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 mitkod 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 him. Even amongst men who excel, Constable Lawrence is known as an exceedingly capable officer, equal to any einergency, and he declares that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himself in this fine condition.
Quite removed.
Constable Lawrence, 398, High Road, Tottenbaru, 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 pairs. After trying many remedies, I was recommended Phosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful renewer of health, and seeins 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.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
WORKING IN DUST,
TALKING MOVING PICTURES Phonossenes, or talking moving pictures, have boon much in the minds of inventors for a long time. M. Gaumont, a Frenchninn, has been working eight years on the problem of combining the cinematograph with the Phograph or gramophone, so that speaking ing scenes; and he has been at last so for characters may be represented in the mov-
Stene-cutting is a safe occupation in the open air, as shown a British Royal Commission on Mines and Quarries, and it is in factories- especially with the use of machine tools-that the dust becomes dangerous to health. The effoots of different kinds of dust have beon in- vestigated by Dr. E. L. Collins. Cotton dustful that at a recent menting of tho Paris which is very light, leads to a typical form of val appeared on the screen and delivered an Academy of Sciences an image of M. d'Arson- nsthma; and coarse amory and glass dust cause explanatory address with gestures. Two chief the symptoms of old ago bronchitis-not phthisisillionlties have had to be overcome.

Fibrous condition of the tissues is produced by dast that is not chemically broken up and absorbed in the lungs, and silicious dust is par ticularly dangerous.

A MUSEUM OF ACTION.
The proposed industrial museum at Berlin is designed to represent German industries, with new inventions and products. The permanent exhibits are to include lantern slides and cinematographic views, [showing the evolution andures of inventions, stages in the dovelop ment of industries, and ethor festures of progre: 3.
A KENABKABLE POISON.
The most powerful poison known bas boon extracted by a German chemist from the seeds of the ricinus, the familiar caster-oil plant, and has been attracting mach attention on account of its remarkable properties. Its power is es. timated to be so great that a gram- about a thirtieth of an ounce-would kill a million and a half guinea-pigs. If administered so as to cause severe illness without death it gives im- munity against a larger quality, and the dose can be gradually increased until more than 8 thousand times a much can be endured os would, kill an untreated animal. Though arsenic, mor.. phine and other poisons can be taken in larger and larger quantity, nothing approaching this marvellous increase of dose can be borne. The : rioinna poison bas effects much like those of living bacteria, and in immunized animals en antitoxia is formed, and injections of their bloo Forum may care animals that are already in danger or have become ill from ricinus polcoming. EARTH SOUNDS IN THE PHILIPPINES.
The mysterions underground noises of many parts of the world-vavionsly known as barisal guns, pouffoure, marinae, etc.-Buare attracted the notion of the Filipinos, Rev, M. Sadern Moso finds that in the Philippines the soundeare heard on enclosed bays or inter-island seas and rarely on the open, ceast, and occur most often between twilight and dawn and especially during the bat periods of March, April and May, though in the Pangasian province they aro-chiefly con Ained to the rainy season. They almost always seem to come from the monataisainland. They ara usually low rumblings, not unlike thunder, and the natives commonly believe that they are due to waves breiking on beaches or in cavernis and are connected with approaching typhoons or other weather changes. This explanation is thought to be reasonable. The typhoons are often heralded days in advance by very heavy swells, and special atmospheric conditions may carry the sounds far, their apparent inland origin being due to reflection.

PLATE OR PAPER FOR COLOURED
PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS,
A method of producing coloured photograplio prints that may be viewed direct is claimed by
• now British patent. A transparent surface has superimposed on it threa transparent layers- to serve as a colour screen, a layer of orange being ruled in parallel lines, and dots of grean and violet being then applied between the lines. Gaide-warks serve for accurate registering. 'An opaque plate is prepared in exactly the same way, except that the rulings are in colours com. plementary to those first used, and this plate is wyered with an emulsion of silver bromide and gelatine. A negative of the object to be reproduced is taken on an ordia. ary sensitive plate rough the screen The negative is used for printing on the prepared opaque plate in the usual man. nor, and the print is developed and fized. The result is a picture in the colours of the 'original, bat covered with black dots of reduced silver The dots may be bleached with aerourio or emp rie chloriile-changing the silver into its white chloride-and the plate is dried without washing,"
