A City Constable
Nervous Depression,
Lassitude, Rheumatism
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 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 traffic, without experiencing the terrible nerve strain and weariness which formerly distressed bin. 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, Tottenhamn, 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 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 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 suffered from headaches, nerve-depression, lassitude and rheumatic pains. After trying many remedies, I was recommended Thosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful tonewer of health, and seetris 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,

NEW FIBEZ FOR PAPER. The next great stop in utilizing farm waste may be a change in the maunfacture of paper as the wood fibre available will probably be ex- hausted within a few years. Experiments by the U. S. Department of Agriculture have shown that almost any long Bbre can be used for paper, and that such waste materials as cot ton-stalks and corn stalks make papor of very good quality-almost equal to linen. Besides these and olhor wasten, various plante that can be grown or obtsized in large quantity are being tried. Grasses of many kinda are being tested, and among them is es- parto, an African graan now largely grown in southern Europe, which is doing already used for paper for English newspapers. Bamboo, rice roots and other planta from Japan and Chins are being obtained for study in continu lug the search for the paper-making materiale of the near future,

THE BALLOONIST'S INSIDOUS FOE. Ultra-violet rays must be considered aren by aeronauts, as V. Heuri, a French chemist, has shown that they have a material and rapid effect on rubber. Whon pure rubber and varying mixtures with mineral anbatances were exposed 8 inches from a mercury-vapour Ismp with quartz tube, thoro wae marked deterioration-within 20 hours in the case of pure rubber, but produced more slowly, in the other samples. The purs rubber rapidly became darker, more shiny, and {| filled with crack when stretched. Though much lees affected, vulcanized rubber showed similar changes in 48 to 72 hours; but in rubber impregnated with mineral matter of some Finds the deterioration even after a much longer time was chiefly on the surface, The cause of change seemed to be oxidation,' which was promoted by some substances-like antimony. sulphide, and retarded by litharge and ether compounds. Balloons are bombarded by ultra- violet rays increasing with the height, and a lesson drawn from the investigation is that the gasbags should never be made from unvulcaniz- sil rubbar, and that the cloth should be coloured with lead chromate or other material that would screen off the ultra-violet rays.

WIND POWER FOR BRITAIN. The wind turbinaelectrical plant of a London manufacturer, designed for country houses, sto; } seems to have reached the stage of commercial success. One of the installations is at Corely Church, near Bilston, and thie is used not only for lighting the church but also for foeding-an alectric motor to blow the churah organ.” The wind-tarbine, 18 feet in diameter, is placed on 60 foot tower about 200 yards away, The power is transmitted by a vertical steel shaft to the generator, housed in a shed at the foot of the tower, and the current is stored in a battery of 28 calls. There are 3 lamps of 25 candle- power in the church with 30 in the vicange. The church lights require current at 50 volta, the organ the same and the vioarage lights 15 volts, and all are reported to bare operated satisfactorily. A tail governing gear regulates the action of the turbine, bringing it into or out of the wind according to the force. The oust of this plant was first cost of a plant with oil or gas engine, bnt operating expenses are avoided, no skilled mechanic is required, and about half an hour of attention wookly in all that is necessary.
