In this wuy an Indian takes a “Yurkish” or a “Russian” bath; They dig a hole in the earth, in which they lay stones, end upon which they build a fire, heating the stones to a red heat: they then carefully remove the coals; euttlag a num- ber of saplings they «tick one end in the ground, bend them over and place the other end alse in the ground, these extend over the bot stones ip the shape of a half loop. Over these poles or boops the Indians piace skins of animals or biankets. Ifthe “Russian™ or vapor beth is de- stred, they then throw water upon the hot rocks, thus venerating steam. Those desiring the vapor bath crawl underneath. After the pores of the skin are opened and they protusely perspire they erawl out and another [odian daches buckets of eold water over them, or they plunge into a near by stream. They sre then rubbed thorou hly with Kickapoo Indian Oil, and are given copious drafts of Kickapoo Indian Sagwa, after which they rollup in blankets and have a sound sleep,

Who can teach the Indians anything abcat heaith? His own physique answers for his superior knowledge.

Kickapoo Indian Sagwa is con:posed of Rature’s remeies, gathered and prepared by nature’s children, who depend not upon book knowledge for their cures, but upon the leaves, the flowers, the roots and the herbs that are placed in the earth by an ail-wise Providence for the benefitof every living creature.

Tie annual consumption of platinum |

is about 215,000 ounces. | Candescent electric lamps, in salphuric | acid for stills, for wire for dental use, } and for chemists crucibles, jewelry, etc. The source of supply has long been the Ural region of Russia. Platinum, is | also found, however,in the United States of Colombia, British Columbia, and the United States. Native washings in the Unrsted Siates of Colombia produce 9000 ouuces, and the efforts of capitalists are expected soon to bring the mines into importance. British Columbia yields about 4500 ounces. The metal has been much sought in the United States, but itis not yet known to exist mm paying quantities, and is obtained ouly as anincidental product of some gold mines.

From the work of two Frenc) engi- neers, Messrs. Hugo and Lalleriand, it is calculated that the ocean wil! reach Paris without artificial aid in somewhat less than 3000 years. Tuey find that the surface of Southern France, especially in the Pyrenees region, is steadily rising, but that Northern France, particularly in the vicinity of Lille, is slowly sink- ing. In Paris itself the subsi-tence is about a third cfaninch a year. It is pointed out that these news would ap- pear to confirm the theory that Eagland

The method of preserving timber by immersion in a bath of naphthaline is reported to have been remarkably suc- cessful. The naphthaline is contained in a tank, heated by steam pipes to about 200° F., and the timber is soaked from 2to 12 hours. The naphthaline takes the place of the sap and water it expels, and a peculiar advantage of the process is the susceptibility to polish thus given the wood.

Ammonia vapor is proposed as a disin- fectant by Herr Rigler, whose numerous experiments have shown that most of the microbes which are supposed to be the cause of various diseases are killed after being subjected to this substance for a few hours.

Some interesting experiments are be- ing made in London in the commercial development of the new Hawkite pro- cess of manufacturing hydrogen gas, Clippings and scraps of iron, which have been hitherto practically useless, are roughly pressed into porous blocks, and these are used with sulphuric acid, in suitable generators, for preparing the gas. The residual ferrous sniphate is cerystaliized and sold. It is believed that the hydrogen can compete in many cases with coal gas, and eens favorable con- ditions it is claimed the cost is actually covered by the value of the residual pro- duct. The process seems especially adapted to the running of small boats. The gas bricks occupy only one-fifth of the space required for an equal weight of coal, and the rvield is 12,500 cubic feet

r ton, against 9000 or 10,000 from coal.

‘or power purposes no gas-holder is

needed, as the gas can be conducted di- rectly from the generati chamber to the engine. An 18-foot nch, fitted with a} horse-power gas engine, has been run 84 miles an hour at a cost of about 10 cents per hour.

