How to SORE
Avoid THROAT
This is one of the worst months. in the year as regards the risk of catching Sore Throat.
This painful malady is caused by germs invisible' atoms of plant lie which we inhale from the air,
The warmth and moisture of the mouth cavity, with its wrinkled surfaces containing residues of food, form ideal con ditions for the growth of these germs, which inflare anal irritate the lining of the throat.
A few Formamint Tablets, sucked like sweets, extirely rid the mouth cavity of germ growths, and thus cure Sore Throat in the shortest possible time.

THE GERM-KILLING THROAT TABLET
Signor Caruso, the world-famous tenor, writes :- have found Walling's Fornambu Tablett very beneficial to the throat, and pleasant to the taste."
Altrugh Formannini Tablets are pleasantly flavoured and quite harotless, they contain a powerful antiseptic which goes thoroughly over the lining of the mouth and throat, and is absolutely fatal to germ life. Therefore, they not daily cure and prevent Sore Throat. Tonsilitis, and month troubles, but offer safe, protection against grave infections diseases like Diphtheria, Scarlet Fever, Mensis, etc.
These cloiurs are thoroughly en- doral by the Medical Profession : there are thousands of testimonials written in the same strain as the two quoted above; and amongst

SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY,
NOVEL EARTH-TABORIES."
Some revolutionary geological views are advanced in a new work by A. T. Swaine, who would have us believe that organic sedimentary rocks came before igneous rocks and at a time when the earth was receiving no light and heat from the sun. Volcanoes came long after the beginning of life. As the nebula condensed, water was deposited, and in this miero-organisms appeared, and formed, the first crust of sediments. This mass was later fused from the heat of compression due to the earth's growth and that of radionetivity. All geologists recognize that great changes tonk place at the close of the Paleozoic era and it has been thought that up to that time there were no climatic zones and nrobably no sensonal changes. To explain. this and much besides, it is contended that the sun had been dark blazing up as a new star in the Permian period.
A WANTED METAL
Palladium, thonghi seldom mentioned, is a metal for which the demand is greater than the supply. It is the most fusible of the six metals of the so-called platinum group, melting at about 155deg. C., or about the temperature of wrought iroa, and is not altered or discoloured by exposure to air or hydrogen sulphide. It forms about one per ent of native platinum which is the chief source of Supply. The total production in the United States in 1011 was estimated`ni 4.000 troy ounces, about one-third from imported ores and billion, and importa of 1.218 ooners were reported. The arcateak uge seems to be for dental allövs. It is also employed however, for circles of astronomical instruments, in watch. making, for soldering platinum metals, and for plating inetul ware.

BARTHQUAKE, BOUNDS AND SHOCKS."
An investigation of the sounds of cartie quakes from British records has been published in Germany by Charles Davi- SOTE The rumblings are sometimes felt rather than heard. and resemble the passing of wagons, thunder, wind, the fall (of a land of stones or a heavy body, an exalusion, or some other sound of low nitch. Curious relations are traced Chetwerri the areas of shock and those of sotired. Strong earthquakes are, beard Lonly over a central area about, two-thirds
as large as the region of disturbance ;. moderate carthentakes are audible about as far as they are felt, and many slight earthquakes are heard beyond the dis- turbed area. The beginning of the sound usually comes before the shock, the end following the end of the shock, Earth- quakes, soom to be mostly due to the slips of growing faults, and the focus of simplast kind must have a central ragion of shock vibrations surrounded by a marginal region ~ chiedy · · yielding the sound vibration.
