POWER OF ELECTRICITY

WIZARD TELLS Or REVOLUTION IN HUMAN AFFAIRS. A GREAT EPOCH DAWNING Inventor Predicts Electric Power Direct From Coal Power Honse at Mines. In the opinion of Thomas A. C2i;on, the famous inventor, v.-uuders are yet to bo unfolded in the world of electricity. In a recent Interview with James Creelinan, the .New York World's correspondent, he aid in part: . "We ore groping on iht? verge of antory. It would not surprise mo anj morning to wake up and learn that some one, some group of the CCO.OUO scientific men wlio are Investigating all over the earth, ha seized upon the secret of electricity by direct process and begun another practical revolution ju huiu Mi atl'airs, 'it can be iluUC. It will be done. I expect see it before I die. "The ..r?t groat change' in" die pro due tlotl of electricity will abolish carrying coal for that purpose. Intead of digging gross material out of the earth, loading it on cars and carrying it, say, 500 miles, there to put it under a bodes and burn and so get power, we shall set up plants at the mouths of mines, generate power there ami transmit it wherever it is needed by copper v re, 'It is preposterous to keep on putting coal mines on wkeels. It is toj clumsy. It is too costly. There is no necessity for it. It is easier to curry molecular vibration by millions of waves a second than freight cars full of crude mutter. We can ship 100,000 horsepower over the wire quicker and more economically than we cau send the equivalent in coal over a railroad track. ''We must eliminate the railroad altogether from this problem. What's the use of it V We don't want coal any how. It does us nr good to look at it. What we want is the resultant of tut utmost energy that cau be produced. And there is no sense in carrying around millions of tons of raw material like coal when we can get a product delivered to us by wire. .. "Everything poiuts to the fact that In the near future electricity will be pro dueed for general consumption bygreat power houses at the, mouths of coal pits. That is the logical and common Fcnse outcome of present events. "Now, the truth Is that it will cost a third lesi to transport electrical power by wire, than t; carry It. In the form ot coal in railroad cars. Assume the price of coal to be J?l at the mouth of a mine nnd as-mme the freight to be ?l.90. Now, wo can turn c ul into electricity r.t the mine and convey it by wire for less than half of the cost of the freightage of coal. sv, m years to come, me great elec tric power plants will be set up In tho ! coal r.clds. Electric pnver'will largely do away with steam power. Electric light will become cheaper than gas light. I believe firmly that all great trunk railroad lines will 'go to electricity Inside of lift cen years. I don't mean' simply passenger traffic, but heavy freight truffle also. "Electricity will take the place of horses. It will solve the vehicle and truffle problem of cities My new electric storage battery itself will make electricity cheaper than horses. In the spring we will be ready to furnish new batteries. Not only will they take half the space of horse truffle, but they will go twice ns fast. They can be stored ou upper floors by means of elevators. The saving of stable space in New York will cover at least $200,000,000 worth of property. "Not only will electric power be de veloped and distributed from ooa! mines in the future, but all the water power In the world will be used for the production of electricity. Tint 'moveidly. In California, where men have nerve enough tT overcome habit, they -nre transmuting electric nower -72 miles by wire und running street cars and l'ghtlng cities by It. That is the sort of spirit that will wake the world up one of the- e days. I wish that spirit In California would spread everywhere. "From a practical standpoint the . most tremendous thing In the problem of electricity Is the fact that we only get about 15 per cent of the energy of the coal we burn. Eighty live per cent goes up the chimney. Now, If we could find a wuy to get the energy out of the coal by some direct process without wasting 8T per cent of I, the result would be that it would so auiltiply and so cheapen electric power as to Inaugurate a new epoch In the history of iYta vrrrlil "When that discovery Is made th steam engine will be driven out of use It .wbl then be possible to have air ship. I expect to' see airships flylnp linfVirn mr iV:ith I tht not think t:l;li they wi'l fly very h'gh, but they will he ablet.) gj a little higher thru the trce3

and building?. Such a discovery will make ft possible to drive ships across the sea by electricity at the rate of forty or fifty miles an hour three days across the Atlantic from shore to shore. Why, power will be so cheap and so easily distributed that a multitude of new industries impossible now because of the cost of labor will spring Into existence. "The human race may well look forward with hope toward the day In which the discovery will be announced, for after that the world will be greatly transformed."

WOMAN'S TRIALS. Her IJittcr Disappointment.

