G4owtller iirri a Simple Manner, About six hundred million eleetrie lamps are consumed in the world Avery year, and of these about thirty Million are made and used in Britain, Glass bulbs which used to be blown by a skilled glass - blower are. now made entirely by maahiriery, Every year some Sour thousand earthquakes sensible to human be- ings occur or these about seventy shake the whole : world, AL any, ino- nacaut there are about one thousand :hunderstorius in progress, about six- teen million being experienced in the world every year, while every second the surface of the earth sees one hun- dred flashes of lightning. These aro a few of the interesting facts about' science told in a simple manner by J. G. Crowther in his book "Scientee for You," Working in dark holes in the ground would seem to be disastrous to .health, but this is not so in at least one important case, Mr, Crow- ther tells us. Coal-inlners as a class are exceptionally freefrom consump- tion, and, as a general rule, the con - di -ions of ventilation, pressure, and temperature tend to make tbo atmo- sphere of a mine exceptionally healthy, As the pits get deeper there is a resulting increase in heat. At Pendle- ton Colliery, near,•Mahchester, sg land, which is 3,500 feet creep, there are stalls where the dry blub ther- mometer stands at 100 degrees F. The colliers lose considerable weight by sweating during each shift, which entails about five and three-quarter hours at the coal face. In very hot pits colliers sometimes suffer from cramp. When a man loses so much weight by sweating, be loses a certain :amount of salt from his system, and it was wondered whe- ther this loss of salt caused the cramp. The miners' were given water containing a teaspoonful of salt per gallon, and the symptoms of cramp disappeared. One often hears discussions on the relative merits of coal, gas, and elec- tric beating. The yearly domestic consumption of coal in Britain ap- proaches forty million tons, and coal - fire heating is much cheaper than any other except coke central heating. A room is warmed in two ways, by radiation and by convection, the former being the healthier form of heating for the human body. Central heating achieves nearly all its' heat- ing by convection, thus discounting to a great extent its cheapness. Gas fires and electric radiators give out slightly more heat by radiation than coal fires, but coal -fire heating is said to be the nearest approach to the sun. Arguments against coal are that it produces smoke, is wasteful, and makes work in the house. Three- quarters of the available heat in a bucket of coal goes up the chimney, and two or three million tons. of soot from domestic fires are dropped on England every year. Do you know why bread goes stale?' I. is not because it has become dry, for there is as much water in stale bread as in new. Staleness is due almost entirely to a change in collo- dial structure. The inside or crumb of the loaf is a soft, spongy sub- stance, largely consisting of colIoaiai parts of starch bound together by water. After a time these particles join toge:ber, causing the bread to become what is known as stale. On the average, continents are about eight times as deep as they are high. The Himalayas are about three miles high and twenty-four miles' deep. The earth's interior is remark- ably uniform.: There are three za{les: a co¢npaLa.tively thick crust of, say, thirty miles; a substratum of one thousand miles thickness, and a very tough heavy core about five thousand miles in diameter, probably an alloy or iron and nickel. Historic Island Sold. An island famous in Scottish his- tory, situated on Loch Lomond, has been sold by the Duke of Montrose to a private buyer. The duke announced recently his intention of disposing of various portions of his estate in order to meet death duties, and several lots have already been disposed of. The agents announced that the sale had taken place of 'nehmen:rise the largest island on Loch Lomond. On the island stand the ruins of the ancient castle of the Earls of Lennox, of which family Darnley, the second husband of Mary Queen of Scots, was a member. In September, 1439, Inchmurrin was the scene of the murder of Sir John Col- quhoun and his attendants, who were done to death by a party of Western Highlanders. Lawsuit Over Incises. A lawsuit was recently pending ' between a son and his mother in the Gothenburg 'County, which turns on the point whether English measui?e- monts are valid in Sweden. Before the plaintiff's father died, he sold his farm to his son, except for a forest, where the trees at breast height pleasured eight inches or more. The plaintiff armies that Swedish bathes are meant, while the defendant, his mother, claims them to be English. She has called in a number of wit- nesses, who state that English inches are,: generallyneed in the country, owing to the great industrial bel u- ejice of England in this part of Swe- den about 200 years ago. Radio Church :Tells. The very latest 'idea inbell music comes from Tintagel parish church, in Cornwall, England. This Church was the first in the country to bested a radio -gramophone :system; and this Proved so'sticc:essful that arrange- ments were made, recently to repro- duce reeords of bell masse by means of a moving -coil loud -speaker placed in the church tower. It is claimed that records of bells played in this way Cannot be distinguished from the roal thing. And, of course, the loud- speaker installation is much less ex- pensive than genuine bells would be. Tillers of the Soil. There are 741,800 agriculturaii �rorkers in the Old.

