"This has given me New Health
and Nerve Power!"
A new lease of health, new strength and vitality, stronger nerves, better digestion, where before there was nervous exhmislion with all its miseries --such has been the happy experience of more than a million users of Sanatogen.
A typical case in point is that of Madame Olive Schreiner, the gifted author, whose Story of an African Farm has become a literary classic. She writes from the Cape of Good Hope :-
"The effect of Sanatogen upon nie has been most remarkable. Nothing that I have taken for years has given me such a sense of vigour and restored circulation. I shall never be without Sanatogen, and you may make any use you wish of this letter, as I am auxious that everyone who is suffering from nerve-weakness should try it.”
If you are a sufferer from nerve-weakness, low vitality, or poor digestion, it is simply a duty you owe to yourself and your family to investigate.. the claims made for
SANATOGEN
The Food Tonic
a true chemical combination of phosphorus and proteid, which nourishes and invigorates all the cells and tissues of the body, yet contaius nothing harmful-o stimulants
Or narcotics. It is especially valuable in dysentery, chronic diarrhea, and other stomachic disorders.
Write for Free Book.
Over 16,000 physicians, among them the very leaders in medical science, have publicly certified to the excellent results which they have obtained from Sanatogen in cases of nervous exhaustion, brain-fag, steeplessness, lassitude, ancemia, digestive disorders, and various wasting diseases.
You could not ask for more convincing assurance that Sanatogen will benefit you.

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANT.
THE PORTABLE ·ILLUMINANT.
The world's consumption of calcium carbide, produced at about 75 factories, was 200,000 tons in 1914, Europe taking 160,000 tons, and North America only 19,000, I supplies acetylene gas, of which a lending use in the United States is for 700,000 automobile lamps, but which in more employed for general illumination in other countries, France and Algerin having now 250 towns lighted with acetylene. The late neetylene exposition nt Paris has drawn attention anew to the advantages of this gas. Safety appara- tus of many kinds makes it not only a substitute for electricity or ordinary-gas- on a large or small scale, but adapts it for many places where these two agents are not available. As one of the humorous. interesting exhibits, a cousular report has brought to notice a so-called "light box." When this is plunged into a pail of water, an ingenious mechanient permits just enough water to enter automatically, and the gas given off can be made avail- able at any moment for lighting buildings in construction,
of accident, aviation grounds, or any large open space. Portable stakes hold the lamps where desired.

A NEW HORSR-POWER.
The myriawatt. lately endorsed by committers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, is pro- posed as a more convenient and precise standard unit than the horse power for rating the performance of steam boilers. stent and gas engines, and steam and water turbines. Its value in only two per cent. larger than the latest determina- tion of the boiler horse-powers." Its adoption would simplify and make uniform all power records, as the myriawatt for steam measurement equals ten kilowatts, the electrical unit already in us, both having the international wati as the primary unit.

Bragg at the last meeting of the British Association. The bit of radium is held in a short glass cylinder six inches in diameter, one end of which is closed with a glass plate, while a movable piston is fitted with moist air, the piston is drawn outward, when the sudden expan- sion cools the moisture, and a fog is formed that settles on the "ions that are left as trails of any alpha and beta rays,
By illuminating the fog and photographing it a picture showing the path of the rays is obtained. The alpha ray, which is a positively-charged helium particle, is projected by the exploding radio-active atoni with vefocity of 10.000 or 20,000 miles a second, but can penetrate only two or three inches of air or one or two thousands of an inch of heavier substances, like aluminum or gold. Its energy spent, it sinks to the level of a common atom. Its course, as proven by the pictures, "is a straight line, rarely showing a deflection, although it must pass through hundreds of thousands of atoms, mostly heavier than itself. The track of the beta ray is less obvious. This is a single negatively-charged portiels or electron, thousands of times smaller than the alpha particle; and its velocity is so great--sometimes approaching that of
