HOWARD. } Congressman Howard's home ad- itfress Is Fort Payne , Ala. people think that catarrh is a 'M ' disease confined to the head and nose. Nothing is farther from the troth. It may be that the nose and throat ls the oftenest affected by catarrh , but 'if this is so it is so only because these i parts are more exposed to the vicissitudes of the climate than the orlior parts of the body. Every organ , every duct , every cavity of the humm body is liable to catarrh. A multitude of ailments depend on ea- Jtarrh. This is trno wini-i > r and summer. , Catarrh causes many : . < < of chroni'1 ' disease , where the victim has not thc- , slightest suspicion that ratarrh has any- " thing : to do with it. i The following letter which gives the 1 experience of Mr. A.

An air-cooling system on a vast scale Is to be tried at the St. Louis exposition. Great fans will bring down a current' of cold air from a height of 800 feet above the earth and pour it over the grounds on hot days. The amount of carbonic acid gas giv en off by a few plants is so small that 100 plants in a room would not give as much as one man during a night , and they make many volumes of oxygen during the day nore than sufficient to compensate for their presence Rooms in which plants arc kept have , more over , a fresh odor about them , owing to the fact that they absorb nitrogen , and it is this in pa-t that makes a room stuffy , because nitrogen occurs in most of the secretions emanating from man or animals. The resistance of cedar wood to de cay has long been famous , and cedar fence posts often last for generations. A remarkable instance of the inde structibility of cedar has been noted in the State of Washington , where a for est of hemlocks , near Acme , has grown up over an ancient buried forest of ce dars. The trunks of cedar , although ly ing in a moist soil , have been almost perfectly preserved for at least 150 years , the length of time that the rings of growth show the hemlocks to have been growing above their fallen prede cessors. Corundum Is first cousin to the sap phire and the ruby , but lacks their bril liance of color and transparency. It is a most excellent abrasive material , better than emery , which Is impure corundum , in that respect , but hitherto its rarity has made it too high-priced for general use. Recently valuable de posits of corundum have been found in the mountains north of Kingston , On tario , and it is hoped that they will furnish a large supply of the mineral. Traces of sapphire have been found among the deposits , but as yet no spoci- ments of the precious blue gem have revealed themselves. The difference in color between green and black tea has been ascribed to va rious causes. Recently Mr. Aso , of the agricultural college at Tokyo , has in vestigated the subject , and he offers , in substance , the following explana tion : In making green tea the leaves are steamed as soon as gathered ; in the case of black tea the leaves are allowed to ferment before drying. The result is that the finished black tea contains much less tannin than the green con tains. The original tea-leaf possesses an oxidizing enzyme which is destroyed In the green tea by steaming. In black tea , during fermentation , the enzyme oxidizes the tannin and gives rise to a brownish-colored product. RICHES IN THE TROPICS. Researches in Those Bejrfona A.re Prov ing to Be Very Profitable. Few persons have any idea what prospects of wealth are opening in tropical countries. It is only within a few years that any attention has been paid to many large areas that are now found to be rich in commodities which the world needs. Of course , this work of studying the tropical world is still in its oarly stages and much re mains to be done , even to procure a comparatively complete list of the tropical plants that are most useful. In the last two or three years it has been feared that the demand for rub ber would exceed the supply. But re cent studies have revealed new fields that are already beginning to contrib ute to the rubber supply The list of rubber plants is constantly growing. Within two years a number of trees and vines never before utilized have begun to yield a harvest of rubber. This valuable product bids fair to play in the humid regions of the tropics about the sarae part as the precious metals do in temperate regions , says the N < ro York Sun. In the last ten years the Congo Free State. French Guiana. Madagascar and Lagos have advanced enormously in the value of their exports , the basis of their prosperity being due to india rub ber. The latest declared exports from the French Congo , amounting to about $1,200,000 , were half india rubber. After the fall of Khartum , W. Gnrstin. a French economist , expressed the opinion that the valley of the Upper Nile , devastated for so many years by the Mnhdists , would contribute prac tically nothing to the wealth of the world for the next half century. But the Upper Nile has since then yielded 020 tons of rubber. In French Indo- Chiun is the large region known