The lust a ii I of change from blue to black Is possibly a little difficult of exact observation, Init the method Is not more doubtful than that based on the oli- servatlon of shooting stars. The shoot ing star method gives a result not greatly differing from the vanishing blue method. The former gives the height of the atmosphere at lf)l) miles. To See I'lalnlr.

Inebriety nnd llie Kilting of Fruit, There Is Imt one sure cure for the drinking disease or lmlill, ami that Is the simplest of all. The cure consists In eating fruits. That will cure the worst case of Inebriety that ever af flicted a person. It will entirely de stroy the taste for Intoxicants and will make the drunkard tv turn to the thoughts and tastes of his childhood. No person ever saw a man or woman who liked fruit and who had an ap petite for drink. No person ever saw a man or woman with an appetite for drink who liked fruit.
