The portrait. and signature of Dr. A. W. Chase. the famous receipt. book author, are on m'C‘y box. Mrs. Alexander Buchanan, Island Brook, Compton Co., Quc.. writes: “My system was very much run down and I was troubled for a. long time with weal: stomach’ and dizuiâ€" ness. I could scarcely get about the house to attend to my work, and felt very miserable most all the time. After Having used a. few boxes of low vitality soon give way to health strength and vigor when this great food cure .is used. For grease-spo'ts on carpets, lay a heavy blotting-paper over the spots. then iron with‘ a, hot iron. This may not be a succcfis where the spots “For instance, in a room done in a soft terra cotta pink brown photo- graphs can be hung. Take the old ones out of the frames and remat with terra cotta, and you will have a. charming efi'ect, both upon the picture and upon the old fashioned frame, which is probably of either walnut or gold.” In a room in which this plan was followed, new photographs of both deep brown and terra cotta tone were bound in passe pai‘tont edge. the larger ones being done close to the edge with brown binding, and ‘the smaller ones in the same way ‘after being artiscally mounted, some on the terra cotta paper and some on brown paper with a little edge of the terra cotta, paper put in between mat and photograph. Even a little old fashioned print in autumn tints was brought into harmony not only with its own almost impossible frame, but with all the rest of the surroundings by this treatment. The same plan was used in a room of pale green tint, where all the new pictures introduced were black and gray platinums. with black mountâ€" ings. Two or three old fashioned color pictures of flower subjects and the like were brought into harmony with" the walls and pretty light furâ€" niture, as well as into pleasing conâ€" trast with the darker collection, by means of pale green mats, and in one or two cases a touch of enamel of the same color upon the frames. For soot on carpets. where it has been dropped from the Stovepipe or chimney, sprinkle freely with salt. then sweep it up lightly. One woman who is successful in getting good effects in her house uses the trick of framing. or mounting, her pictures in a color to match the Wall in her bedrooms. “I find." she says, “that when one moves or ‘cleans house, the picturres get sifted land resifted so that when one finally ‘gets to the bedrooms there is a. col- lection that is hardly worth rehang- ‘ing. Without some special treat- ‘ment, it would be to the artistic inâ€" terests of the room in question to banish them to the basement or send them to the rummage gale. There are, however, lingering memories about them, and some of them have been household treasures, and by using the color of the wall to give their. a harmonious effect they may once more be made things of joy in the household. The light tints with which the flat bedroom is usually cal- cimined are readily matched at the picture framing store, and will often blend successfully with pictures, both old and new.

These figâ€" ures are, of course, apart from the sub-districts and nonurlmn populaâ€" tion, which‘ in some cases is much more than that of the towns. In the Middleburg district, for instance, the farmers and others of the sub- districts account for 10,711 Whites, while the town itself numbers but 781. In the Transvaal the largest groups of white- folk are, as may be expect- ed, on the Hand and at Pretoria. The Witwatersrand district includes Johannesburg municipality, Boks- burg, Germiston, and Krugers orp as urban areas, with a, total of 92,410 white, and subâ€"districts 23,029 whites, making, with a small force of regular soldiers at Krugerso‘orp camp (1,171) a. total white popula- tion on the Band of 116,670. 0! these 84,11 are accounted for by Johannesburg itself. The Rand disâ€" trict contained, also on the night of the census, 129,361 aboriginal naâ€" tives and 14,357 other colored per- sons. In the Pretoria district there were 43,551 whites, of whom 21,161 were in the municipality, 1369 in small urban areas, and the remainder in the subâ€"districts, with the exception natives, with the exception of“ 55 other colored people. In the Orange Colony there were 385,045 persons, of Whom 143,419 were whites and 241,620 colored. These returns show that on the night 01 April 17 last there were in the Translvaal proper 1,268,716 per- sons, of whom only 299,327 were white, while 945,498 were aboriginal natives, and 23,891 other colored races. In Swazieland, the census of which is given with that of the Transvaal, there were in all 85,484 persons, of whom only 898 were whites, and the remainder aboriginal The diScussion as to the admission of Indians to the new South African colonies has drawn renewed attention to the state of these colonies as re- gards their white population, and upon this question interesting, and, it may be remarked, the only authâ€" entic evidence is afforded by the re- cemtly published analyses of the cen- sus returns of the present year.

