= -* Oh REECE e Ae aah ORS SOARS acai rae Speculation as to the composition and surroundings of the sun and its corona has run on many lines, but there have been very few investigators who have suspected the existence of dark bodies in such a neighborhood. h suspicions have existed, but there S been very little to support them until the recent eclipse. Skepticism on the point was fully justified until the fact was definitely and clearly as- certained, since in the case of an ob- ject so brilliant as the corona it was SO easy to mistake a mere interval between two bright structures for a dark cne, and this objection applies even to the photcgraph. It is to the photgraph, however that we owe our knowledge that dark bodies do ex- ist in the vicinity of the sun and its coreua, The di covery appears to be due to he existence of a light which is not hac of the corona, but a faint, diffused ight due to the scattering of other ight by iinute particles, and it is by their showing against this gleam that we are able to convince ourselves the existence of the dark bodies. Waat they mean at present men of sci- ence do not knew and at present have no means of ascertaining. Significance of some sort they must have and to the solution of this problem our as- rs will coubtiess address them- th that mixture of enthusiasm and patience which has given to the world so many notable discoveries. Frolonged exposure of the plates has heen the means bs which Mr. Maunder lias clearly demcnstrated that these < etruvtures posscss an actual ex- and are not mere effects of contrast, as was suggested with regard to the negatives taken by Mr. Wesley far back i871. The dark rays are of no small extent, one of them com- ing to an abrupt end at about 500,000 miles from the eége of the sun, and another bordering on a bright stream- er is even longer thau its companion. Ss ‘mportant even on the ground that it adds a new element to e inexhaustible romance of science. 1 tronom: selves istence Sea Currents and Migrations, The French scientific journal, La ature, calls attention to a recent re- port of the French consul at Hawaii, which, it thinks, throws light on some problems of ethnography. Not long little schooner, dismantled and rudder gone as the :result of a tem- , was drifted by winds and ocean ents from Tahiti to Hawaii, .after eighty-one d of helpless wandering. Hawaiian traditions declare that in cient days people came ‘from Tahiti, drifting with the currents, :and settled Hawaii. The wdventure ‘of ‘the dis- antled schooner seems ‘to prove the possibility of such a migration, and it uggested thet ‘the currents of the fic, which have not yet ‘been suffi- udied, may throw light on the pution of the mative races among the island groups, ago a i I cu TURN THIS SIDEWAYS. If you follow the advice you will be startled by the sudden apparition of wn om Efe ba an er god's smiling face. This, moreover, is not a “freak,” but a gen- wine and*curious case of extraordinary refiection in still water. The pietwre was taken at Willoughby lake, a sum- mer nesort in Vermont, and the re- flewtien iis called locally Devil’s Face. Marver@’s Great Electrie Plant. Prof. Jahn Trowbridge has recently had installed at Harvard uniwersity the most powerful apparatus im the world for the production of eleetro-motive force. The plant comprises 20,000 stor- age cells giving 40,000 electrical units of pressure, and this can be imcreased to 3,000,000 volts. But in order to ob- tain the full effect ef so enormous a pressure, Prof. Trowbridge says it would be mecessary to remove the ap- paratus into the center of an open field and elevate it at least thirty feet frem the ground im order_to avoid loss from the inductive action of floors and walls. With this great battery the highest degree of instantaneous tem- perature yet attained can be produced. Prof. Trowbridge hopes with its aid to obtain some clue to the temperature at which hydrogen exists in the stars. This plant furnishes, he adds, an ideal method of producing X-rays, Cultivated Roosters. The village of Brackel in Belgium enjoys the fame of having originated one of the most celebrated races of domestic fowls. The Belgians do not hesitate to assert that the Bracke] bens are unequaled for the excellence | power and rhythm of voice equally un- | rivaled. The breeders have a theory that of sugar increased. jthem. We thinks that the ordor of aud number of their eggs, while the roosters have developed, thanks to generations of cultivation and the in- fluence of “crowing tournaments,” a that the musical contests in which the Brackel roosters are trained serve to develop the peculiar qualities of the race. However this may be, it is cer- tain the cultivation has differentiated these fowls from all others. CURES CATARRH AT NIGHT. Most of the cures recommended for catarrh, hay fever, ete., require consid- erable care and routine work in order to effect a cure, and the sufferer is apt to neglect a continuance of the treat~- ment until a complete cure is effected, simply because it is “too much trouble” to attend to the simple de- tails. It would seem, however, that if a treatment was provided that could be applied at night, when it would not interfere with the daily duties or re- quire attention at stated hours, it would have much to recommend its use. The inhaler shown above is so constructed as to be readily attached to the nose, and that, too, without a sufficient pressure on the cartilage to cause annoyance or interfere with rest- ful sleep. The device eonsists of two absorbent pads connected by a wire spring, the latter bent to a shape con- venient for attachment to the central cartilage of the nose. The inventor claims that if a sufferer from catarrh, asthma, bronchitis and other diseases of the nasal passages and throat