A City Constable

Nervous Depression,

Lassitude, Rheumatism

From all lands, deputations come to study the method which has made the London Constable superior to all others. "The method by which I make myself equal to my work," says Constable Lawrence," consists of taking Phosterine at intervals, as in this way I keep myself alert mentally and physically." Since taking Phosferine, Constable Lawrence can remaia on "point" duty in all weathers, controlling the amazing volume of City traffic, without experiencing the terrible nerve strain and weariness which formerly distressed him. Even amongst men who excel, Constable Lawrence is known as an exceedingly capable officer, equal to any emergency, and he declares that Phosferine alone enables him to maintain himself in this fine condition.

Quite removed.

Constable Lawrence, 398, High Road, Tottenham, writes:-" Possibly there is not an occupation more nerve trying than that of a "point-duty" policeman, especially when the roads are slippery and the drivers have a difficulty in balding up their horses. Add to this, the skidding of motor omnibus and the dodging of taxi-cabs, &c., it will be seen that my duty is not a pleasant one. I am sure that no one would care to change places with us for more than a few minules, for it would at cnce be fel that the dangers are too numerous 10 cope with. Policemen look big, strong men, but are just as likely to get run down in health as other men, and this is what happened to me sometime ago, when I suffered from headaches, nerve-depression, lassitude and rheumatic pains. After trying many rentedies, I was recommended Phosferine, and can say that it is a wonderful renewer of health, and seems to put fresh life into one from the first dose. Iain now quite myself again, and very thankful that -- Phosferine was brought to my notice."--March 5, 1910.

Forest dwelling pygmies are the most mysteri ous of the earth's people. Loug regarded as a myth of Herodotus und other ancient writers, their oristence in the equatorial regions of Africa was proven by Starley, and has been confirmed by later explorers. Other pygmies, it is now knows, live on the wood-clad hills of the interior of New Guinea. Late explorations of the British Ornithologists' Union have shown that this is a region of dismal, dark and dripp- ing jungle, infested with noxious insects and leeches, and the home of a strange.. sby race Averaging 4 feet 6 inches to 4 feet 8 inches in on frail and jungle product, Inforpat, Aring. the wallaby, pig and cassowary, and fishing in the mountain streams. With no regular villages, their dwellings are tie radest kind of Jean- to huts, made of branches and fan palms. From count natires they had obtained a swall wadge-shaped piece of iron, an inch by two inckos in size, and this was insorted into a wooden bandle to form their only metal tool, an are that had effected remarkable results. With it they accomplished the almost incredible work of making a whole 20 acre clearing, although the jungle was depse, with many trees 12 to 15 feet in cironmference.

ASPHALT AS SOIL.

Asphalt paving or lining proves to be no ob struction to vegetation. In the courtyard of the Bank of Italy at Rome is a garden of shruba, and beneath the court is a basement covered by arches, over which is n layer of asphalt seven. eights of an inch thick to prevent percolation of moisture into the space where documents aro stored. Removal of earth above the masonry has shown that several roots of Chamaerops a kind of dwarf pulm- bad penetrated right through the asphalt, boring clean holes us quarter of au inch in diameter. Unable to pierco the masonry, the roots had forced a way between it and the asphalt, and, some of the roots having died, holes were loft for the free passage of water,

The special signals would be sent from stations to the westward. The advent of the squall is generally marked by a gentle south-west wind, veering with startling at denneas and violence to the north-wost, masses of clouds rising up eud- danly from the west. frequently with thunder, and these phenomena neo so distinct and simultaneous that the passage of the squall is easily and definitely observed.. Warnings telegraphed from stations west of Paris hare announced squalls that subsequently presed over the city at the predicted time. At the great Aeronautical Congress at Frankfort in- 1909, M.
