I ¡T IS A MAHER OF HEALTH Absolutely Pure TMFRE IS NO SUBSTITUTE bridges have been destroyed between Harbin and Vladivostok. This is a great advantage for the Japanese, as Vladivostok is known to be very badly supplied, and it therefore could not long resist a Japanese attack. There is still, howerer, no news of actual operations of any kind.____________ NETARTS Mr. and Mrs. John Dunstan, of Trask, were visiting on the Bay for a couple of weeks and were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. C.

There were several strangers on the bay during the past week, and it is re- ported that Jos. Kodad has sold Lis place on the cape. Mr. and Mrs. Desmond went to the city Saturday returning the same day. BOULDER CREEK. 19C4. ! SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. The record aurora borealis lasted for a week in Augus-t, 1859. In Germany 70 per cent, of male and 68 per cent, of female cancer patient« suffer from cancer of the digestive or gans. There «are seven species of salmon in the Taku river, Alaska. Each has its date of arrival from the sea at the spawning grounds. Dr. Gatling, who invented the gun known by his name, has invented a plow* operated by gasoline which will do the work of .30 men and eight horses at a(i expense of a little more than two dollars a day. Hailstones nearly three pounds in weight fell during a recent storm at Jessore, in Bengal. Metal veranda roofs were perforated, cattle maimed, trees beaten down, and a man killed outright by the downfall. A German mechanical genius has published a pa in ph let on “How to St eer an Airship with Eagles.” He demon strates (on paper) that eagles can be harnessed to a balloon and made to draw it through the air. and says that he is training a team for a balloon which he has in readiness. fn ¿900 there were made in this coun try 21.254.000 gross of buttons.

Dr. Javal. of the French Academy of Medicine, who is sightless, denies that nature compensates blindless by in creased sensibility of touch and bear ing, but contends that when a person is blind an extra development takes place in a sixth sense, which is latent in all persons. This sense, which has been called the senFc of obstacles, acts by the nercention of certain warm and indefinite vibrations. The seat of the sen«e is believed to be placed in the forehead. California has 02,000 acres of prune trees. Oil fuel is used exclusively in the 16 melting furnaces of the new Philadel phia mint. The temperature in these furnaces can be raised to 1,000 de grees. It is said that the flint which forms the substratum of London is nothing but petrified sponges. An examina tion of the fossil sponge or Hint shows its structure. The slick insect of Borneo, the larg est insect known, is sometimes 13 inch es long. It is wingless, but some spe cies of stick insects have beautiful colored wings that fold like fans. Several factories have been built in Germany for the manufacture of “forest wool” out of pine needles. It is used for making underclothes and for stuffing mattresses and furniture. One of the most important indus tries attaching to the cheap power now produced by Niagara is the elec trical tearing apart of the molecule of common salt resulting in the forma tion of caustic soda and bleaching powder. A portable street light of great il luminating power is the device of the Westminster county council for les sening accidents from London fogs. A cylindrical tank 18 inches in diam eter and two feet high is charged with 25 gallons of petroleum, and com pressed air forces vapor from the oil into a standpipe provided with a burner. On igniting the torch flares up 18 inches to two feet, with a power of 1,000 candles. Leroy Beaulieu, a well-known econ omist of Paris, has declared that the leisure class of men will have to work for their living in 1952. He made this interesting statement in a lecture on the conversion of the French three and one-half per cent, debt into three per cent, bonds. He said that the rate of interest is constantly decreasing, and predicted that in the next 25 years capital will be glad to get two per cent., and that 50 years hence such first-class securities as government bonds and railway securities will bear one per cent, interest, “which,” said the lecturer, “will compel all except the very large capitalists to work fora living, and the leisure of the class of people now called well off will be abol ished.” FRIEND OF THE THIRSTY.

The man or woman who has become interested in golf must needs- know something of its origin over in Scot land. In his book, “The Art of Golf,' Sir W. G. Simpson tells the following pretty story as to how the game had its beginning: “A shepherd leading his sheep would often chance upon a round’peb ble, and. having his crook in his hand, would strike it away; for it is as inevi table that a man with a stick in his hand should aim a blow at any loose object lying in his path as that he 'should breathe. Over pastures green this led to nothing; but once upon a time a certain shepherd, feeding his sheep on a links, perhaps that of St. Andrews’, rolled one of these stones into a rabbit scrape. “‘Mary,” quoth he. ‘T could not do that if I tried.’ a thought which nerved him to the attempt. But a man can not long persevere alone in any ardu ous undertaking, so Mr. Shepherd hailed another, who was hard by. to witness the endeavor. ‘That is easy,* said the friend, and. trying, failed. They now searched the grass for the roundest stones, and having deepened the rabbit scrape, so that the stones might not jump out of it. they set themselves to practice putting. “The stronger but less skillful shep herd. fin/’.ing himself worsted at the amusement, protested that it was a fairer test of skill toplay for the hole from a considerable distance. With this arranged. ♦he game was found to be much more varied and interesting. The sheep having meanwhile strayed, the shepherds had to go after them. “This pi ving an exceedingly irk some interruption, they hit upon the ingenious device of nailing a circular course of holes, which enabled them to play and herd at the Fame time. The«e holes being now many and far apart, it became necessary to mark their w’hereabouts, which was easily done by m°ans of a tag of wool from a sheen attached to a stick, a primitive kind of flag still used on many greens, almost in its original form. Since these early days the essentials of the pme have altered but little.” Scotkm««'» Precise Folly. Ma j. .Tames B. Pond, of world-wide repute as a pilot of celebrities of the concert stage and the “lyceum.” tells of a waiter, a Scotsman, of whom he once inquired the exact time to leave to catch the morning boat plying be tween the river town where ne was visiting and the next stopping place on bis itinerary. “Weel. I canna’ tell ye jist whit time ’twill be: but if ye’ll leave five min- uites afore ye see the steamer cornin’ roon the p’int. ye’ll Ji«t be in time to cotch it. sir.” -Philadelphia Times. Had tbr Most Seieaee. Tn responding to the toast “Science” it a banquet in New York recently President Pritchett, of the Massachu setts Institute of Technology, told this story: “In a Boston school the other day a teacher said to a small boy: ‘Who won the battle of New Or leans?* ‘Why Jim Corbett, of course.’ was the answer. ‘How did that hap pen?* asked the teacher, thinking to set the boy right. ‘He won.’ was the prompt- reply, ‘because he had more science than the other guy.’ “—Chi cago Chronicle.
