ELECTRIC ACTIVITY
In Ore Deposits Considered By Geologi
cal Survey.

The marvellous accomplishments in
electric science have far surpassed any
thing that men would have dared to pre-
dict in the early days of its development
yet certain prophecies in regard to it
have remained unfulflled. Among these
are the suggestions of some biologists
that electric phenomena might play an
important part in the formation of ore
deposits and that electric methods might
be utilized in prospecting for ore bodies.
Both these suggestions, in the light Of
the growing knowledge of ore deposits
and of electricity appear to be illusions.
1t is now clear that the great causes of
ore deposition are not electric in the ordi.
nary sense and that the electric currents
generated in ore deposits are far too
small to aid prospector in discovering
ore by their influence on galvanome.

Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots

There's no longer the slightest need of
prescription othine--double strengths
guaranteed to remove these homely spots.
Simply get an ounce OF othine--double
strength-from any druggist and apply
little of it night and morning, and you
should soon see that even the worst free
klcs have begun to disappear, while the
lighter ones have vanished entirely. 1T
is seldom that more than an ounce is
needed to completely clear the skin and
gain beautiful, clear complexion.
BE sure TO ask for the double strength
othine, as this is sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove freckles.

stands now as the second strongest
navy in the world exceeded only by
the enormous force of Great Britain,

In another four months, provided
no serious mishap befalls it, the
American navy will have reached the
point of absolute perfection at which
the department is aiming.
To it have now been added nearly
all the battleships of the pre-dread-
nought class that had been trans
ferred to the inactive list of the navy
and laid up. The old ships which
did such valiant service nineteen
years ago in the Spnish war are

These have been modernized, how

new ornaments and fitted for active
service. There are many services that
they can perform as we'll as the mon
sgters of newer type, which they will
relieve for the more serious features
of war. They are regarded as i'm
portant additions to our sea strength.
In matters of equipment matters
are rapidly improving. The sailors
have proper clothing or are getting
IT. For all ordinary services the
medical department is adequate 1t
is supplied with the necessary auxili-
aries, in which respect it is at a
higher point of efficiency than an
American fleet has ever been.
The fleet is more than a fleet 1t
is a vast training school, where the
officers and the experienced men are
making seamen out of farmer boys
from the wheat belt, from clerks and
artisans and from college men who
have gone into the service.
No finer set of men has ever
served under a flag ahoat than those
