It Is well known that anesthetics, es
pecially chloroform and ether, are fatal
to llrltig beings, acting slowly when
they are used In small tiantltlcs for n
long time, and rapidly when they nro
given lu large doses. This Is true both
for animal nnd for vegetable life.

The lung differs from nil other struc
tures In having two separate circula
tions, the nutritive, supplied by the left
side of the heart through the bronchial
arteries; and the functional, supplied
by the right side of the heart through
the pulmonary nrtery. This double cir
culation underlies nil the phenomena of
pneumonia, and must be recognized In
any definition of the disease, ns with

Our new Island of Porto Hlco, ac
cording to Mark W. Harrington, Is "thu
most densely populated rural com
munity proper In America." It has
about '.'20 Inhabitants to the square
mile. When the Spaniards first occu
pied It, It was as densely populated as
It Is now. Hefore Columbus discovered
America two successive races had oc
cupied the Island; one seems to havo
been of northern origin nnd tho other
was of Carlb stock. Every tillable part
of the land has been cultivated agnla
and nsnlu.
Aiming the Hint, quartz and Jasper arrow-heads
frequently found In this
country arc certain forms known to
archaeologists as "wur points." Kor
arrows they were made small, some
times not more than three-fifths of an
Inch long. They are triangular In out
line, and were Intended to stick fast In
a wound. Prof. W. K. Moorehead says
that war points are found abundantly
scattered lu certain localities where
there are no Indications of villages hav
ing existed, and the Inference Is that
such places were battle-grounds, where
the red men fought In ancient days.
Kor many years efforts have been
made from time to time to measure the
heat rndlated from some of the bright
est stars. The moat successful attempt
nppenrH to be that of Professor Nichols
at the Yerkes Observatory. With tho
aid of nn apparatus recalling the prin
ciple of the Crookes radiometer, he has
ascertained that the star Vega, which
shines very brilliantly near the zenith
lu midsummer cveulugs, sends to the
earth nn n mount of heat equal to thnt
of an ordlnnry cnndle six miles distant.
A ret urns, the star celebrated by Job,
and which has n somewhat fiery color,
radiates about twice ns much heat as
Vega.
ALUMINIUM A USEFUL METAL.
It la Arallnlile for Mnny Purpoaes iu
the Mechunlc Arta,
The principal uses of aluminium aro
too many to bu enumerated. The pro
perties of the metal are so akin to those
of copper and brass tlut, broadly speak
ing, aluminium or oue of Its light alloys
should, to a large extent, replace both
copper and tin nnd also nickel or Ger
man silver. Such a change would be
followed by various advantages to nil
concerned. Not only would there be
a considerable reduction In the weight
of the articles, but they would uot tar
nish or turn blnck on exposuro to nlr.
Thu cost should bo the same, If uot
actually lower, Inasmuch as, bulk for
bulk, aluminium Is nlrendy cheaper
than copper or tlu, nnd Its price will
continue to fall as tho deuiaud In
creases. Ono Held, however, remains which
copper Is bound to maintain as Its own,
namely, the construction of Isolated
electrical conductors. Experiments
havo ulrendy beeu mado on n largo
scale with baro conductors of alu
minium for telephones, with perfectly
satisfactory results, Its conductivity,
weight for weight, being double thnt of
copper. But when the mains havo to
bo Insulntcd copper Is absolutely tin-
jgppronchable, on account of Its greater.
conductivity, volume' for volume,
.which Is 10 per cent of that of ulu-
nilnkim.
Besides tho advantages set forth
a novo aluminium Is not polsonotti and
Is pre-eminently adapted for the man
ufacture of cooking utetislK A stendy
demand for aluminium Is springing up
In various kinds of printing processes
ns well as In lithography. The metal
appearH to answer admirably for the
construction of rollers used In calico
printing, and when lis surface Is prop
erly prepared It Is also capable of re
placing the ordinary lithographic stone.
It can easily bu Imagined that. Instead
of having cttmbious cud heavy stones,
which can be printed only on special
slow-running "lltlio" machines, It Is far
better and cheaper to use thin sheets
of n metal which can be bent Into n cir
cular form and printed on rotary
presses.
ISIcycles, electric light fittings, chains,

