APOLLO

THE

IDEAL ATHLETE

SCIATICA, NEURALGIA, PROSTRATION AND DEPRESSION.

"Apollo" tells how to avoid wasted effort. "APOLLO," the Ident Athlete, the embodiment of physical grace and sym. metrical muscular development, pays a glowing tribute to the wonderful curative and invigorating properties of Phosferine. Even "Apollo's" superb physique was not proof against attacks of Sciatica and Neuralgia, and be declares that a course of Phosterine quite cured these disorders and completely dispelled the weariness and exhaustion consequent upon over-training,

All the brilliant athletes in the kingdom have recognized the merits of Phosferine of expressed their appreciation in much the same words as ! Apollo," Without exception, from Royalty downwards, every class of brain and manual worker has placed on record with us the marvellous benefits they have derived from sfering. As editor of a health magazine, "Apollo" further relates that he sound the tonic invaluable for relieving brain-fag.

·APOLLO' writes: When I left South America, some six years ago. I had a bad attack of Sciation, which lets me prostrated and totally unft. An agent of yours in Southport recom inende: Uhofer me, and a few botiles soon pui me right again, since then i have used it for Neuralgia, and found it a real good thing. Over-training and sustained exertion tries one con- siderably, and for the wearine is so induced. Ihosforse is the only remely that quickly pulls me Four, especially have I found it ve relief in the tre feeling, caused by depressing or hot weather. A good deal of brain work falls to my share in my journalistic work, and in this, Phosfering as for some verus been a great friend to ine, and whenever I can, I always give it a good wond, for it is a remedy that has never failed m. -June 6, 1906.

THE P. AND O, MAIL CÒNTRACT. Mr. J. E. Patterson, evidently well-informed wrote to the 'all Mall Gazette as follows:-

To except absolute accurney in the average newspaper report on marcantile marine affaire, especially in so toohuis! a sabjost ne steamship spoed, would be equivalent to expecting to fetch a given port with a compass that, unknown to the mariner, was hopelessly wrong in deviation. Probably that is why some contemporarios hare recently published half-trus or wors statements anent the Peninsular and Oriental Company's new contract to carry mails to Tadis, thing, and Australia. This is a part of retroversoas postage that has been principally in the company's hands during the past sixty years or more. Thus i ng firm of shipowners know best how to crry ocean-borne mails to this oast, it should be the P. and O.

of reverberation.

This Company has declared an compared the savings with what would be made interim dividend of $2 per share payable on the on the Atlantic if the proposed "all red route"let iustant. Now Amoy Books are proourable should become a foot. Complaints have been at S11, Shanghai Docks have improved to Tis rande that the P. and O. are not forest by the 76 with bugars, and Hongkong Wharves to terms of the mbaidy to run twenty knot boats, Tie. 227. instead of their sixteen to seventeen-kuctters. It has also been put forward that the Far Eastern and southern routes are better suited for increased speed than the Atlantic is, whare the increase during the past decade has been about six kuole as hour. To answer these matters from the bottom up wards: It is the short passage that has the advantage ever the looger one in scope for acceleration, simply because every not per hour put on over fifteen or sixteen mean proper tionately, a much larger increase in the cost of propulsion, cisney of engines and resistanos Whilst the Suez Canal re. main in its present condition and continues to bee route to the Far Fast, it is next to impossible to an even eighteen-kon boats, What is more, the grest increase in speed across the Western Ocean has been only it northern part. No steamer running through the tropics bus put on more than half that acceleration in the same number of YRSTS. So for from a decrease of from twenty-four to thirty-six heurs being a small matter on such a long run; with out holding any brief for the P. and O., it means | a big increase both in the capital coat of vessels and in running them. It must also be remem. bored that all acceleration in speed mPADE diufaished earning powers, owing to the finer lince needed in the craft, and to the graster iment of coal that has to be carried to gain that If speed and frequenoy of service are required, whether for mail carrying or any other purpose aflost, the increase in excess of what ordinary trade conditions warrant must be paid for by subsidy of some sort. And it is quite obvious that no shipowner will build vessels for anch a

a service, unless he first obtains a certain fxity of tenure. Be cannot be expected to run the risk of having such costly experiments thrown on his bands at the end of a short con (ract, with no robab'e employment available

for them. For this reason seven years is a short term for a mail contract, with such an accelera tion of speed on a long passage. It is so short that any company as to that business would not be content without a mach longer term. Bender, as to the comparison of speed on the Atlantie and on the eastern routes, in additi, a to the physical, the commerial conditions are entirety different,

inorengo.

If the public wanis artificially fast services, aver and above what the usual trade considera tions regaire, then the nation must be pre- pared to pay the marginal account. To shipowner does not like such artificiality in his trade, because it means roning his business on an artificial basis. It means the difference between garden and hot house growing, or that which exist between Fra Trade and Protection. As an illustration of what high speed meane. Sir William Lyne told the recent Colonial Conference, apropos of the "all naš routa' (which, by the by, is the only concrete autcome of the Conference), that an increase of thres knota on Afteen per hour meant actually doabling the coal consumption. Exporta ia marine engineering and shipbuilding sy

bat! this statement is perfectly accurate, ans that it means a comparatively great cost in the craft themselves; the governing rule being but the coal consumption increases at the same rate As the cabe of the speed.

With reference more directly to the "all red route," it could not alte raste prope ly with the P. and O. service by the Suez Canal. The twa services would be mutually destructive. The distance by the former route is 13,767 milee. taking Melbourne as the port of destination, and 10,84 miles by the latier ronte, Thai between the two there is a difereno, of 2943 miles in favour of the Suos route, or of 27,5 per cent, and no trsushipment of either passen- gera of cargo. An average mail speed of sixteen kuota to Australia, which some writers here treated so contemptuously, in favour of an "all red route," represents a speed that has nev yet been maintained by a mercantile oraft in tropic I waters except across the Indian Oceati, aud only

a favouring monsoon breezɔ hop with more or less at her heels. It must be boras in mind that to keep up anch a rate of speed as in being asked for it would be necessary, an partaju sections of the passage, considerably to exceed that speed; and that a skip giving. Buch results would require, when bailt, to be capable of a speed of at least three knots faster than the average of her rath ཝཱམ་ however,

between the ghout the time aud Melbourne will be 28 days 19 hours; while to attain an equally quick transit on the all red routs" a spoed of twenty knots would be required on the Atlantic and eightono knots on the Pacific. This would involves anheidy of probably double that which is required for the Suez route; end aven those Australian Premiers who at the Conference, talked so well for the proposed way vis Coanda, could not promise more than Afteen-knot service from Vancouver to Melbourne.
