PECULIAR PROPERTIES
OF NEW
Cooper Preparation Attracts Widespread At
tention by Expelling Internal
Parasites.
The Interest created In leading cities
during the past year by young Mr.
Cooper with his new preparation, is
largely accounted for by a peculiar
quality possessed by this medicine,
which he calls his New Discovery.
Mr. Cooper believes that internal
parasites, or tapeworms, are respon
sible for much ill health, and it is an
undoubted fact that his medicine has
expelled immense numbers of these
creatures in various cities visited by
him. The young man also believes
that stomach trouble is the main cause
of all ill health. He claims that few
can have poor health with a good di
gestion. He further claims that his
New Discovery medicine does nothing
but tone up the stomach, yet it not
only expels the parasites, but relieves
many other ailments not as a rule as
sociated with stomach trouble.
Little Jessie Birdsall, daughter of
Mrs. Ida Birdsall, living at 2138 Car-
roll Avenue, Chicago, is among many
relieved of a large parasite by Mr.
Cooper’s preparation during Ms stay
in that city. In speaking of the mat
ter to Mr. Cooper, the mother said:
the trouble was. She was extremely
nervous; the least little thing would
upset her; her tongue was coated, and
at times she would have a good ap
petite, then again could not bear the
sight of food; she was restless at
night, had a bad breath, especially
when she got up of mornings. We
tried everything to relieve her, but
met with no success. We were just
on the point of giving up trying any
thing else, when we began to read of
Cooper’s New Discovery. Several days
ago we purchased this medicine. Jes
sie has been using it regularly, and
this morning this parasite left her
system. I don’t wonder that she has
always felt bad, and nothing we would
give her seemed to relieve her. Now
that she is relieved of this tapeworm
I feel sure that she will grow better
each day, and enjoy perfect health.
Mr. Cooper, your medicine is worth a
thousand times more than you chargo
for it. I know of a number of people
troubled the same way as Jessie has
been, and I certainly expect to tell
them personally to try your medicine.’*
We would advise anyone who has

Lights and Sounds
Puzzle Scientists..
Two remarkable phenomena Lave re
cently tieen the subjects of scientific
investigation and discussion. Profess
or John Milne Interested the members
of the British Association For the Ad
vancement of Science at Its recent
meeting with an account of his experi
ments with an unexplained light ema
nating from a chalk pit near his bouse.
On dark nights he has seen the pit
glowing with a soft radiance, the !u ;
tensity of which alternately increases
and decreases. The light i^pears to
come from the rooks themselves.
This is not the only Instance of un
explained lights emanating from the
earth. Sometimes they are seen It
connection with earthquakes. 1 do not
remember that anything of the kind
was recorded at the time of the San
Francisco earthquake, but durlug the
Valparaiso earthquake, later in the
same year (UHHJ), the simulacrum of
chain lightning was observed playing
along the hilltops. But there were no
thunderstorms and no atmospheric dis
turbances to account for the pbenome
ua. At the time of the great earth
quake that was so disastrous in Cala
bria iu September, 1005, the luminous
apparitions accompanying the shaking
of the grounl terrified the people.
Professor Galli thinks that an ex
planation of these luminous spectacles
may be found by supposing them to
be due to inflammable gases released
from the underlying rocks and soil
and Ignited by the frictional beat re
sulting from the vibrations in the crust
of the earth. This may truly explain
some of the appearances, but not all of
them. The “flames” seen are no doubt
open to this explanation, but hardly
the phosphorescent lights, the fiery col
umns moving across the landscape,
the “slow lightning” or the balls of
lire. All of these phenomena suggest
the effects of electricity. This, more
over. is the idea entertained by Pro
fessor Milne, who thinks that a part
of the mechanical energy expended m
the grinding together of rocks during
au earthi|\ »':e may produce electrical
discharges through friction.
The ether strange phenomenon to
which 1 have referred belongs to the
realm of acoustics. It consists of unex
plained sounds originating no one
knows where, whether in the earth

Years sometimes pass without their
being heard, and then they recom

These sounds wherever heard are
generally grave, heavy, resonant, like
the echoes of faroff thunder or of a
distant exp'oslou. They occur on calm
days, when the heavens are clear and
the air serene. It is a popular notion
that this presages bad weather, but all
attempts to connect them with storms
or to trace them to any certain source
have failed. They occur with equal
frequency iu winter and summer. In
Italy it has been remarked that they
seem to be confined to mountainous
districts and are unknown, for in
stance, iu the plain of Lombardy. On
the other hand, they are heard some
times on the shores of the Low Coun
