end you a letter for publication. For
several years I was in such wretched
health that life was almost a burden.
I could hardly walk across the floor,

physicians attended me, but failed to
help. I concluded to write to you for
advice. In a few davs I

The fact that nettle fiber has of late
been found to produce the finest tissues
obtainable from any vegetable source
has led to a project in Germany to in
troduce the cultivation of nettles in the
Kamerun region of Africa. If the ex
periment is successful, the enterprise
will be undertaken on a large scale in
connection with the weaving indus
tries. Among the most remarkable glimpses
Into hidden corners of nature that re
cent scientific advance has afforded are
the frequent discoveries of micro-organisms
In uuespectl places, where
they produce phenomena heretofore
supposed to arise from other causes.
For Instance, Dr. A. Pettersen, of Up
sala, Sweden, has ascertained that in
preparations of meat and fish contain
ing, for purposes of preservation, salt
to the amount of 15 per cent., micro
organisms grow luxuriantly, and he
concludes that the flavors and odors
that are peculiar to various salt con
serves ar edue to the micro-organlsma
with which they are crowded.
At the latest annual meetlmr of the
Geological Society of America, Prof. I.
C. Kussell called attention to the recent
discovery that many of the swamps
ancMakoa iu the southern peninsula of
Michigan are rich In ciili;arcou.s mail,
suitable for making Portland cement.
Although partly composed of shells,
the Michigan marl Is principally a
chemical precipitate which is still being
formed. The precise method of its for
mation is not yet understood. The sup
ply is practically Inexhaustible. Large
cement works have lately been con
structed, others are In contemplation,
and Prof. Russell says that Michigan
can easily take a leading place in that
industry.
In 1803 the Japanese government ap
pointed an Investigating committee on
earthquakes. This committee, which
has now nearly completed its labors, re
ports, among other things, that it
seems likely that one part or another
of Japan will be visited by a destruc
tive earthquake once in every two and
a half years. That portion of the land
bordering the Japan Sea Is seldom dis
turbed by other than local earthquakes,
while the Pacific coast of the country
frequently suffers from great shocks
originating under the ocean. When a
region Is shaken by constantly recur
ring small earthquakes, it appears to be
rendered safe against the occurrence of
destructive shocks, because the accum
ulation of stress In the earth's crust at
that point is prevented.
Prof. K. II. Barbour, of the Univer
sity of Nebraska, after comparing his
own observations in 1895 with those in
1899, and collecting the opinions of oth
er visitors to the Natioual Park, ex
presses the fear that within a decode
many of the scenes now most attractive
In the wonderful Yellowstone Valley
will have disappeared. He gives de
tails showing that nearly all the hot
springs and geysers have declined in
activity. "Old Faithful" geyser still
does honor to Its name, but the Interval
between Its eruptions, formerly an
hour, has Increased to 75 or 80 min
utes. Meanwhile there Sfems t be an
Increase of ebullition iu the water of
the greatest of all the geysers, the Ex
celsior, whose outbursts have alwnys
been separated by irregular periods,
covering years at a stretch, and there Is
hope that It may be preparing another
exhibition of Its power.
, ADMIRAL SAMPSON'S WISH.
A Watermelon Feast on Shipboard
Providentially Provided.
The law of coincidence works won
ders. During the blockade of Santiago
Admiral Sampson and his officers were
sitting one niore than sultry day upon
the deck of the flagship New York. It
was too hot for conversation, and al
most for thought, says the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post The fighters
simply blinked and glared. The silence
was broken by one, who said: "Next
to having a brush with the Spaniards,
I'd like to have a Georgia watermelon."
The suggestion brought a smile to
every face, which widened when the
Admiral echoed, "A watermelon? I
want two for myself."
A moment afterward the quartermas
ter announced the arrival of a boat
from a supply ship, which had Just
come in from New York city, and add
ed : "The boat is full of Georg'la water
melons off the ice."
Red tae was disregarded, and soon
all on board, from the Admiral down,
were having one of the most enjoyab,le
feasts of the war. When it was over
the officers tried to find how it was
that their wishes were so promptly an
swered, but, although they came near
the truth, they never learned the true
story of the coincidence.
Mrs. Van Brunt a New Yorkartlst
and a member of many of the patriotic
organizations which were' brought into
being by the Spanish-American war,
heard one day of the excitement pro
duced on the Texas by the arrival of a
large but somewhat dilapidated water
melon from home. The story touched
her, and the same day she secured sev
eral barrels of the choicest fruit and
shipped them by the first supply ship
going to Santiago. The captain of the.
vessel was courteous nnd obliging, and
wheu told of the consignment put every
one of the melons on ice and agreed to
send them to the Texas the moment
she arrived at her destination, and In
the event of the Texas not being there
to present them to the admiral in
charge.
NEW FIND OF FULLER'S EARTH.
Deposits of Unusual Purity Discovered
in Floridn.
There has just been brought to light
near the Otklockonee River, fourteen
miles west of Tallahassee, Fin., what
is believed by experts to be one of the
most wonderful pure veins of fuller's
earth ever discovered in any country.
It is said to yield, at the expenditure of
very little labor, immense quantities of
fuller's earth, which stands the 100
test that is to say, there is no waste.
Nearly all mines of the kind contain,
besides the valuable commodity, rock,
flint gravel, sand, etc., but this Is abso
lutely free of all such substances.
Fuller's earth Is a soft clay nnd it has
many uses. Half a century ago It was
little mined in England, and was sc.
valuable there that exportation of It
was prohibited.
Twelve miles from the place of the
new discovery are two fuller's earth
mines that have been worked for a
long time. One Is known as the Ward
mine and the other is owned by the
Standard Oil Company. The product
is used largely for refining crude oil.
Hitherto .these two old mines have
regulated the supply and the price of
the article and enormous profits are
said to have been realized from them.
It is estimated that the fuller's earth
found In this new vein can be put on
the market ready for commercial uses
at one-third the cost possible from any
other mint'.
Some of the more important uses to
which this material Is now put, with
excellent results, are the following:
1. In making baby's powders of
great healing properties for the skin.
2. In refining all kinds of crude oils.
3. For distilling whiskies and brew
ing beer.
4. In the manufacture of all kinds
of vaselines.
5. Packing-houses use It for refining
lards, oleomargarines, butterlnes and
cottolenes. These commodities cannot
be made without the use of fuller's
earth.
6. As a foundation for manufactur
ing all kinds , of laundry and toilet
soaps.
7. A new use recently discovered for
fuller's earth Is that the wool manu
facturers wash old wool with It, as It
is a great absorber of all oils and re
fuse matter found in raw wool.
Naming the Prince or Wales.
About six hundred years ago there
was a king of England Edward I.
who subdued the people of Wales. Af
ter conquering the Welsh he was anx
ious to get their good-will, and so,
when It happened that his first baby
prince was born in Carnarvon, in
Wales, he had a bright Idea, He an
nounced that his boy . was a native of
Wales one who could speak Welsh
Just as well as any other tongue (this
was true, as the baby was but a few
weeks old), and he should therefore be
the people's own prince, Edward,
Prince of Wales.
Twenty-three years after this baby
became King of England, and about
fifty years later his grandson had as
signed to him, as the third Prince of
Wales, the crest and motto which has
been borne by all the English kings'
sons who have since' that day had the
title. The crest Is three ostrich feath
ers, and the motto Is the sentence, "Ich
dlen" "I serve." It was given to the
Black Prince, a boy of great promise,
who fought bravely at the battle of
Crecy. Forward.
Electric Fish of the Nile.
Prof. Francis Gotch describes the
electric fish of the Nile, of which the
Egyptians made pictures thousands of
years ago, and which still Inhabits the
waters of that river, as being provided
with an electric organ that encloses the
whole body. It Is situated in the sklu,
and when viewed with a microscope Is
seen to be composed of about 2,000,000
beautifully formed little disks, super
posed upon connected rows of minute
compartments in which are the termin
als of nerves. The shock Is produced
by an Intense current which traverses
the entire organ from the head to the
tall of the fish, returning through the
surroundings. It stuns small fish Iu
the neighborhood. Prof. Gotch likens
its action to that of a self-loading and
self-discharging gun. The electromo
tive force of the organ in a fish only
eight Inches long can, he asserts, at
tain the surprising maximum of 200
volts. A single giant nerve-cell at the
head of the spinal column Is the source
of the Impulses which discharge the
organ.

