The idea was
suggested by tlie moving sidewalk at

There will be no danger upon entering

means of switches, to run around the

A bulletin issued by the experimental

giving results of tests of tlie value of

of corn may be a proceeding greatly to
the farmer’s benefit when tlie price of

tests showed that one pound of screened

one pound of good grade of yellow dent

A tomtenry to rheumatism ia undoubtedly
inherited, Cnlike many other legacies, it re­
mains in (lie fam ily. Tlie most effectual means
of checking this tendency, or of rem oving in­
cipient rheumatism, whether pre-existent in
file blood or not, is to resort to Hostctter's
Stomach Bitters as soon as the premonitory
twinges are fell. N u llifyin g tlie fnlluencea of
cold, ex|Kjsure and fatigue, tlie Bitters not only
fortifies the system against their hurtful con-
seuuences, but subjugates malaria, liver and
kidney complaint, dyspepsia and nerve dis­
quietude.

flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian tube. When this tube gets inflam ­

In the future we may be importing
masnt instead of exporting coal. Masut
is a by-product in the distillation of
raw petroleum
It is also manufac­
tured from a cheap, brown coal found
in Haxony. There has been, until re­
cently, great trouble in finding a furnace
suitable for burning it.
It is now
blown by steam into a special furnace,
on the principle of tlie Lucigen light,
and used without difficulty.
It is 40
or 50 per cent cheaper than coal, anil is
20 per cent better as a heat raiser.
Steam can be got up quicker and kept
at a higher pressure and more work be
done by tiie machinery. From a naval
join t of view these are vitally impor-
tant facts. No sign of a ship under
full steam will he shown in the sky, for
masut is a smokeless fuel. Russia and
Italy are using it in their navies, and
Germany lias lately made some valuable
experiments. A t Kiel, Wilhelmshaven
and Danzig are tanks from which it
can be pumped into ships. Its sjiecific
gravity being so much less than that
of coal, a shiji’e buoyancy is greatly in­
creased when the bunkers are filled
with it. Heavier armor or cargoes can
be carried. The heating cajiacity be­
ing greater, the ship can travel faster
or farther. It is yet to be learned what
imjirovements tlie Germans have in­
troduced into their furnaces, and what
are the disadvantages of masut.
