An Excellent Combination.
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.

An object, like an Iron anchor, that

notion that at a certain depth the den

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

tlou It usually appears as a foamy white

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,"

During a violent thunder storm at
Ithaca, N. V'., last summer a writer for

short luminous streak wWch appeared Soefaint I -at

the rare phenomenon called bead light

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.

SHE ENJOYED PERFORMANCE.
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. This byplny occurred a third time

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

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.