as Up per Laos and the Laotian Shan States , whk-h until recently have never been of the slightest economic importance in the foreign trade. In 1S99 , after French experts had reported that these regions were rich in valuable resources , a little ruWber began to be sent to mar ker. In the first year only fifty tons were exported , but in the year follow ing (1000) ( ) , 340 tons were exported , al most nil of it from the Tran Ninli dis- trict. which 's only a very small part of the areas in which rubber is found to thrive. The advance of our knowledge of rubber plants in the tropics is only one phase of the activity of botanical ex ploration there for the benefit of com merce. Annales de Geographic says that systematic efforts are now being made to extend the cultivation of tbe ramie fiber plant. Plantation owners , "experimental stations and congresses , in which experts discnss the question in all Its Dearlngs. are now co-operat ing to develop a new Industry on a large scale. Ramie or China grass , of the nettle family. Is grown largely Iu China , Japan and the Malay Archipel ago for coarse cloths and cordage. It forms a large part of the clothing of the Chinese peasantry who. even in the coldest weather , wear nothing but China grass or cotton. The variety j which If : grown most largelj' in South- ern China and Northern Indo-China Is t exported to a considerable extent to ' England Another variety known as green ramie fhrives best in Java and the Sunda Islands. Both plants are sensitive to cold , but the variety known as white ramie stands moder ate frosts and thrives in temperate cli mates with proper soil and cultiva tion. tion.The The development of the ramie in dustry has been retarded by the fact that it 'm diffif-ult to obtain the liber , which is prot ted by a tough skin that resists most chemical dissolvants. Great efforts nre now being made to overcome this difficulty. A ramie con gress held two sessions last year and it is believed that the difficulty will be overcome. TALKING TO ONE'S SELF. Supposed to be One of the Early Symp toms of Insanity. Talking to one's self has this obvlotu advantage over another form of ora tory or gossipone is assured of a sym pathetic audience. But it has also thif pceular drawback it is supposed to be one of the early symptoms of insanity. Wrongly so , perhaps. A mad doctoi might rule the habit out of his diagno sis. Nevertheless the popular beliei is firmly rooted. And it is for fear ol this belief , doubtless , that we talk to ourselves , even as we dress our hair with straws , so rarely. It may be said that we never do address ourselves at any length except in the delirium of a fever. In moments of ordinary excite ment , of course , "we utter to the wind some sort of appropriate ejaculation. Delight wrings from us a cry of "Hur rah ! " or "Thank Heaven ! " even though there be none by to echo us Similarly in any disgust we emit one of those sounds whose rather poor equivalents in print are "Ugh ! " and "Faugh ! " "D n ! " and "Tut ! " Much further than this we do not go. "Why , what an ass am I ! " cries Hamlet in one of his soliloquies. Omitting the first word and transposing the last two , the ordinary modern man does often soliloquize , to that extent. But he could no more soliloquize to H'inlet's extent than he could speak in decasyl labics. Nor is there any reason to sup pose that that class of the community with which , contemptuous of his own fluency , Hamlet compared himself , is or everwas more prone to soliloquize than any other. In the matter of so liloquies we cannot accept Hamlet as an unbiased authority. We merely find in nim lie possible origin of the belief that talking to one's self is a bad sign. London Saturday Review. PARIS SCHOOL In Which Aspiring Detectives Ari Trained for Their Profession. Paris is the home of a new school for detectives , where aspiring tracker * are taught by regularly graded lessont and examinations. The students are first trained in the use 01 their eyes and hands. One 01 the lessons consists in placing a pupi in the middle of a brilliantly ligbtec room full of furniture. He is left foi a few seconds , when the room is dark cued , and he is required to skrtcfc hastily a complete map of the room indicating the position of the furui ture. After this he is allowed to look at face for a moment or two. The studerr is then required to describe the fac < and the color of the hair and eyes. lit is afterwards required to recognize i photograph of the face among several hundred others. The education of the hand follows The pupil is placed in a darkened roonr full of curious and unusual objects He is required to touch them rapidlj and afterwards to recall exactly wha he has touched and write a descriptioi of them. He must remember even tin slightest details. One of the exercise * consists in placing a jeweled knife be fore him m the dark , which he is al lowed to touch only for a moment. Af terwards he must tell by touch wha1 the jewels ara whether rubies , dia mouds or opals. How It Happened.
