Recedes Before Weyler's Cos-

Havana, via Key West. Feb. 18. If
official reports are correct, the insurgent
army nnder General Gomes has been di
vided into small corps and Gomez him
self is in full retreat before the continned
advance of Weyler. Dispatches from
Clego de Aviel say the insurgent com-mander-in
chief with 4000 men recrossed
the military line in the province of Puer
to Principe, extending from Jncaro to
Monon, and is going eastward through
Puerto Principi in the direction 6f the
capital of the province.
General Cahxto de Garcia, Gomez' sec
ond in command, was reported fonr days
ago in the vicinity of Puerto Principe,
retreating towards the same point as
Gomez. Weyler arrived yesterday at
Sancti Spiritus, the most important
town in the eastern part of the province
of Santa Clara, near the boundary of
Puerto Principe, in the territory where
the insurgent headquarters were, recent
ly located. Weyler will posh forward to
Moron, Clego de Aviel and Jncaro, thus
seemingly sweeping across the island
with a large force, and driving the enemy
before him. He expects to entrap .Go
mez between two wings of the Spanish
column and force a decisive engagemen
before the rains put ah end to the mill
tary operations. The Cubans believe,
however, that Gomez will, as usual, slip
through the cordon before being com
pletely enveloped.

. Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it Is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken,
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine caws out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. ' T - .
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of DeafneFi (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured, by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars; free.

Something; to Know.
It may be worth something to know
that tbe very best medicine for restoring
tbe tired out nervous system to a healthy
vigor is Electric Bitters. This medicine
is purely vegetable, acts by giving tone
to the nerve centres in the stomach,
gently stimulates the Liver and Kidneys,
and aids these organs in throwing off
impurities in the blood. Electric Bit
ters improves tbe appetite, aids diges
tion and is pronounced by those who
have tried it as tbe very best blood puri
fier and nerve tonic. Try it. Sold for

THE ABODE OF GENIUS.
A Unique Farm in Now York for
Inventors. .
Everything Arranged- for the Con
- venlenee of Those Engaged
i " In Scientific Research a
' ; Queer Institution.
In the heart of New York state, be
yond the reach of thA merely curious,
yet open to all of a scientific turn of
mind, is the only inventors' farm in the
world. There is doubtless no stranger
place anywhere, for it is a form where
balloons axe "raised,'' aerial schemes axe
hatched and air ships are born.
So far as the place at ; Frankfort,
Herkimer county, N. Y., is surrounded
by fields and groves which give no sug
gestion, of city life, it is a farm, but its
products are those of which the or
dinary fammer knows nothing. For
these products are flj-ing machines, bal
loons, strang-e ships that in theory at
least dart'through the air or skim the
gi-ound like a bird. ''.'.
Prof. Carl E. Myers, who has estab
lished - the unique- farm, is like most
men of purely scientific mind in that he
is most conservative in his ideas of
publicity, and is content to live in the
midst of wanders with his assistants
and those who, from time to time, ore
associated with him. If an inventor has
an idea that he will be able to overcome
the forces of nature and construct a
mechanical bird, it will no longer be nee;
essary for him to spend fortunes to
work, out his ideas or die without ac
coanplishinig hia life's object. All he
needs to do will be to go to the inven
tors' farm and find there willing hand
and fruitful brains, as well as all an
pliances of this electrical age to assist
hrm- ' - '
Almost in the center of the big f;irm
is a modern, country house, standing
emid many smaller buildings, in Which
are to be found the materials for every
form of experiment connected with
aeronautics. The lower portioni of the
Targe house is givln. over to living-
rooms, while a thud story and attic ex
tending the length of the building an
occupied by balloon apparatus, acces-
sories and wonderful devices for the
construction of air ships.
The farm was especially selected for
its natural advantages. There are
stretches of level ground,, gently ris
ing slopes and strong declivities. Thus
it- does not matter at what stage of work
the inventions may be, a suitable grad
can always be found on. the farm at
which trials can. be made.' If it be an
air ship that has been constructed
where there is a doubt as to the exact
nature of its workings, it can be tested
on the slight grades, so that there will
be as slight a risk as possible to human
life or to the ship. ...
Close to the main house, in a.glen, is
situated one of the most important fea
tures of the farm. This is the spot de
signed for the making of fabric for all
manner of flying machines and balloons,
On this half acre of ground, which is
starred by the higher ground and trees,
tjjp fabric is stretched .to receive the

has been invented nmd constructed by
Trot. Myers, so contrived as to supply
complete coating of thick varnish and
then to remove the coating with, the ex
ception, of an exceedingly delicate film,
difficult to be -measured by instruments.
One section of the attic of the big
house is a workshop containing all tools
necessary Jor the construction of ap
paratus from wood, metal or textile, in
eluding lathes of various and original
designs, steam engines, all classes of
wood-working machinery and kindred
apparatus for making -comparative
tests. This is the section in which is

