Both are subject to the changes worked by the in- venfor, and must adapt themselves to thom, however much they may like the Tocess. There is, however, this difference between them, that the master can some-- times see an advantage by embracing a novelty in advance of his competitors, while the man has no such chance. His possible gain is remote, while his risk ja voly, real.

THE INVENTOR AS A BENEFACTOR,
Referring to the presidential address of

of the inventor as the grist bonefactor of
the human race. Mr Siemens did not specifically mention the inventor, because that would have suggested the kind of man who produces something which satisfies the legal definition of an invention, but much can be done towards the cheapening of production that cannot
grant of
be made the basis of a monopoly from the Crown. New processes of manufacture, new methods of manage. ment, new financial arrangements, new ideas in design, are all potent factors in reducing the cost of articles of necessity or luxury, and those who produce them are essentially inventors. Even new laws and systems of
that overnment, and njore particu
larly the means for enforcing such laws, when they tand to the consolidation and stability of society, are the work of men of creative minds, who increase the produc tivity of the world. In the first instance, the inventor is a utilitarian. He facilitates the manufacture of some material object-- or dress, or tools, or it may be food weapons and there are many persons who never see beyond the immediate result of his labours, and therefore clase him among the hewers of wood and drawers of water, far below the artist, the man of letters, and the statesinan. But, as Mr Siemene pointed out, the work of the inventor does not end with the machine or the process he devices. What he really does is to create time to lengthen the day far beyond the twenty-four hours known to primitive man. Our early ancestors needed every moment. of daylight in which to gather together the means to supply the demands of nature in the way of food, clothing, and shelter, and the night barely suficed to recuperate their bodies after being-be it called soul, spirit, or mind-had little opportunity for development or expansion. It was not until they obtained leisure that they could attain intellectual growth, and leisure was the gift of the inventor. The tools and weapons he produced lowered the cost of production, by enabling a man to do ią a day what previously had occupied a week. If mankind had been content with necessaries, instead of having a con stant hankering after luxuries, and had devoted all its leisuro to the cultiva tion of the arts and sciences, we should have been on a very different plane now. Unfortunately, it has largely prostituted the enlargement of time furnished it by the inventor to the gratification of its animal appetites. Nevertheless, labour is now so efficient that large numbers of men can devote themselves to letters, to art, to music, to painting, to pure science, and to other unproductive pursuits, knowing that out of the total produced by those that follow material occupations there will be -plenty for their subsistence. Dufortunate- 1y, such men do not always understand that they are the direct product of the inventor, and even go so far as to affect to despise him. It is well that sometimes the leader of those who practice the 'mechanic art.' should reiterate that the truest foundation of civilisation lies in lessening the cost of production.

STEAMER DEPARTURES.
The following table is a chronologically arranged list of mail steamer sailings to Europe, America, Canada, and Australia, Coast ports, Manila, and Japan are not given, for steamers are constantly sailing for those ports. All the American steamers call at Japan, and the majority of the Australian boats call at Manila, and, in addition to those vessels, special steamers run there. The departure of every steamer is subject to alteration. The P. & 0. mails usually reach London in about 28 days, and the French and German in about 28 or 30 days.

It is not only painful and disgusting to oneself, but it disgusts even one's ́dcoreat friends. Why submit to such a trouble when you can avoid it by the use of Charles- Forde's Bile Beans! You would be ashamed of Boiled linen or an unclean bød-- room, but a dirty skin is far worse, as it is a public advertisement of poisonous matter in the blood and in your whole system, The present Boason is the best time to Scour out this poison, and Bile Boans will cleanse your blood and clear your skin as no other medicine can do..
Speaking fecently to a reporter of the London bun." Miss Frances Emily Nash, of 28, Wood Street, Chiswick, near Lop don, said:About twelve months ago I found that I had an unpleasant eruption of pimples which broke out on my face, and gradually spread out all over the body. This was succeeded by severe headache and sharp shooting pains. My eyes became dull and watery, and a mist of blackness obscured my sight. This was often follow- ed by a dizziness, which made me heavy and quite exhausted afterwards. pimples and rash terribly disfigured my face, and nothing seemed able to remova them. I took blood purifiers with no beneficial results. I suffered like this for nearly a year, and my mother at last re- marked, As nothing does you any good, you had better try Bile Beans. We sent for a box, and I began to take them. I took two each night at bedtime, and after & time the pimples began to disappear from my face. Before I had taken the Beans long the whole of the rash had disappeared. The I also began to feel better generally headache ceased and has never returned, nor have I once suffered again from the swimming in the head, nor the dimness of sight. In a fow weeks the whole of the symptoms from which I had suffered for over a year were gone. My skin became perfectly clear, and all irregularities in the bowels have disappeared. I am quite well now, and have not been so healthy or so free from nervousness for a long time. I am glad to let people know that. Chan, Forde's Bile Beans and nothing else cured

AXATINE is the mildest aperient known. It is pleasant in taste, not drastic but certain in sction and even in large doses is harmless. Laxatine being non-irrit able will be found a great boon, to ladies especially, and in cases where the kidneys are irritable or diseased. Laxatine is strongly recommended by the Continental Authorities and is being largely used in the London hospitals. Messrs A. S. WATSON & Co.

approach of the millenium, or that wars are on the point of becoming impossible, but, between civilised nations, it should soon become difficult to stir up people to the fighting point as they realise what a modern war, with twentieth century possibilities of killing, really means. The range and precision of weapons has 50 increased that imagination will for the future play a large part in hostilities, Already the Russian Government is offering substantial rewards for evidence of the existence of the torpedo boats that Rodzhdestvensky saw among the Dogger Bank trawlers, and com- manders will be increasingly liable to see things, as the possibilities of invisible and distant obstacles increase. We know that there were no Japanese boats among our fleet, but the progress of invention, and the uncanny efficiency of Dai Nippon acting on the overstrung the Russian, go far to excuse nerves their delusion, and we hope that, from the nervous terror nations are showing we may draw an advantage in an in- creasing reluctance to put international questions to the arbitrament of the Sword.
