THE
THE
SCOURGE OF TROPICS.
HOW TO OVERCOME THE RAVAGES OF THE MALARIA PARASITE.
A Golden Statue should be erected to the Uscoverer of a means of banishing Malaria from the Tropics.”
In those striking words, a short time ago, a distinguished man ouco again drew attention to a subject whoso importance, as every raildent in the Tropies is only too well aware, it is impos. sible to exaggerato.
Great as are the strides preventive medicine makes avery year, so long a time rust necessarily elapse before Malurin can be banished from the land that it is destined to affect untold millions of His Majesty's subjects with its acate rigor, and its pornicious after effects for many years to conto, and to cause fatalities likewise coaching millicas uvery year.
As everyone knows, Maloric is due to a pars sita which feeds on the Bromoglobin or active substance of the red blood corpuscles, destroying it aud them until the blood Bauomnes poor, and the patient suffers from Anemia. Unlose this destruction is checked, the condition degenerates into what is called Cachexia, on impairment of the vitality of the tastes of the nervous, mus- onlar, moutal, ciroulatory digestivo, respiratory and other systems of the body. For this reason, the patent suurs from a long list of nervous, mescal and physical symptoms, like loss of memory impairment of the vision, depression of the spirits, insomnia, lassitude and over incrossing weaknusa.
Hoppily, all theso depressing conditions can be banished by the use of Sanatogen, which is as potonta remedy for them as quiuino is in oon. bating the rigors produced by the early attacks of the Malaria parasite.
Saratogan is a chemical combination of glycero-phosphate of rodínia, the active principle of the nervous system, with milk proteid, the great body-building element of milk. Thus combined, they form a substance which is ready soluble in water, sul se easily assimilated that it is absorbed within an hour after it has been taken To its remarkable power in Malaria, tribute has been paid by a large number of physicinus with a wide experience of the ravages of this scourge of the Tropies,
Ona of the leading physiciane in the whole of tho United Province of India says:-"I havo muck pleasure in certifying to the value of Sanatogen in cases of Malaria, Enteric Fevor, Dysentery, and other exhausting diseases. In ue single instanco have I been disappointed with Ita results. I can honestly affirm that many of ay worst caso owed their recovery to Sanatogen, I cannot speak too highly of its valec."
Similar statemaita might be multiplied indo- Bustoly, for thousands of lotters testifying to the banofits Malaria afarers have derived from Sanatogen have been written by grateful patients as well as by their physicians.
Saastogon's power in revitalising and resou stituting the blood is shown by the following case selected from hundreds which have been reported in the medical pross-A woman sullering from Anemia had lost weight, and was so weak that she suffered from profuse reating at night, and had to take to her bed. She had only 5,800,000 rail corpuscles per eubis millimetro, with 48 por cent of hemoglobin. He was given Sanatogen, and in a fortnight her red corpuscles had increased to 4,000,000 per cubic millimetre, the hemoglobin had risen 16.52 per cont, the sweating had stopped, she was able to leave her bed and developed so much energy that she returned home and resumed her domestic duties without sny difficulty.
Senatogen has us great an action in Dysentery as it has in Maluria, while for the ordinary lassitudo and lack of tone insidontal to life in the Tropics it is unsurpassed.
His Highness the Maharajah Bahadur of Darbhanga states he has derived great benefit from Sanstogon," which he further characterises na "really a good thing."
The Honourable Mr. Justice Robertson, Judge of the Supreme Court, Lahore, Panjab, states:
My experience with Sauntugen has been very favourable. I took it for some weeks during the most trying season of the your, June, July, August, in Lahore, and found it a great strengthener,"
As a revitalising, energising and reconstituent preparation, Sanatogen's merits have been: attested by nine physicians to mine European sovereigns as well as by over twelve thousand other doctors, somo of them the most dis tinguished in the world,

