I TO LIVE FOREVER.
Thomas Edison has perfected a j
storage battery which he says will
last indefinitely and revolutionize the
present propelling power.
Prof. Munyon says it Is only a
question of time until a remedy is .
discovered that will supply the waste !
of the human body, so that one may i
live on almost indefinitely, barring 1
accidents. This seems almost too !
good to be true, but nothing seems
to be impossible in these days when i
we consider the flying machine and
the wireless telegraph.
Prof. Muuyon has certainly revolu- !
tlonized the practice of medicine. He
does not believe in building hospitals
for consumptives. He says that consumption
can always be traced to a
cold_ Cure a cold and you nrevent ;
consumption. His Cold and Cough
Remedy will break up almost any
form of a cold in a few hours and |
positively prevent Bronchitis and ,
Pneumonia. To convince the medical j
world and people in general of the i
truth of his claims be has distributed
tnillions of vials of the Cold Cure, ab- \
aolutely free, from the leading news- j
paper offices throughout the country, J
and the cures that have been reported
from its use have been most astonishing.
These little sugar pellets contain
no opium, morphine, cocaine or
any harmful drug. They seem to relieve
the head, throat and lungs al- !
most immediately.
In order that no one may be de- I
prived of this remedy be has placed j
It with all the druggists throughout i
the United States for the small sum |
of 2o cents, or sent postpaid on receipt
of price, and wlti each bottle he
gives this guarantee: "If Munyon's
Cold and Cough Cure does not do all ;
that Is claimed for It, I will refund !
your money."
There are four advantages in taking
Munyon's Remedies. First, they
are absolutely harmless. Second, they
are pleasant to take. Third, they re- ;
lieve almost immediately. Fourth,
they cost nothing unless they give j
satisfaction.

3,346.106 COEDS OF WOOD
IN 2,118,047 TONS OF PULP
Mills Paid $28,000,000 For Raw
Material, Including Mill Waste
---Spruce, Hemlock and Poplar
Two hundred and fifty-one pulp
mills in the United States used 3,- '
346,106 cords of wood and made 2,118,947
tons of pulp last year. Spruce
has always been the leading pulp
wood, and it furnished 64 per cent,
of the total quantity used. The rapid
development of the wood pulp industry
in the last ten years has rendered
the domestic supply of spruce
insufficient to meet the demands upon
it, and consequently importations
from Canada have been heavy. In
1908 our pulp mills consumed nearly
1,500,000 cords of imported spruce,
making the imports of spruce nearly
45 per cent, of the domestic supply.
Next to spruce, the most impor
tant pulp wood is hemlock, of which
569,173 cords were converted into
pulp last year. All the hemlock used
was of domestic origin, and most of it'
was produced in the lake States and i
Pennsylvania. Although now used in ,
less quantity than spruce and hem- j
lock, poplar has long been a standard i
pulp wood. A small quantity of pop- |
lar is imported, but by far the larger j
portion of the more than 300,000 i
cords used last year was cut from
domestic timber. Spruce, hemlock
and poplar made up 90 per cent, of
the total quantity of pulp wood used.
The remainder was supplied by many j
species, the most important of which ;
were pine, cottonwood and balsam. I
The wood used by the pulp mills ,
1 X Xl lliiU !
last year cost iuem a inuc uiui c iua.u
$28,000,000, or an average of $8.38 i
a cord, against an average of $8.21 I
in 1907. The most costly wood used J
was imported spruce, with an average 1
valne of $10.60 a cord. The average .
for domestic spruce was $8.76 a cord 1
and for poplar $8.04 a cord. The ;
cheapest wood that was used in large j
quantity was hemlock, the cost being '
$6.02 a cord. Owing to the uncer- i
tain business conditions the total con- '
sumption of pulp wood in 1908 was j
nearly 16 per cent, less than in 1907, |
but this did not prevent an increase j
in the price of wood. The high price \
of wood is keeping the manufactur- I
ers constantly on the outlook for
cheaper raw material, and one of the j
most encouraging developments has |
been the increased use of slab wood j
and other saw mill waste. This drift
in the industry is clearly indicated I
by the fact that 193,234 cords of i
mill waste were reported as consumed
in pulp manufacture during
1907, while 252,896 cords, an Increase
of 30 per cent., were used in |
1908.
These statements are based upon
a preliminary report of the consump- j
tion of the pulp wood in the United
States in 1908 just issued by the !
Bureau of the Census. The Bureau
of the CensuB and the Forest Service '
co-operate in the collection of an- ]
Qual statistics of forest products, and :
this preliminary report will soon be !
followed by a bulletin, which will
give detailed information upon the I
use of pulp wood last year in the 1
various States, the cost for cord, the !
amount reduced by the mechanical, j
sulphite and soda processes and oth- i
sr facts of interest to the industry.
What if the World Stopped?
Suppose that some mysterious pow- j
5r, entirely mental or spiritual in its i
nature, and of a high order of intel- i
lect, a mentality or soul absolutely I
acquainted with the human mind j
even down to minute details, should
iesire to make an announcement, a |
statement to mankind in general, how
would it proceed to attract attention? j
[ have thought of a few ways or methods
which would attract the attention
if man. Thus, suppose that at exact
noon in the observatory in Washing- j
ton or Greenwich, all the telegraphic j
instruments on earth should instant
ly refuse to work. Let every wire on
laud and in cables beneath the sea
lease to act. Let every key come to
rest and every sounder be silent. Imagine
this silence to continue five
minutes. The attention of all telegraph
people would be attracted and
then that of newspaper men. Let ten ;
minutes pass, and businessmen would \
hear of the phenomenon. Let the j
trouble continue during an hour, then i
everybody living in cities might hear ,
that the telegraphs were lifeless. In j
ane year, perhaps, half of the human :
race would hear of the disturbance. ,

