INDIGESTION.
It is not the quantity of food we eat, but what we digest and assimilate that nourishes the body. When the stomach and organs of digestion and nutrition are diacased, and thefood.encen Is only imperfectly digested; there is loss. of halfeition, and the body inses strength as a ratučal consequence. Not only does the system suffer from tack of nourishment, but the derangement of the organa; inusi Inevitably cause further complications. Indigestion, la a most prevalent source of constipation, which its turn causes a disordered liver, and finally you become burdened With Chronic Dyspepsia. Indigestion invariably arises from improperly prepared food, hasty eatings over- indulgence, fatigue, and exhaustion during the hot weather, breathing foul air, excessive brain work, and more frequently from CRC and worry which exhaust the nervous force and weaken the organs of digcation Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a safe, Bure, and reliable remedy for all stomméhic complaints. They
aid in the digestion and assimilation of food, and in a mili and gentle manner regulate the system, restoring the weak and dyspeptic to health and strength. They give you clean bowels, a healthy stomach, a lively liver, active kidneys, and blood that is rich; and red.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
· STEKET RAILWAY VACUUM SWEEPING The vacuum rail-cleaner of the Hanover Street Railway is designed to remove the trouble some collection of the dirt that is brushed by areopera into the grooves of the rails and is there compacted by the whasis of the cars. The *pparatus is carried on a special car, fitted with two 25 horse-power moters, and consists of brushes of steel on each side for loosening the dirt from the rails, with a vacuum pump driven by an electric motor-that automatically removes the dirt and deposits it in a box in the bottom of the car, Dust, in dry weather is svoided by a sprinkler, with two water tanks of 925 gallons each. An automatic signal tells the motorman when the dirt box is full, and be then stops the pamp, raises the brushes, and takes his load to a dumping place. The car is made to work at any speed up to 17 miles an hour. It uses little power, requires but one man, and readily cleans 45 miles of truck a day, re- moving a cuble yard of dirt or less per mille.
THE TAILS OF COMETS, To explain comets"- talle, Dr. L. Zehnder, a German astronomer, extends a theory he first suggested a quarter of a century ago. As the swarm of meteorites making up the comet ap proaches the sun, thoso nearer the san begin to give out gases and vapours, which form atmo. spheres about single meteorites or groups of several, and the sun's rays are concentrated by theas atmospheres to foci, at different distances behind. If a meteorite is in the focus it may be rendered visible or heated enough to burn any hydrocarbons it may contain. In this way the tail visible lengthens out as the sun is approach- ed, and is always on the side away from the sun.
THE VETERINARIAN'S HOT AIR, The pain of rheumatism, as is well known, is lessened by hot air, and at a German sximal hospital the hot air treatment has been applied by means of an electric blower originally do signed as a hair drier. Dogs with rheumatism, horses with lame shoulders and other sufferign animals were relieved by this new puin soother.
THE OLD-AGE ANTIDOTE. Whatever may be the effect of sour milk iu retarding old age, it seems to have certain advantages as a diet, and is quite certainly beneficial in some cases. With advancing years, the microbes always living in the intes tines are found to change, becoming more of a kind producing putrefnetive decomposition The studies of Motehnikoff suggested that old, age may be due to self poisoning by the pro. ducts of this decomposition, and his experiments were thought to prove that lactic acid is the most effective agent for opposing the develop. ment of the harmful forms, Bulgarian son milk was chosen for introducing the proper organisms into the intestines, as it contains the most powerfully acting of various microbes yielding actioncid. Sour milk is much med not only in Bulgaris, but in Turkey, Bassis, Siberia, Indiaand other countries, and Metchinkoff found confirmation of his theory in the fact that some persons whose diet included little dise lived to andvated aga Prof R. T. Harlett alates that somunist varying methods are adopted for pre- paring natural and artificial sour milk. The milk must first be sterilized by boiling, and the proper lactic fermenta are then introduced, either by adding a little sour milk from a former lot, or by means of pare cultures, Care must be taken to prevent contamination with undesirable organisms, Jour milk is not to be taken indis criminately, as it sometimes disagrees, but it seems to have proven of undoubted benefit in some old-age troubles, including "anaomis, flatulent dyspepsis, headache, some constipation and diarrhoes, and rheumatism

NEW ENGINE OF WAR. TERRIBLE POWER OF AN AERIAL DESTROYER.
An Englishman has invented the torpedo of the air.
send a dirigible balloon through the air at any Sitting at a transmitter in London, he can height, and to almost any distance. By means of the wireless transmission of electric power, he can make it ascend or descend, turn to the right or left, and go forwards or backwards, fast or low. He can make it stop dead ever any selected spot-o town, a fortress, or a
battleship --and, by simply touching a lover, con release the spring of a box arcled on the frame, aut drop explosives on whatever lies beneath.
The Inventor of this tenible engine of war is Mr. Thomas Raymond Phillips, a prominent Liverpool consulting engineer. He claims that his principle can be applied with as much success to man-lifting air-ships and aeroplanes as he applied it to a large model of a dirigible balloon when he gave a remarkable demonstration in the London Hippodrome before a email audienos recently.
The invention has been offered to the Govern- ment, and is to be officially investigated in a day or two.
I can sit in an armchair in London, and make my airship drop a bunch of flowers into ▲ friend's garden in Manchester, or Paris, or Berlin.
Mr. Phillipa made this remarkable statement standing on the stage of the London Hippo- dromo, his fingers playing lightly over the boys of a complicated electrical apparatus that stood on a table in front of him. The keys, save that they were blank, looked much like those of a typewriter. But every time he pressed one there bine steak shot from each of two brass knobs was a whirring, crackling noise, and a joggod

