Brain Fag, Nervous Exhaustion-
Just a change of opinion was enough to give Mr. W. King his present prosperity, for be realised in the nick of time that his way was not curing bis brain fag and nervous exhaustion, so he tried the Phosferine way. Mr. King's method was to ignore his despondency and feeling of collapse, and persuade himself there was nothing unusual in the painful fatigue the lightest effort to work cost him, until, as he steadily got worse, he resolved to drop his own opinion and see what Phosferine could, do. The result was so astonishingly bereficial, even after a few doses, that the brain fag and nervous exhaustion ceased entirely, enabling bim to do more work than before and yet not feel the strain. This remarkable advantage is seen in the extraordinary energy and vigour of Mr. King's public speaking, and so amazingly have his prospects improved since his speedy recovery, that he declares he had to come forward with the evidence of the magnificent benefit be derived from Phosferine.
Quite Gone-Never Return.
Mr. W. J.King, School House, Trumpington Rd., Forest Gate, London, E., writes: "I am writing to add my name to the list of those people who have found Phosferine to be the Greatest of all Tonics. Some time back I was very much run down through overstrain brought on by incessant bodily exercise and mental application. The usual tendency of mankind is to give up some of their work, have a rest, and at the same time take medicine, so I endeavoured to keep going on without seeking advice, but as I was getting worse I found that policy would not do. Having heard many friends speak about Phosferine, and one in particular offering me some, I decided to give it a trial. Purchasing a 2/6 bottle, I began to doctor myself. The result not only astonished me, but others also noticed how much better 1 was, even although I had only taken a few doses. I found I could do the same amount of work cast, and at present am able to do more than before and yet not feel the strain. I have a good deal of public speaking, and I find an occasional dose of Phosferine is a great benefit."May 28, 1912.

TAR PAVING.
Coal-tar mixed with a mineral and vegetable substanco is claimed by the Lindenhof Chemical Works as a successful road-paving, substitute for asphalt. Inte a heated vat is placed 1,000 parts of tar, and to this is added 200 to 300 parts of fine sawdust, or even wood-shavings or chips, with 400 or 500 parts of ground chalk, marl or ashes. Tho mixture is stirred until homogeneous, the tempera ture being kept between 150deg. and 180deg. C. The mass can be moulded into paving blocks, or it can be rolled into a uniform and elastic layer, which resists wear, heat and cold.

ONE DEATH TO 90,000 MILES TOWN.
According to statistics compiled in France, last year saw a great diminution in the proportion of fatal aviation acoid- ents to the aggregate distance flown.
The number of aviators and passengers killed was 185 (three of them were killed in the Balkan War). It is computed that for each of these fatalities 5,600 separate flights were made, and a distance of 12.000 miles was flown. The comparison
with previous years is shown in the fol lowing table:-
Iceberg indicators have failed because. the ice warms the surrounding water! This statement was made two years ago 1908 by HC Barnes, of McGill University, 1900 and in late experiments he has proven 1910. that the chilled water sinks, drawing 1911 down the melted ice water, and causing 1912 a low toward the ice of surface water, which is slightly warmer than usual because not cooled by normal vertical cir culation.

CAN BE CURED ONLY BY PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
For cleansing the blood of all impurities, from whatever cause arising, there is no other medicine just as good as Clarke's Blood Misture that's why in thousands of cases of skin and blood diseases it has effected truly remarkable cures where all other treat
ents have failed..
The Editor of the FAMILY DOCTOR," London's popular medical weekly, writes: "We have seen hosts of letters bearing testimony to the truly wonderful cures by Clarke's Blood Mixture. It is the first Blood Purifier that Science and Medical Skill have brought to light, and we can with the utmost confidence recommend it to our subscribers and the public generally."

How great is the dependence of hardy fruits upon pollination by insects--and especially by hive bees-has been shown by experiments lately reported to the London Linnean Society by Cecil H. Hooper. Strawberries where exposed to winde, set fruit without insects; raspber rics and loganberries, without insects. develop imperfectly shaped fruit; and currents and gooseberries are completely dependent on insects, without which pollination is lacking and no fruit is set. These various plants set fruit when fertilized with pollen of the same variety or even of the same flower.
