Show CHINESE AFRAID OF THE OSTniCH LION King of Beasts Inferior to Olrd In Fighting Qualities. There It only one thing of which tho flea is afraid, according to Schillings, the young German African traveler, and that Is the ostrich. Tho bird It more fleet than the quadruped, and It can deliver lt terrible kick with tho precision and Impact of a pugilist' blow and spring away till It geta an other opening. Such tactics naturally disgust the superior being. The Hot, has a weakness, however, for ostrich eggs and will make a meal of them whenever the vigilance of the parent birds is related. Schillings saw a lion once with tho tempting pile of eggs before him. and he was about to re gale himself when the owners of tho property appeared and tho beast slunk off like a whipped cur. Schillings considers It Is an open question whether the hunting of the Hon, leopard, buffalo, elephant or rhinoceros Is the most On the whole, however, dangerous. he thinks that If he were hunting without supporting rifles In the hands of really great hunters he would rather take his chance with any of them than with the rhinoceros. This animal Is remarkably fleet, considering Its bulk, and when It makes a charge It Is next to Impossible to get away from It. Then Is the time when a comrade with a good gun and steady nerve Is needed to distract the ani- mal's atentlon. He Doesn't Curse Now. Washington, Kans., Dec. 23 (Speo lal) Jesse K. Mitchell Is a telephone lineman, and also a well known resident here. Everybody acquainted with Mr. Mitchell knows that he was a man who held very positive views about Patent Medicine. Hear what he says now: I used to curse all kinds of Patent Medicines, for they never did me any good, but Dodds Kidney Pills have caused me to change my mind. For twelve years I suffered from Kidney Trouble. There was a hurting across my back that made It positive agony to stoop, and as I am In a stooping position nearly all day, you can Imagine how I suffered. After a days work that any man would think nothing of, I would be tired and worn out. In fact, I was always tired. I began using Dodds Kidney Pills and after taking four boxes I feel like a new man, I am as fresh at night as when I begin work In the morning. I have no pain in my back now, and I am stronger than ever.

Sheet-Iro- n Phenomena of Chemical Reactions. Is there a wireless telegraphy In chemical reactions? In one of many recent experiments tending to give an affirmative reply, a largo quantity of a chlorate and sugar mixture was prepared, a little of this was placed In a basin and while the rest of the mixture was held behind the operator In a large mortar, strong sulphuric acid was added to the former, causing It to Ignite In the usual way. Immediately afterward the rest of the mixture blazed up, although It was Impossible that sulphuric ncld could have touched It It Is thought that a violent chemical reaction may convert the space In its Immediate vicinity Into a medium that will accelerate or even Induce chemical activity. If It be true the Importance of the Investigation cannot be overestimated. The preparations and violent reactions that go on from day to day In a laboratory may be altering the molecular arrangement of the substances In the neighborhood of the demonstrative benches. Those In charge of chemical laboratories testify to the unaccountable alterations In certain substances. Again, does weather Influence the communication between one chemical reaction and another? The results of the experiments changed from day to day. Purifies the Water. A recent Invention of a California man Is an apparatus for purifying wa- ter, and one which can also be used for aging liquids which have already been bottled. The liquid Is subjected to electrolytic action for removing all Impurities, whether they be in suspension or solution, and the liquid heated and any air within the bottle exhausted. In the illustration is shown a container, which can be of glass or similar material, having an electrode in tho bottom. The electrode is in the form of a platinum wire, which Is molded in the bottle. The neck of the bottle Is closed by a removable cork stopper, an electrode extending through the center. This electrode Is also made from a piece of platinum wire, and has its inner end, which is within the bottle, coiled, so that it can be adjusted to any length by stretching or contracting the coil, the wire Sheet-Iro- n Property of Housewives, Girls Are Harshly Dealt With.

Secured upon the electrode is a cap, which engages the lower end of the cork. The use and advantages of the invention will be readily understood. When an electric current from a battery, dynamo or other generator is passed through the two electrodes the liquid within the bottle will be subjected to electrolytic action, which will remove all impurities. In this way such liquids as beer, ale, porter, etc., which require the removal of all air, can be preserved. The current can be readily controlled by a rheostat or bank of lamps, so that the temperature to which the liquid is heated by the current can be controlled.
