This pure vegetable preparation is just as good as it tastes; just as bland and just as harmless as the recipe reads. ? i When Baby's cry warns of colic, a few drops of Castoria have him soothed, asleep again in a jifTy. Nothing is more valuable in diarrhea. When coated tongue or bad breath tell of constipation, invoke its gentle aid to cleanse and regulate a child's bowels. In colds or children's disaases, you should use it to keep the syiUm from clogging. Cast oris is sold in every drug store; the genuine always bears Chas. II.

Movement commences along i he waterfront,. where the rattle of donkeyengine Is heard, the clanking of large ' chains, and the hoarse cries of the) second males starting their gangs ut i the day's work of cargo-handling. All t hat takes place ill MliY of tlifi 1Spauish cities on the "Mar Cuntn- j hrlco." as the Hay of Biscay is called I m the mother tongue. But ut Bilbao I there are two incidents that occur in the early morning which apparently ?ire untune to this, the largest of the j B:|v?)Ue cities of Spain. Number one The oil binqcs of the . ai guleros are extinguished. Now. j ar.guh-ros are fishermen who s lice ! tiit'ln ght have been engaged in a pe ; illi;ir brunch of the fisherman's art. I l ev have In i'ti catching angolas, and 111ga'asin turn, are a very peculiar | brai d lish littU? while, almost t ra s . ! nt vv onus (perhaps it would j s.u,nd belter to < all them niiniat tire | ilvt otf.v two niches Mug. When a batch of them ts fried however, in ' live oil iitnl served in an earthenware ash. with the oil still popping when i nrougbt to the table, most connois ' s,Mtrs will agree that there is method I in the anguleros' apparent madness i This delicacy inhabits the Uiver Ner i vioti and is caught along the stone walls of tlve quays, being attracted In to nets by the fishermen's oil lamps Women Stevedores of Bilbao. Number two. The shrieks of barefooted. lily-clothed women stevedores are heard.* This requires the explanation that Bilbao, the most important port of Spain after Barcelona, derives Its prominence from the heavy outwnrdhound traffic in iron oro from nearby mines and the correspondingly heavy imports of coals from Newcastle to furnish fuel for the many Rasque in (lustrte*. The iron ore Is loaded with modern equipment silnn.fi: the river, hut the eoul Is often mtlojoled by hand or, perhaps to he more explicit, hy head. Women almost exclusively aVe em ployed Iri till** dainty occupation. Fvery day a Continuous line is to he seen moving.-up one anna-plank, with hushel basket In htitnl, and down another to ttic coal hills on shore, with it licnpina I risk e| fu| >j[ coal balanced on each head. When these toilers anther, shortly after day break, to begin work, there tsii a ret it row that lias to do with preferred places in the line, there he nig some gang plunks slightly nearer t'> the coal heaps than others. VMhao is eialit miles up the Itivcr Nervion from the sea. Numerous towns-, -.Mine of them devoted to ship huihlhr.:. iron foiimlcies and smelters, line both -ides of the stream between the port and the sea. At the mouth of i he Nervioii are twin cities. Las Arena- on the ii'_ht hank: and I'ortuaalete on the let!. People are transported between the towns in a unique manner ? Flying Ferry Is Unique. On each river edge is a great tower >f steel, something like a wirel ss !"w er.?It+h?more?inassl v I'.?nvtM'?t WO " hundred feet in heiglp. These towers support a light iron bridge ?um. Hundred and lifty feet above the* river, under which the largest steamers pass and repass night and day. From this bridge is suspended a "dying ferry" supported by a network of fine wire, which Is pulled hack and forth across the river. It hangs to within a few feet of the water. One crowds onto the ferry, the whistle blows, the hell rings, the Iron gate clangs shut, away one moves smoothly out over the river through the air. as it were. The opposite shore is reached in a minute, hut It Is a rather delightful little minute at that. Portugalete has narrow streets, und its balconied houses stretch picturesquely up the hillside, while at the top is an enchanting little Gothic church, which is always the -way In Spanish towns. They always seem to cluster around a church or two fur protection. Indeed, In Bilbao, there -are 4K*-le*t? than -se-vetttyttvtrof Ttn^tF" protectors. I.as Arenas, opposite Portugalete. Is a modern village of seashore villas which has become popular as n summer resort. Here the Club Maritime has Its pleasant club house, overlooking the harbor entrance. For administrative purposes Spain is divided into forty-nine districts or provinces. Regionalism Is so strong that one may almost continue and slate that there are also forty nine national languages, forty-nine nation a I costumes forty nine nutn mil da 11 < es, and. !a>t ton hy no means least, fortvnine nut :?>n;il dishes. This would, perhaps, lie a slight exaggeration, hut the fact remains tli.it the iiiha l>i I a ii I s of each district differ noticeably in characteristics from all the others, a man from Barcelona Is lirst a Catalan and second a Spaniard. Likewise mi inhabitant of Coruna is less Spanish than tinllego and a person from Bilbao places his Basque nationality before his Spanish adherence, and so on.

NluHfoir Island.?Tli?* discovery of a new wave length in the Mpectru of the sun's corona and further Information on the movement* of the moon ; were announced recently hy American rjefitlst* a* the fruit* of their observation of the solar eclipse here.

Mitchell, scientific head of the American naval observatory expedition, caught manifestations of the heretofore unknown wave length, which allowed Itself 0,770 ungHtrom units. An angstrom unit Is onediundred-nillllonth of a centimeter. The data Is expected to he useful In computing movement of the moon and In forecasting future eclipses. Coronal disturbances on both the east and west edges of the sun were recorded. These appeared to have had "their origin In eruptive prominences. The detail shown in the spectrograph^ lines of the coronium (chief constituent gas of the cor.ona) did not resemble that 'exhibited hy the prominences,* ' Changes in coronal forms shown by the successive spectra indicated violent motions In Hie Inner corona. These disturbances could he traced to as far as KMi.nOO miles beyond the sun's surface, and. as far as Is kriftwn, never have been observed befojvC.. Development of photographic plates today indicated -the expedition had been successful beyond expectations. A shortage of fresh -water delayed developing. This became a difficult Job when fresh water had to be brought ashore from the L'. S. S. Tanager | and protected from lava dust blown j in by trade winds. Photographs of exceptional beauty J and detail were obtained, especially nine plates from the slxty-three-foot tower camera and three from the slxtr-flvr-font horizontal camera, constructed as an afterthought from scrap material and a spare lens. Beautiful coronal streamers, with especially Interesting strawberryshaped domes, were conspicuous on plates of all cameras. The data indicates the totality was of 93.9 seconds' duration. Successful photographs of the flash spectrum were obtained both at the beginning and end of totality. Arson Changing With Times, Marshal Finds Madison.