The bitter trail in a woman's life is to bo childless. Who can tell how hard the struggle may have been ere she learnt to resign hersolf to her lonely lot? The absence of this link to bind marital life together, the absence of this one pledge to mutual affection is a common disapE ointment. Many unfortunate couples ecome estranged thereby. Even if they do not drift apart, one may read tho whole extent of their disappointment in the eyes of such a childless couple when they rest on the children of others. To them the largest family does not seem too numerous. It will rather appear to them that those on whom this blessing has been most richly bestowed hardly value it sufficiently. In many cases of barrenness or childlessness the obstacle to child-bearing is easily removed by the cure of weakness on the part of the woman. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has been the means of restoring health and fruitfulness to many a barren woman, to the great joy of the household. In other, but rare cases, the obstruction to the bearing of children has been found to be of a surgical character, but easily removable by painless operative treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. Buffalo, N. Y., over which Dr. Pierce of the "Favorite Prescription" fame presides. In all cases where children are desired and are absent, an effort should be made to find out the real cause, since it is generally so easily removed by proper treatment. In all the various weaknesses, displacements, prolapsus, ant-versions, retroversions, inflammation or ovaries, leucorrhcea, giving rise to disagreeable and weakening drains, and in all cases of nervousness, nervous prostration and debility, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most efficient remedy that can 'lossibly bo uscl. It has to its credit mndrods of thousands of cures more in fact than any other remedy put up for sale through druggists, especially for woman's use. You do not have to take Dr. Pierce's word alone for this, locauso the ingredients of which tho "Favorite Prescription" are composed have received the most positive endorsement from tho leading medical writers on Mntcr'ui Medina of all the several schools of practice. All the ingredients are printed in plain English on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so that if you are an invalid woman and make use of this famous medicine you know exactly what yon are taking. Dr. Pierce takes his patients into his full confidence, which ho can afford to do as the formula after which the "Favorite Prescription" is made will bear tho most careful examination. You do not have to experiment when taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, as with the many fake, Cheap John Medicines that are sent out on trail, composed of cheap and often harmful ingredients. Dr. Pierce resorted to Nature's Laboratory to get tho ingredients for his "Favorite Prescription," believing that the indigenous, or native, medicinal roots of our country are endowed by Providence with the most marvelous curative powers. The only rational way to attempt to cure disease is by assisting the natural functions of the body, and to do that there is nothing like Nature's remedies which act in Nature's way, toning and Invigorating tho digestive organs, the liver, the stomach and bowels and the nervous system, which always sutlers to a great extent in all the various derangements of the organs distinctly feminine. The medicine of known composition is tho one to rely upon tho one that has a record of nearly forty years of cures the one devised and manufactured by a regularly graduated and experienced practitioner of medicine.

OP ALWAYS Signature of writers of prominence, extolling the various ingredients which enter into Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is worth looking over if you are a sufferer. Dr. Pierce does not claim for his "Favorite Prescription " that it is a "cure-all." It is recommended as a most perfect specific for woman's peculiar ailments. So uniform are the results which follow the use of this remarkable remedy, that it can be truly affirmed of "Favorite Prescription " that it always helps and almost always cures. Ninety-eight per cent, of the women who give this medicine a fair and faithful trial are cured and remain cured. It is a powerful invigorating tonic, Imparting health and strength in particular to the organs distinctly feminine. The local, womanly health is so intimately related to the general health that when diseases of the delicate womanly organs are cured the whole body gains in health and strength. For weak: and sickly women who are "worn-out," "run-down" or debilitated, especially for women who work in store, office or schoolroom, who sit at the typewriter or sewing machine, or bear heavy household burdens, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has Eroven a priceless benefit because of its ealth - restoring and strength - giving powers. As a soothing and strengthening nervine. "Favorite Prescription" is unequaled and is invaluable in allaying and subduing nervous excitability, irritability, nervous exhaustion, nervous prostration, neuralgia, hysteria, spasms, chorea, or St. Vitus's dance, and other distressing nervous symptoms commonly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womanly organs. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and despondency. Cures obstinate cases. "Favorite Prescription" is a positive cure for the most complicated and obstinate cases of leucorrhea, excessive flowing, painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions and irregu larities, prolapsus or falling of the pelvic organs, weak back, "female weakness," anteversion, retroversion, bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion, inflammation and ulceration, inflammation, more or less pain and tenderness over the lower abdomen accompanied with "internal heat." Dr. Pierce's medicines are made from harmless but efficient medicinal roots found growing in our American forests. Tho Indians knew of the marvelous curative value of some of these roots and imparted that knowledge to some of the friendlier whites, and, gradually some of the more progressive physicians came to test and use them, and ever since they have grown in favor by reason of their superior curative virtues and their safe and harmless qualities.