Rewards for Andrea Relics.
Notice has been recoived at the
Swedish and Norwegian consulate in
New York that the king of Sweden and
Norway has decdied to reward persons
who have found objects belonging to
the Andreo polar expedition, and that
a fund has been set aside for rewards
for peri-ons who may hereafter find ob
jects from the expedition. It is sup
posed that the hope of reward is meant
to be an incentive to whalers and other
mariners who go far north to search for
traces of the explorer and peuetntte
places out of the beaten path for that
purpose.
Klectrlilty in Capsules.
Tliis new compound, which is made from
cheap chemicals, is put up in capsule torm
and when added to a certain quantit v of
water will furnish electricity enough to
light n hoti.se. drive an automobile or even
a railroad train, lint this is nothing com
pared to the MreninlieniiiK power con
tained in a bottle of' Hosteller's Stomach
ltitters. It cures indigestion, dvsnepsin,
biliousness, liver and kidney troubles and
tills the system with the vigor of health.
Its Saddest Aspect.
The Liverpool Post, calling atten
tion to the report ot Dr. Wiglesworth
on the Rainhill asylum, says: "The
evil of drunkenness has many sad as
pects. Hut perhaps the saddest of all
is the fact that as drunkenness increas
es so does insanity. Last year 180 pa
tients were admitted to the asylum as
a result of drnuken excess. Of these
78 were women. During the year 88
recovered and were discharged. At the
end of December over 130 remained, of
whom less than GO are regarded as cur
able. This refers to one year only and
10 one asyiuiu."
