A hunter describes the sport: "Wt suddenly came on our first crocodile About a mile from c&mp, asleep on the bank, with its mouth open, not more than twenty yards from us. It started to get away, but I fired two ehots as quickly as I could get them off, the first into its open moutn and the second into its neck as it turned its head. That stopped it effectually and it never got into the water. The next day we found another crocodile and my friend got it just above tbe shoulder. That was sot enough to stop it, but we both fired as it was getting into the water and one bullet hit it in front of the quarters.

The case which follows will be read with great interest by all sufferers as it affected the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. who was the victim of the attack, residing at No. 19 Winter street, Newbury port, Mass., says : In Jane of 1903 1 was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. I sent for a physician who pronounced my disease chronic erysipelas and said it wonld he a long time before I got well. ' Inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and seemed bulging ont of their sockets. I was in a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain throughout my body. The doctor said my case was a very severe one. Under his treatment, however, the inflammation did uot diminish aud the pains which shot through my body increased in severity. After being two mouths under his care, without any improvement, I dismissed him. Shortly after this, on the advice of a friend, I began to take Dr. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People, two at a dose thre- - times a day. After the secoud box had een nsed I was surprised to notice that the inflammation was going down aud that the pains which used to cause me so mnch agony had disappeared. After using six boxes of the pills I was np and around the house attending to my household duties, as well as ever.

From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles, writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me.- Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach.

For generation there was a crying need, a yearning for something better, which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came in the shape of the chemical compound, Calcium Carbide, from which, by the simple application of water, the gas Acetylere is derived. Acetylene meets all the requirements fully and admirably and is being generally used. Common lime and carbon In the form of coke or coal are the raw materials which, fused in an Intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and there is no difficulty in obtaining It in any part of the country.

Crown of a Drill Lost in th Earth in South Africa. The Recovery of a Diamond Crown From a Deep Bore Hole," Is the title of a paper read by Cuthbert Baring Horwood before the Institution ol Civil Engineers and reproduced by permission in the American Machinist The diamonds were in the crown of a drill lost 3,233 feet below the surface of the ground. The risk involved in the accident was that the hole might have to be abandoned enAccording to Mr. Horwood tirely. this would have meant (1) A years work wasted; (2) probably nine months delay before the same depth could again be reached in another hole; (3) loss of the total amount spent up to that time (about $40,000) ; (4) loss of $1,150 worth of diamonds ; (5) loss owing to depreciation of plant and machinery for one year; and other incidental losses. The diamond drill was lost while boring the Van Ryn Reef. ' Operations were begun in 1902 on a farm on the far Blast Rand, about thirty-thremiles from Johannesburg. When the work had proceeded for more than a year and the bore hole had reached a depth of 3,233 feet the bit became jammed, and the rods were consequently withdrawn. When the core barrel was drawn up it was found that it contained no core and the diamond crown was missing. Iu order to recover this precious tool and clear the way for further operations a special tap was made in This tool was six Johannesburg. inches in length, of which 1 inches were threaded to screw into the bottom rod and the other end held four small diamonds, as shown in the diagram of the lower part. They were designed to cut through and beyond the rock, working inside the crown, which the engineers figured must have become imbedded in rock. It did its work perfectly and speedily. By use of this tool a loss of over $40,000 was saved. All the diamonds were found to be intact; there were eight diamonds on the face of the beneath. , Tour grocerTeturns your money it you don't tike Schilling's Beat. h, RITUAL OF THE ESKIMO. sults. tea-drinke- LONG REACH FOR DIAMONDS.