will apply this device at night a cure will be shortly effected, the medicine doing its work at the hours when diseases of the head and throat make their most formidable strides. Harnessing a Waterfall, The harnessing of one of Sweden’s large waterfalls has just been accom- plished. The water power lies at Quarnsveden and the electric current is conveyed to Domnarfvet, about three miles distant. The power station, gen- erators, cables and transformers are all from German houses. For convey- ing this current 46,000 pounds of cop- per wire is used. The waterfall, which is one of the most powerful and con- tinuous in the kingdom, is estimated to contain 18,000 horse power, 8,000 of which is utilized to operate the saw- mills of the company, while 10,000 is used for the generation of the electric current. Sunshine and Sugar. The experiments of the French grape growers in Algeria have shown that too much sunshine is unfavorable for the making of good wine. In the more temperate climate of France grapes possess a proper proportion ei sugar to acid for wine making, but the hot Algerian sunshine induces so ac- tive an assimilation by the vines that the quantity of acid is reduced and In conse- quence the wine makers of Algeria are driven to many devices for improving the flavor and lasting qualities of their wines, Have Insects Favorite Colors. It has been asserted that insects are particularly attracted by the colors of certain flowers. Felix Plateau, after | investigating the conduct of insects in their visits to various flowers, con- cludes that while they may perceive colors and thus be enabled to distin- guish, at a distance, between flowers and leaves, yet they show no prefer- ences among the different colors, Blue, red, yellow, white are indifferent to flowers affects insects more than their colors do. Aluminum for Soldering Ratis. Among the uses recently found for aluminum is the soldering of iron rails end to end in order to obtain a smooth, continuous track. Aluminum has the property of producing great heat in the act of combining with oxygen. The ends of the rails are placed together in a erucible filled with a mixture of aluminum and iron ore. The mixture being fired, an intense heat results, and the rails are firmly soldered to- gether. This is said to be quite as effi- cacious as the electric method of sol- dering. Marine Animals Far from the Sea. Some of the vast changes which the face of the earth has undergone are indicated by the recent discovery in the small lakes scattered among the survival of certain forms of marine an- imals. Salt plains exist there whose An Accomplice in Love. “Does your sweetheart call you pet Bames, Billy?” “Yes; she calls me ‘pal.’ "—Chicago Record. The Chinese Situation.

AND STRONG NERVES With glowing health all things are possible, small annoyances fade into nothingness and real troubles are battled with successfully. Women who are blessed with perfect health are a constant joy tothemselvesandallaroundthem. The beauty which health alone can make permanent is a crown which raises a woman above other women. Such beauty is always accompanied by a sweet disposition, fer snappishness is a sure sign of ill-health and leaves its mark quickly on the features. It seems to be the fashion for women to ignore health and sacrifice it to the little every-day trials, or offer it up on the altar of devotion to daily tasks. Then again the nervous organization of women is con- stantly attacked by woman's natural ex- periences, so that it is practically impossi- ble for her to retain the beauty which nature gave her, unless she has discrimi- nating advice and right support. Dr, Greene’s Nervura for the Blood and Nerves. Trials and troubles are easily overcome by the women whose strength is the genuine strength of perfect health. Dr. Greene’s Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy, bridges the chasm that separates the sickly woman from happiness. It fills her veins with blood thatis pure and clean. Mrs. WM. EF. Bosse, of 85 Farrington St., Flushing, L. I., says: “In regard to myself, I have suffered for years with disease, having been troubled with great ner- vousness, female complaints, indigestion, and at weakness and prostration. I did not [oad ge apes much of anything. Know- ing the great value of health and strength I consulted doctors and took many medi- cines, but they all failed to cure me, and t grew worse rather than better. - I happened to see in the papers how qe01V. mia good Dr. Greene's Nervura tR blood and nerve remedy, was doing in G restoring to health everybody who took it, and I thought I would try a bottle. I used it and to my ae I began to gain strength every day. Iam so thankfnl that I tried it! It is certainly the most excellent tonic and strength giver. I recommend it very highly and Wish that other people who are troubled in any way would take warning and use it,” TO PRESERVE WOMANLY BEAUTY At all the stages of a woman’s life Dr. Greene’s Nervura blood and nerve remedy, is shown to be efficient to ward off the results of nervousness, or over- work, or impure blood. From early girlhood to advanced years, this world- renowned medicine builds up the forces,destroyed by disease, grief, or over- exeftion, and the effects of this great medicine are quickly felt and permanently retained. Let women guard well their health, and consult Dr. Greene freely. Nothing they can possibly do will so surely keep them strong and well, or re- pair the exhaustion from acute illness, nothing will work so continually to the preservation of beauty as the great health-giving Nervura. Dr. Greene’s office. is at 85 West 14th Street, New York City, where he may be consulted either by personal call or by letter Women may write in perfect confidence, and get- Dr. Greene’s advice free.
