A Story Of Dickens.

M. Anatole France has an amusing
reminiscence of Dickens-of whom he
Is a great admirer-in his "Vie Lite
raire." One wonders whether it is au-
photographed "A Frenchman who
made the journey to London he
writes, went one day to see the great
Charles Dickens. He was admitted and
expressed his admiration as an excuse
for thus trespassing on the precious
time of such being. Your fame be

you inspire doubtless expose you to In

"The worlds greatest moving pic
ture," for sight Of which hundreds
of thousands of persons in eastern
cities nave paid as high as 81 head, Is
to have a showing at the Clemmer
Theater, corner of Sprague avenue and
Lincoln street, in Spokane next month.
"The Birth of Nation" started out
to be a dramatization of Thomas Dix
ons 1.-THE Clansman," but it soon out
grew the original story. 1t worked
backward from Mr.. Dixon's romance
of the reconstruction and included the
civil war in an attempt to show that
this country vas not really born until
it had proved its unity by hideous
time of bloodshed and rebuilding.
The film cost half million dollars
to make, employed thousands of mel
and horses for it's action and hundreds
of acres for it's settings, and has hat
more magazine and newspaper public

made.

straits. The value of coral had fallen
SO low that they were no longer able
to find purchasers for their harvest.
At last In their despair they besought
the queen to come to their aid.
At the first great court ball that was
held that year at the Quirinal. the
queen, to the surprise Of all beholders,
wore about her neck collar composed
Of six rows of coral instead of her
superb collar Of pearls. and her black
hair was crowned with diadem Of
coral and brilliants. From that eve
ming the mode changed. Old coral or
naments that had been hidden away
for years and years were again dis
played at the jewelers., and were
snapped up by eager purchasers.
Queen Helena's object was attained,
and that court ball marked the begin.

coral fishers of Tore del Greco.

General Trade Conditions.

Dun's says: Uniform progress Is
not to be expected at this period, when
inventorying and the advance of the
vacation season tend to produce quiet
ness in various mercantile lines. 1t
is significant of the changes resulting
from the war, however, that industrial
conditions do not reflect the usual
midyear lull and all indications point
to fully sustained activity throughout
the summer months.
Instead of showing the customary
abatement, industrial operations stead
lily expand and each week there Is a
further reduction in the percentage
of idle machinery and in the number
of unemployed. This is a most en-
couraging feature, inasmuch as the re-
tail demand for all kinds of staple
merchandise is stimulated as more
wage earners find work and payrolls
increase.

WHAT TO DO FOR
YOUR ITCHING SKIN

Eczema, ringworm and other itch
ing, burning skin eruptions are so
easily made worse by improper treat
ment that one has to be very careful.
There is one method, however, that
you need not hesitate to use, even on
baby's tender skin-that is the
resinol treatment. Resinol is the pre-
scription of a Baltimore doctor, put
up in the form of resinol ointment
and resinol soap. This proved SO re-
markedly successful that thousands
of other physicians have been pre-
scribing it constantly for 20 years.
Resinol stops itching instantly and
almost always heals the eruption
quickly and at little cost. Resinol
ointment and resinol soap can be
bought at any druggists and are not
at all expensive. Great for sunburn.

Baseball is the most dangerous
game known to history. When 1t

furlong race on a mile track. Stats
ticians have figured it out that it Is
43O times as destructive to human life

This would be a cold, dreary world,
indeed, without coal tar and all that
through the magic touch of science
and industry 1t gives us, says Gas
Logic. Among the things derived
from it are the most delicate dyes,
perfumes and flavorings, some Of the
most valuable medicines, the most
powerful explosives, asphalt for pave
ments, oils for lighting, lubricants and
burning; Photographic developers, be-
sides benzine, naphtha. gasoline, etc.
When, early last century, it was dis
covered that Illuminating gas could be
made by burning coal, the tar residue
was almost waste product. But
Frederick Accum suggested that tar
be boiled in still and the volatile
products be collected and condensed.
The process yielded two oils, one light
and volatile, the other heavy. The
latter was used as preservative for
wood under water. The former was
adopted by Glasgow chemist named
Macintosh as waterproofing for
clothing, and garments so treated still
bear his name. It was used also as
solvent in varnish-making and, as coal
naphtha, for lighting.
Holman extracted benzine from
naphtha, and his pupil, Pergin, while
trying to produce an artificial quinine,
discovered that by treating benzine
with nitric acid and powdered cast
iron it could be turned into aniline.
This worked a revolution in the color
industry, almost abolishing the vege'
table indigo, from which so many bril-
liant colors had hitherto been OBJ.

Perkin discovered also that anthra
Gene, one of the heavier oils of coal
tar, could, by heating it with zinc nj
ings, take the place of the expensive
vegetable matter as dye. Thus, nc
produced alizarin, one pound OF which
has the coloring power OF ninety
pounds of madden. In this way the
rich puppies, violets, reds, browns
blacks, blues and greens are produced
When the benzine has done it's worl
in the aniline still, the dust is uset
by the gas manufacturers to cleanse
his coal gas from sulphur. Then it ii
passed on to the chemist, who burns
the sulphur out of it and makes sui
phuric acid.
Perkin made the perfume known a
New Mown Hay from another prod
uct of tar. He turned the vanillin o
the gas works into vanilla flavorings
by treating benzine with an acid h
initiated oil of almonds, and by mixin
this with vanilla produced heliotrop
perfume.
Further steps in the refinement an
distillation of coal-tar oils produce
carbolic acid, saccharin, antipyrir
phenecetin, aspirin, and many othe
medicines, antiseptics and preservs
tives.
In yet another direction some of tn
coal-tar oils have been turned int
such explosives as are now being use
in the shells and the cannon of tn
