It is made of ebonite The upper half can be taken off, and con- tains in the head of cut glass the lamp, connected by wire: with three small platinu- sink elements. The strength of current is four amperes. tension six volts. To fill the battery the lower part is filled with a. fluid patented by the inventor, and the two parts are then firmly joined. When the head of the cone is lowered or inclined the lamp emits a brilliant white light, which may be kept up for about two hours. While the cone is carried upright no material is wasted. The fluid can easily be replaced, and anybody can fill the reservoir. The weight of the one is a trifle more than a pound. Mrs. Pettigrew shrieked and ran out. Mr. Pettiqrew yelled, jumped out of bed, and ran across the room out into the road. He ran on, for a. few hundred yards and then stnpped, turned around, and waited to see his house blown up. There were two more reports, and when nothing more was heard after a. safe interval, Mr. and Mrs. Pettigrew ventured to return. The stove was a. wreck, the window panes were broken, a. big patch of the ceiling lay on the floor, and broken glass was all around. The six bottles had exploded. This was on Friday night and since then Farmer Petti- grew has had no rheumatism. Neither has he used any other remedy. He has not quite made up his mind whether the rheumatism was scared out of him or whether the 300-yard sprint down the icy road in his bare feet efi‘ected the cure. Farmer l‘clflaNW Undecided Whether Explosions or 8. 300-Yard Sprint did ll. Abel Pettigrew, a. farmer, who lives near Springfield, N. J., suflered with rheumatism all winter. Last week both feet were so swollen that he was not able to leave his bed. A neighbor suggested as a remedy that half a dozen bottles of hot water be placed in the bed cloae to the swollen feet, the water to_be as hot as the patient could stand it. The bed on which Pettigrew lay was in the kitchen. When he heard of the remedy he told his wife to get half a dozen empty beer bottles and fill them with water and place them in the oven to get warmed. Mrs. Pettigrew did so. In a. few minutes there was a loud explosion, which was rapidly followed by several others. The oven doors were blown off and the pieces sent skirling over the room. A llandy Article for line on a Dark Night. the rear. This discovery was anything but, pleaguug to Albert Klugurtz. He is the last man in the first line. Klugurtz is a cigar manufacturer. He went to a doctor last week and was examined. He learned that his heart movement was weak. The strict fittention to health which the living ten are paying is a matter of comment. The thirteen men who made the trip were all comparatively young men, not one over 42, and all robust. and healthy. With- in two months three of them have died suddenly. The first of the thirteen to go was Michael North, a wholesale cigar dealer. He caught cold in the early winter. hada hemorrhage of the lungs, and died suddenly, He was 42 years old and a man of strong constitution. About two weeks ‘\later the Sprudels were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Albert Baetzhold. He went into the street while in a heated con- dition after a contest in a bowling alley, caught cold, and was carried oil" by pneu- monia in two days. He was 31 years old, nearly 6 feet high, Weighed 180 pounds, and had the red cheeks of a girl. The third to die was the man of all the members of the club whom an insurance company would pick out as the best risk. He was Herman H. Kamper, an amateur athlete, aman who never dissipated, 6 feet tall, splendidly proportioned, and 30 years old. Pneumonia killed him in two days. The rest of the thirteen began to feel uncomfortable. One day while looking at the picture taken at Sour Spring Grove, it struck John Schwabl as a remarkable fact that the three men who had died stood in the from row in the picture. He com- municated his discovery to the others. When the picture was taken the man stood four in a row, with the thirteenth man in hnd a group picture made. The photo- grapher was ordered to strike ofi" thirteen copies, one ior each member, and than des- troy the negative. The Sprudels is a. great social-political organization of Buffalo. It has nearly a. thousand members. Last Win- Three Men Who lulled the Superstition Are Dead and the Others Are Anxious. A deapatch from Bufi'alo aayazâ€"Thirteen members of are Sprudel Fishing Club of Buffalo defie‘d the old superstition one sultry day last, August, embarked in a yacht belonging to one of the party, and made a. day of it down the river. They visited some of the pleasure resorts on Grand Island, ate a fine lunch, drank much beer, and returned no the city about, 10 o’clock m the evening. As evidence of what; they had done they sat. before a photographer at Sour Spring Grove and ter in secured the big Broadway arsenal and gave a ball for charity, which was amended by 10,000 people.

