Many a man would bet
ter go without lunch at al!
than eat the hurried lunch
which forms the noon-day
meal of many a business
man. Hasty eating, foods
hard to digest, and no time
allowed for digestion are
the cause of many a case
of stomach "trouble."
Disease of the stomach
seriously threatens the
health of the whole body
and should be promptly
cured. Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery cures
diseases of the stomach
mnd other organs of digestion and nutri
tion. It enables the perfect assimilation
of food and the proper nutrition of the
Iwxly on which physical strength depends.
"Nine or tin ycnrs ago my health became
very poor, and in 1S02 was so far pone that good
doctors pronounced my case the worst they lmd
ever treated, " writes Mr. Harvey Philips, of
Florence, Ala. "I had acute stomach trouble,
liver complaint catarrh and was nervous to such
an extent I could not sleep. I finally frot three
tK.ttles of Dr. I'ierce's Golden Medical Discovery
and some ' Pellets.' Took them according to
directions on the bottles, and in a few day
noticed a decided improvement. I commenced
to cet more rest at nisht and could eat with
pleasure, where formerly food was like chips to
tne. When I had used three bottles of the
Discovery' I was a new man ; could eat mince
fie for supper, go to bed at seven P. M. and
Ut'r until seven A. M I am now working at
tnv tr.i ie (carpentry), everv day in all kinds of
vre.-ither. and' think if I had 'not taken your
medicines I would now be under the sod."
Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets cleanse
the clogged system from accumulated
impurities.
ANALYSIS OF TH2 AIR.
TkuBiher of cw Gases Found In the
Mniociiherf-Different Com posi
tion m at Varying Heights.
The composition of the air w as up to
a few years ago a relatively simple af
Jfair. Two principal gases, nitrogen and
oxygen, formed tlie greater part of the
atmospheric mass; another gas, carbon
ic acid, only representing a few ten
Ahousandths of the total volume, and
aqueous vapor, variable from one day
.o another, completed the fixed ele
ments of the world's envelope. If to
.this combination we add a little ozone,
v'ondeiibed oxygen, in small and variable
..proportions, we have a complete state
rjiient 01 our Knowledge, or, at least,
Znza knowledge which sutliced tor a
-student facing an examination, says a
.translation in Public Opinion from
..Ndc-va Antologia Rome.
To-day all is changed, for recently
Tiave "been found a large number of
new gases m the air. A fw cays ago
Prof. Hann, of Vienna, gave a-luminous
exposition of the present view of sci
Ece on this matter, and the conclusions
of this famous meteorologist are very
interesting. Prof. Hann stated that to
the Lnown gases, oxygen and nitrogen,
or azote, we mu6t add argen, neon, cryp
Ion, xenon and helium. Further, ex
ptriiiitnts have shown the presence of
hydigt-n, an element vitally necessary
.in the composition of water, but not
.considered up to the present in the
make-up of the air. These gases have
different physical properties, their dens
ity especially being very dissimilar, the
lightest of all being hydrogen, com
pared to which helium is nearly twice
&s heavy, 1.97; neon, 9.9; azote, about
14; oxygen, about 10; argon, nearly 20;
carbonic acid gas, 22; crypton, 41, and
xinon, 04. With such differences in
-density it is evident that the gases are
not present in equal proportions.
This view is radically different from
'J. he classified view, for we have hereto
fore believed basing our conceptions
i.n data obtained from balloon ascen
sions that the composition of the air
-'as the same, even at the greatest alti
f ades, which conception is easily un
'iprstood wnen It Is recalled that we
vordy took into consideration oxygen and
azoLL', the density of which elements
mi about the same. With the knowledge
ve have to-day of the properties of the
different gases, of their weight and their
JifjiK-faction temperature, we may de-
ermine approximately what the propor
tions should be at different altitudes,
the proportions being stated by Prof.
Hann as follows:
"On plains but slightly elevated above
"h !fa. the composition of the air is 7S
per cent, of azote, 21 per cent, of oxy
gen, 0.9 per cent, argon, 3-10,0O0th of
-rarbonic acid, hydrogen, l-10,000th,
while the other three elements vary from
-a hundred-thousandth to a millionth
part. At six miles the azote is 81 per
rnt. and the oxygen 18 percent., argon
and carVonic acid ga have diminished
ne-half, but hydrogen is a little more
abundant, 3Vs liters to the ten thou

loitjt being 18 degrees C. At 63 miles,
with a probable tern pe rat nre of 80 de--rtee!

