EAMES, NOTED ( HEM IST, DIES
Now York, Miarch s.—Dr. Charles
J. Eames, a noted chemist, who had
many chemical discoveries to his cred
it, died here yesterday at the ai»e of
B'4 j*ars.
Dr. Eames .first advanced the theory
that carbolic acid used in surgery
would infection. He also die-'
covered an important part of the art
of manufacturing celluloid, and with- 1
out his discovery it could not have '
become commercialized. Another im
portant discovery made by Dr. Eames
was a method of forging steel direct |
from the ore, which was the first pro- I
cess of this kind ever used in this j
country. The first successful crema- I
tofy ever put up in this country was j <
built at Fresh Pond under the personal ll
supervision and from the plans of Dr. ' >
Eames.
Falling Bodies
Men from the Michigan College of \
Mines maide some interesting experi- '
ments frith falling bodies in the deep j
vertical shaft of a copper mine at Oal
umet, which, says Machinery, has three '
of the deepest shmfts in the wwld.
Tlie experimenters tried to drop into
a box of clay 4,200 feet below two |
rtietflal balls two inches in diameter, one
from the center of a shaft nine feet
wide and thirty feet long and one from
the southwest corner of it. Neither of
the balls reacred the box of clay. One
was never found; the other, probably !
the one dropped from the center, was 'c
found lodged in the timbers in the ea*t c
side of the shaft, 800 feet from the sur- ]
fathsi In fa<'t, bodies dropped into the t
shaft invariably lodged in t'he east <
wall, because the earth rotates on its j
axis from west to east. IIP a load of
ore were spilled into the shaft most of 8
it would cling to tbe sidle of the shaft j
or land on the levels to the east. i

Now Is the Time to Get Bid of These

Do you know how easy it is to re

Simply get an .ounce of othine,
double strength, from your druggist,
and a few applications should show you
how easy it is to rid yourself of freckles
and get a beautiful complexion. The
sun and winds of February and March
have a strong tendency to bring out
freckles, and as a result more othine is
sold in these months. Be sure to ask
for the double strength othine, as this
is sold under guarantee of money back
if it fails to remove the freckles.— Adv.

Art and Nature.
Art is the revelation of man. and not
merely that, but likewise the revela
tion of nature, speaking through man.
Art pre-exists In nature, and nature is
reproduced In art. As vapors from the
oceso. floating landward and dissolved
in rain, nre carried back in rivers to
the ocean, so thoughts and the sem
blances of things that fall upon the
soul of man In showers flow out again
In living streams of art and lose them
selves In the great ocean, which Is na
ture. Art and nature, are not, then, dis
cordant, but ever harmoniously work
ing In each other.—Longfellow.

Presidential Cheeses.
The first monster cheese presented to
a president of which we can find rec
ord is that offered with great publicity
to Jefferson in 1802. The cheese was
made—one might almost say built-in
Cheshire, Mass., in a press giving It
the great dimensions of four feet diam
eter and eighteen inches high. After
being successfully pressed It was
drawn from Cheshire to Washington
In a six horse dray* amid popular re
joicing. With regard for the dignity of
his office, the president Insisted on
footing the bill to the tune of <2OO.
There Is record of an even greater
cheese presented to President Jackson,
and President Van Buren received a
great cheese every year of his lncum
bncy. With him the custom seems to
have ended.—New York Sun.

A Camel's Stomach
The stomach of a camel is divide*!
into four compartments, and the wall'
of litse are lined with large eel i
every one of which can be ypened ami
closed at will by the means of powc
ful muscles, explains a writer iu tin
Presbyterian. When a camel drinks
it drinks a great deal. Indeed, il
drinks for sach a long time you really
would think it never meant to leave off
The fact is that it is not satisfying
its thirst, but is tilling up its cistern
as well. One after another the cells
in its stomach are filled with the wa
ter, and as soon as each is quite full
it'is tightly closed. Then, when a fe.v
hours later the animal becomes thirsty,
all that it has to do is to open one
of the cells and allow the water to flow
out. Next day it opens one or bwo
more cells, am! so it goes on day after
day until Hie whole supply is exhaust
ed. In this curious way a camel can
live five or even six days without'
drinking at all, and so is aihle to travel
quite easily through the desert, where
the weels are often hundreds of mi lei
apart.