The arming of an aerial Warship sounds a very difficult task, but once having secured a machine capable of carrying dead weight, the problem becomes at once half solved. As I have. already stated, inventors are at great pains for the moment to reduce to the lowest possible maxiâ€" mum all Weight, and Santos Duâ€" mont has achieved fame for the lightness of his apparatus. He carâ€" ries a very small supply of ballast. with him, and his machines are of the lightest possible description. At the present moment I am engaged in reducing the weight of a. mo‘tor, and the amount of time and trouble which it involves is enormous. It is a. twoâ€"horse power motor, and, so far I have reduced the weight to less than twenty-rive pounds. I hope to still further reduce it; but it shows the tendency of the moment, and nobody could conceive unless they have tried, what time and labor such experiments entail. ()nce. however, a machine can be made to carry a good supply 01' amâ€" munition, it seems to me that sieges such as We know them now would become an impossibility. The Japanese do not appear to have made any use of balloons in their war against the Russians, and it is rather difficult to find a reason for this; but they have made use ‘of man-lilting" kites exactly similar ‘to those I have frequently experiâ€" mented with, and which were pur- ,chased by' the Japanese Government from my agent about twelve months Iago. Those kites are capable of lifting a man to an altitude of abont 1,000 feet, and during the South Afâ€" rican war experiments were made to manipulate a camera from that height with the objeCt of securing photographs of the enemy's lines. The results were not very good; but a camera is not at all necessary for that purpose ii? a man. sent up in .the. air by kites, has a good know- ledge of What is required, and is capable of drawing simple, but ac- curate, plans of the enemy’s lines. An aerial warship would compel the nations to make drastic altera- tions in their anmaments, in the first place. For instance, naval guns are unable to fire upwardsâ€"that is, their upward elevation is very slight, and they could not concentrate direct fire on a machine hovering over the vesâ€" sel; and, to a 'very large extent, this applies to field artillery. It would become ossientiul to introduce an enâ€" tirely new Weapon into both Services to cope with That time will come when the fly- ing-machine reaches the same stage of evolution as the submarine vessel stands to-day, and, as to how long it “ill be before We see a really efâ€" ficient airship, everything must nec- essarily depend upon whether men “ill he found who will devote sufllci- ent energy to experimenting.

The nation which first gains posâ€" session of a really efficient airship, a. machine capable of travelling at a great speed and remaining in me air for hours, will simply revolutionize \vazizn'e. The possibilities of "War in the Air" is a problem which must neces- sarily depend so much upon, the deâ€" tails of the machines evolved. The great problem which must be first ova-come is to invent a. machine cap- able of carrying a great deal of am- munition, explosive shells, dynamite, and other highâ€"power powder. Up to the present the powers of bal- loons and (lyingâ€"muchines have not been capable of carrying much “dead Weight. As a matter of fact, inven- tors are devoting all their skill to reducing, Weight in the effort to per- fect a flyingâ€"machine.

The Hague Convention was re- sponsible for some stupid remarks some time ago on the question of War in the air: but it is almost im- pOSsible to define in exact terms what really does constitute an aerial machine. A rocket or a shell may be called an aerial machine. It flies through the air and falls to the ground, just as a flying-machine Would do, the only difl‘erence being whether there is a, man in it or not. Military flying-machines Have been built for various Governments, but none have turned out, to be efficient. Dr. Barton and Maxim built, ma- chines with the idea. of using them in warfare, and Langley built one for the American Government. Beâ€" cause all ellorts have failed up to now, limvever, I do not; see that it means permanent. failure. They are going ahead with aerial machines in America. just at present. and in a. few years We may see Englialimen take the problem in hand again. being dropped from an enormous height would be terrific in its results. With aerial Warships in action, aerial fortifications would become a necessity, otherwise sieges would only last as long as an "aerial enemy" permitted, whilst the un- protected parts of fortified townsâ€" and they would necessarily incluide the great naval dockyardsâ€"Would be at its mercy. Aerial fortifications conjure un uncanny visions to the mind's eye; FORTS IN THE CLOUDS. Reverting again to the cheat aerial warships would have on sieges, one must be struck with the great alter- ations which would have to be made in protecting fortifications. Forts would have to be protected with bomb-proof domes, and. even then, the cli‘ect of n. high-power explosive being dropped from an enormous height Would be terrific in its resultg gunpowder, and I do not anticipate that the tiring of a shot from an airship would throw the machine of! its equilibrium. There would liuve to be careful adjustment, of course; but presuming that a ship was trav- elling at, :1 great pace there should be little to fnar on the question of ba!ance.
