Over nine feet of thi3 rough ir<

It has long been an accepted theoi
that oast iron ie injured by a succe
sion of shocks. It has been suppos<
that the iron becomes brittle and t
most worthless. Tests have bei
made to establish the facts in tl
case. Pieces of iron were utruok thn
thousand times with a hammer. Tl
gain in strength was from ten to fi
teen per cent. A number of iron ro<
were placed in a box and shaken
order to free them from the sand i
the molds, and to give them a sligl
smoothness smd polish. They we:
shaken for a long time and then te
ted, when they were found to t
about fifteen per cent, stronger tht

that continual beating or tapping s<

not unlike welding. Tbis is an ir
portant discovery, as it gives the bei

without any of the objections to th
process. Heat sometimes changes tl
chemical composition of the iron at

tests are to be made, those alreac

t. Wonders of the Persian fclnlf.
;h Sir Henry Mance, in speaking of the
varied experiences which are specially
th incident to the life of a submarine
bk telegraph engineer, says that natural
phenomena are occasionally witnessed

would appear incredible,

Q. he has seen during a thunderstorm
ie lightning displays which baffle descripa

ja mysterious fire circles will sweep over
thti surface of the sea at a speed of 100

a seldom witnessed and has never satistj

w While steaming along the coast of
to Beloochistan, Sir Henry has often been
le called from his cabin at night to gaze
at on the more common phenomenon of a
miiky sea, the water for miles around
in being vividly white and luminous.
It In the same locality he has known

The Compound should be taken immediately upon the appearance of any of
these symptoms above enumerated. It is a vegetable tonic which invigorates
and stimulates the entire female organism, and will produce the same bene*
ficial results in the case of any sick woman as it did with Mbs. Chas. King, 1815
Rosewood St., Philadelphia, Pa., whose letter we attach;
" I write these few lines, thanking you for restoring my health. For twelve
years I suffered with pains impossible to describe. I had bearing-down feeling?,
backache, burning sensation in my stomach, chills, headache^ and always
black specks before my eyes. I was afraid to stay alone, for I sometimes had
four and five fainting spells a day. I had several doctors and tried many patent
medicines. Two years ago I was so bad that I had to go to bed and have a
trained nurse. Through her, I commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham't
Vegetable Compound, and I never had anything give me the relief that it h**,
I have taken eight bottles, and am now enjoying the best of health again. X
can truthfullv sav it has cured me."
