A City Constable.
Nervous Depression,
Lassitude, Rheumatism
From all lands,deputations come to study the metlied which has made the London Constable superior to all others. "The method by which I make: myself-gnal to my work," says: Constable Lawrence, consisty of. taking Phosferine at intervals, as in this way I keep myself alert mentally, and physically." Since taking Phosferine, Constable Lawrence can remain on "point" duty in all weathers, controlling the amazing volume of City trahe, 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 he declares that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himself in this fine 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 motor.omnibus and the dodging of taxi-cabs, &c., it will be seen that my duty is not a pleasant one. I ara stire that no one would care to change places with us for more than a few minutes, for it would at eace be felt that the dangers are too numerous to cope with. Policemen look bigr strong men, 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 sullered-from headaches, nerve-depression, lassitude and rheumatic pains. After trying many reniedies, I was recommended Phosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful renewer of health, and sens to put fresh life into one from the first dose. I am now quite myself again, and very thankful that Phosferine was brought to my notice." March 5, 1910.

A
PLAGUE IN THE EAST IN 1910.
Health Offeer at Shanghai, on the working of The report of Dr. Robert H. Cox, Port the Sanitary Station for the year 1910 contains the following remarks:-
There was a marked diminution. this year in the number of cases of plagae at all the neigh touring ports at which this disease is endemic, and, for the first year since the epidémie of 1994, Hongkong was not declared infected. At Pakhoi a severe epidemic occurred during the sunsper which caused a third of the population to flee in panic from the city. Cases were recorded at Singapore. Bangkok. Saigon, Manila, Hongkong, Canton, Swator, Amoy Manchuria, Hankow. Shanghai, Kobe and Osaka, but in none did the disease attain the magnitude of an epidemic during the year. The local ontbraak in Hongkow in Cletobor was fortunately prevouted from spreading by the before being hindered by the riotous populace. energetic action of the Municipa Health floer With 2 per cent, of the rate of Shangbal plague- infected such outbreaks must be expected from time to time, especially during the warmer weather, when rats and their fleas breed, and this approach of old weather, when the rats with DEW ON CLOUDY.

That the disease in Han- shuria bas assumed the rapidly fatal pneumonic type myy, possibly be explained by the supposi tion that the plague bacillus has become more virulent by passage through the marmot than through the rat, as corn improves when grown in virgin soil. Cholera, though appearing at nearly all the ports of China, and Japan, only became epidemio at Swatow and neighbourhood, where in May and June 3.000 deaths from this disease are said to bave occurred. The following modification of the suggestions by the first biennial meeting of the Far Eastern Association of Tropical Medicine bas been adopted as rules for Shanghai, and, as far” as possible, other Chinese ports:---
FLIGHT WITH WINGS,
Man has not yet sucoseded in dying by the method of nature, but in a lato address to the Liverpool Aeronautical Society, W. F. Thomp son suggested that this would probably give the best results. In natural flight aeroplanes, bave served only auxiliary purposes. No aria tor has yet successfully used winge, but this may have been due not only to mechani cal diffoulties but also to the tendency of in. ventors to follow in the wake of the man sobie ing the first success, instead of trying to work out a new line. The smallest wing area on "A port or place shall be declared infected· abling any known animal or bird to rise from for guarantine purposes when Plague, Cholera, OF Yellow Fever is known to be epidemic there. leval ground is about a square foot to every 24 A disease shall be considered epidemic when pounds to be Bfted. The albatross has about 3 pounds of weleht per square foot of wing surface, but cannot rise from level ground being obliged to dive off from a cliff or a steep declivity. Applying the same data, a man would need 160 square feet of wing sur. face to rise at once from the ground if his own weight and that of his machine were each 150 pounds. By running a long distance on the ground, or using a motor-car or hillside to start from, aeroplanists have been able to fly with 3 to 3 pounds to the square foot, and if
a man with winge could do the same, the size of each of the two wings neaded would be about 26 feet long by 33 feet wide. For a man to uss such wings with his own muscles or the old time engines is impossible Engines are now to he had weighing only 3 to 4 pounds per horse. power, and these make the solution of the problem seem nearer.
DRY CLEANING BY WATER.
New vaouuni-cleaners are operated by streams of water. In one form, a suction fan i driven by a water-motor attached to the kitchen, faucet or a suitable tank, and a tube leads. the dust from the collecting nozzle-that. is moved, over the rug or other surface to be cleaned to the climber of the fan. An ad. vantage of this method of cleaning is that the dust is carried by the water into the draine. A A PAVEMENT WITHOUT DEBT,
A durable and dustless road pavement is. claimed by Francis Wood, a British engineer, in a combination of two-inch grauite with Trinidad lake bitumen. It is said to cost less than macadam and to be good for at least 15 years, experiment having shown that it wil stand waar, tear and wet better than any other. Paving ever tried.

The pasty viscous mass produced by this action is mixed with coarsely ground rock salt, and then, in a press mould armed with pins, it is pierced with a maltitude of little causly, imitating the pores of s natural sponge. After the necessary porosity is obtained the material is given a prolonged washing in dilute alcohol, to remove the excess of salts.
