Alty Constable
Nervous Depression,
Lassitude, Rheumatism
THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 18гa, 1911
From all lands, deputations come to study the method which has made the London Constable superior to all others. "The method by which I make myself equal to my work," says Constable Lawrence, "consists of taking. Phoslerine at intervals, as in this way I keep myself alert mentally and physically." Since taking Phosferine, Constable Lawrence can romain on "point" dury in all weathers, controlling the amazing volume of City traffic, without experiencing the terrible nerve strain and weariness which formerly distressed him. Even amongst men who excel, Constable Lawrence is known as an exceedingly capable officer, equal to any emergency, and be dochures that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himself in this Sne condition.
Quite removed.
Constable Lawrence, 398, High Road, Tottenham, writes - Possibly there is not an occupation more nerve trying than that of a "point-duty policeman, especially when the roads are slippery and the drivers have a difficulty in holding up their horses. Add to this, the skidding of mctor omnibus and the dodging of lexi-cals, &c., it will be seen that my duty is not a pleasant one. I am sure that no one would care to change places with us for more than a few minutes, for it would at once be felt that the dangers are too numerous to cope with. Policemen look big, strong-nien, but are just as likely to get run down in health as other men, and this is what happened to me, sometime ago, when I suffered from headaches, nerve-depression, lassitude and rheumatic pains. After trying many re nedies, I was recommended; Pirosfarine, and can say that it is a wonder lul renewer of health, and seems to put fresh life into one from the first dose. I am now quite mise again, and very thankful that Phosferine was brought to my notice-March 5, 19ra

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
GROWING OLD..
That wo die before 90 or 100, or have disenso, is mainly our own fault, we are told by a new work of Dr. A. Loraud, of Carlsbad, who showe that cld nge does not begin with failure of the arteries, but with degeneration of the ductless glands--especially the liver, the kidneys, the thyroid, or the adrenale. The glands govern the processes of metabolism and nutrition of the tissues and remove the poisonous products introduced with food and air or formed as waste. After their degeneration, the processes of metabolism, or well building and destruction, are diminishad, and there is an in crease of fibrous tissue at the expense of the mor highly developed structures. Degeneration mag result from various causes. These include the use of alcohol and tobacco in excess, overwork and too little exercise, and mental emotions especially sorrow, grief and anxiety. Following ordinary hygienic rules lessons the burden on these glands, tending to prorent premature old age and early death.
SIMPLY TELEPHOTOGRAPHY,
Not least of the advantages claimed for the elephoto camera of Vautier and Schner, of Geneva, is its suitability for use on noreplanos, The ordinary long-distance camera, using a com- bination of leases, absorbs so much light that snapshots cannot be taken, and the use of a single long focus lens in an ordinary eaters. would give the apparatus too cumbersome a length. In the new camera, the image of the distant object is reflected by one mirror to a second, and then to a single long faons lens This makes it possible to use a lons of 48 inches?" focus in a length of 16 inches, and very brilliant instantaneous views are obtained.

fancot lowers the pressure, turning the starting switch, and the pressure switches off the motor at the tired point.
INTELLECT. AND EVOLUTION.
Man is no longer growing in mental capacity, if the conclusions of a British anthority, Neville Chamberlain, aro correct. He makes a distino. tion between intellect, pure and simplo, and the qualities that together make up what is called character, and finds it doubtful if the races often regarded as inferior are at any disadvantage in pure intellect. It is unfair to decide mantel capacity by comparing those who have had the benefits of education giving the accumulated experience of centuries-with semi-savages who have been brought up in the bush. Two genera tions ago the Japanese were thought to be little botter than barbarians, of small intellect, and the Babus of Bensal and the aborigines of Australia were similarly rogarded, but now they take front maak in modern universities often excelling Eampeans at examinations. More important to average suozens than great. ntellectual ability are the qualities constituting character-such as courage; earnestness, deter mination, judgment and sympathy, Even those traits must be preserved and strengthened: by the same process of natural selection that has so powerfully influenced physical evolution, and the character of the individuals has mudə the character of nations. An lo-Saxon success. past and fature, may be looked upon as a result of national character, rather than any fancied

GREATEST MISFORTUNE.
The old saying that "distance lends enchantment" was never more aptly to the point than when applied" to those people whose breath is fadeh with evil smelling odours. Many persons appear most attractive at a distance, but produce a feeling of pity and disgust when close to because of the condition of their breath. For instance, It makes little difference how beautiful a woman may be, or how charming her manner if her breath. is foul, her charm is gone and she is at a dis- advantage when ever she comes in contact with other people. Foul breath in women arouses in man a feeling of repugnance and a desire to get out of the company of such a woman as quickly as possible, and even women will avoid her. It is therefore important for every woman who values her personal attraction to take such care of herself that this unpleasant and unnecessary complaint is avoided or corrected. Men, women and children who are troubled with this complaint will drive their friends away more rapidly than any other affliction. People do not realise their breaths are bad because they are like those who are constantly employed among paints and varnishes-they get used to what is to others a most offensive smell. In nearly all cases this condition is due to Constipation and a disordered Stomach, and a coated Tongue, slight Headache, and feverishness are the sure signs that the digestive organs are retaining quantities of impurities from which the system should be free, thereby causing the Breath to become charged with the foul odour. In Dr. Morses' Indian Root Pills there will be found a searching, cleansing remedy which will drive the masses of decaying corruption that poison the Blood and contaminate the breath-from the system through the regular channels. They get at the cause as no other remedy dots. They get at the the foundation of the complaint. They give you clean bowels, a healthy stomach, a lively liver, and blood that is rich and red. They are safe, sure and reliable remedy, and will prevent many of the complaints so common if taken once or twice a week to keep the system a healthy condition. They are purely vegetable, and their action is not accompanied by any nauscous or griping sensation, but is mild and gentle,

described by W. E. Hardenburg, the apparatus gnisl holes burnt through lengthwis by heated corsists of two logs of hard wood with stones. The thicker of the two legs gives out two gravo uotes when struck, the thinner two aqule notes. Hanging from timbers, the logs are beaten with rubber tipped clubs, and: signals are set by a code based on the differ ence of tone and the length and number of blows. In this way, messages are exchanged to distances of seven to ten miles.

The instinct is aroused whole earth, Dr. Fritsche ured the suddenly by the movement of the mause, frat records of 800 places, the computed result appearing during the kitten's second mouth of being 146 deres C.

FORCING METALS INTO GLASS. Heavy metals have been introduced into glass by means of the electric current by two Germsa experimenters, A. Heydweiller and F. Kopfer- mann. A small tube of soda- Jass or pota h-einss closed at the hottom was filled with a fused mixture of sodium and potassium nitrates and was immersed in fused salt of the heavy metal, Current was applied through platinum wires, the mixture within the tubo forming the cathode or negative pole, and the metallic salt outside serving as anode. Sodium, potassium, barium atroniium, strontium, lead, tin, copper iron, cobalt and silver' were thus introduced into the glass electrolytically, but with gold, platinum and uranum the attempts were unsuccessful. The temperatures in the successful trials were above 200 C. The metals penetrate the glass in tho colloidal form, giving colours varying with conditions, and on heating change to the metallic state or to oxides. Some metals diffuse into glasa without the electric current, though very much more slowly.