Various attempts, with results not al- together satisfactory, have been made to ensure absolute accurate shooting when the soldier is able to estimate the dis- tance correctly, The Austrian Mann- licher rifle has been fitted with an auto- matic attachment which permits of fir- ing the gun only when pointed at the predetermined angle with the horizon. The same object is sought by a German colonel in an electric attachment, which has the disadvantage of being compli- vaved, In yet another arrangement a Hungarian watchmaker causes the trig- ger to be pressed by a clockwork move- = when the right inclination is reach-

The soil is, of course, free from organ- ic life at a depth of a few feet. In soil from the surface, Dr. A. Houston, of Edinburgh, found an average number

three feet, 173,807; and from a depth of six feet, only 410.

About thirty electric locomotives are now in use in the mines of the United States.

The mean density of the earth has been studied by a French physicist. M, Berget, by means of a new instrument— the gravimeter of M. Mascart. This apparatus consists of a U shaped glass tube, containing a column of mercury balanced agrinst a small quantity of hydrogen gas in such a way that slightly varying effects of gravitation will cause the mercury to move in the tube. as in the thermometer or borometer. By this delicate device M. Mascart believes he has obtained some evidence of a varia- tion in the gravity of the earth. Berget made liis computations of tie mean density from the difference in effect upon the apparatus of the earth's attraction with the attraction of a lake and wheu the lake had been emptied of its 320,000 tons of water. -A number of trials have led the experimenter to place the mean density of the earth at 5.4, the

Cavendish being 5.5.

Asa possible source of danger that may have been overlooked hitherto, a writer in Science mentions the forma- tion of explosive gas in the hot water apparatus used in heating houses. Sev- eral quarts of gas each week were pro- duced last winter in the radiators of two neighboring houses, the quantity being greater overa fire of anthracite than one of bituminous coal. The tests ap- plied gave the impression that the gas was nearly pure hydrogen. It was evi- dently due to the decomposition of the water by the rusting of the jipes, which might be expected to take } ace most rapidly over an intensely hot fire of anthracite.

THE CATALEPTIC STATE.

A Peculiar Abou!

The proposition of Alexander Melvor Tyndall to Major Moses Pb. Haudy vo be buried alive ior thirty days at the | Worid’s Fair has created a great deal of interest owiug io Tyudaii’s pueccmenal record asa caialepiic. Medicil wen are | Joath to say what a u.an im a trance,’| ecstatic sleep or catalepsia might or might not do, for the annas of medical history are full of the utmost incredible doings of strangely constituted beings | who thus defy the laws which apply to ordinary mortals.

Dr. Charies E. Hughes, President of the veurological section of the American Congress of Physicians, was seen yester day at his office relative to Tyndall and other remarkable cataleptics.

“Nothing iu the wildest wurk of fiction ever writen,” sad he, ‘ss more thrill- | ingly wouderfal than tue history of irance, sumnambulis nn and catalepsia as revealed in medical annals, In fact, neurotics have made bistory.”

“What do you think of Tyndall's case ?”

“The condition frequent with him seems to be trabee rather Uvan catalepsy, for catalepsy is an apporent suspension of all the functions of life, including con- eciousness, While trince is an apparent suspension of piysieal iife and an alter- ed conscicusiess, in wich the person entranced las beatiiic v.sions and often tal.ing in such con- intelli- genees, We knuw very litile about the cause of either condit.on, and the treat-

Dr. Hugies relited the remarkable case of a young German patient who once came under iis cure while in a cataleptic state, and w!o remained thus continuously for five years, at the end of | which time he died of a prevailing epi- demic and not from the effects of the long sleep.

“This patient awoke for about an hour every day,” said the doctor, “during which he would eat and talk, then re- lapse into his strange condition, He was intelligent, but his experiences for twenty-three out of every twenty-four bours were wholly a blank to him.”— St. Louis Exchange.

ARC AND INCANDESCENT LAMPS.

