JACOB VOGT Deafness Cannot Be Cured By local applications, as they cannot reach tho diseased portion of the ear. There is only ono way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of tho mu- cuous lining of tho Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is lnflamod you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect hear ing, and when it Is entirely closed, deafness Is tho result, and unless the Inflammation can bo taken out and this tube restored to its normal con dition, hearing will bo destroyed forever; nlno cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an Inflamed condition of tho mu cous surfaces.

Chemistry has proved that tho 80 cloments aro not Independent, ulti mato things. Astronomy and chom lstry togothor have rondored It prob able that all tho olomonts aro simply stages In tho evolution of matter from simple Into complex forms, tho organic life which exists on the earth being simply the later end of this process of evolution from tho simplex toward tho complex. Thyslcs has found a way of producing out of ordinary atoms minute cathodo ray particles which are much smallor than atom, and has also found that cortaln of uor heavlost elements are In tho very act of spontaneously transmuting thomselves Into simpler forms. To our first question, thon, as to whethor tho elements aro trans mutable In tho laboratories of na turo, wo may roturn tho answer that cortaln of thorn, at least, aro trans mutable; and it Is probable that In nature's laboratories all Of thorn aro produced from somo slmplo, primor dial stuff. Can man effect tho transmission? Thus far he has Indeed learned how to obtain cathodo my particles from any of tho forms of matter; but ho has not learned how to produco by any of tho agencies at his command any of tho 80 recognized elements from any other. Ho has caught na ture lu tho vory act of doing It horr self; but none of tho agencies now known to tho chemist or to tho phy sicist appears to bo ablo either to eccelerato or to -retard tho process that Is, to chango In any way tho rato at which radio-active sub stances aro spontaneously transmut ing themselves Into othor substances. quired to produco thesu ennngos aro probably forover beyond mnn's rench. Tho relative llttlo changes which wo aro ablo to produco on earth havo no mensurable offect nt all upon tho transmutations which uranium, radium or thorium aro undergoing. Although, thou, our modern Bclonco has opened out be fore us a vlow which tho ancient nlchomiBts novor had of tho wonder ful oporntlons going on In nature's laboratories, wo aro at tho prosent day Just as Impotent ns thoy in tho face of tho problem of tho transmu tation of any oloment Into any othor oletnent. If tho secrot of this trans formation should over bo found wo should bo ablo -to-unlock almost In flnito stores of energy which wq now know to bo wrapped up lu tho ntoms of tho elements. Curio proved, In 1903, that tho disintegration of a grammo of radium liberates nt least 300,000 times ns much heat energy as Is evolved In the' combus tion of ono grammo of coal. Fur thermore, It Is extremely probable that similar enormous quantities of cnorgy aro locked up In tho atoms of all substances. J. J. Thomson esti mates that enough onorgy Is stored up In ono grammo of hydrogen to ralso 1,000,000 tons through 100 yards. It Is not Improbable that It Is tho transformation of this sub atomic energy Into heat which main tains tho temperature of tho sun. Ehould man over bo ablo to unlock this energy ho would doubtless look back upon tho day in which his pre. genltors burned coal to warm tholr houses and to drive their engines with tho samo curlcfelty any pity with which wo look back upon the day when our naked ancestors ploughed Assuming that a proper admixture the,r flolda wm, a cropited stick and of their old element, lire, would pro- jJt theIr flrM wltu ti,e Bpnrk from R duce any desired traasformatoln.
