The pleasant method and beneficial effects of the well known remedy, Svnur ok Fios, manufactured by the Califoiinia Fio Svnur Co., illustrate tho value of obtaining the liquid laxa tive principles of plunts known to bo medicinally laxative and presenting them In the form most refreshing to the tasto aud acceptable to the system. It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing tho system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habituul constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, liver and bowels, without weakening or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In tho process of manufacturing figs are used, as they are pleasant to tho taste, but tho medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and other uromatio plants, by a method known to tho Califohnia Fio Srnui Co. only. In order to get its beneficial effects and to avoid imitations, please remember the full namo of tho Company printed on the front of every package. CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP CO. BAN FJIANOISCO. OAL.

According to ehemlcrii analysis, fif teen parlM of the tlL'Hh of llh have about tho same nutritive value as twelve piirts of boneless beef. The principal Ingredients In the com position of smokeless powder are gun cotton and nltro-glycerlne. Some other substances are added, however, In small qualities. An object, like an Iron anchor, that Is thrown Into the ocean and Is free to sink, will go to the very bottom, no matter how deep the ca may b. Thu notion that at a certain depth the den sity of the water Increases to a point exceeding that of Iron, and that the ob ject would there be suspended, Is er roneous. I'rof. Dewar has at length succeeded In solidifying hydrogen. In lt com pact form, solid hydrogen Is a tran parent Ice, hut owing to rapid ebulh: tlou It usually appears as a foamy white mass. lis mcaii temperature Is 1(1 de grees centigrade above absolute zero. I'rof. Dewar says, with reference to his latest achievement: "The last doubt as to the possibility of solid hydrogen hav ing a metallic character has been re moved, and for the future hydrogen must be classed among the nou-metallle elements," Before the Biological Society of Washington O.

One singular observation of Mr. Cook was that thb soldier nuts which rush out to defend an attacked nest "do not return to the nest, but wander about and soon per ish from exposure to the outside air." It Is said that there Is not a stream r'&ing lit the mountains of Luzon and the same Is true of other Islands of the Philippine group which has not Itw gold-bearing sands. The alluvial depos its of The precious metal have been gar nered for many years, but no thorough exploration for gold at its sources In the I mountains has ever been made, because j the Spaniards were unable to conquer the tribes Inhabiting the Interior re gions. Some of these tribes are eald to look upon the digging up of thu earth as a sacrilege, and they will not seek gold In that way, nor permit others to do It, lest the wrath of the gods should grow hot against them. During a violent thunder storm at Ithaca, N.

It was probably an example of the rare phenomenon called bead light nlng, descrlbeu by 'rof. Klihu Thomson at the n'ceut meeting of the American association. When seen to advantage' it resembles a string of luminous beads hung In a cloud, "the beads being some what elliptical and the ends of'.thir axes In the line of their discharge being colored ml and purple respectively." As seen at Ithaca the line was viewed nearly end on, and there was only a suggestion of color visible. Too Etheronl.

Kelortof Yoiiiur Girl nt tlic Tlicnfcr to n Jfiulo Miui'h Apology. It wns at ono of the leadlmr theaters of Chicago, says the Chronicle, that the incident Happened. It was not an mi. uHiiai incident, by nny means, but tho "inioguc proved of excentlonnl lni.r.t 10 nn who were fortunate enough to hear It. In fact, much of the Interest was transferred for a while from the Htngo Xo the two-part show which was going on In front of the footlights. It was a case of buiivo politeness nnd ourtcHy In tho person of n lovely young girl opposed to rudeness nnd u tardy apology from a big, rcd-factd, ungallant man. This Is the manner of i ho performance not enst In the programme. Ho was, as has been said, large, red M face, wheezy of breath by reason of fan expanse of waistcoat and shortness jof neck. Ho occupied a seat In the .center of tho row in the orchestra chairs. She was a gentle, sweet-faced girl, calm and sedate, dressed In a gauzy gown heavily crusted with jet spangles. She also wore a fur and tullo hat which, with her opera glass case and her wrnp, she held In her lup in compliance with the I'lotko law. She had a seat three removes nearer the aisle than the one occupied by tho wheezy irnn. She wns on tho Improvised stage first. That Is, she ieachcd4hcr seat before ho did and was comfortably settled to en- Joy the performance. He was late and she rose to let him pass. Hit wanted to see a man after the first net nnd she was compelled to rise again to let him out.

A round of applause following tho girl's speech only tended to make him more miserable. INVENTIONS RUN IN CURRENTS. Several llralns Generally Kvolvc the Same Idea Siiiiultaneoimly. "A man In my Hue of business," said a local attorney who makes a specialty of patents, "has an exceptional oppor tunity for finding out thut great'mlnds run In the same direction. It Is a re markable fact that fully seven-eighths of the Important mechanical appliances of the past fifty years have been the subject of litigation on the ground of priority of Invention. In almost every instance it was clearly shown that dif ferent people, sometimes as many as five or six, were at work on the same; idea at the samo time, each unknown to the other. A somewhat plausible explanation has been advanced for these remarkable coincidences," con tinued the lawyer. "It is, in brief, that certain universal needs suggest similar trains of thought to active minds and in searching for the best remedy they fall insensibly Into the same channel. This Is only another way of saying that necessity Is tho mother of Invention, but It Is hard to apply the theory to scores of devices that were certainly not the subject of any specified demand. Take the telephone, for instance. At tho tlmo Prof. Boll wns perfect ing his Instrument at least thrco other Inventors were developing tho samo thing nnd he boat them Id' tlio patent ofllco by a mere scratch. Everybody remembers tho long and hitter contest that ensued, nnd I believe, nersonnllr. that each of tho parties to It wns In entire good faith, although It Is almost Impossible to convlnco nn Inventor. under such circumstances, that thero has been no fraud. Every man believes firmly that the other fellows have sto len his Idea. The arc light, tho Incan. descent light, the X-ray apparatus, tho typewriter and the gas engine are a few of tho big things I call to mind at random In which thero was the same coincidence of thought.
