almost unbearable; the acid burning

long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the akin irritated.

Prof. Boutanhas succeeded in making
snap-shot photographs of fish In the sea
at a depth of about nine feet. His plan
Is to let down Into the water a white
sheet, and then attract the fish In front
of it by a judicious distribution of
toothsome bait. The object of the pro
ceeding is to Increase our knowledge of
the movements of fish when not con
strained by artificial surroundings or
confinement. It has been proposed to
lower cameras two or three miles In the
sea and make photographs there by
flash-light, but the enormous pressure
at such depths would. It la objected,
crush the apparatus.
It has been averred that bnt for the

Civil War these cave supplies of salt
peter were largely utilised for making
gunpowder. Recently the question of
the origin of cave saltpeter has been
discussed anew In the Journal of Geol
ogy, and V. H. Hess, dissenting from
the view that the saltpeter deposits are
due to the formation of guano by bats,
holds that they have originated from
the evaporation of water which, as It
percolated through the roof of the cav
ern, absorbed nltratevrrni the soil.
Russia authorities are displaying re

VACCINATION.
How the WcoTtrr of th Prevent!-
Vir . Was Made and Applied.
During the eighteenth century It waa
common talk among the country peo
ple of England and Scotland that milk
ers of cows never had the smallpox.
At a time when this disease waa one
of the scourges of Europe such a
fact naturally attracted attention.
Physicians In the cities did not regard
the country notion as worthy of notice.
When an epidemic threatened they In
oculated healthy persons with small
pox virus to give them the disease.
Then it was treated from the start
under favorable conditions. The chief
effect of the method was to make the
inoculated person certain he was to be
seriously 111, while the unlnoculated
might possibly escape. Jonathan Ed
wards was one of the famous victims
of Inoculation.
It was left for an obscure country
physician. Dr. Jenner, to recognize the
scientific Importance of the tradition
about the Immunity of milkers. By
his experiments In 1796 he proved that
Inoculation with cowpox virus carried
protection against smallpox. He wrote
a pamphlet on bis experiments and
sent it to the Royal College of Physi
cians in London. The manuscript was
returned with a contemptuous reply.
The discovery waa of too great Import
ance not to make an Impression, and
during the fifth year after his first vac
cination Jenner and other doctors vac
cinated 10.000 persons In England.
In spite of the success of the process
there were many in the early part of
the century who doubted its efficacy.
The experience of the last thirty years
has demonstrated the value of vaccina
tion beyond the possibility of doubt.
In Chemnitz, Germany, a city of 04.
00O Inhabitants, there- was a smallpox
epidemic in 1870-71. About 54.O0O of
the inhabitants bad been vaccinated.
Only 1.8 per cent of them contracted
the disease. Of the nnvacclnated more
than 4ft per cent were 111. Among the
vaccinated less than 1 per cent of the
cases resulted fatally. Among the un
protected the percentage waa above 9.
Statistics of the armies In Franco
Prussian war show the same general
results. The German soldiers were
carefully vaccinated, while the French
were not. During a wlde-apread epi
demic of smallpox the German lost
only 4.rj0 men from the disease, while
the French lost 2:i.40O. In general It
has been shown that the danger of In
fection Is six times as great and the
mortality sixty-eight times as great In
the uu vaccinated as In the vaccinated.
Vaccination Is compulsory through
out most of Europe, lu France the law
fs loosely enforced and the London
Daily Mail Is authority for the state
ment that 14.000 Frenchmen die an
nually from the (Unease, while It car
ries off only 110 Germans a yenr. The
parents of every child born In England

