When the great iron tower, 1,000 fee 2 high, was proposed some tirau ago fo the Paris exhibition of 18W, many en gineers doubted the feasibility of th t project,judged from their po'nt of view However, M. Kiffel went at the probler and evolved a design which was chose and which it is proposed to exc.ute. 0 5 the eve of accomplishment, however, > Fren h 'Savant" comes forward with timely warning of t! e fearful consc } quinces which the building of the iro f tower will entail. He *ays that th ; enormous block i of iron running no. t ' and sonth would 1 ecome polarized, an t that this pobri/.ation will soon invad f the whole column. Then who know i ii? liffa ufttli f Air r nn 1 tinual fric ion, will not increase th magnetic influence a hundredfold? 1 ' this ease all articles for a mile round wii 1 bi attracted to the towe.-, and will ad here to it as a needle does to a m ignet If the troops quartered in the h'col J Militaire ha d by be cilled out to dri'l ^ it will be all in vain for the comra indiuj ' officer to shout "En avant!" if they ar ! paraded with the column behind them Then all the houses in Paris will sufft 1 from a St. Vitus's dance, and, bein grndjally di awn toward the Champ d L Mars, will finally find themselves stud * to the tower. As for locomotives entei ing Paris, it will be found impossible t stop them at the various termini; the > will rush through tlie city and dasl 1 themselves to pieces again-t the centr 1 of attraction.?Electrical World. What Hail Can Do. : A letter written from Clifton, Iliinoii to a citi/cn of Chicago, contains the per sonal experience of one of the sufferer r from the reccnt terrific hail storm whic ' swept over the State in a southeast direi ' tion and caused much damage. Th t writer says: "I have lost almost ever} t thing in the way of crops by one of th 1 worst nan siorrns l ever saw, nuu me ut\ of which I hope I may never see again It took our crops clean. The hail stone eamc clown as large as teacups and a\ I eraged as large as hens' eggs. My ho us i< just riddicd. Those of my neighbor who had blinds on their windows foun< tliern no protection, the hail stones pass ing through them and scattering thei inio splinters. In some cases they wen clear through siding and plaster, au< penetrated through shingles. The hi: sounded like falling brick* as it s-truc the housetops, and the wind was terrible taking everything, even to the larges trees, in its path. I have lived here tbirtj three years next March, and I have neve " seen anything like this storm. I thin [ it cleaned out from three to four thou snnd acres of grain. Some have a lilt! left, but it is cut up sothat I don't thin 1 it will come to am thing.

For fiv.e hundred years phye 6icians have tried to cure Consumption blueing them, and have failed. Where there is j great derangement of the secretions, with act , engorgement of air-cells, there is always co profuse expectoration. Now Piso's Cure re- tb< * moves the engorgement and the derangement e of the secretions, and consequently (and in this way only) diminishes the amount of mat- j 5 ter expectorated. This medicine does not dry ag< up a cough, but removes the cause of it JJJ When it is impossible from debility or otlier ani 2 causes to exercise freely in the open air. apart- arc 2 ments occupied by the patient should be so 1) ventilated as to ensure the constant accession me - of fresh air in abundance. eff . The surface of the body should be sponged y as often as every third day with tepia water B s and a little soft-soap. (This is preferable to j any other.) After thoroughly drying, use friction with the hand moistened with oil, 1 Cod-Liver or Olive is the best.

A cough may or may not foreshadow serious evil; take r it in its mi dear form, to say the least, it is a Ti i. nu sancc, and should be abated. A cough is unlike any other symptom of dis- ei, e ease. It stands a conspirator, witn threaten- ptf ing voice, menacing the health and existence th< _ of a vital orpan. Its first approach is in whispers unintelligible, and at first too often unD heeded, but in time it never fails to ma e itself At n understood?never fails to claim the attention Cl< of tliose on whom it calls. an il If you have a couirh without disease of the kch a lungs or serious constitutional disturbance, so ti> , much the better, as a few do es of Piso's Cure *{J will be all you may need, while if you rc far n advanced in Consumption, several bottles may e be required to effect a permanent cure. h If you are suffering from Chronic Cough, ? , Bronchitis.
