in a manner which makes it impos­
sible to be tampered with until it is
placed in the hands of the royal
personage for whom it is intended.
Each royal dispenser, and there
are several, has a room set apart
especially for dispensing medicine
for royalty. When a prescription is
brought in by a royal messenger the
dispenser himself or his assistant
takes the date and the time of its
receipt The prescription is then
passed into the private room. Here
are glass cupboards, securely locked,
containing the drugs which are used
in making the medicines for mem­

the dispenser and his assistant. The
cupboards are unlocked and the

placed on a table. Each drug be­

necessary quantities weighed and
measured on two or three different
pairs of scales to insure exactness.
The water used ia of the highest
state of purity, and every possible
care is taken to keep it in that state
while the medicine is being made

DR. THOS. W. HESTER
Physician and Surgeon ;
" Fill Your Lungs.
There ia a kind of electricity that
puzzles scientists, which may be
termed natural electricity, but it
has nothing to do with either light­
ning or the well known cat’s fur
variety. One set of observations
was made on the human eye with
its optic nerve and the following
results obtained:
I t was found that when one end
of a wire was placed on the front
part of the eye and the other end
on the optic nerve a current of
electricity passed from one to the
other; also that the size of this cur­
rent varied with the amount of
light that entered the eye and fell
on the retina. Notice that this ia
a current of electricity, and not the
static kind, as is that of the light­
ning and the rubbed fur. Thia
same result was obtained when one
end was placed on a freshly cut end
of any nerve and the other end on
the outside of the nerve.
Facts like these have caused
many scientists to regard the body
as a complicated producer of elec­
tricity, the nerves, like the insulat­
ed wires to and from our galvanic
batteries, serving to conduct the
electricity to and from the great
central nervous organ, the brain.
Several years ago Dr. Siemens,
in a lecture given before the Royal
society, tried to imitate the eye in
this experiment. Crystalline sele­
nium is a better conductor of eleo-
tricity under the influence of light
than it is in the dark. Its conduc­
tivity likewise varies for the differ­
ent kinds of light—red, blue, green,
etc. In Siemens’ artificial eye,
therefore, the retina was represent­
ed by a thin plate of selenium, and
the source of electricity was an or­
dinary battery.
On opening the eyelids of this
artificial eye and admitting light
from a white illuminated screen a
strong deflection of the galvanom­
eter needle was observed. A black
screen gave hardly any deflection,
a blue one a greater and a red a
much greater, but still short of that
reduced by the reflected white
igfat. The eye was thus sensitive
to light and color, and an imagina­
tive scientist would not scruple to
look upon te galvanometer aa a
kind of brain, the wires and battery
as the nerves and body of an arti­
ficial organism entirely under his
control.
While it is seen that all Uving
animals can come under this head
as actual producers of electricity,
there are two animals that can pro­
duce enough electricity at will to do
considerable damage—the torpedo
and the electric eel.
One other kind of electricity that
is a riddle so far is that which is
produced directly from heat and
called thermal electricity. If any
two dissimilar metals are joined at
both ends and one junction heated,
a current will pass. If the same
junction is cooled, a current will
pass in the opposite direction. One
of the greatest problems of modern
physics is to get a practical way to
accomplish this in great quantities
so it may be applied to engineering.

HIS GUN MISSED FIRE.

T h i W ay th« Old Min«r Accounted For

The eastern man had asked the
old prospector a thousand questions,
minus one.
i.
“Do you believe in luck ?” he
queried when the prospector spoke
of the venturous character of pros­
pecting.
The gold hunter must have been
a Yankee, for he parried with an­
other question.
“Well, pardner,” he said, “sup­
pose you had a gun that you had
fired maybe a thousand times, a gun
that had never missed fire, never
failed you at no place in the road,
snd one day you aimed point blank
at the head of your best friend, be­
cause she ate too much, and pulled
the trigger, aud the gun missed fire;
the next second, the friend you had
intended to kill saved your own life
in a funny way. What would you
call that Y*
“Well, I’ll be hanged!” exclaimed
the eastern man. “You don’t look
like the man who would kill his beet
friend.”
The old fellow chuckled shrewd­
ly as he strode over to a chair. A
fine old female dog followed him
and lay down at his feet. Then the
easterner seated himself near by
and offered the miner a cigar. “Tell
it straight 1” he admonished.
“I was doing a little prospect­
ing,” said the old fellow, “in the
roughest country I ever saw and
had taken my dog with me. The
frost was just going out of the
ground, and there was some snow
in patches.
“I got to a place where the cliffs
looked good to me and started to
climb, but somehow I stuck my foot
into a narrow crevice between two
rocks and could not get it free any
way I tried. The ground was thaw­
ing, and I suppose I loosened the
rocks so that they slipped together.
“I had one small sandwich with
me, and I could reach a patch of
snow, so when I was exhausted I
got out my lunch and began to eat.
“The dog crept to my side and
begged so piteously that I started
to divide with her, and then the
thought struck me that I might be
imprisoned there for days before
any relief chanced that way. I di­
vided the little sandwich in eight
parts, and I ate one and gave one
to the dog. It soon began to snow
—the big, wet flakes you see in the
early spring—and the dog came to
me and cuddled down by my side,
looking as sympathetic as a woman.
She was trained to carry messages,
and I had some paper and a pencil
with me. I t began to turn cold. I
shivered and thought of how the
dog had saved a little girl’s life
once when she was lost, and I grew
so sorry—and tried to look it—that
I gave her the remainder of the
lunch. A dog starves harder than
a human.
“ After awhile I raised my gun
to put her out of her misery and
pulled the trigger, but the gun
didn’t go off, and at the next in­
stant the dog began barking furi­
ously, and I presently heard men
coming to my rescue. They had
been passing in the distance and
would not have seen me but for the
barking of the dog. Do yon believe
in lack?”
“But why didn’t you send your
faithful friend home with a mes­
sage? How do you account for the
failure of the gun ?”
“ Well, you see, I was posing in
front of a motion picture camera,
and th a t plot was old—the dog
messenger. And the gun wasn’t
loaded. The cartridge was blank.”
Then the eastern man looked like
the cartridge. — Chicago Record-
