Leprosy has been investigated by Jonathan By PUBLIC AUCTION FOR ACCOUNT OF THE Hutchinson, the great English pathologist, in all parts of the globe where it prevails. He nis nothing to justify the idea of contagion as attendants in leper hospitals do not contract the disease, nothing like an epidemic is ever known. and even transmission from husband to wife is rare He attributes the disease to decayed or badly oured tish—not to any excessive use of fich in good condition.

Rivers seem to have played a considerable part in limiting the distribution of animals. A notable justoure of any noted by W. L. Distant, a British zoologist, is that of the vis- cachu, a rubbit-like rodent of South America which is abundant south of the Uruguay, but is unknown to the north, where the country seems quite as well adapted to its habits.

Hongkong, quarla rol is placed in a small tube, to the lower end of which is attached on electroscope of twa long strips of silver. The activity of the

radiun canses on electric current aims beta

rage to be transmitted to the silver strips, which expand until they touch the sides of the vassel, when earthed conducting wires instantly dis charge them and they fall together. This is repeated every two minutes, marking time in heats of that duration, and theoretically the

action will continue until exhaustion of the radium-in this case computed to be 39.000 years in the future.

A new theory is that the age of fishes of the cod family can be determined from the periodic growths of scales. Such growths aro known to be annual in the carp, and it | is therefore probable that the sume is true for safl-water fishes. The view is confirmed by

various beds by Mr. J. S. Thomson, a British Biologist. Annual rings seem to be traceable, giving the ages, and it is proposed to test the truth of the theory by returning labelled fishes to the sea for futuro observation after first recording the present

Food will surely create Poison,

If Digestion is Faulty.

Well-digested food is the source of strength. Every act, every thought, every movement of muscle or mind uses up some of the substarice of our bodies. Food repairs this loss, but only when it is digested.

Undigested fuad ferments is the stomach, poisons the blood, starves the bady and lowers vitality.

To ir strong and firalthy, assist your stomach, liver and kidneys to do their work perfectly by taking Mother Seigela Syrup, which contains food- digesting fennents and gentle tonics for the stomach, and has cured more dyspeptics than any other medicine in the world.

MOTHER

SEIGEL'S

SYRUP

For nine years I suffered from severe pains in the vicinity of the kidneys, lost my appetite completely, and could only take milk and beef tea; anything more substantial would not remain in the stomach. I became so it that was forced to take to my bed. A doctor treated me for almost two months, but without success. On arriving at Cape Town at the outbreak of hostilities, a Malay friend told me of the wonderful qualities of Mother Seiger's Syrup. One bottle relieved me, and now, I am never without a bottle in my house. X. Norodien, Malay Location, Johannesburg, March 27th, 1904.
