BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.
The skin is the seat of an almost end­
less variety of diseases. Thev are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid aud other poison» in
th* blood that irritate and interfere with
the propr-r action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft ski*, free from
all eruption», the blood must b* kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per­
manently the ugly blotchea and the red,
disfiguring pimples.

The coutluually iucreaaiug demand
for India rubber, and the great luterest
manitasted In all efiorts to prevent
waste of the trees from which rubber
1» derived, have led otir consuls in couu
trl«*s where these trees grow to collect
many valuable facts concerning them.
Consul Goldschmidt at lai Gnaira re­
cently transmitted to Washington some
highly Interesting statements about the
rubber, or caoutchouc. tre«*s. of the up
per Orinoco by Dr. Lucien Mortsse. who
has made extensire personal luvesttga
tlous In that reglou. I>r. Morlsse
makes the somewhat surprising state-
meut that the prohlbltlou of the Vene-
zuelati Government against the felling
of the trees Is altogether unnecessary,
because "it relates to an immense for­
est measuring upward of 74.0'0.»NX)
acres, where caoutchouc exlats in
abundance, aud which It would require
millions and miillous of handa to ex­
ploit. whereas it only contains three or
four thousand Indians, not more than
the tenth part of whom are engaged In
the work.”
Some interesting details have lately
been publisbe«l concerning the use of
ozon* in purifying water. Ozone is oxy­
gen In a highly active condition and It
occurs in small quantities In the air
of the sea and of the mountains. Near
Berlin an establishment has been erect­
ed for the purpose of experimenting on
the effects of ozone In ridding water of
the microbes It contains. Ozonized air
containing from 2 to 8 grams per cubic
meter ia cubic meter equals 220.00 gal­
lons ami a gram is about 15 grains) Is
passed upward Into a tower which is
filled with flints and in Its passage
meets the water coming down and thus
acts upon It. It has been shown that,
as regards water from the Spree, the
number of microbes was decreased
from OOO.vOO per cubic centimeter < .0*11
cubic inch* to 10, which is practically
nil. The total cost Is set down at 35
cents per 1.000 cubic feet. Ozone has
long been known as "nature's disin­
fectant." and Its application to the puri­
fication of water becomes, therefore, a
nutter of great interest It the cost
can be reduced thia mode of purifica­
tion may bare a chance of widespread
adoption.

hopeful, though neither the export»
nor the Imports reach the level at­
tained In lbS9. The prosperity of the
country depends still, as It always has
done, aud most probably always will
do. upon the fruits of the earth. Cen­
turies before the present era. corn and
wine and oil were among the chief
boons of the "promised land.” and
though we hear little now of the first,
the other two are regaining their an­
cient reputation. To melons, which
also were valued In ancient day», a
new fruit has been added—the orange.

the most Important products of Pales­
tine. though the exports of the former
have declined considerably In value
the last few years.
Jaffa oranges,
however, maintain their reputatlou. so
that it may be hoped that the depres­
sion Is only temporary. Southern Pal­
