Nerve Strain and Exhaustion--
Mr. Henry Farman's marvellous conquest of the air is another of those brilliant triumphs of nerve force and endurance which are made possible by the vitalising potency of Phosferine.
The master minds, the leaders of men, have ever been the foremost to esteem the energising efficacy of Phosferine, but the very importance and difficulty of Mr. Farman's historic achievement is the strongest possible proof of the supreme restorative qualities possessed by the greatest of all tonics. Mr. Farman expresses the warmest appreciation for the permanent staying power and resistance which Phosferine imparted to bis nerve system, enabling him to withstand the severe strain" of the un- expected risks and hazards of aerial flight.
Mr. Farman puta it on record that the very superabundance of energy imparted by Phosferine makes for exceptional mental and physical alertness, and in his own case, prevents the ill health and effents of exposure, which would so greatly increase the risks of his experiments.
Stopped and entirely prevented.
Mr. Henry Farmau, the marvellous "Flying Man," 22, Rue Avenue de la Grande Armee, Paris, writes :-"I am pleased to endorse the merits of Phosferine as a nerve tonic of the highest quality. As an aeroplanist my nerve system is continually subjected to the severe strain of unexpected risks and hazards, but I have found Phosferine to be a splendid bulwark against all kinds of exhaustion, Your preparation imparts and stimulates a mental alertness and physical energy which has contributed immensely to the success of my arial flights. Even the most careful calculations are apt to be upset by the effects of exposure, but in my case Phosferine has completely fortified me against all such evils. At the present time I am in excellent health and spirits, both. sleeping and eating well, and this desirable condition is certainly due to Phosferine. February 17, 1909

DESERTION OF SEAMEN FROM BRITISH SHIPS.

In 1898, consequent upon a question asked in the House of Commons, reports were obtained from the Consular and Colonial officers at certain foreign and colonial ports in regard to the number and causes of desertions of seaman from British ships at their respective ports and also as to the steps which in their opinion should The reports wors be taken to remedy the evil. printed and published in 1899 as "Reports from certain Foreign and Colonial Ports respecting the Desertion of Seamen from British Ships [C9265] In June, 1908, the Bishop of Bangor asked in the House of Lords that the officers who had reported on the matter in 1898 should be requested to give statistics showing the number of desertions at their ports from British ships for the four years endod June 1st, 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, and to report whether the operation of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1906, had, in their opinion, been successsal in removing the cause and in reducing the number of desertions. This proposal was agreed to, and the reports and statistics which have been received from the Consular and Colonial Officers through the Foreign and Colonial Ofoes form the present

BATTLESHIP GUN FIRE.
In the House of Commons recently Mr. Ashley asked the First Lord of the Admiralty whether he was aware that the weight if meta thrown in one discharge of the guns of the Japanese battleship of the anten class was 11,710lb., and from the guns of the British St. Vincent class 9 000lb,; and whether he was in a position to assure the House that the British ships of this year's programas would not be inferior in gun fire to these Japanese vessels. assured that the Britial battleships of the St. Vincent class and of this year's programme will not be inferior in gun power to the Japanese vessels,
Mr. McKenna-The hon. member may rest
Mr. Ashley Does the right hon. gentleman deny that the St. Vincent class is inferior in, gun fire to the Satsu class in the Japane navy?
Mr. McKeana-No, Sir. What I am deny. is the standard of measurement adopted by the hon. member. The gun power of a ship would be measured not by the weight of metal it would throw in a broadside, but by the num ber of probable hita."
Viscount Helmsley-Is there any reason to
suppose that the Japanese are less likely to hit the target?
Mr. McKenna-There is much less reason to suppose that they would be able to hit with all their large and small guns at the same time. They would not fire them all at the same time.

And in the recesses of her forecastle, lit by a dim slush lamp, an odd mariner may be discovered who can discourse in obsolescent phraseology of her "crdinance apparel, munition, and furniture," and grumble at an age which has shifted the balance of power to a handful of greasy mechanics.
