Dangers jn Paper.
It Is not a pleasant thought that
the brilliant white note paper which
your hand rests upon may have in it
the fiber from the filthy garment of
some Egyptian fellah after it has
passed through all the stages of decay
until it is saved by the ragpicker from
the gutter of an Egyptian town; and
yet it is a fact that hundreds of tons
of Egyptian rags ar.e exported every
year into America to supply our paper
mills.
At Mannheim on the Rhine the
American importers have their rag
picking houses, where the rags are
collected from all over Europe, the
disease-infected Levant not excepted.
Our best papers are made of these
rags, and our common ones of wood
pulp.
Lesson for Women.
Jersey Shore, Pa., Sept. 26 (Special)
"Dodd's Kidney Pills have done
worlds of good for uie." That's what
Mrs. C. B. Earnest of this place has to
say of the Great American Kidney
Remedy.
"I was laid np sick," Mrs. Earnest
f continues, "and had not been out of
bed for five weeks. Then I began to
nse Dodd's Kidney Pills and now I am
o I can work and go to town without
Buffering any. I would not be without
Dodd's Kidney Pills. I have good
aeaeon to praise them everywhere."
Women who suffer should learn a
lesson from this, and that lesson is,
"cure the kidneys with Dodd's Kidney
Pills and your suffering will cease.
Woman's health depends almost entire
ly on her kidneys. Dodd's Kidney
Pills have never yet failed to make
healthy kidneys.
As riches and favor forsake a man we
discover him to be a fool, but nobody
could hud it out in his prosperity. Bru

Man has Just learned how to flee
from the malaria-bearing mosquito,
and now, If he could, he would teach
pear trees to avoid the blight-carrying
uoney bee. Experiments conducted in
California, and recently reported to
the Botanical Society of America, in
dicate that bees are active agents in
the spread of pear blight at the period
when the trees are in bloom. Pear
trees protected with coverings, after
the analogy of mosquito nets, which
prevented bees from reaching their
blossoms, were unaffected with blight,
while other neighboring trees not thus
protected were badly blighted. Other
honey-seeking insects besides bees also
carry Infection.
Dr. Max Wolf, of Heidelberg, has
photographed a remarkable nebula in
the constellation Cyngus, which, on ac
count of Its shape, he calls the "Amer
ica nebula." It is the first time that
such an object has been named for
any of the natural divisions of the
earth. Dr. Wolf's photograph shows a
really striking likeness to an outline
map of North America. The softly
glowing nebula represents the form of
the continent surrounded by the dark
background of the heavens as by an
ocean. The narrowing toward the
outh, the huge gap of the Gulf of
Mexico, and the graceful curve of the
coast of Central America and the Isth
mus are to be seen.
Prof. Charles Baskerville.i of the
University of North Carolina, has dis
covered two new chemical elements.
allied to thorium, from which the man
tles of Welsbach burners are derived.
He has named one of them oaroliniiim,
in honor of his State, and the other
berzelium, after the name of the great
Swiss chemist, Berzellus. Both the
new elements are radio-active, giving
off rays that penetrate metals, wood
and other substances, and that are ca
pable of producing photographic and
visible light effects. Like other radio
active elements, they are of high at
omic weight Prof. Baskervllle has
been on the track of these new ele
ments for several years.
A German experimenter describes a
singular electric phenomenon exhibited
by & glass tubeful of radium bromide.
The substance had been sealed up in
the tube in December, 1902. Six months
later the experimenter was about to
open the tube with a file, but as soon
as the metal touched the glass the tube
was pierced by a brilliant electric
spark, accompanied by a sharp sound.
It is thought that the retention in the
tube of the positively charged Alpha
particles, which cannot penetrate glass,
and the continual escape of the nega
tlvely charged Beta particles, which do
penetrate glass, set up a difference in
the electric potential inside and out
side the tube so great that at last a
spark was able to pass through the
glass wall.
QUEER BOATS OF THE ORIENT.
PIctureaque Craft Used by Natives In
the Far East.
To the eyes of the Westerner, un
accustomed to the wild, viking nature
of the ocean that, icy cold, gnaws
away at his coast, now and again toss
ing upon the beaches to bones of an
other of its victims, the gingerbread
boats of the Far East seem queer in
deed. One wonders how the dugouts,
the shallow boats with their sails of
matting, the uniymmetrlcal craft with
low bows and grotesque overhanging
sterns, can weather storms, says the
Montreal Family Herald. And most
wonderful of all is that wizard of the
sea, the flying proa of Guam, which
"Hits over the swelling tide" with the
speed of the flying Deutsohland, and
on which, it has been asserted, one
may travel to an island ninety miles
away, transact one's business and re
turn While the hour hand circles once
around the dial. An acquaintance with
these boats convinces one that the law
of the survival of the fittest holds true
in this respect as In others.
