I was troubled several years with chronic
Eczema, on my head and face. ,I took medi-
cal treatment from two doctors and several
lotions, but received little reliefwAt times,
the dreadful itching became almost intoler-

rainful, and almost distracted me. I tried

ACord of Wood.
Few persons comprehend the produc-
tive capacity of a cord of wood. Chem-
ical experiments are occasionally de-
veloping new uses for wood in matters
remote from its ordinary adaptability,
and the feature that is exciting a great
lea] of interest just now is the trans-
formation of wood products into
iquids. Although under the strongest
kind of pressuve wood yields scarcely
any moisture, by means of heat wood
will evolve gases and liuqids of marked
potency and utility. In converting
wood into charcoal,.gase‘s and smoke'
trlse which can be condensed into py-
roligneaus acid. It is estimated that
there is fully 65 per cent. of this acid
In a. given Quantity of wood alcohol,
The
tlcohol thus obtained is said to be a.
rery satisfactory substitute for grain
Llcohol for mechanical and manufac-
:uring purposes, and it can be produced
lt less than one-third of the cost of the
rrain alcohol. '
Investigations conducted with practi-
:a.l objects in view have disclosed these
interesting facts: A cord of wood,
which weighs 4,000 pounds, will yield
tbout 2,050 pounds of pyroligneousacid
1nd 700 pounds of charcoal; the acid
will produce about nine gallons of 82
oer cent. crude wood alcohol, about 25
gallonsof tar, and fully 200 pounds of

runs, W'atts was engaged in repairing
the roof of a Bristolchurch. In some
manner he lost his foothold and was
slowly slipping down the smooth
slates when he got a. new purchase and
thus saved his bones, if 'noNt- his life.
This mishap worried Watts and he
spent the remainder of the day specu-
atingon what might have happened had
he gone over the edge of the roof and
dropped to the hard turf blow.- Still
vexed with these unpleasant fancies he
fell asleep and then in dreams he
several times repeated his experience
of the afternoon, \but with several ad-
ditional features. One of these was
that while he was sliding down the
roof his ladle of metal had slipped
out oflhis hand and disappeared over
the edge. When—Still dreaming'—he
went in search of his lead-expecting to_
find it in one piece, he Was surprised
:0 notice the ground was‘fcovered with
hundreds of tiny globules, fithe metal
avidently having been so divided in fall-
;ng. When Watts wakened this inci-
lent of his dream would nOt leave him.
He did not for a moment 'suppose lead
would act in Such an unusual manner,
outthe dream seemed so plausible that
he was persuaded to enact it in reality.

of the same church and let the melt-
ed lead slide from the ridge. Then he
hastened ‘to the ground and his aston-
lshment knew no bounds when he
found everything as it had appeared
in his dream. The ground was cov-
ered with tiny globules of bright metal.
Watts was sharp enough to realize
what he had discovered and was not
slow to profit by it. He found a sim-
ple way to make fine shot and be real-
ized a. fortune of =£10,000 out of his