The arms of the Matthias Neill) are three diee with the sixes upper- most. One British duke, sixteen oth- er peers and eightevn baronets dis- play scallop shells on their shields. These are just a few of the many humors of heraldry, says the New York Times, and as likely as not there will be more in the near fu- ture, For when, at the beginning of the year, King George distributed a fresh lot of honors, he elevated to the peerage six notable citizens and conferred baroneteles on four more, and almost every time this happens a new coat of arms or erest comes in- to being 'which, designedly or other- wise, adds one more to the many chuckles that are to be derived from A perusal of Burke or Debrett or any other roster of the nobility. Up to the present, according to the College of Arms, none of the newly -created noblemen and, baronets not already- entitled to armorial bearings has decided what his will be. So we shall have to wait and see whether any of them will devise, or have devised for ;him, a shield or a pair of "suppor;.ers," or select a mot- to to go with them half so amusing or striking as some of those already existing. A pair of boots, neatly spurred, ap- pears on the shield of the former Sir Jesse Boot (now Baron Trent), and a bee -hive, surrounded by bees, is on that of Admiral_ Lord Beaty, whose name, of course, if pronounced "Bee- ty." Lord Cromer's shield has a bear's head, muzzled, with a ring in its nose, a play on the family name, Bar-ing. The seven acorns on the shield of Sir William Sevenoke recall the ro- mantic story of an infant, abandoned by his parents, who was found in a hollow tree near Sevenoaks, in Kent, and who carried the foundling name thus given him to the lord mayoralty of London and aknighthood. These are examples of the so-call- ed "Canting" arms, which are really pictorial plays on the names of their bearers, Similar plays on surnames have been the genesis of a large num- ber of armorial bearings — among others the three heads of Negroes (blaekamoors) of the Blackmores; the three herons of the Heroes, and the oxen, coots and hazel -leaves of the Oxeuden, Coote and Hazelrigg families. The arms of Whalley are three whales' heads; the Ramsdens, three rains' heads; the Knightleys display a lance, and the Merry - 'weathers have a sun and three mart - lets, signifying merry weather. The Bannermans display a banner on their shield; the -.Calls, three trumpets; the Butlers, three covered cups; the Fishers, a kingfisher, and the Beavors, a beaver. Other families make;, plays wail' their names in their mottoes, many of which are perfectly shameless puns. One such is that of the Weldon baronets, which is in Latin, "Well done!" Another is the "lefake Haste Slowly" of the earls whose came is Onslow. The motto of the Dixie fam- ily is a double pun, "Quod dixi dixi" ("What I have said, I have said") , while that of Viscount Cross is "Be- lieve in the Cross." The late Lord. Battersea. (formerly Cyril Flower) chose for his motto "God Gareth for the Flowers"; Lord Armstrong's motto is "Strong in Arms," and Lord. Cranbrook's "Arm- ed with Hardy Faith"—a play on the family name Hardy. Quite a number of newly -created noblemen in recent years have chos- en a heraldic device illustrative of the source of their riches, and it will be interesting to see if any of the latest hatch el peers follows this example. The foundations of the great Astor fortunes were, of course, laid in America by the original John Jacob Astor, lobo made millions out of the sale of furs; and this fact is recalled by the supporters of Lord Astor's shield—one a North American fur - trapper with a rifle and the other a North American Indian. Similarly, the supporters of the shield of Lord Glanusk, whose fortune was made out of coal mines, are a collier hold- ing' a pick and a smith armed with a. hammer. A lion, proudly rampant, bears ears of barley for Lord Wool- i avington of whiskey fame. The arms of Lord Nelson, a descen- dant of the great naval hero, are ap- propriately maritime. Exceptionally elaborate, they include bombs, waves of the sea, it disabled ship and the stern of a Spanish man-of-war, in- scribed. "San Joseff." For some obscure reason that even a College of Arms official confessed hiinself unable to explain, the 'shell of the scallop in the old days became emblematic of pilgrimages. The con- sequence is that, as has beenmen- tioned, no fewer than seventeen Eng- lish peers and eighteen baronets carry scallop shells on their arias as heraldic charges. Among these are the dukes of Montrose and the heads of branches of the Graham clan. There is quite a lot of amusement to be derived from contemplation of the astonishing menagerie depicted in a hook of heraldry. 'There are lions innumerable—lions rampant, passant and coucbant, and 'with every expres- Sion •from ferocity to an amiable im- becility. Pour of them are on the shield of Lord Baden-Powell (the B. i?, of earlier days) ; one figuresin thearms of Harrow school, whose founcl.er's name was Lyon; and an,- other, n•other, grasplug in its forepaws a "thunderbolt proper," is in the arms recently awarded to the British Broadcasting Company.