How the Two Illuminants Differ in Principle,

A great number of people have but a

arc and incandescent lamp respectively. It may be stated that in the arc lamp electric di.charge takes place Letween two pieces of hard conducting carbon separated from each other by an interval which is kept as nearly as possible con- stant by automatic devices. An are of light of intense brilliance, called the voltaic arc, is thus obtained. The carbons, being raised to an exceedingly high temperature and exposed to the air, suffer waste by combustion, and hence require renewal. Tiere is also a trans- ference of particles in the direction of the current, the negative carbon increas- ing at the expense of the positive one. With a view of obviating inconveniences arising from this cause, arrangements are often made for alternating the direction of the current. It is desirable, both for the diffusion of light and for the lessening of its otherwise painful and injurious intensity, that a globe or ground glass should be used. In the glow, or incandescent lamp, a filament of carbon inclosed in a globe exhausted of air by a mercury pump, serves as a4

ath along which the current passes,

he resistance the electricity meets with in passing through this tilament is suffi- cient to raise the latter to incandescence, and a light is thus obtained more suitable for domestic purposes and the illumina- tions of interiors generally than that afforded by the arc :amp.

The Lines in the Hand,

Square or spatulated fingers, in the science of palmistry, denote the philoso- phical and practical temperment. Taper — signify an artistic temperament, and very pointed digits are a sure sign of the dreamy, psychical nature. Much is learned by the general quality and con- figuration of the hand and palm, as well as by the lines that cross thelatter. The life line running around the base of the thumb denotes long or short life, good or ill health, according as it is long or short, clear and unbroken or otherwise. The “heart line,” running across the palm nearest the base of the fingers, signifies the quality of the rs emotional nature, also the kind of love she will give and receive. This will be enduring or temporary according to whether the line be long and clear, forked er crossed and chained. Below this is the head

moral qualities and achievetments and deficiencies. The line of fate runs per- | pendicularly across the middle of the m and isa very important factor in the begqinens or unhappiness of its owner. It should be clear and narrow. unchained and uncrossed by the fins wrinkles which score so many palms, and it should never come to an end on the end on the line of the heart, since this signifies disappointment in love. A cross on the “‘mount of Mercury,” which | is just at the base of the fore or index finger, is an unfailing sign of a happy marriage.—Cleveland Leader.

Carp Peeling the Bark off Trees.

For some months past farmers whose fields touch the Darby creek, near Ard- more, Pa., have noticed that the bushes and small trees along the water's edge were dying. An investigation showed that the bark had been peeled off the trunks near the ground. Only bushes and trees that overhang the creek are af- fected. The farmers thought it must be the work of rabbits, and, as the depreda- tions extended for three miles, a whole- sale raid upon the bunnies wae planned. Herbert A. Enochs says that a timely and startling discovery thwarted the farmers in their crusadé. With loaded

un @ farmer sat by the stream to watch | or the shrub destroyers, when he beheld a large carp leap from the water and | catch at the bushes. It was after a fly that nad lighted there, but in its en- deavor to get it tore off a considerable | chunk of bark. Then other carp were | een doing the same thing. They had ‘actually girdled ali the pushes on the | banks for miles in catching flies. —Pihila delphia Record.

After a careful examination of

Skoda’s German Soap,

I fiad it composed of ingredients of a chen ically pure and healing nature. It cannot be too highly recommended, both for medicinal and toilet use. I also fad

Skoda’s German Ointment perfectly jure and possessing high medicin- al qualities. It caa be used with pace ct eafety on the most delicate skin, and is an excellent ointment for general every-lay use.

Mr. Raymore, whose picture appears above, and who for many years, was engaged in the manufacture of toilet soap, writes, under date of Feb. 4, %: “I am surprised at its soft and purifying qualities. it is pure, tnadulterated, and free from alkail, which most soaps contain.”

Miss Alice L. Welton, a graduate of the Victoria General Hospital Trainiag School for Nurses, Halifax, N. 8., says: “Truly Skoda’s Soap is soft as velvet and pure as

ld. It makes the skin soft, white and

utiful.” SKODA DISCOVERY CO. LTD., WOLFVILLE, WN. $. For sale by all druggists. Trade sup- plied by W. R. Watson; Charlottetown,
