Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro- mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re- moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour- ished. But the roots must be there. If you wish your hair to retain its normal color, or If yott wish to restore the lost tint of gray or faded hair use Ayer's Hair Vigor. ••••••=1, OEM Do you know of a case wherein DONS MN PUS d to cure any -Ganey ailment ?

KILLED IN THE ELEVATOR. ••••••••11 A Man Drawn Into a Wheat Btu and tun- a:let:int tan?. (evens et Campbell's Chatham A despatch front Cbathera says.— A terrible fatality occurred at 2 inelock on Friday afternoon at the Stevens- Carolobell elevators, Wm. Green, who resides on Kent street, losing his life by suffocation in a. wheat Ian. It appears that Green. and Wan. Paulucci had been working during the morn- ing' in emptying wheat from one fleor to another and had cleaned the bin out five or six times. Fritley after - day afternrion they cleaned it out once and were working on it the aeriond time \shell the aceident accurred. Green thoughtlessly stuck his foot into the wheat over the (elute and. the suction pled him in. He slowly senk out of sight, despite the heron., efforts of his mate to drag Wan an to safety. He nearly loet his own life in the attempt to save his lueitless comrade: .There aret two ou,tiets to the bin, one in tile centre and the other in one corner. In the reanete corner from these are the bars, so that when Green found himself slowly sin.king to bis death he was too far away from the bars to grasp therm. As scion as Paulucci realized the terrible situation be seiz- ed a shovel end began an effort to dig away the wheat. whieh was draw- ing Green down 13y thin time, how- ever, Green was completely engulfed, and Peuluici saw immediately the hopelessness of his task. He hastened to the floor lteloe, where several of the bands were at work. Physicians were summonett and the workmen downstairs relinquished all thought of digging, the men out and transferred the chute, so that all the wheat fell on the floor of the first storey. 'When several hundred bush- els had come down through the hole thus raade the lifeless nody of the un- fortunate victim was seen to appear. Immediate steps were taken to resus- citate him in vain. Green had leen under the wheat for fully fifteen min- * tries, and aathougb the. physicicns lab- ored for a considerable time there came no signs of life. It is only about; three or four months eines Green ottairted • work at the mill. He was a steady, in- dustrious man and was well liked by all. He, however, had been in the bin dozens of times before, and must have understood the perils attached to such work, and that extreme caution had to he exercised. It seems to he the general opinion amone the mill banes that there was a certain amount of carelessness in Green's actitn there. ;Paulucci, himself says that be woula net do what Green did. The dereete ed lived on Kent street with his wife and two or tbree children. He was " about forty years of age. According to the trade reports of Messrs.Dunand Bradstreet., the condi. tion of business in the 'United States is good, but shows no marked- increase. The exports of wheat have expanded, and. for the past week have been the largest on record. The payments through the eiearing house are stated to be the largest ever known, and this of course, is a satisfactory indioa,tion of a substantial trade movement The de- 2nand for lebaux is also good, and an - pears to be augmenting. film demand for cotton is increasing.

In the oen,ter of a• huge lake of boiling roud and. eLime exists a. phenomenon abso- lutely unique„ and so, wonderful that tourists brave the difficulties of the long journey inland simply to see it. Soares of enormous bubbles are formed in the sticky slim.e lay the gases which arise from the lower aepths, end these grow and. increase to an enormoussize tooking like nothing so much as the large menet balloons sent up sometimes to ascertain the direction of the wind, These bubbles, some of them, intent a diaaneter of five or six feet before ahey burst, whiell they do with n loud explosion. The sounds are deacribed as resembling a oanattent series of heavy- elan:ewe fixing.

Far away out Le ?re deep Pacific Ocean exists a, small strip of land which! shows that it has a, decided, spirit and sweet little will of its own, for it will not undergo allegiance to any couutry. Governmenta often experience consid- erable trouble in preserving the Iegiance 01 peoples tney bane conquer- ed, but, as a rule, a piece of propertyi or real estate has been looked upon as likely to remain in the same place for a considerable period of time. This little island, which has received. the name of Falcon Island. proves an exception to the rule, however. NO emitter has it been annexed than it appears off the face of the globe, leave irtg pealy a dangerous reef to indicate its former whereabouts, and coming up in a few years' time, when the country which has performed the annexation has given up all claims. Our old friend, John Bull, always Oat the watch to increase his lingerie' em- pire, was the first to encounter it. In 1889 the British corvette Eger's, was sent on a cruise among the bmith bee I, slands. with orders from the British Admiralty to seize upon anY island* , or coral reefs that had bitherto been unclairaed and to take possession in the name of the Queen. Cruising around. !she noticed from afar off A PROMINENT ISLAND, toward witich sbe sailed. Tall paha 1 trees were growing an its southern ex- tremity, which was a comraanding bluff 1 rising 150 feet above the level of the !sea, Having reported the results of Ins ! voyage to the Admiralty, next year they sent out a transport ship with . orders to make further discoveries and. reports. 'What was the dismay of the • captain of tbe Egeria, wile happened to ' be in command of the transport, olf arriving at the place where he had the year before left the island sporting the. , uinon jack, to find that it had disap- peared from view! Instead of the beau- tiful island standing ant so promin- • ently from the ocean was a low 0.1111 dangerous coral reef, with the see I beating and surging up against it, ' Two years later, France also seized with the inordinate oesire of annexing new territory, sent the cruiser Duchat- fault to the Pacific. Cruising around she found ber way to Falcon. There, instead of finding a sunken reef, wbit- ened with the foam of the breakers, the vessel's crew discovered an island, the exact nape of the island found by the English corvette in 1889. Scaroely two years bad tassel away when a brig sent out by Fran ea to re- visit her possessions found her way to Falcon Island. It had again disappear- ed, it tieing simply a reef theager,ous to navigation. Whereupon France was obliged to give up all rights of pos- session. ONE MAN KILLED, FOUR INJURED, Explosion or a Threshing Boller on the Tarns of 31r. liardutuan, Near Sault Ste Marie. A despateh from Saint Ste. Marie says:—Friday afternoon at the farra of Mr. Harduraan, three miles from town, one young rman, Dania was kined, and four others seriously injured ny the boiler of a steam Uaresher expleding. The men had pet come out from dinner and were in their plitres ready to begin work when the expliosion occurred. The engineer was hurled through the air about forty feet and was badly bruised and scalded. McGill, who was stand- ing in front at the boiler, was carried sixty feet away, being hurled through the barn and out upon the straw stack. skuli was completely crushed, no- thing, being left but his fake, and both arms and legs were broken. It islike la that one of the others, whose skull was fractured, wila also die. HEAT OF THE SUN. Proa. Langley and Lord Kelvin agree that the temperature of the sun. is gabraonae. ttlaousand degrees °ma - The eminent Italian astronomer and mathematician, Seechi, gave it as his opinion that the temperature could be but little, if any, short of ten million degrees centigrade. Shorer thought it might be thirty- seven thousand degrees. Pouillet brought it down. to some- where between. one thousand four hini- ddergedrewand one thoueend eight hundred M. 13ecquerel's opinion was in sub- stantial agreement with that of Prof. Langley. M. St. Clair Deville declares that the' heat of the abler surface does not give evidenoe of being in excess of two thousand eight hundred degrees, M. Deville's conclusion is in accord- ance, elan with the conclusion arriv- ed at by Bunsen and Debray. Sir Robert Ball, Professor of Astron.- am,y at Cambridge, England, is quoted as rating the effective temperature of the S11n as probably eighteen thousand degrees. 011' COURSE NOT.
