Sick
Headache
When your head aches, there
( v is a storm in the nervous sys
tem, centering in the brain.
This irritation produces pain
in the head, and the turbulent
| nerve current sent to the stotn
I ach causes nausea, vomiting.
This is sick headache, and
is dangerous, as frequent and
k prolonged attacks weaken the
3p brain, resulting in loss of
memory, inflammation, epi
lepsy, fits, dizziness, etc.
Allay this stormy, irritated,
aching condition by taking
iDr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills.
> They stop the pain by sooth
ing, strengthening and reliev
ing the tension upon the nerves
—-not by paralyzing them, as
do most headache remedies.
Dr. Miles’ Anti-Pain Pills do
'not contain opium, morphine,
chloral,cocaine or similar drugs.

MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
EFFECTS OF ALTITUDE ON THE
HUMAN FRAME
Former Incredulity Regarding At
tainment of Great Heights Dt»
palled by Feats of Moun
taineers.
Three years ago one of the leading
mountaineers of Europe expressed the
opinion that the limits of high ascents
had about been reached He did not
believe the human animal could stand
up and work in the increasing rarefac
tion of the air above an elevation of
23,000 feet. He bad no idea that man
would ever stand on the summit of
Mount Everest, the culminating point
of the earth, 29,000 feet above sea
level.
Since then, says the New York Sun,
a large amount of fresh experience has
been collected as to the effects of alti
tude on the human frame. Critics
would hardly presume to-day to ques
tion the veracity of W. W. draham's
claim that in 18S3 he reached a point
within 50 feet of the summit of Kabru
(20,015) in the Himalayas, simply be
cause he did not suffer from mountain
sickness. Sir Martin Conway and
others did not accept his statement
for the reason that neither he nor his
companions experienced any of the ef
fects of diminished atmospheric pres
sure.”
The incredulity freely expressed ten
or nrteen yoirs ago as to tne possiDii*
ity of attaining such altitudes Is now
quite out of date. The British expedi
tion that crossed the Himalayas to
Lhasa a year ago proved that men may
cilmb, carry loads on their backs and
even fight at an altitude of 20,000 feet;
and Col. Waddell says in his book that
the Thibetans, fleeing before the ad
vancing army, crossed snow fields at
an elevation of 23,000 feet. When men
carry on a military campaign at
heights nearly as great as balloons
have attained. !N^r. Freshfleld and
other famous climbers who assert that
the topmost pinnacle of the earth will
yet be conquered have new evidence
favoring their contention.
There is no longer any doubt that
existence may be maintained at a
height greater than that of Mount
Everest. It is believed that. Coxwell
and Glaisher, in their most famous
balloon ascent, reached an elevation
of about. 30,000 feet, though they
claimed an altitude of 37,000 feet.
Paul Bert submitted himself in Paris
to very low atmospheric pressures
during a period of 89 minutes, and for
several minutes he breathed under a
pressure about the same as that which
would be experienced on the top of
Everest. There is danger undoubted
ly in the rapid ascents which aeronuats
sometimes make to very high alti
tudes. In two hours Messrs. Croce
Spinelli, Slvel and Tlssandlgr rose In
a balloon to a height of 26,000 feet,
and for two hours more they were be
tween that altitude and 28,000 feet,
with the result that two of them were
suffocated and Tissandler was the sole
survivor.
But mountaineers usually take weeks
to reach the upper altitude, and they
no longer ascribe most of their Ills
to mountain .sickness. The guide Xur
hriggen, writing of the last stretch on
a high Himalayan climb, says that the
party was keakened, not by the work
of the few previous hours, but “by
the continued strain of the last three
weeks.” Prof. Hoy writes that fatigue
CAUllclumu i niuvi lunu tuw
tlon of the air is the cause of the
quick pulse rate that la associated
with mountain sickness. Mr. Fresh
fleld, writing last month, says that all
recent experience goes to confirm the
fact that the violent indisposition often
felt on reaching heights of 12,000 to
15,000 feet tends to disappear on fur
ther advance after resting for a short
time.
The only good photograph ever
made of Mount Everest was taken
awhile ago by the British in a part of
'Thibet which Europeans had not vis
ited for several generations. The
mighty mass, snow covered and pierc
ing the sky, has all the majesty of
a great mountain and all the grace and
the lightness we see in a white cloud.
There are famous climbers who be
lieve that Everest tnay be conquered,
and that when the time for attack
comes neither mountain sickness nor
rarefaction will be a serious impedi
ment.
They Love Gen. Linevitch.
It will be remembered that in one
of the letters from Russian officers
quoted by George Kennan in the Out
look not a little distrust of Kuropatkln
was shown, and the writer added:
“The army knows and loves only one
general, and that is ‘Papa’ Linevitch.
No matter In what part of the army I
have been I have heard everywhere
the words, ‘If papasha were only
here!’ He is the man whom both offi
cers and soldiers trust, and with him
they will take anything."
Inexhaustible Credit.
A Pittsburg constable who per
formed a service for a millionaire
brewer has received a credit of 1,000,
000 glasses of beer. And now the man
has been driven to desperation by the
discovery that if he drinks 28 glasses
a day it will take him nearly 100 years
to exhaust his credit.—Buffalo Ex

