his wife. In this connection the gov
ernor says:
There Is nothing before me which II
any way indicates the transfer OF the stool
from the ownership of the commissioner Il
that of his wife except the commissioner
unsupported statement. / do not believe
transfer within the meaning OF the Law
was ever made"
The opinion then quotes the section o
the tax law, providing penalty for trans
ferring stock without affiXing the stoc
transfer stamps and continues:
Therefore, if we assume that there wa
such a transfer we have this situation

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate in it,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial fid-
die, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent its spOnge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
If you get headaches, it s your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it S your liver.
If YOU wake up with a bad taste, fur
red tongue, nasty breath or stom-
ach becomes rancid, it S your liver.
Sallow skin, muddy complexion, watery
eyes, all denote liver uncieanliness.
Your liver is the most important, also
the most abused and neglected organ
of the body. Few know its function or
how to release the dammed-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks re-
sort to violent ealomel, which is u
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
IT accumulates in the tissues, also at
tacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick or
well, should drink each morning before
breakfast, a glass of hot water with a
teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in
it, to wash from the, liver and bowels
the previous days indigestible materi
al, the poisons sour bile and toxins
thus cleansing, sweetening and freshen
ing the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re
strict the diet like calomel, because i
can not salivate, for it is harmless ano
you can eat anything afterwards. L
is inexpensive and almost tasteless, an,
any pharmacist will sell you
quarter pound, which is sufficient for ;
demonstration of how hot water anC
limestone phosphate cleans, stimulates
and freshens the liver, keeping yol
feeling fit day in and day out.
