REGISTERING SUNSHINE.

London’s Daily“ Share ,Is Two and One-
Half Hours.

The heliograph, although not of re—
cent invention, is now coming more gen-
erally into use, since the importance of
registering the number of hours of
daily sunshine becomes more popularly
appreciated. A recent publication of
Prof. Kremser estimates the number of
heliographs now in use at about 50 in
Great Britain, 30 in Germany, 25 in
France, 18 in Austria, 10 in Italy and 13
In Switzerland. The apparatus is auto-
matic. Sunshine registers itself
through lenses, for as soon as the sun
comes out of the clouds sufficiently it
will burn a paper underneath the lens,
leaving a black mark thereon. Since
the hours of the day are marked on the
paper, it Will be apparent with approxi-
mate exactness how many hours each
day the sun really shone. The results
are very surprising indeed; so, for in-
stance, the daily average of sunshine
for several years amounted in Scotland
to 2 hours; Ireland, 31/2 hours; England,

 

4 hours; Germany, 41/2 hours; France,-

5 hours; in Switzerland, 51/L hours; in
Austria, 6 hours, and in Spain, 71,-;
hours. It is shown that there is more
sunshine in the south than there is in
the north, and also more in the east of
Europe than in the west; near moun-
tains the frequency of fog lessens the
heurs of sunshine.
tory on Ben Nevis shows less than one
and one~half hours—almost an hour less
than elsewhere in Scotland. T he form-
ation of smoke near great cities and
manufacturing centers also lessens the
h0urs.of sunshine. The interior of

‘ London shows but 21/5 hours, against an

average of 31/.~ hours in Greenwich and
4 to 4%, hours elsewhere in southern
England.

JAPAN’S GREAT CATHEDRAL.

Havel Method of Protecting the Building
from Destruction by Fire.

When foreign architects. visit Japan
and see the cathedral of Buddhism for
the first time, they are generally as-
tonished at the magnificent structure.
It is executed in pure oriental
style, and is richly ornamented with
carvings. H. Ito, a. famous builder of
Nagova City, designed it. The struc-
ture was commenced in 1878, and was
completed this year. The cost has
been estimated at $17,000,000. It would
have greatly exceeded this amount had
not numbers of Buddhists worked
without. any recompense.

As the structure neared completion
the committee having the work in
charge was much perplexed as to fire
insurance. They found that no com-
pany would assume the risk on such
a valuable wooden structure, the dan-
ger of destruction by fire being very
great, and thus the premiums would
amount to an enormous sum of money.
At last the committee decided on a
design devised by Dr. Tanabe. Num-
bers of powerful fountains were con-
structed, both exterior and interior,
which can be made to play on all parts
of the structure at the same time.

Usually only one great ornamental
fountain is playing, rising to the great
height of 157 feet. This is probably
the largest artificial fountain in exi'st-
ence, emitting 82,080 gallons per hour.
In case of fire all the water pressure is
directed through the numbers of ex-
terior and interior fountains; thus

 

.every part of the structure, both in-

side and outside, could soon be
drenched, and‘any confiagration soon
extinguished.

GEN. HANCOCK’S WAY.

How Be Stopped the Noise of a Convlvial
Railroad Party.

The following story is told of the
late Gen. Hancock, says Life’s Calen-
dar:

Gen. W. S. Hancock was in command
of the train which brought Gen.
Grant’s remains from Mount Gregor to
New York. He and the staif were in
the coach next to the last. In the rear
car was a party of Pennsylvania mil~
itia ofilcers, who were popping an oc-
casional bottle of champagne and
smoking quite sociably. Gen. Han-
cack saw from his car what Was going
on in the car. It did not comport with.
his idea of so solemn an occasion, and
calling the conductor he said: “Vl’ill
you present my compliments to those
gentlemen with the request that they
cease smoking and drinking?”

In a few minutes the conductor re-
turned with the announcement that
the convivial officers returned their
compliments with a peremptory decli-
nation to relinquish their cigars or
wine. ‘

“Where is the'next switch?” asked
Hancock.

 

“About five miles below,” replied the .

conductor.

“When you reach it, if the smoking
and drinking in that car have not
ceased, switch it on a. side track and
leave it. You may tell the gentlemen
what I have said.” .

In two minutes the cigars and wine
were not to be seen in the rear coach.
Its occupants knew Hancock meant
just what he said.

Japanese Jugglers’ Joke.
The skill of Japanese jugglers is
illustrated by a recent incident at a

pany. A foreign guest determined to
have no optical illusions about what
the juggler did.
glances be distracted and Was not once
oif his guard. Noticing this, the old

large porcelain vase was brought in and

set in the middle of the room, and the ‘_
juggler, crawling up, let himself down '
into it slowly. The skeptic then sat .

for half an hour without taking his
eyes from the vase, which he had first

been convinced was round and firm, ;
and stood on no trap door. After this ;
prolonged watch the rest of the com- ;
pany assailed him with laughter and .
jeers and pointed to his side, where .

the old juggler had been seated for
some minutes. ' ‘

To Her and Many Others.

 

It was a revelation to every sufl'erer
from kidney complaints. Surprise and
gratitude are the impressions it leaves
behind. Medicines have come and
gone, - some with merit, others with
none. Cures spring up 1n the papers
like mushroons but are soon de-
clared toad stools from the luck of
profit. The people lived too far away.
Facts are wanted. Whom have you
cured? That is what is wanted. “Tell
me or neighbors that have found relief
and I will believe you.” That is plain
English. The disease may have aLatin
name, but anyone understands pain.
Anyone would rather have relief from
backache than to know the Latin name
for it...gAnd still it is well to know the
cause. Nine times out of ten it comes
from the kidneys. That’s why Doan’s
Kidney Pills are so successful With all
ktmds of bad backs. What proof have
We of this success? The only satisfac-
tory proof for you, Norwalk testimony.
A Norwalk lady has good reason to
speak .well of Dean’s Kidney Pills. We
refer to Mrs. Alex C. McLean who lives
at N o. 18 Maple street. Mrs. McLean
is well known to Norwalk people being
the Wife of the popular manager of a
big New York jobbers Drug House.
She has been a sufferer for two years
andahalf, was under treatment of a
Brooklyn specialist who claimed she
had. chronic Briggt’s Disease. She got
Doan’s Kidney Pills at Hale’s drug
store and began taking them. Mrs.
McLean says. “I do not care to go in-
to the‘details of my case. Doan’s Kid-
ney Pills are helping me and Ifeel very
much “better. I have great confidence
in their. merit.

Dean's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents per box, BlX
boxes for $2.50. By mail on receipt of
price by Foster—Mllburn 00., Buffalo,
N. Y. sole agents for the U. S.

Thousands are sufl'ering excl-aerating
misery from that plague of the night,
Itching Piles, and say nothing about it
through a sense of delicacy. All such
Will find an instant relief ii. the use of
Dean’s Ointment. It never Tails.
