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

actly the course taken by the shell.
In the daytime the smoke eervea
an equivalent purpose.
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.

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."