A TELEPHONE RECORDER.
The telephone telegraph is the idea of threa Danish ongineers, and its purpose is to leave. a recorded message for any subscriber called. who away or otherwise prevented from respond- ing to the call. The transmitting upparatus includes a keyboard like that of the ordinary typewriter. The receiving apparatus prints the message on a tape in ordinary characters, and single communications or a series of them can be sent at any time, to awa it prompt attention on the subscriber's rotura,
A JAPANESE AUTIST IN LONDON,
COLOURED MOVING PICTURES, Probably the most anccessful coloured photo- graphs are obtained by taking three simultaneous pictures under different light-filter plates of the three primary colours, and then wing thres lantores to project upon a screen the partial pictures from the blue, red and groen filtors, sa that all will fall on one spot. The partial plotares combine to give a complete picture in natural colours. For a dozen years or more Wm. Friese Green, an English photographer, has been perfooling a cinematograph using the three colour process," and has found that for coloured moving pictures actual superposition is not necessary, the exposures being made in rapidly succeeding alternations of red, grean and no altors. An endless band of transparent Mr. Marking isun artist who has won recogni-

CLOTH WITHOUT WEAVING. Successful artificial fabrics made from
oollulose without weaving are anticipated by a Garman authority. Various processus bave boon patented in two alisses. In one class, the cellulose paste is divided mechanically into fila meats, which are assembled in an interlacing network of various types; but in the second class the cellulose solution is given a kind of throus crystallization by chemical action, the fibres being laid in all directions in a kind of felt instead of in geometrical patterns. The second class is thought to be the more promising.
SUCTION SUPPORTS FAR LIGHT OBJECTS.
Brackets supported by rubbor suction cups may be attached to a window pane or other smooth surface, and are so well made as to hold up a shaving mirror for weeks,
BUTTERFLY HEARING.
A sense organ hitherto overlooked in creatures so well known as the Noctuidae, a family of butterflies or moths, is the surprising recont discovery of German naturalists. The regular fight of the butterflies while persons approach- ing were still at a considerable distance away led Tetens to suppose that they must have some organ for porosiving sound, and he concluded two pit-like depressions at the first posterior segment of the body might be crgaus of hur ing. Au investigation by Dr. Denganor seems to confirm this theory. At the line of separation of the body and the abdo- men, near the points of attachment of the rear wings a deep channel toward the surface is surrounded by a number of humps, and the ridge nearest the back has true sensitory cells and sensitory hairs. Though in a unusual location, the sensitory ridge seems to have the charseter of a real sense organ.

I came back to my place in Milar-stroot and told the landlady I was going to remove on the same day, She was so astonished, and explained me it was the English custom to give one week's notice. Here I learnt another lesson of English life. I felt myself.
savage, and was ashamed so much.
But I could not control myself for a long week to wait, so I gave a full wook payment to her and said, "All the same, I shall go. Sho would not accept that. She said, "Give me only half of that, as you did out kuow our custom" nnd she told me with moisted dyes. that she would miss me very much. In fact, I had quits comfortable life there. She had taken care of me very kindly. It was my pleasure every night when I came back from the school to see my window lit up with the firelight inside, and to find a hot bottle in my bed. I was quite sad when I shook her hand for good-bye.

TELEPHONE TENDING THE CLOCK. Making the telephone set and wind the clook is a novel ides lately patented by W. W. Deon. The limb of the telephone line that, when out of use, is connected to ground at the central office, is in the new system connected to the subscriber's hook later, and runches ground through a lower contact and the coil that winds and sets the clock. The ground to ground cironit has no ro- salt. When the clock is to be set and wound. a master clock at the proper instant closes a circuit, momentarily switching current from a battery at the central offleo to ground through the winding sad setting coil. The clock is then acted on by the coil.

But it is wholesome to have a criticism which. we are rather fond of aiming elsewhere turned back on parselves. Mr. Markino lores his English friends, "but no sooner than I have to do any business with them. I over so often have been disappointed with them. The soal of Japan is honour, and the son of Engloud is. business"