to speak to standing near, it hang almost motionless Borzone until a faint eddy caught it and drifted it slowly sideways towards the wall of the upper circle. It looked like a toy balloon at the mercy of any gust of wind-parposeless, slow
and unwieldy.
And then, suddenly Cr-rrack! Mr. Ray. mond Phillips had tonehed a laver, one the airship sprang into life, Nothing had touched it nothing, that is, that could be seen by the sye of any human being and yet at that touch and at the sound of that compelling "Cr-r-rack!" the airship model awoke and be come a purposeful thing. It was as though a Carter's horse, ploddiar slowly along in a half doza, had been arousal suddenly by the crack of the whip, and had gone back to the acarso from which it had strayed.
It stopped dead in the air a foot from the balcony rim.
"Cr-r-mok!!! It rose twenty feet, to the wound of a faint whirring of propellers. Crer-rack! Crack-epek!!
Like an obedient horse it turned its blunt nose round towards its master, and came steadily, un waveringly down to the edge of the stage,
Crack, crack!" again and again. Running his fingers from one key to another he stopped it dead, turned it about, made it rise and fall, made it turn figures of eight in the sie and ally stopped it again, motionlose in the air, forty feet above the oroliestrs stalls.

I will enable you to Hear as well and as distinctly as anybody could wish. I am see of this, because I cared myself in just the same way. I long since noticed thar it was possible for me to hear people quita plainly when they were speaking over the * phone," whereas in a room it was difficult for me to follow them. This fact caused me to study and experi- ment in the matter in all its bearings, and Enally the result of my efforts was the invention of this Ear-Phone, Thla I can best describe and briefly as a Miniaturé Wireless Telephone. I found that with the Ear Phone 1 could hear perfectly. All roarings in tho head ceased, I no longer had to atrain or to ask my friends to repeat their remarks. My hearing way as

good as in the days of my youth. Moreover, It was simple to wear, quite Invisible, absolutely safe and caused no discomfort whatever. And so I have been entouraged to make my invention known to a wider circle. You cannot judge the value of the Ear-Phooe
by what you have seen or experienced of any other dovicc. It concentrates the sound waves on the Ear. drum, and to the "Hard of Heasing "It sets much na a pair of spectacles act to the eyes of the short-sighted. Now if you are a sofforer from defective hearing I
need hardly say how very pleased I shall be to have you write me on the subject, and give me particulara of your case. Naturally, I am very interested in all such cases, and if you would care to peruse a book I have writion upon Deafness and Ear-Trouble, and how such complaints are at once relieved by the use of the Ear Phone, I will send you along a copy by return. I think it will interest you, and there- fora invite you to accept a presentation copy from me. I am earnestly desirous of doing anything in my power to help any man, woman or child in this country, suffering from deafasss, to recover, as i did, this most precious gift of hearing.
If you will write to Professor. Horrmann, at Dept. 14.3 54. Dake Street, Oxford Street, London, W., I will send you at once, post frm and grathy, a copy of my libastrated Book “The Sense of Hearing : How it la Tmpaired and how it may be Rengred. All who have read my bock say it is the most interesting and helpful book ever written for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing."
volves, the arm turns to the right, and the body of the airship follows. Of course, I can keep it on a straight course with both propel- lers revolving as long as I like.
To ascend or descend I set in motion the twe propellors fired horizontally on the frame- work. The complicated structure in the middle of the frame le the wireless receiver and con- ! troller, and at the end of the frame are the secumulators. The frame is fitted with tiny electric light bulbs. By pressing another key I can light the airship up.
He suited the notion to the word, aud tiny points of light sprang out on the frame of the model sailing in the air eighty feat from the stage. By rapid manipulation of the Eeyboard, he caused these lights to wink our vanish again and again, till one could fancy that the airship was manned by a crew of busy elves.
Indeed, there is something weirdly fantastio and unreal shout the whole thing. It seems pressing and releasing of buttona on a table impossible, even as one watches, that the more should make this magicship steer to and fro as through invisible currents.
It needs no great stretch of imagination to
picture this pretty, burmiess toy transformed Into a grím, relentless weapon of war. For, in truth, the innocent model at the Hippodrome is the mother of terrible children. Her offspring may be a fleet of serial torpedoes, whose master can send them to wreck a town are hundred miles away while he smokes a cigar and fingers a keyboard.