Sewage Disposal in Europe.
That the last word with reference j
to the treatment of sewage has not ;
yet been said seems manifest from j
the processes adopted by and appar- !
ently growing in favor with many of ;
' V> c* lor arc* Uomhr PO
'W* t,V l^Ui V^/V?4M VIViVW. e, !
Cologne, Dresden, Liverpool, Belfast, j
Bristol, Hull and many smaller cities j
have adopted the dilutionsystem. The
sewage is screened of all floating mat- j
ter and is then turned into the ad- ;
jacent rivers, without chemical treat- :
ment, and the result seems to he en- j
lirely satisfactory. As the cities of j
Europe are older than our own it is j
but natural that the question of the .
treatment and disposal of sewage
should have received longer and more
?areful study than has heen given it
in this country. In point of fact, Europe
leads us in sewage purification
matters, and, though the subject has
by no means heen exhausted abroad,
American engineers can learn much
from the nlans adonted for the treat- i
ment of sewage by cities across the '

What is claimed as the largest ani

colossal skeleton in the museum o
Christ Church, New Zealand. This i
the remains of a large specimen of tb
blue whale stranded on the coast o
that country. This whale is probabl:
the 1/irgest of all living animals. Th<
length of the skeleton is eighty-sevei
feet, and the head alone is twenty
one feet. The weight of the bones i
estimated at nine tons. This giganti
whale gets its name of blue whal'
from the dark bluish gray of its up
per surface. The tinge of yellow oi
its lower part has led to the nam
"sulphur bottom," by which it i
known on the western side .of the At

k ( By HOLMAN DAY. 1 \
On Little Spruce Island on the I
5- Maine coast I found three old men, '
n brothers?William, Daniel and Nehe- j
it miah Shanks. They have lived there j F
# all .their lives in a tumble-down little j F
shelter. They are melancholy old j n
d men. They are contented, but the | t
sea has brought to them a strange, ! r
brooding, wistful solemnity. William J v
? and Daniel never married. Nehemiah j r
e has had a poor little romance that ; e
g broke his heart. He went home with 1 t
s his confession of wrong-doing,
d "Then you must look out for the ^ I
b boys after I'm dead," said his father, | 1
forgiving him. Nehemiah has spent' t
i- his life "looking out for the boys," ; t
is who are now infirm old men. "It is i I
my duty in return for my father's 11
3- pardon of my wrong-doing," he told I
w me, "and I have tried to do my best, j
d I am the youngest, and I am best able j r
d to work." i' i
g For more than twenty years Will-j t
it iam has never come out of the hoit s
it into the sunshine. He told me that 8
e he feared the sun might heat his ; 1
I- brains and interfere with his life- e
n work, which is the composition of c
3, poetry. s
is While William idlee, Nehemiah
i- tills the little garden, catches fish, t
digs clams and cooks. He is cheer- r
d fully the burden-bearer, and with b
8 some pride says that he is the head \
e of the family; for when his father J
h imposed the trust on him he did so c
d with a ceremony truly patriarchal; d
> he gave into Nehemiah's hands the c
staff on which he had leaned for many t
d years, saying that it should be the o
>f badge of Nehemiah's authority. Nehe- c
e miah described the scene to me,;tears s
d trickling down his wrinkled cheeks, c
e Memory was only a partial spur to i
e this grief. ! ^
y Daniel, after more than sixty years I
I. of obedience, had become a most t
i- amazing rebel. He had declared that c
> another flood had been prophesied to ?
n him in a vision, and that he had been c
s- ordered to build an ark on Little f
d Spruce. Little Spruce is owned by a t
i- lady in Boston, as part of an exten- t
I. sive holding of islands. The Shanks i
i- brothers have been permitted to re- i
I- main as squatters on condition that
w . they do not disturb the standing tim- i
n ber. Nehemiah gave this promise to ^
il the manager of the estate. ^
s I Daniel, though threescore and ten, s
w took the family axe, hand-saw, and j
". 1 hammer and proceeded to his labors c
f on his ark. Nehemiah stood in front i
is of the lordly spruce that Daniel was r
o about to attack with the axe, and in
h the name of .the Shanks family for-,
e bade him to chop. Daniel had the
e teal of monomania and insisted. Then
>u , rvenemian Druuuivueu me lawny emu i ^
d and threatened to chastise the disobe6
dient son of their father. Daniel, in ! *
e a frenzy, made at his brother with t
e the axe, routed him, captured the t
s staff, chopped it up, and then began j.
)- ; an the tree. He laid waste quite a x
e section of woodland before Nehemiah ^
e got word to the agent. Then in high
II dudgeon Daniel built a shack of his
!- own. He lives in it and refuses to
* speak to his brothers.
j "I still hope to be able to meet fa- s
e ther at the door of heaven and tell t
J, aim that I kept the Shanks family
e I together and kept it decent, as he
d would have liked to have me keep it," ?

j It would seem to be the ambition of

y the financial departments of the Vat- c

s j templating a number of important B
c i changes within the walls of the Vat- r