spoons, forks, frames, name plates,
door furniture, hat and coat pegs.boot
trees, Ore engine fittings, business and
visiting cards and photographic cam
eras are a few of the things that are
being dally made In aluminum by vari
ous firms.
Kor motor cars there should be a
large field for aluminum. A further de.
mnnd for the metal will be brought
about by Its Introduction Into the mili
tary services. All parts of the soldier's
equipments hnve practically been made
In aluminum, such nn mess tins, water
bottles, buttons, helmets, parts of rifles,
cartridge cases, fittings for guns, tenU),
horseshoes, portable bridges, etc., anil
It Is well known that continental
nnnlcs, notably the German army, are
employing aluminum on a large scale.

CACTUS PLANT5 THEIR USEE.
Powerful Alcoholic Drlnka Are Ex
trnctcil from Their Trunks.
Cactus Is a genus of plants, the type
-of the natural order of c.ictaseae, and
comprises numerous species, all of
which nre nntlvo to Amerlc. The
name was originally given by Theo
phrastus to a spiny plnut found In Si
cily. The stems of the cactus nre us
ually lealless nnd fleshy, globular ot
columnar, and are armed with spines
and bristles. The structure of many
of the species Is singular nnd grotesque
In the extreme, and the roughness of
the stnlks and the beauty of the flow
ers make them one of the most Inter
esting botanical curiosities of our con
tinent Tbey are fouud clilelly In the
hot stony places of tropical America,
and their tough and almost Impenetra
ble skin Incloses abundant Juice, which
enables them to support a sluggish
vital action without Inconvenience
even In a parched soil.
Some of the varieties of cactus are
only a few Inches high, while others
attain a height of forty feet It Is a
curious fact that the cactus flourishes
even nt the foot of Mount Etna, In Si
cily. Thu most splendid example of
tho cactus family Is the glnnt cactus,
of which n flue cxnmplc Is still stand
ing, although It Is slowly rotting nnd
wilt soon fall. It wns found nt a point
eight miles south of Phoenix, Ariz.,
near the Pima reservation. It Is about
forty feet high. What the date palm
Is to the African deserts the giant cac
tus Is to our own nrld lands.
From It the Mexlcnns extract the
drink called "mescal," nnd the Indians
also obtain a beverage from It On Its
fruit the Pnpago Indians live for
weeks ns a time. Woodpeckers dig
their nests In the trunks and branches,
nnd even doves feed on the fruit
When the cactus of this kind dies Its
usefulness Is uot destroyed, for the
tough ribs beneath the outer skin nre
used by the Papngo Indians for the
foundation of their mud roofs and they
also use It In building chicken coops
and even as n covering for their
graves. It is not this species of cactus
from which travelers are supposed to
obtnln n supply of water, but the small
cactus, which contains a plentiful sup
ply of sap. Scientific American.

him a cup of tea and he had a good
time generally. The next day at thi

on across tho way tho day before,
"Mr. Humphrey Ward gave a large

Professor Tieman, who died In Ger
many recently, was an eminent chem
ist. Ho made two noted discoveries,
ono an extract used largely in place ol
vanila, and the other the production of
an odor of violet that is so near perfec
tion that florists now use it to spray
odorless violets, thereby giving thera
that matchless perfume that tnakeB the
violet tho most popular flower of the
day. His vanila substitute is said to
be an exact copy of the true vanila ex
tract and impossible of detection save
by analysis, and not always then.
An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Strup op Figs, manufactured by tho
Califounia Fiq Sviiup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form mo&t refreshing to tho
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently. Its perfect freedom from
every objectionable qunllty and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but tho medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fio Svnur
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects nnd to nvold imitations, please