GENIUS IN THE BUCKETSHOP.
Hew York; Operator Got Onto u Fast
WlTe and It Hroujfht Him
a Uoont.
"It takes two wide open eyes to keep
the sharps from eating you up in this
business nowadays," oald the bucket
shop man, relates the New York Sun.
"Only yesterday I stopped a gap that
was costing me money every day we had
any activity in the market.
"You see, our Rochester office gets its
quotations by a direct wire from New
York, while our Buffalo office is on a
circuit of a New Ycrk-Chicasio vr'.re, and
is about two minutes slowt r. We have
a direct wire from the Rochester office
to the Buffalo office, as well as long-distance
'phone connection.
"The operator in the Rochester office
got wise that his wire was two minutes
faster than the Buffalo ticker and got to
trading with the Buffalo office over the
direct wire whenever movement of a
stock was enough to give him a margin
the best of it. This puzzled us for
a while, for Rochester was taking all the
profit out of our Buffalo sheets."
"Suppose you fired the Rochester op
erator?" remarked the listener.
"Not at all," said the bucketshop man.
"I brought him down and installed him
in the office here. Rochester is too small
a town for th operation of such genius."
Underworld Exploration.
Prof. W. W. Watts, the English geolo
gist, strongly advocates a new geological
survey of England, which shall do as
much to make known the subu rracean
world there as existing surveys have
done to make known that which lies on
the near surface. This demand .rows
out of the ever-recurring question of
the approaching exhaustion of the Brit
ish coal-fields. Prof. Watts says that
there is still an area of concealed coal
fields left, possibly at least as large and
productive as those already explored,
but to develop them wrk will have to
be done at a depth of thousands instead
of hundreds of feet. The first step must
be systematic and detailed exploration
of these invisible fields under the guid
ance of scientific principles.

Prominent Official are Indicted by
lirund Jury.
Washington, Feb. 19. As a result of
Ue investigation of the alleged whole
sale public land frauds in the western
states, the grand jury of the District of
Columbia today reported a joint indict
ment of conspiracy against John A.
Benson and Frederick A. Hvde of San
Francisco, Ilenrv C. Di mond, of Cali
fornia, an attorney representing Ben
son and Hyde, and Joost H Schneider,
of Tucson, Ariz., an agent of Benson
and Hyde. Bench warrants were im
mediately issued ami Schneider was ar
rested in this citv !ate this afternoon by
Secret Service Agent William J. Burns.
Schneider's bail was fixed at $20,000.
Benson, who had already ben indicted
here on the charge of briherv, is now
believed to be in New York, while
Hyde is thought to be in San Frwncisco.
The indictment is voluminous doc
ument, and sets forth a number of trans
actions bv which land, it m alleged, has
been fraudulently acquired from the
government in California, Oregon,
Washington, Nevada and elsewhere.
Most of these transactions are alleged to
have oenrred under the lieu land law.
The scheme outlined in the indictment
and alleged to have been practiced in
these transactions was tn obtain school
or other lands by applications, assign
ments and purchases in names of a fic
titious person or persons not really de
siring or qualified to purchase them.
Hvde and Benson paving them small
sums for the land. The indictment
charges them with making false reports
in all these transactions.
In pursuance of this alleged conspir
acy thus carried through by dummy ap
plicants, certain nneurveyed tracts in
the Olympia, Wash., land district, con
taining 3100 acres, were secured in the
name of G. W. Clarke, Frederick A.
Hyde, and John A. Benson, other lands
specifically cited as secured including
large tracts in the Vancouver land
district in Washington and the Cascade
range forest reserve in Oregon.
The arrest of other parties indicted is
expected to follow. The action taken
disposes of all the land fraud cases thus
far presented to the local grand jury,
but others may be submitted at any
time. Similar proceedings are expect
ed in other jurisdictions.
