as linen covered with several coats OF

Silk. which would seem to make an

coating compounds. Answers

Stomach Misery

Your money back if you want it is
the way in which McNair Bros, the
popular druggists, are selling Mi-o-na,
the great dyspepsia remedy.
This is an unusual plan, but Mi-o-
ma has so much merit and is so al
most invariably successful in reliev-
ing all forms of indigestion that Nc
Nair Bros. run but little risk in SELL
ing under a guarantee of this kind.
DO not be miserable or make your
friends miserable with your dyspep-
sia. Mi-o-na will help you. If it
doesn't, tell McNair Bros that you
want your money back and they will
cheerfully refund it.
A change for the better will be
seen from the first few doses of Milo
ma and its continued use will soon
start you on the road to perfect diges-
tion and enjoyment of food.
Mi-o-na has been so uniformly sue
cessful that every box is sold under
a positive guarantee to refund the
money If it does not relieve. What
fairer proposition could be made?
McNair Bros. give their personal
guarantee Of money back If you
want it" with every box of Mi-o-na
that they sell. A guarantee like this
speaks volumes for the merit of the
remedy.

simple minded folk:
In II remote village the blacksmith
had got hold of an old copy of sue
ceSsfu novel. In the long evenings he
used TO read it aloud to the villagers,
who fairly reveled in it and listened 1t
out patiently to the end. At length,
when the happy turn of fortune ar
rived which brings the hero and hero
inc together and sets them living long
and happily according to the most ap-
proved rules, the villagers were so de-
lighted at the happy ending that they
rushed off to procure the church keys
and rang merry peal. as they were
wont TO do when n member of their
community was married.

II. G. Ross of the Lister institute. Lon
don, writes to Nature that the terms

sweeps cancer arsenic cancer etc
namely. the diseases caused by the
commodities mentioned-refer in real
ity only to a predisposition to the dis
ease. The commodities themselves do
not actually cause cancer. They mere
ly render the tissues prone to it. which
seems to occur in specific manner.
The commodities always in the first
instance produce cell proliferation, usu-
ally in the nature Of warty growth,
and it is not until an open ulcer has
appeared. generally at the base of the
wart, that malignancy supervenes."

Sunset and Twilight.

Twilight is a phenomenon caused by
atmospheric refraction. When the sun
gets below the horizon we are not i'm
mediately plunged into the darkness of
night. Although the sun is below our
horizon. rays of solar light are bent or
refracted by the terrestrial atmosphere
and continue to furnish some slight
illumination. The process continues
with diminishing intensity until the
sun is so far below the horizon that
the refracting power of the atmosphere
is no longer able to bend the rays
enough to produce visible effect. The
time after sunset that the sun reaches
such a position varies with the lati-
tude of the place. There is less twi-
light at the tropic zone than at the
temperature or frigid zone. This is due
to less time taken by the suns rays to
pass through the atmosphere. at the
tropic zone the suns rays being per-
pendicular and at the temperate and
frigid zones oblique.

Dumas Last Jest,

Dumas the elder was the son of a
general of Napoleon Bonaparte, who
would take his soldiers by the breeches
ard fling them over the palisades to an
assault.
Dumas inherited much of that same
spirit. 1t is said that Dumas left
Paris for the last time taking With him
a single gold piece. which he solemnly
laid on the mantelpiece of his room at
Puys. Toward the end his eye wan
dered across the sickroom to this coin,
and, pointing to it, he said to his son:
See there! Fifty years ago when /
came to Paris had one louis in my
possession. Why am accused Of be-
ing prodigal? have preserved and
possess it still. See There it is.'

SPEED OF PRoJECTILES.
How the Velocity of Cannon Balls and
Bullets is Measured.


How fast does bullet travel? The
highest velocity ever given to cannon
ball is 1,626 feet per second. This is
equal to a mile in little more than
three seconds. or nearly twenty miles
q minute.
A rifle bullet does not travel so fast
as a cannon ball, the average rate be
ing 1875 feet per second. This mat
ter of speed is tested in IA very inter
esting way.
A long wooden shed is used, in which
q distance OF exactly 100 feet has been
carefully marked Off. AT each end Of
this space is stand something like a
target with a large circular opening
where the bullseye should be. Across
each opening is stretched small elec-
trio WIRE connected with Il delicate
instrument in another room.
The rifle from which the firing Is
done is so aimed that the bullet which
flies from il cuts both wires. Obvious
ly the di1erence IN time between tle
cutting of the two wires marks the
speed of the bullet through that 100
feet.
When the first wire is cut an electric
current is broken and rod falls. NOV
ing a pointer on slide in its descent
The breaking OF the second wire acts
in the same manner on another set of
rods, slides and pointers.
The difference in the marks made by
the pointers on the slides makes it pos
sible TO estimate the difference in their
time of falling, and from these calcu-
lations accurate figures as to speed are
obtained. london Answers.
