OVERWORK AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.
For every breach of her laws, remgrao- less Nature exacts a penalty. Sooner or later those who overtax themselves have to pay in broken sleep, constant lassitude, disordered memory, disorganised diges- tion and other disagreeable symptoms, which may end in a nervous breakdown, for their overdrafts on the bank of health. Formerly, recuperation from such con- ditions involved a long holiday with its enforced idleness, expense and anxiety. Now, doctors understand that these symp tome are due to the using up of the organic phosphorus of the body more. rapidly than the weakened organs ean take it from the food. To overcome the

Sir Charles A. Cameron, C. B., M.D., F.E.U.P., etc., the distinguished Medical Officer of Health and Public Analyst of Dubin, states: "Sanatogen contains
of organic relatively large amouut phosphorus which is offered to the tissue in exactly the form in which it can be absorbed.'
Sanatogen is, therefore, the ideal pre paration for those who suffer from over- work and its consequences.
Mr. A. G.

A bit of science in postage stamps is noted by S.-S. Buckley in a new stamp book. Until a little over a year ago both horizontal and vertical perforations were 14 in 2 centimeters in English stamps, but the less ready tearing along the horizontal lines was explained as due to a tendency of bres in achide-mada paper to take one direction, and change

The inventor, how- over, has announced the success of the solar engine for irrigation in Egypt. He Snds that 10 per cent of the earth's surface near the equator offers suitable conditions for sun-power, and while the first cost is twice that of an ordinary steam plant, the higher price of fuel and growing need of irrigation promise great profits.
A LESSON IN HYGIENE.
Making four divisions of the city of Derby, with a total population of about 120,000, the National Brotherbool of England have found a mean length of life for the four districts of, 30, 37, 40 and 47 years. The average lifetime is thus shown to vary as much as 17 years as a result of different health conditions in the same city.
A ROCK-CLIMBING FISH,
A singular catfish of the mountain streaus of Colombia has been brought to the notice of the New York Academy of Sciences by R. D. O. Johnson, an engineer lately returned from the Colombian nines. The fish, known to the natives as capitan" and much sought as food, resembles the horned pout of North America,
