Mother Seigel's Syrup will carry greater weight than anything we could say ourselves. Mr. F. Buckingham, of 19, Queen Street, Cape Town, tried Mother Seigel's Syrup for himsell, some time ago, and since then he has always retained it as his family medi- cine, because it has never faifed him.

Writing us on August 17, 1911, Mr. Buckingham says "My work is conduct- ed entirely out of doors, in all sorts and Conditions of weathers. This, coupled with a little thoughtless neglect, brought on

"This continued state of bad health made me very depressed and irritable, and my condition, in spite of the many different so- called remedies, was gelling rapidly worse. “No real cure seemed possible, until, im pressed by the favourable

In other experiments, whistling, the peni of a large bell and various other rounds in cir aroused no response from goldfish, Fishes under the stimulation of strychnine, however, were alarmed by violent sounds, like a pistol shot, but fishes lacking the labyrinths of both cars were affected in exactly the same way. CLEARANCE The ears may be not entirely lacking in sensation, though It must be something like the perception by the skin. About 80 species of fishes produce sounds, perhaps to attract the opposite sex, and, while these species have not been studied, it is thought that they may hear by vibrations giving a sensa- tion akin to touch, or that possibly the ears in such fishes may have some slight develop.

MAKING THE HEN MARE HER EGGS.

An egg-marking attachment for the hen is the mechanical oddity covered by a Buffalo man's recent patent. The apparatus is secured in place by rings passing through cartilaginous parts of the hen, and suitable springs bring the marker into position to Stamp the eggs as it is laid. Each individual hen being assigned her own special mark, this device ensures her full credit for her product.

Lobster rarebit is the new food product of a Prince Edward Island packer and consists of six parts of meaty layer, three of liver, and one of roe of the labsters, the ingredients being chopped, mixed, spiced, and canned in the usual way, with steam-cooking for about three hours. Having tested this rarebit in the treatment of certain ailments local physicians claim that the food is palatable, casily digested and assimilated, and highly nourishing. The nourishment is attributed to the roe and to the meat, while digestion is alded by the bile of the liver-cells, and the new product has seemed especially helpful in dyspepsia with excessive acidity of the stomach.

From the ring of light seen around the dark disc of Venus when near the sun, it has been inferred that the planet has an atmosphere denser than that of the earth up to a height of 55 miles or more. This esti mate has been thought to be too high, and the recent passage of Venus across a quite. bright star, Eta Geminorum, was seized upon as an opportunity to test the matter. As the
