tomehing similar has been done In

Cnrinjt Deafness by Noise.
According to Popular Science News,
a well-known aurist has invented an
instrument for curing partial deafness
by the aid of sound. His instrument
produces a sustained sound running
through several octaves. The sound is
conveyed Into the patient's ear through
a telephone transmitter. As soon as the
particular pitch of sound that the ear
bears imperfectly has lieen ascertained,
that note is concentrated upon the ear
drum for a certain period every day.

Mountain L.ions.
The puma, or mountain lion, is said to
be comparatively plentiful In all the un

Hill, of Taeoma, describes a mountain
lion which came down to the beach of
Pnget Sound, aliout thirty miles from
Port Townscnd, last summer, approach
ing bis wife ami children and uttering
frightful screams. Mr: Hill and bis
family succeeded in driving the animal
away with shouts and threatening mo
rions. What he says about the cries or
creams of the puma is regarded as Im
portant, because there baa been a con
flict of authorities ou the question
whether the animals utters such sounds.
Mr. Hill also reports that a puma has

Do Fiah Take Ballast?
It is asserted ou the authority of the
captain of a steam flsblug smack in the
North Sea that codfish, at certain times
of the year, take sand Into their stom

the captain. Is done when the fish are
about to migrate from the shallow wa
ter covering the southern banks of the
North Sea to the deeper water farther
north. He says that he has often ole
served that Bab caught on the southern
banks Just before the migration legln,
sm! those caught in the northern wa
in after It la completed, have snud lit
their stomach, and that the sand Is
discharged after the arrival of the fish
at the southern banks on the returu

that the sand found In the fish often

The Home Market.
McK'iilcy speaks with wisdom and
truth when be says "the home market is
the best market ill the world," It i
the home market that iis-us factories,
furnishes employment for wage-earner.
and fills the land with consumer of ,
farm products.
One gnat cansc of the hard times is
the denial of these facts by the tariff re-
formers of 1WM. who undertook to sell i
the lions" market iu exchange for the
"markets of the world." The result j
was thar they lust the former and did not
gain the latter. o that I be whole scheme
was a lamentable failure.
The truth is that protection and reci
procity have iloiiiiinstriitei their great
value to rr home industries and for
eign trade. The former achieved their
g'l.itcsi prosperity under protection,
while IS'.rJ. when the M. Kiiilcy law was
in operation, was the banner year of
our exchanges with foreign nations.
Comparing iwr! with IMsi. the result
is !'.s follows:
Our exjMirl fdl from $l.fl.'lil,7v,ldX in

Cleaning Iron and llrnnzea.

ably If treated to a vigorous rubWng
with the lliiHi-cd ami turpentine, after
tirst cleaning with soap and water.