What Engineers Propose Doing j
with the World’s Deserts.
The Sahara Could lie Quickly H«d«
an Inland Sen—Project to Divide
Ireland wflh a
Canal.
Few people realize how completely of
.ate years 'lie surface aspect of this
•veazened old globe of ours has been ul- ;
tered and improved.
The world to-day, in fact, differs
from 'he world of our ancestors, much
.is a society lady, in all the glory of fold
ind frill and furbelow, differs from her
savage sister running wild in pestilen- j
tial woods. As ur’ has transformed the
one, so has it the other
Only the "Mine. Ra. he!” who has
made the earth, if not exactly "beauti
ful for ever," u• least a pleasant and
healthful place wherein to dwell, is no
charlatan with a dray load of cos
metics and a glib tongue, but a uvil en
gineer, iwning nothing more harmful t
than a few mysterious-looking instru
ments and a measuring tape.
And the marvel of it ail is this—that
what has been done is but an infinites
imal fraction of that which may, and
doubtless will, be done. Who can doubt, ,
for instance, that the great Sahara
desert — that mole upon the world's
face—will one day be but a memory'?
It was an inland sea once. It would not j
be a very difficult matter to convert it
into one again.
A canal dO miles long, connecting
with the Atlantic the vlst depression
which runs close up to the coast nearly
midway between the twentieth and
»• ; « * • s ♦ <• * '*
thirtieth parallels of latitude, would do
the business beautifully. The water
would not, of course, cover the pntire
surface of the desert. Here and there
are portions lying above sea level.
These would become the islands of the .
new Sahara ocean.
What would be the results that would
ensue upon this stupendous transfor
mation'? Some would be good and some
bad. Among the latter may be men
tioned the probable destruction of the
vineyards of southern Europe, which
depend for their existence upon the
warm dry winds from the great African
desert.
In a similar manner the greater por
tion of the centra! Australian desert, !
covering an area of fully 1,000,'100
square miles, might be flooded. The. is
land continent would then be recon
verted into a gigantic atoll, and would
resemble, roughly, an oval dish of
which the depressed central portion |
would be covered with water and only
the “rim” inhabited. In this conneo.- 1
tlon it may he interesting to note that
a company has actually been formed
for submerging the. Yuma desert in j
southern California. If the plan, as at
present proposed, is carried out, a tnct
of absolutely uninhabitable territory
comprising nearly 13,000 square miles, j
and the greater portion of which lies
between 500 and 1,000 feet below sea
level, will be submerged.
A few Englishmen—known as "little
Englanders"—still blame the govern- J
ment for insisting upon the reconquest
of the Soudan. “A useless acquisition,”
say they. Perhaps!
Lint capable judges believe that it
would have been little less than suicidal
to have allowed these regions to fall ;
into the hands of France; for the aim- j
pie reason that her engineers, bv divert
ing the course of the Nile at Abu named i
or Berber—no very difficult task—• j
could at any time turn all upper Egypt ]
Into a desert.
It has eveti been suggested that it I
might be possible—by turning its wa
ters into one of the many lateral i
ravines which run at right angles to ,
the present course of the river to find
a new outlet for it into the Red sea, and
thereby to transform, in process of

fresh water lake.
To accomplish this, it would of count*
be necessary to build a giant dam .
across its southern “neck," near rerim, j
and to regulate, or rather stop alto- j
wether, tlit.* inward flow of the Mediter- ■
ranean tlin ugh tiic Sue/ canal a mg
task, but one not entirely impossible of
accomplishment.
The above are examples of h'g
schemes. There are many others that ;
might be mentioned, including, of
course, the Panama and Nicaraguan
canals, and the French "war canal" be--j
tween the mouths of the Loire and the
photte, which, when completed, will
t! ir ironclads to dodge round
behind Gibraltar when passing from
the Atlantic to the Mcditerraenan or
vice versa.
Put it is tiie comparatively little on- |
gineering feats which have slowly but
surely altered in the past and will alter j
in the future the faeeof theearth. Lven i
so small a matter, for instance, as the
proposed seawall at Southern] will cer- !
tainly deepen the estuary of the
Thames, and may conceivably do away
with the Goodwin sands.
A scheme was recently mooted to cut
a ship canal through the center of Ire
land. beginning at Dublin and finish
ing at Galway. It would be no very
difficult feat to accomplish, for most
of the country through which it would
