A Hair
Dressing
Nearly every one likes a fine
hair dressing. Something to
make the hair more manage
able; to keep it from being
too rough, or from splitting
at the ends. Something, too,
that will feed the hair at the
same time, a regular hair-food.
Well-fed hair will be strong, and
vill remain where It belongs
on the head, not on the comb!

Among the peculiar products of Man
churia, which are becoming better
known to the outside world since the
opening of that country, Is "wild silk,"
produced by an Insect named Anthera:a
parnyli, which lives upon the Mongo
lian, oak leaves In southeastern Man
churia. The annual production for a
few -years past Is estimated at 15,000,
000 cocoons. In Shantung this silk Is
manufactured into pongee.
In human history a great river has
sometimes formed a dividing line be
tween peoples possessing quite different
characteristics. Dr. W. M. Lyons, Jr.,
has discovered a similar phenomenon
affecting squirrels In Borneo, He
found eight different forms of squir
rels Inhabiting the northern and west
ern parts of the great Island, and ob
served that a large river proved an
effectual barrier In separating two dis
tinct races. i

Engineers . are harnessing many of
the waters of the world to the use of
man. A great project is under way to
catch the floods which rush down the
Western Ghats, near Bombay, and to
use the water power in cotton mills and
other factories. The valleys are of
rocky formation, and, with dams at
the lower ends, can be made Into tight
reservoirs. Three valleys will be closed
in by dams respectively half a mile, a
mile and a mile and a half long.
The automobile omnibus has brought

In the desert of Islay, near La Joya,
Peru, there are thousands of crescent
shaped sand dunes, formed by the
winds, and slowly advancing across the
level surface. Professor Solon I.
Bailey, the astronomer, measured one
dune, the points of whose crescents
were 1G0 feet apart, while the length
round the convex side was 477 feet
The width at the widest part of the
crescent was more than 100 feet The
weight of the sand composing the dune
was estimated at 8,000 tons, yet It
moved 125 feet In a year. All the
dunes have the same form, and all have

HUMORS IN THE BLOOD
When the blood is pure, fresh and healthy, the skin will be soft, smooth
and free from blemishes, but when some acid humor takes root in the circu
lation its presence is manifested by a skin eruption or disease. These
humors get into the blood, generally because of an inactive or slug'gish
condition of the members of the body-whose duty it is to collect and carry
off the waste and refuse matter of the system. This unhealthy matter is left
to sour and ferment and soon the circulation becomes charged with the acid
noison. The blood beerins to throw off the humors and acids throuerh tha
