Carolina, announces the most important
discovory ever made by an American chemist. By distilling thorium oxide in a 914 quartz tube with carbon and chlorine, ho produces substances of specific gravities and atomic weights differing from those of substances in use. What he calls. Berzilium appears in a greenish vapour, which he condenses. Carolinium adheres to the quartz in crystals, leaving a certain remnant of thorium. The importance lies loss in adding two more to the seventy odd elements than in adding two to half-a-dozen known radio-active, self-luminous sub. atances. Dr Baskerville has five grammes of the pinkish powder called after his State, and two and a half grammes of the greenish powder which takes its name from Bezzilius, who saw its vapour without identifying or golidifying it. Thorium oxide is white, and North Carolina produces half a million dollars worth annually.
Dr. Baskerville ia concerned only with the scientific aspects of his studies, which have engrossed him since his graduation in 1890. He is now thirty-three years of age. Commentators discover a commercial value

Poor Paddy was astounded, but away he

LONDON, May 18. The debate on Mr Campbell-Banner- man's motion on the Budget was resumed in the House of Commons to- day.
Sir Wm. Harcourt, in a speech which be declared would be his last public address, strongly supported the motion,
which condemned the recent increase in the expenditure.
He attributed this to a spirit of an nexation, raids, retaliation appeals and international jealousy.

In the course of a couple of hours or Ro the House of Commons voted away up- wards of £16,000,000, and át no point in the discussion was the subject really threshed out. Mr Edmund Robertson, one of the ablest critics of our naval policy in the House, made some valuable observa- tions, and Bir Charles Dilke, Mr Gibson Bowles and several others also delivered more or less effective criticisms on points of detail, but as a whole the discussion was lamentably inadequate and never really tackled the supreme question aquarely- why all this money should be required. The true note was sounded a remarkable eassy printed in Tuesday's Manchester Charlian, written by Mr G. J. Shaw Lefevre, an old naval expert of high capa- city and sound judgment. He analysed that it would be easy enough to eave the position with lucidity and pointed out £7,000,000 out of the £11,500,000 devoted this year to naval construction and mostly wasted thereon. The table in the estimates is framed, saya Mr. Shaw-Lefevre, on the

assumption, and excluding vessels of older date, the cost of the construction of all our
chines is put at £104,000,000, and it ia further stated that on the abovə azsump-.. tion as to the life of such vessels an annual expenditure of £4,500,0xi would be sufli. cient to replace them as they fall out after the very short lives assigned to them. If we continue to spend £11,500,000 each year on new contruction, instead of the £4,600,000 necessary to maintain the fleet at its present overwhelming strength, in an- other ten years' time. after striking out the vessels which will have run off the list. in the interval, we shall have a stock of completed fighting ships of all descriptions

As Mr Shaw-Lefevre points out the ta bulated list of battleships actually built by France, Russia, and Germany, excluding all launched before 1883, brings out the fact that we alone have brought into exis- tono exactly the same number as these three powers together within this period of time, viz, 41 vessels, and that the capacity of our vessels is 550,000 tons as of the vessels built by these thres powers compared with 400,640 tons for the whole

This successful and highly popular remedy, as ruployed in the Continental flospitals by Ricord, Rostan, Jobert, Velpeat, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the klad and surpasses everything hitherto employed.
THERAPION No. 1
in a remarkably short time, often a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injetons, the use of which does irre- parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.
THERAPION No. 2
