Prolific Writers.

Since the death of Nai Gould. author of over two hundred sport- ing yarns, Miss Florence Warden, who is just publishing her 150th novel, must have a good claim to bu considered our most prolife author, with the possible excep. tion of Miss Evelyn Everett Green who in any case must run, her very close (says the "Morning: Post.) Writers for the young seem to hold the record in fertility of production.. Henry, George Manville Fean, and R. M. Ballan- Įtyne each passed his first literary century Emnia Marshall publish ed 100 stories; and hoch W. H. Kingston and 1. T. Meade died with well over, two hundred

# volumes to their credit. Another Vanbrugh.

When Prudence Vanbrugh came on to the London Coliseum stage the other day there was a general murmur of "How like her Aunt Irene!" She grows more like her as she talks, for she has a voice which might be mistaken for Irene Vanbrughi's and has many similar tricks of expression. She has, too. her aunt's fascinating dimples and her funny little gurgle of half-sup- pressed laughter. In other ways she resembles her mother, Violet Vanbrugh, and she may have her. mother's cmotional power. "The Chap Upstairs," in which she now appears, is a very slight skëteh which requires nothing much in the way of, acting, and which owes a good deal to the Vanbrugh charm, (says a Daily Chronicle writer.) Nobody will be more pleased at her success than her mother, who is devoted to her. To Violet Van- brugh during the past few years one of the great joys of acting in' London has been, that it let her be with her daughter. As her mother. has been so often on tour, Prudence spent much of her g:rlhood with her aunt, Irene Vanbrugh. Violets.

Above all, violets seem to be the symbol of spring. The hepaticas and bloodroot come earlier. The anemiónes, nodding, nodding in the' chill north wind, anticipate them by a few days Then the violets spread their purple carpet over everything. It is gurios that the floral year comes in and goes out with that exquisite azure. The violets reflect the sky under the broad splendour of April and May. The asters and the fringed · gen- tians cover the fields with the same pallid, delicate grace in the fading weeks of September and October. And always the violets have been special favourites of the poets, the Youths' Companion " reminds us. Homer and Theo- critus loved them in the Greece of | long ago. Pale violets peep from the verses of Virgil. Shakespeare and Milton touched them lightly and delicately, as they should be touched, for theirs is not the flar- ling glory of the lily or the rose," Keats in one line used violets to show what the infinite imagina- tive suggestion of the poet can do and what the concrete repre- sentation of the painter cannot : "Fast-fading violets covered up in leaves." Only poetry can ren- der the subtle, melancholy, far- reaching grace conveyed, in that little epithet, "fast-fading." After Eight Years Work.

One of the most difficult ei gineering feats Di Japanese railway construction has just been brought to a successful conclusion in the opening of the Orito tummel on the Aomori-Shimonoseki direet fine, the second great trinik railway of Japan. This tunnel is a mile long (and has token eight years of arduous work to bore due to many new engineering problems that, constantly bad to be solved. Together with the completion of the section between Murakamui? and Atsumi, this tunnel will shorten the distance between Aomori and Osaka by 150 miles. It is expected that the entire line will be open, for traffic before 'the. end of July and it will constitute not only one of the most useful from a commercial standpoint, buit is considered absolutely indiepensa- ble from a military one. It has cost nearly Y.100,000,000, but) gives a mora dirett.route from the northern to the southern end of Hondo and forming s new col- necting link between many important ports and cities of the northern and western districts of the island, serving especially the districts along the shore line. The. tunnel has not been the only dif ficult bit of engineering on this line, since tho Murakami-Atsumi section has called into play all the ingenuity of the construction forces of the northern district. In less than two months the construction forces will turn over the finished section to the operating officials many years of arduous work:

Had to fight it

Tooth troubles were constantly increasing, mostly due to film. So dental science saw that this film must be fought.

After long research, two ways were found. One acts to curdle film, one to remove it, and with- out any harmful scouring.

Able authorities proved these methods effective. Then a new-

Other new factors

Research also proved that other effects were essential. So Pepso- dent multiplies the alkalinity of the saliva. That is there to neu- tralize mouth acids, the cause of tooth decay.

It multiplies the starch digestant in the saliva. That is there to di- gest starch deposits which may' otherwise ferment and-form acids.

Those are Nature's great tooth- protecting agents in the mouth. Every use of Pepsodent multiplies their power,
