THE PURE FOOD EXPERTS AGREE THAT
RAINIER BEER
REPRESENTS THE CHOICEST AND MOST PALATABLE INFUSION HOPS AND BARLEY MALT WHICH THE MODERN SCIENCE OF BREWING HAS PRODUCED.
RAINIER IS THE BEER OF QUALITY.
The conservatism of Government depart- ments generally is nowhere more operative than at the Board of Trade, a fact clearly under the Merchant Shipping Act, which nection with condensera for steam-turbine marino machinery. The justices, in giving their decision, obviously could not refrain from very severely animadverting upon enoies. The primary cause is probably the defects in the constitution of the Board of Trade, which arise from the lack of any re presentative character; and, largely as a re- sult of this, the officials, whose primary duty so far as engineering matters are con- cerned-is to ensure the safety of the public, refuse to take even problematical risks. There is no need to refer to the natural disinclination of the average Government official to accept responsibility of any kind; it is a paychological condition which comes with the conditions of servico; bocause, since neither initiative nor courage bringe OF promotion, there is little tendency to depart from the very prescribed limits of *uss and wont. The consequence has been that in the development of engineering science the Board of Trade has acted continuously and consistently as a brake, more or less severe. Almost innumerable instances might be quoted where progress in Britain has boon severely handicapped, in comparison with the free advance in foreign countries under less restrictive administration. The primary duty of the Board of Trade is towards the public; but it is also, contends Engineer- ing, responsible to the engineer and the shipbuilder. If, however, it appears that there is no real public question. and that, in their zeal for the public safety, the Board are unnecessarily imposing reatri- ctions upon industry-especially an indus- try in its development stage--the Court, however, reluctantly, cannot escape advor- sely reviewing the official action. Indeed, one paragraph in the Court's decision would almost represent the general attitude of the Board of Trade for many years, and for this reason it may be quoted in full. The whole caso for the Board of Trade is built upon suppositions which, from a practical engineering point of view, are most fanciful. They are suppositions upon which no constructed piece of machinery was over made, and however tested, could be said to be sufficient. Any strungth of test, for instance, of a boiler, is futile if, in considering its officioncy, it is to be sup posed that it has been left empty with a tiro, under it. Nor is the test of steering- gear of any value, if it is to be assumed that the vessel is running without the inan at the wheel.'

The explanation of this animated sphinx face of Jupiter is evidently to be found in the constitution of the huge planet In- stead of seeing something solid and definite, like the mountains of the moon or the streaked and spotted surface of Mars, wo behold only a vast cloud sphero, whose belts and zones are supposed to represent vapors, spun into parallels of latitude by the rapid rotatory motion of the globe be- neath.
It is this hint of a hidden world beneath the clouds of Jupiter that attracts the im- agination. What kind of a planet can it ́ 1607be which, exceeding this earth more than a thousand times in magnitude, yet whirls upon its axis so swiftly that its giant body makes a complete turn in less than 10 hours by our clocks?

His eagerness and his disappointment are like those of a spectator who, from a com- manding height, looks over a battlefield buried in smoke, where gleams of fire, driving vapors and glimpses of dim moving shadows fascinate his oyen and torment his imagination, but yield no logical deduction to his reason,~ --
Yet there is at least one poup-hole. In the southern hemisphere of Jupiter, in the -1616 midst of vast belts of dark, of light, and of tinted clouds, appears an oblong shape, red as a blown ember at times, thon fading to an ashy hue, or disappearing. No name has been found for it, but the Great Red Spot. It is even more enigmatical than the canals of Mars, because a rational explanation of them, based on human con-

They were the last of the, irreconcilables, and they re- solutely refused to barter their Bermudan luxury in return for an oath of allegiance. They were not home sick, but exceedingly contented with the fate that made them ex. iles do fuse Various modes of conciliation were essayed by the British Government. All wore fruitless. At last the Boer General Pretorius was sent from South Africa to Bermuds to show the seven the error of their ways. The officers of the garrison asked him to lunch, but Pretorius was anxious to get right away to his fellow-coun. rrymen. He came back soon afterwards, rather in a hurry. The lotus-eaters had stoned the prophet, Then the British Government grew angry with the Boers, and turned them out of their pension quar ters. They camped out in the chief street of Hamilton-still happy. They did their cooking, their eating, and their washing in the open rest. The police swooped down, threatened to arrast them as vagrants, and to make am work This was too much for them. They expitulated at once, and asked for the nearest plico where they could take heath of allegiance.

MOTHER
SEIGEL'S SYRUP
AIDS DIGESTION-CURES INDIGESTION.
Relish for food and power to digest it are essential to sound health, for only by the digestion and assimilation of food can lost or worn-out bodily tissue be replaced and life sustained. When digestion fails, as in dyspepsia or indigestion, both body and brain are starved, the patient becomes languid and weak, incapable of active, vigorous effort, or clear sustained thought. Headaches, loss of appetite, pains after eating, fulness at the chest, palpitation, anaemia and sleeplessness are-but a few of the many disorders which have their origin in imperfect digestion and nutrition. Thirty drops of Mother Seigel's Syrup, taken daily after meals, makes food nourish you. It gives tone and vitality to the stomach, liver and intestines, thus ensuring the thorough digestion and assimilation of food.
HAS CURED THOUSANDS.
"For three years I suffered greatly from biliousness and indigestion." When I sat down to table I could eat hardly anything. Attacks of vomiting made me quite weak, and I was surprised at the change it effected in my condition. On rising in, the morning I was seized with dizziness, and had on several occasions to go back to bed again. I tried various remedies, but remained in quite the same condition. While at Cape Town, during the war, I heard of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seigel's Syrup, and I decided to give it a trial. After the first bottle the dizziness and bilious feeling left me, and I continued using the Syrup until I felt completely cured.-E. Petersen, Lower End, Main Street, Johannesburg. March 29th, 1904.