It acts as a drumhead, picking up the sound waves and transmitting then to the ossicles, the three small velli •c 1 bones b lie behind it in the middle ear, In addition to actiig as a drumhead the ear-deunl also serves as a barrier to keep out foreign substances. This is one reason why any break in the drum is serious as it exposes the mid- dle ear to infection from without, In order. to hear, it is not absol- utely necessary that the drum be in- tact, The extent to which any tear or hole in the drum may interfere with hearing depends upon the loca- tion and size of the injury. Behind the ear -drum is the middle. ear or tympanic cavity. Here are the ossicles, the three small bones for - ruing a series of levers which pass to the internal ear the vibrations re- ceived by the ear -drum. - The Eustachian tube,. which con- nects the middle ear with the throat, opens into the middle ear.. This ttibe serves as a passage for air and thus' keeps the pressure within the middle ear on the the inside of the drum, the same as the air pressure on the out- side of the drum. This quality of. pressure is important for proper hear- ing. If the Eustachian tube becomes blocked through inflammation or oth- er causes, air does not get in and hearing is interfered with. If there is infection of the nose or throat, it may spread to the Eustachian tube, and there is grave danger that if the nose is blown too strenuously,, someinfection will be forces( up the tube and will cause disease of the middle ear. The nose should not be blown forcefully at any time, but to do so when the individual is suffering from a cold in the head is to invite trouble of a very serious nature. The mastoid cells which open into the middle ear have nothing to do with hearing. They .ire similar to the head sinuses which drain into the. nose. They are .important 'because, in so many cases, when there is infec- tion in t!ie middle ear, this infection spreads into the hollow cavities of the mastoid, the bony prominence situ- ated, behind the ear. When this oc- cnhrs, we find a condition called mas- toiditis, which is serious and requires immediate care. Prevention of these -'condi conditions s hes in giving attention to the nose and throat. Trouble in the middle ear us- ually means infection ofthe nose or throat, Diseased tonils and adenoids are often responsible for abnormal ear conditions. Prompt and proper treatment of colds, measles and scar- let fever prevent the complication of middle ear diseases, Earache should never be neglected or regarded as merely requiring home remedies; it calls for skillful care if mastoid dis- ease is to be prevented and hearing, preserved. Care in blowing the nose, at all times, is fundamental in ear health.

During the Fall, Winter and Spring months he pur- chased 600 lbs, of this Poultry Specific, We rercived n letter from him the latter part of August, stating that he was amazed pt the results he obtained, that Isis poultry were entirely free from worms, and that during August of this year hie'prodgctieq-. was 100'% larger than last year, It will pay every poultryman, no matter what feed hells using, er if he mixes hie own, to add one pound of Royal Purple Poultry Specific to each hundred pounds of feed during the whole season the poultry, are shut in. While this great tonic de- stroys the worms, it at the same time tones up the birds, keeping their digestive organs active the same as if they were on range, committee then to take from 15% to 20% more good from the feed they gat. This is naturally reflected in increased egg production. Worms in poultry is often mistaken for other diseases. The birds become very thin and show symptoms of diarrhoea, • When badly infested they will die. Put up in 30c. and 60c. packages, $1.75 and $6.09 tins, also 100 -ib. air -tight bags—$14.00.