Now the real cause of baldness lias
been discovered, and a French derma
tologist, Dr. Labourand, suggests a
remedy. By the use of this remedy, he
says, baldness can be prevented, and in
the next generation it may be unknown.
Can the awful consequence of suoh a
discovery be imagined? Can people of
this generation contemplate such a so
cial condition as a total lack of bald
ness ? What will the ballet girldo with
out that inspiring row of shining pates
just beyond the footlight? What will
the funny man do, deprived of bis fund
of baldheaded jokes? Hair will grow
in vulgar abundance.
It has been known for some- time
among medical men that baldness is a
disease. : It has even' been supposed to
be due to a specific microbe. In fact,
such an extraordinary amount of evi
dence in favor of the theory has been
accumulated that the idea is now gen
erally accepted. Dr. Labourand's in
vestigation in the subject has been ex
haustive and of such a conclusive na
ture as to add heavy reinforcements to
the already existing microbic theory,
He believes that the disease is con
tagious and that the cause of contagion
and the spreading of microbes is due
to the barber's instruments. ' He pre
sents strong evidence in. support of this
theory.
According to Labourand the typical
diseased hair is found at the edge of a
constantly enlarging bald spot. It is
the stump of what was once a long hair,
It is shapeu like an interrogation point;
it grows less in- diameter toward the
root, and has lost its color, being either
gray or -white. ' The normal pith canal
is wanting at the root, which is itself
no longer bulbous and hollowed for the
papilla, but distorted in shape and
hardened. Within the root sac a little
bulb may be seen developing if - ex
amined under the magnifying glass. It
is this which is said to be the cause of
the disease.
In the good hair this bulb or utricule
is full and closed, and contains in its
center compact clusters of microbes, a
culture of the smallest bacillus known.
As the microbe matures it may become
one one-hundredth of an inch in width.
is bent or slightly curved in shape, like
a comma, blunt at the ends and slightly
swollen in the center. Each, bulb con
tains millions of these bacilli, and to
them is attributed the cause of baldness
Investigation shows that by the time
the hair is dead and the root and
rebaceous glands useless the microbe
which produced this effect is gone
Thus remedies applied to the bald spot
in the hope of making hair grow again
are vain. For that glistening, white
desert is totally barren of productive
roots, and the oily sacs are dried for
ever.
However, the progress of baldness
can be impeded. This is accomplished
by disinfection of the skin at the edge
and in 'the neighborhood of the patch
by .means of an effectual, microbe-de
stroying tonic
If tbe microbe of baldness is an actual
fact, as seems fairly probable, and if
the prevalence of the condition is due
to contagion, as is the reasonable and
logical deduction, baldness- can be pre
vented and the first stages of the dis
ease arrested by intelligent treatment.
So, in time, baldness may disappear
from humanity. Chicago Times-Her

It is not likeQy that the public will
read, or even see, the elaborate report
on the oyster and the typhoid question
just issued by the local government
board, and therefore we beg them not
to be alarmed at the comments that are.
appearing in the press on the subject.
Report does not warrant an alarmist
view. It contains, it ia true, the abun
dant justification for having raised the
question. Oysters are now proved, not
only in this country but, in France and
the United States to be capaDie or
causing,, and to nave actually causea,
typhoid fever. And the investigation
of the oyster beds on our coasts, carried
out by Dr. Bulstrode for the local gov-.
ernment board, shows that in several
places oysters are exposed to the risk
of conveying the disease They are
placed for fattening in. shallow water
near the foreshore, and so close to sewer
outfalls as-to be pretty constantly!
bathed by sewage. The worst places in
this respect are Southend, Grimsby,
Shoreham and the Isle of Wight. - On
the other band, Whitstableand several
other famous beds are beyond suspi
cion, while a third class is only theoret
ically open to danger. But the most
comforting point brought out by the
report- lis that even in the worst cases
the danger can be removed without
ifficulry. Now that the government
has pointed the way, it is for the local
authorities t carry out the necessary
reforms, and for oyster consumers to
insist, that they are carried out. St.