So our dead lay aud grinned at those

Tor both remained uuburied for a

Boer commando retook the lines when:
those who diet! for us were lying, and
as they mun-hed nmong our dead they
saw a sergeant lying at full length,
shot through the bralu. yet even In
death the man looked like some fight
ing machine suddeuly gone out of
order. Ills rifle was pressed against
his shoulder, his left hand grasped the
barrel on the under side, the foretlng
er of the right band pressed the trig
ger lightly, the barrel rested upon a
rock and bis death-dulled eye still
glared along the sights, for dissolution
had come to him Just as he bent his
bend to fire at those who shot him, and
now his hands bad stiffened in the un
bendable stiffness of eternal sleep. A
Boersoldler saw the sergeant as he lay
and with rude hands grasped the rifle
by the barrel and tried to Jerk It from
the dead man's grip, but as be pulled
he brought the rifle iu line with his
own breast aud the unyielding finger
on the trigger did the rest the rifle
spoke from the dead man s band and
the bullet, passing through the Boer's
heart. laid him beside, the Briton.

At the Paris exposition was a very
curious exhibit In the form of a, clock
which attracted much attention from
visitors. Jt waa placed 1n a glass case
to protect Its delicate working parts
from meddlers. - It was self-moving
and It ran two mouths during the expo

havlug been wound up by any outKlde
force surreptitiously. There was no
reason why It should have stopped,
says Electricity, for It was a true form

its inventor was enabled to obtain
these results by very lugeulously com
bining a system of levers, or hinged
restdu:il magnetic armatures, which
moved a wheel continuously arouud Its
axis for the purpose of wlutllug up a
spring, cousequeutly the clock a,'
ouly an accessory, for the apparatus
could be used for other purposes and
the construction of the wheel or mov
ing mechanism aloue contains the In
teresting features of the invention.
There are two circles composed of
levers which are placed on the two side
faces of the rim of a large wheel.
These two sets of levers form an angle
of 45 degrees with each other, and at
their outer ends counterweights are
attached to the longer arm of each lev
er. From the start we conclude that
the counterweights on the side farthest
from the center of the wheel would

give a preponderating turning force to
the wheel, causing It to turn with a cir
cular movement.
The wheel makes four turns per min
ute, and Its movement Is regulated by
a centrifugal governor put lu motion
through an endlesa chain. '
When the wheel In Irs movement
brings the short arm of one of the lev
ers, which may be called an armature,
to the face or the pulley the phenom
enon of magnetic repulsion takes place,
which causes the long arm of the lever
with the counterweight to rise to a
vertical position, while the further mo
tion of the wbeel causes It to fall to
the other side from the vertical posi
tion, tbus making It add Its weight to
each of the others which have preceded
it to keep the wheel In motion.
The motion of the wheel la transmit

other smaller wheel, whose axle pin

which winds np the spring. '

flesh, aud so narvotis that I could nt
sleep or even get ret. It was dread
ful to go to bed at nipht all worn out
and lie awake for hours with nervous
uness. It 1 did fall asleep it was to
wake up in tbe morning aa tired aa
when 1 went to bed.
"Mv head troubled me a giaat deal,
too, both with pain and rilaxines. If I I
stooped over at any time I would be so
dirsy I could hardly see oi keep from
iatluig down. I a as troubled auuie-a-hat
wi h ind gestiou at this time,
but the uervou-ue;a was the greater
trooble. If 1 oet-ainn a little excired
my bands would shake so I could hard
ly bold anything in them. I felt that
something must be done so I employed
our liet pbysiciaus. They did all
they could for me and although I ob
tained some beuent from Iheir treat
ment, not one of them did me any per i
manent good.
I had, of course, read of Dr. Wil
liams' i'iuk Tills for Pale People hut
bad never taken any of them till a
friend recommended them to ma so
strongly tbat I gut some and before tbe
first box was used up I beitan to feel
tbat they were doiug me good. I
kept on taking them according to di
rections aud- got from them tbe only j
real, permaueut benefit I have bad
front auv remedy. It did seem so good '
to get a night's sleep and to be re
freshed hy it. I am a firm believer in
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple and recommend them to all my
friends. I geoersllv keep a box in the
house to take iu care I feel a little run
down." ELL K X PAKCE.
