Monument.
If we were to assemble all
those who have been cured of
heart disease by Dr. Miles’
Heart Cure, and who would
to-day be in their graves had
hot Dr. Miles’ been successful
in perfecting this wonderful
heart specific, they would pop
ulate a large city.
What a remarkable record—
a breathing, thinking, moving
monument, composed of human
lives,—that for which every
other earthly possession is sac
rificed.
The Miles Medical Co. re
ceive thousands of letters from
these people like the following:
“I feel indebted to the Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure for my life. I desire to call
the attention of others suffering as I
did to this remarkable remedy for the
heart. For a long time I had suffered
from shortness of breath after any
little exertion, palpitation of the heart;
and at times terrible pain in the region
of the heart, so serious that I feared
that I would some time drop dead upon
the street One day I read one of your
circulars, and immediately went to
my druggist and purchased two bot
tles of the Heart Cure, and took it
according to directions, with the
result that I am entirely cured. Since
then I never miss an opportunity to
recommend this remedy to my friends
who have heart trouble; in fact I am
a traveling advertisment, for I an*
widely known in this locality.”

despread interest in '
doming as it does on
loject broached by
Parsons, of England,
rle 12 miles into the earth.
Ific world has much food for
ation.
Prof. Parsons estimates that to sink
a shaft 12 miles deep would cost $25,000,- (
000, and that it would require 85 years !
to accomplish it. This shaft, cut down
into the earth, would represent the
equivalent of a hole one foot deep in a
mass 666 feet thick. It would solve
many questions that the scientific knowl
edge of the world has left unanswered,
yet it would investigate only the crust
and leave thousands of miles of the in
terior mass still untouched.
The amount of compression at the
globe’s center should, to some extent at
least, define the character of the mass
of which it is formed. It is argued that
the great mass of the interior of the earth
is solid. Against the contention that
the planet, under a crust 25 miles thick,
is a mass of fiery liquid Nkarrayed the
fact of the known density of the globe j
That density in the earth’s entirety it j
. r er i.|mAn *-l>« sl/vr.r.i + .r /v# IUa nrniAO 1
that covers three-quarters of the sur
face.
The assumption of a comparatively
thin crust requires, according to Sir
William Thompson, that this crust:
should have a rigidity possessed by no |
known substance. The sun. exerts such a !
strain upon the substance of the earth j
that the planet could not maintain its j
shape as it does, he maintains, unless the
supposed crust were at least 2,000 or
2,500 miles in thickness.
There is a gradual increase in thetem- j
perature while penetrating the surface J
of the crust. This increase in some Io- j
calities is as rapid as one degree for each !
56 feet of descent; in others one degree i
for 75 to 85 feet.
In the Comstock silver mines of Ne- j
vada, at a depth of 3,065 feet, water has !
a temperature of 170 degrees, Fahren
heit. The deepest excavations in the
earth are at the Calumet and Hecla cop
per mines in Michigan, where the longest j
perpendicular shaft goes down 4,900 j
feet, while one of the standing shafts J
Is more than 8,000 feet in length.
There are in these mines 250 miles of,
lateral galleries. Colossal engines are
required t» ventilate the immense sub
terranean city and to keep the tempera
ture endurable in the lower levels. All
deep mine borings prove how stupend
ously difficult would be the task of de
scending below the mile level.
At the lowest, rate of increase in the:
temperature in penetrating the eart h, the
heat at the depth suggested by Mr. Par
sons. 12 miles down, would be 800 de
grees Fahrenheit. This heat, though far
from the fusing point of wrought iron,
(3,280 degrees), would render the use
of tools, even if the lower borings of the j
shaft were constructed as they are In oil j
wells, a difficult process. It would defy !
the most colossal scheme of artificial re-!
frigeration to render such depths avail- I
ible for entrance by human beings.
No considerations of commercial ben- j
efit enter into the plans of Mr. Parsons J
in suggesting the 12-mile boring into the .
crust of the earth. It is a scheme purely !
it the interest of scientific knowledge, j

ODD WILL OF RICH MAN.
Nephew Will Inherit Fortune from
Uncle After Serving Three
Tears as a Soldier.
“That he shall serve at least one full
term of not less than three years in '
the ranks of the United States army,

charge shall read: ‘Service honest and j
faithful, character excellent,’ and shall '•

[ herewith appoint a letter of com
mendation from the officer under whom
he served, I bequeath to the said George 1
0. Travia the sum of $130,000, knowing j
that, after such service, he will have ;
had enough experience of the world and
disciplinary training to insure the
proper disposal of what has taken me a
lifetime to accumulate.”
Such are the terms of the will of the
late S. Houston, a wealthy man of Chi
cago, made to his nephew, George 0.
Travis, a telegraph operator of Okla
homa. The other day the young man
became of age and appeared at the Unit
ed States army recruiting office and en
listed for the purpose of carrying out
the dying request of his uncle.
Mr. Houston was an old soldier, hav
ing served in the civil war in the Fourth
United States artillery. Unable to con
tinue an army career. Houston, having
no sons of his own, was determined that
his next of kin, his nephew, should be
come a soldier.
Young Travis said it was not neces
sary for his unde to make that clause
in his will which makes service in the
United States army compulsory for him,
as he had always intended to enter the
army as soon as he was 21.

MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS
Inquiries Made by Representatives ol
Powers at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers."
Inquiries have been received in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria,
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen ot
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gcr in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children—
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moccasins are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en v»»llftw hv a nppnliar nrocpss nf
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings, and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocca
sin leather still comes from the
place of its origin, Pawtucket,
R. I., although a considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing,
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
ai-e not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
g?"eatdemand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
now seems likely that “Bangor's
golden slippers,” as moccasins are
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD,
Her Crew Made a Brave Start, Bat
Couldn’t Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Lifie.
She was built in England,
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her; bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The
trouble only began when she came
back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to stow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.
From this to having the best
mentally-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been a very rapid one.
Insect Senses.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say.it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp that unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.
