A City Constable
Nervous Depression,
Lassitude, Rheumatism
From all lands, deputations come to stud the method which has made the London Coustable superior to all others "The method by which I make. myself equal to my work," says Courlable Lawrence. "consists of taking Phosterine 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 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 he declares that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himseli 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.bave a difficulty in holding up their horses. Add to this, the skidding of motor omnibus and the dodging of taxicabs, &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 ns 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 men, but are just as likely to get run down in bealth 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 reinedies, I was recommended Phosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful renewer of bealth, and seems to put fresh life into one from the first dose, I am now quite myself again, and very thankful that Phosfering was brought to my notice."-March 5, 1910.—--

A strong light favour the deve in the beat, and a weaker light lends instest to. lopment of large stores of reserve material, as promote the growth of vegetative organs.

EARTHQUAKE FORESTRY,
To prevent earthquakes seems to be the most surprising of the many reasons for restoring forests. It is suggested that in such locolitios as Blemina and southern Italy entting away the forests has loosened the soil, and this may have given riso to faults and added to the earthquake disturbances or their effects. If this theory is correct, of course, roplanting the frees should úgain bind the loose material with zoote, giving the surface its old-time greater stability.
THE IRON THAT GEOWA, Since the growth of east-iron under repeated heatings first attracted attention some years sgo, various explanations have been offered. Superheated steam conses high-pressure steam ralves to become enlarged, and in the great Baltimore-fire-cast-iron-besias were so changed by the intense heat as to distort and rain masonry buildings, while the buildings in which cast-steel had been used were not affected, Repeated heatings canse cast iron bars to become porous and cracked, Prof H. Carpenter, a British metallurgist, explains that the growth has now been definitely ascribed to the chemical reaction that takes place between the flame gases and the constituents of the iron especially to the change of alicen to silica, and also to the reaction between the fine gases and the gases originally dissolved in the iron. To obtain iron that will not grow it has been necessary to give care to, its composition. The allicon must be removed as nearly as possible, and all carbon contained must be in chemical combination with the iron, nene being present in the free state.
BARTH TREMORS PROM CHANGING AIR PRESSURE.
Changes of pressure over the great aress of high and low barometer that persist for long periods: over much of the earth's surface are regarded by Dr. Otto Klotz as a cause of carth vibrations, or microseisme. The creation or alteration of these arend shifts a vast loaf, and ny set op vibrations in blocks of the earth's crust covering tens of thousands of aquaro miles. Differences of temperature or the transient différences due to the passage of storm or fairs weather areas would have little influente The. nature of the vibrations produced is possibly dependent on di modified by markel geologi- cal configuration, and when once set up the vibrations may continue long after the cause has disappeared..
ENGINE ECONOMY, Though aeroplane engines represent a gain in lightness, they show a loss fa fuel economy. Bech is the reelt of tests carried out at the National Physical Laboratory in England, where it has been Jenrned that the Grome engine, sa famous for lightness per horso-power uses 0.89 pound of fuel por brake horse-power hour, while a good automobile.engine ruus on 0.54 pound.
BAKING TV TEAM WITHOUT PRESSURE, A water is rated above 212 dag. F. the pressure rises very rapidly with the increasing temperature of the steam, but the new method of anperheating without the water may give sleni u tomperature higher than that of red hot iren with a pressure perhaps not exceeding a pound per square inch. This method has been applied to heating bakers' ovens, Super- heated steam has been used in the old way. for baking, but the temperature of 700 deg. or 800 deg. or more develops a pressure that may resob. 2,000 pounds per square inch, and as the steam-pipes passing around the aren. become, rasted and worn there is aneh risk from bursting pipes. By the new plan, the steam is Drst generated in a small boiler. It is then passed through a number of pipes in á furnace, and is there superbested to 1,000 do. grees before entering the pipes of the pen. In the process of baking only a part of the heat is girea off, the steam being loft, subcreatly hot for boiling and other purposes before it condanses again to water. Steam anperboated in this way, being safe and economical, is recommended for a variety of uses
