The War Department just now in making experiment with an "il luminating bomb." so called, which in reality is not a bomb at all, but the projectile. It is filled with perhaps two ounces of a composit ion that burns witn high illumina ting power. When the shell Is dis charged, the explosion of the gun powder in the gun igDites a fun at- ie cylinder, which is then consumed with a bright light and consider able smoke. Though the quantity of the mix ture in the cylinder is so sma'l, ,it burnt long enough to last until the projectile strikes the target, though the latter should be several mi lex dintaivt. At night its combustion makes a brilliant spot of flame, which, accompanying the projec tile, enables the observer to see ex D I i m ! lot wm 1 0 public, wiling one article at cost an cliarging two prices other!

Though .Important for study, where ordnance officers are taking note of the flight of projectiles, the "illuminating bomb" seems likely to prove useful in actual warfare, enabling the officer in charge of a gun or battery to see bow the shells strike whether they hit or mixs the object aimed at. Thus, either by day or in the night-time, judging by the smoke or by the flame shown, the range can be judged, the elevation of the weapon modified and the aim adjusted with accuracV, even thmgh the target may be very far away. Recpntlv some attention haa been excited in Europe by experi ments with illuminating bombs of different kinds, one of which, when cast among the enemy at night, bursts and immediately lights np the darkness with the power of 100,000 candles, thus revealing the situation of an opposing force. Not less novel and remarkable are the "smoke grenades," filled with chemict substances which, on ex plosion, produce clouds of dense black smoke. These are designed to be carried in advance by skir mishers and thrown so as to con ceal the troops following. Deafness Cannot be Cured . by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafuess Is caused by an inflamed con dition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stacbiaiiiTiibe. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling Hound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, Deafness is the result, aud unless the inflaaiatlou can be ta ken out nod this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever. Nine cases out of leu are caused by Catarrh, which Is noth ing but ii iu flamed condition of the mucous services. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cacnot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O. Sold by Druggists, 75c. Hall's ffhmily Pills are the best Senator Daniel's Dilemma. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, is recognized as an orator of national reputation. As a lawyer and a law writer his fame is perhaps even greater, for his magnificent treatise on the law of Negotiable Instru ments is considered the standard authority. One evening a few years ago the senator, in explaining to a coterie of his friends how he came to write the book, and it was in consequence of his chagrin at being unable to give a client a "horseback" opinion as to whether or not a sight draft is entitled to days of grace. When the senator had concluded his ex planation, one of his listeners, who evidently (had never read the work, said: "Really, Senator; I should like to know myself does a 6ight draft carry days of grace?" With out the least hesitation or enabar, rassment the learned orator replied "I'll be d if I know." E.T.HENKLE, BarberShop. MAIN STREET, One door south of Post Office.
