A Grateful Wife
Maternity Weakness,
SKATES
Rheumatic Fever, Depression-
Just sitting still and thinking everything possible has been done, does not Butt Mrs. Wilson, for all the usual ways failing to restore her husband's health, she tried the Rayal way--the Phosferite way. The benefit was immediate, for all the depression and weakness of rheumatic fever, which change of air, diet, and friends had failed to relieve, diminished with wery dose of Phosfering. This triumphant outcome of Mrs. Wilson's devoted vigilance is typical of the exceptional efficacy of Phosferine, but of still desper importance is her assurance that before, during, and after child- birth she herself derived such an access of strength and vitality from Phosferine, that weakness, lassitude, or distress was not in any way experinced.
Decidedly Abolished.
Mrs. E. Wilson, 41, Bedford Road., Grays, Essex, writes:-My husband started taking Phosferine after a severe bout of rheumatic fever, and although he went away to the seaside for change of air failed to make any headway. He wrote complaining of always feeling tired. and despondent, and doubtful as to whether he would ever be able to: resume his business. I sent him a 2/9 bottle of Phosferine, and after a few doses, he felt a great deal of difference, and before his supply was Euished was quite himself again and ready and able to do a hard day's work with anyone. I am also very grateful for the good Phosferine has done me in maternity weakness, before my child was born I took it regularly and it strengthened me wonderfully, the subsequent tax upon my constitution was not half to great as one would naturally expect. I aa certain Phosferine taken by mothers is a great help both before and after child-birth, as it supplies just the strength needful at this line, and moreover, imparts- strength and stamina to both, and I assure you I am very proud of my beautiful baby girl."-February 8, 1910

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
THE NEW KINEGAL WATERS,
Of late the len has been growing that the curative effects of mineral waters are due chiefly to radioactivity, which may be lost in bottled natural watera and is not usually present in artifcial waters. This theory has led to the establishing of a novel industry at Kreuznach, Germany. The place has mines that produco radin salts, and the product is being used for making radioactive baths and beverages, which are credited with great powers of curing theama tism, gout, tumors, and other maladies Various size of cylindrical brass charging tanks, called activatore," are employed. These contain small amounts of the insoluble radium compounds and when water introduoad at the top has become sufficiently charged with exosastion the liquid in drawn off through is fauces. While the small apparatus for beverages may daad with only one to five quarts of water daily, the larger sizes may yield emanation enough to charge 40 or 50 baths. By this mathed, radiusctivity may be imparted to any kind of mineral water desired, and the degree may be regulated. The product must be kept at read until wanted, as it loses activity very rapidly on agitation.
TAGGING THE BIRDS.
Whether birds-especially migratory ones relorn to the same nets year after year is a question of much Interest to the ii naturalist. Swallows of the animer England do not winter north of Africa, but an observer at High Holden, Kent, haa recorded that one returned on April 13to & nest it coupled last year. It was recognized by a ring placed on ita leg May 8, 1909. To gain better knowledge of birds' habits, more than 2,000 British birds were last year marked with inscribed aluminum rings and twice as many more will be similarly tagged this year...

In his investigation, he addressed cer teir questions to 1,200 members of Alpine Clubs Swiss and foreigs, and received answers from 573.. Of those replying, 412 carried alkohol while mountaineering. There were but 54 total abstainers, but most of those who carried alcohol would use it only viry moderately and not at all until necessary.

ACTUAL CASE OF "SECOND SIGHT." A remarkable instance of "second sight" wse disclosed at an inquest in Indon held on Sarah Polikoff, who throw herself from Tower Bridge. Henry Eady, a waterman, of Alfreton street, EC., said he found the body in the Thames.
"When I get into my boat," he continued, "I had a presentiment that the body of a voman was among the files by Topping's Wharf."

HOW FIRES INDUCE COOLNESS.
PABADOXICAL CURE FOR HUMID HEAT Every one, ayaa Londos journal of June 17th, grumbled about the humid heat of last week, but no one thought of the ons remedy for it-to light the tires,
The whole thing is explained by the Lancet in the following article:
A BOILER FURNACE WITHOUT CHIMNEY, The chimneyless steam boiler and farmace now in operation on a Bussian torpedo boat, the invention of a Russian naval engineer named Sehmidt, disposes of its combustion gares by passing them into the steam of the engine's cylindera.

SAAT METAL INFECTION.
So-called contagious diseases of metals have been given special attention by Prof. Eruent Coben of Utrecht, who has found the phenomens really curious. Tir seems to be the most susp tible. When this is exposed to a bold below the freezing point of mercury, it becomes afficted with an eruption of pustules, losing its shixing surface in a dull gray, and or being cut with a saw it falls to powder or brests up into a bandie of fibres. The disease has extraordinary infective power. A few grains of the powder placed on the surface of a block of sound tin-

Another malady of tin cause the metal to olange structure and become crystalline, and this also can be trans- mitted by contact. It attacks aspecially soldered joints, affecting brass and lead in addition to tiu. Keating the diseased tin to 2350 degrees C, or within s degree of its melting point, does not affect its capacity for infection. The saggeted
artificial host, under the conditions mentioned, is one of the best means of getting rid of the
damp due to high saturation.
The resen for a fire-preferably of wood-- are obvious; the air is dried, a current is made through the room and sp the chimney, and the. saturated atmosphere is made enturable through radiation.
"Keoning the susceptibility of some people to certain atmospheric conditions, we merely wait for the weather to change, instead of trying to devise means by which accommoda tion to the existing elements may be obtained, either by modifying the external roaditions or by making the body barmonise better with its surroundings.
"During the hot weather of the first week in June of this year the way to combat anguor was to light a fire we are not at all sure that the public and the medial profession might not find between then other simple measures for dealing with physical ills, whose atmospheric origin am yet not onderstood."
