IN DISEASE-CANADA'S UNKNOWN REGION---- COLOURS OF SREDE.

Cotton goods and vegetable fibres generally are transformed into a parchment-like material by a newly patented Austrian process. The fabric is treated with sodium lye not exceeding 25 per cent, in strength, and is then hung up Su an atmosphere of carbon sulphide vapour for three days. A yellowish-brown translucent material results. This is rinsed, dried, loosened from the plates, and further dried at 100 deg C., after which it may be rendered pliable again by immersion for several hours in 5 per cent. nostic acid. The Gulshod product becomes moldable at 100 deg. C., so that pat teras may be pressed upon it by plates or rollers. It may be bleached or dyed, and serves admirably in the place of celluloid, parchment, gatta percin or caoutchouc.

The influence of darkness on flovers has been a subject of experiment by M. L. Beulaygus The Bowers opened later than in sunlight, and the colour was generally less intense, the loss of solour being slight in some species but almost complete in others." The flowers are usually smaller in size and weight. The pedicels, however, sometimes incrence in darkness, and in some rare cases the gain of the palaucles counterbalances the loss in the rest of the plant.

An interesting meteorologienl station is that of Mammoth Tank, on the line of the Southern Pasife, Railway, in San Diego Coauty. Cal. The mean annual rainfall for 23 years has been 1.81 inches; maximum temperature, 130 dog., on August 17th, 1878; hottest month, July, with a mean of 985 deg.

I was for days unconscions, hut gradually recovered sufficiently to be invalided home."

Yot the suffering of Private Smith was not over. "I went aboard the Hospital Ship Nineveh in June," he says, and shortly afterwards sailed for home. During my short stay in South Africa, I lost over Zulbe, in weight. Nothing that I took relieved the constant vomi ing, or increased my strength."

After," he says, "I had been home a low. days, my brother, who is an enginedeiver on the Midland Railway-not of as armoured train-advised me to try Mother Seigel's Syrup. I get a bottle. I found it was doing me good. The vomiting ceased, and I was able to enjoy all kinds of food, My appetite is now enormous.

"Altogether I have taken four bottles of Mother Beigel's Syrup, and gladly give you permission to use and publish my statement. This Syrup is a fine tonic and a great medicine for the stomach. I can especially recommend it to auldiers returning from South Afriad in foobie haalth.”