The flying proa Is aptly named. As
one leans Indolently over the rail of the
steamer, dropping anchor in the La-
drone Islands, glad once more to see
land, one observes In the distance a
triangular sail. It seems to be flying
over the water. It quickly draws near,
and is seen to be attached to a queer-
looking craft about thirty feet long,
The mast is set In the middle of the
narrow hull, hardly more than two
feet wide, and at each end la seated
1
a native, with paddle in hand. From
one side protrude pieces of bamboo,
which support at their ends, eight or
ten feet from the bellying side of the
boat ,and parallel to it an outrigger.
Its pointed end, flying along just above
the water, now and again tops the
crests of the waves, throwing up little
Jets of spray as it does so. Skimming
along with the lightness and speed of
an ice yacht, the two curious natives
are soon far ahead of the anchored
steamer. Then something odd happens.
The craft falls away from the wind
slightly, the sail is swung half way
round, and this queer craft la coming
back along Its track. The bow has
become stern, and he who sat there
when the proa flew past is now the
helmsman. With wind still abeam, the
queer vessel scuds past again on the
other side of the steamer, revealing an
other oddity. This side of the hull la
perpendicular and as flat as a board.
In Northern India, in the shadow
of the unsurmountable Himalayas, a
craft quite the opposite to the flying
proa in speed and airy gracefulness Is
used. It must be slower even than the
ancient basUetllke coracle of the
Welshman. It is an inflated bullock
skin. The natives do not look exactly
like Jolly Bacchuses as they paddle
their way across the swift SutleJ river
astride their uncouth craft India has,
perhaps, as great a variety of small
craft as one could find In any coun
try. Nearly every port has its peculiar
type.
Some of the Indian boats have no
masts at all. Such are the river house
boats in Nrtbprn India, which one
may charter for $20 or $30 a month for
a season, this sum paying for the serv
ices of a family of servants to do all
the work, including moving the boat
as often as desired. The servants live
In the rear of the boat while the re
mainder is occupied by those who are
seeking relief from the fervid heat of
the sun in this way. Many of the Ma
layan boats have overhanging galleries
at both bow and stern for convenience
of operation. Some have sails of mat
ting, suggesting oriental Banners as
they hang from the masts.
The Asiatic ' watermen and their
boats are inseparable, and in India,
Slam and China thousands are born,
live and die on them. In Hongkong
harbor 20,000 live in boats, and in Can
ton the number has been estimated at
200,000. Their boats are arranged in
blocks and lanes by the authorities.
Sometimes one sees in a Chinese port
a boat which is peculiar, not because
of its appearance, but because of Its
use. This is the floating warehouse
for the storage of the curse of the Chi
nese, opium.
Among the skillful watermen are the
Hawaiian;, who, like many of the oth
er Polynesians, have a boat with an
outrigger. The play of the Polynesian
centers about his canoe, and there is
said to be no sport in any country
which surpasses the surf riding of the
Hawaiian. In the Philippine islands
may be seen a narrow boat with two
outriggers, one on each side of the nar
row hull.
TOOTHPICK HABIT.
So Prevalent In Chicago that It Affords
a Clue to Character.
We have the drink habit, the card
playing habit, the tobacco habit in
fact, habits Innumerable, but there Is
one habit of which little has been said,
although it is present among us. It
is the toothpick habit, and It Is as
firmly rooted in those who have it as
any of the more objectionable ones.
Observe a man coming down State
street early in the morning. He has
one of the little bits of wood in his
mouth. Now, here is where a little
character reading comes in. If he bB
of a quick, high-strung, nervous tem
perament. In a few minutes' time he
will have chewed up one end of It
and turned the other end In his mouth
to masticate. This end is also soon re
duced to pulp and n fresh toothpick
takes its place. He reaches his place
of business or employment, but the
toothpick still sticks there, nor does
ho have his mouth free of one until
his stock is entirely exhausted or he Is
tired out In the former case a match
is resorted to or a few toothpicks bor
rowed from a neighbor, which he will
repay when he obtains a fresh stock
at the reseaurant where he eats his
luncheon.
Cool, phlegmatic persons will keep
a toothpick in their mouths for sev
eral hours. A man of moody or trou
bled mind will let bis toothpick drop
listlessly downward; a man with his
mind intent on one thing will close
his teeth on it and It will stick out
straight, while a happy-go-lucky per
son, or one with mind free from enre,
will have his toothpick at an upward
angle, or constantly shifting about in
the mouth. I tell you, that habit Is
a great index to a man's thoughts and
characteristics.
The cashier of a lending cafe, whose
desk is right where the box of tooth
picks is, says the habit is growing to
such an extent as to keop them busy
filling the box anew. "And worst of
all," she remarked, "they seam unable
to break themselves of the habit After
gazing furtively around, a man will
grab up a handful of toothpicks and
hastily thrust them in his vest pocket
with a .runty look." Chicago Journal.