Curious occupations for women crop up in these days, when any talent, from that of sharpening a lead pencil to teaching Greek. seems to find amoney equivalent from some circle of patrons. A novel way of earning a living is afforded a certain number of young girls in one or two places of the East End of London. Their sole duty isto test eggs by holding them between the eye and the light. From skill and ex- perience they are able instantly to deter' mine their condition in this way.

Heckert, of Munich, has devised aplan for lighting street lamps from the outside without opening the lamp; the re~ sult being to economize in flesh-light gas, to enable the lamps to be lit in a. storm, to shut 06" the main stop-cock, to light Wels~ bach lamps without explosion, and to prevent, the casting of shadows. The main pipe cemmunicates with a kindling pipe, which at one end comes to the outside of the lantern and at the plher goes to the burner. This kindlin pipe ls bored with fine holes. which ma e a. row of flying flames, which lead from the outside to the burner. The main pipe and its connec-- tions, with the stop-cock, are divided so as to enable gas to be supplied to the kindling pipe and burner, and then to the burner alone. The lighting is done with the ordi~ nary rod-lamp, provided with an aperture at its end which receives the lower end of the kindling tube. W hen the lamplighter’s pole is slipped into position wind has no effect on the kindling operation; and the appsmtus is so contrived that while the lamp is burning in the ordinary way no gust of air can get in through the aperture by which the kindling tube emerges from the lantern. An Estimate of the Amount Solomon Spent on His Temple. The cost of Solomon’s Temple and its in- ternal decorations and other paraphernalia was one of the wonders of olden times. Ac- cording to Villalpandus, the “talents” ot gold, silver and brass used in its construc- tion were valued at the enormous sum of 536.879.822.000. The worth of the jewels is generally placed at a. figure equally as ,high. The vessels of gold, according to Josephus, were valued at 140,000 talents, which, reduced to English money (as has been shown by Chapel’s reduction tables), was equal to £575,296,203. The vessels of silver, according to the same authorities, were still more valuable, being set down as worth £649,344,000. Priests' vestments and robes of singeis, £2,010,000, trumpets, £200,000. To the above add the expense of building materials. labor, etc., and we get some wonderful figures. Ten thousand men hewing cedars, 60,000 bearers of bur- dens,80,000 beware of stone, 3,300 over- seers, all of which were employed for seven years, and upon whom,besides their wages, Solomon bestowed £6,733,997. If their daily food was worth 2 shillings each, the sum total for all was £63,877,0S8, during the time of building. The material in the rough is estimated as having been worth £2,545,337,000. These several estimates show the total cost to havva been £17,442,- 442,168, or $77,521,665,936 in our money.

Do you think it is right to publish those glow- ing accounts of cures said to be efiected by the Pink Pills ?” Of course. we think the Pink Pills are good, andif we did not think it right to publish the testimonials we would not do it. Perhaps it is not to be wondered at that people ask such questions when they hear stories of clerks being em- ployed to write up fici ions testimonials to the efficacy of some cheap and nasty patent medicines. The Dr. Williams Medicine Co. do not follow that dishcnest practice as there are few places in the Dominion where the marvellous efficacy of Pink Pills has not been proved. Their method. as our readers may haVe observed, is to publish interviews which representatives of reputable and well known journals have had with persons who have been benefited by a. course of Pink Pills, thus giving absolute assurance that every case published is genuine. Several such cases have come under the notice of the Cana- dian Evangelist, the latest being that of Mrs. T. Stephens, of 215 Hunter street west. Hamilton. Mrs. Stephens is quite enthusiastic in her praise of Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, and is very positive that they have done her a great amount of good. Her trouble was indigestion and general debility. For about a year she was under a physician’s care, without deriving any benefit therefrom. About three years ago she was induced by a friend to give Pink Pills a trial. When she began their use, she says, she felt dreadfully tired all the time, was 'weak and nervous, had a. pain in her chest and was very downhearted. Her father told her she looked as though she was going in “a decline.” She replied that she felt that way, whether she looked it or not. It was not long after she began to take the Pink Pills before she experienced an improvement in her health and spirits. The tired feeling were away and her strength returned, the extreme nervousness vanished and her spirits revived. It is now about two years since Mrs. Stephens ceased taking the Pink Pills. She has had no return of her former troubles during all that time. She is now strong, healthy and cheerful and is very emphatic in declaring that she owes to the Pink Pills her present satisfactory state of health and has, therefore, no hesitation in recommending them to those afflicted as she was.
