The sensitiveness of the plates to lights of different colour has been ad- "My condition at that period was ajusted by the use of colour screens, and bolpless and almost hopeless ong"

Pictures of letter written by a woman iu mundure life,various street scenes and landscapes were a wife and the mother of a family. She is Mrs. R. W. Jones, of 18, Cradock Street, Uitenhage, C.0., and is speaking of her condition some years ago, when he was a victim of much suffering from disorders of the stomach and bowels. Further on in the letter she says:-

pleasing land-

Little wonder that she regarded her case as helpless and almost hopelen" The very food which was necessary to sustain life and strength in her was "distasteful," and failed to nourish her.

On December 8th, 1911, Mrs. Jones wrote to us telling of the charge that had taken place, saying: My first experience of the restoring qualities of Mother Beigel's Byrup dates back a number of years ago, when I was induced, after inuch suffering and misery, caused by a complication of stomach and bowel troubles, to try whether your medicine would succeed. All the other medicines I had tried had been com- plete failures. Having once commenced taking the Syrup, and feeling somewhat relieved by it, I continued using it and gradually recovered my health and strength.

HUSBAND AND CHILDREN KEPT HEALTHY.

"My husband also is a firm believer in Mother Seigel's Syrup, often using it as a tonic, the effect being that it materially assists his digestion and keeps his bowels in regular working order."

It is the outstanding quality of Mother Seigel's Syrup that the herbal extracts of which it is composed, strengthen weak stopachas, stimulate the action of the liver and thereby promote easy, healthful action of the bowels. In this way the food gives Bourishment and the blood is lapt pure, all poisonous matter being carried out of the system. In closing her later Mrs. Толез наук: жо

For my children I use no other medi- cine, as your Syrup not only tong up their systems when out of sorts, but kerus them strong and healthy."

Don't do as Mrs. Jones did in the first place, however. She lost valuable time and suffered much because she tried many different medicines, hot one of which did her any real service. Indeed, she says, they were all complete failure," until she tried Mother Seigel's Syrup

Profit by Mrs. Jones' experience and try Mother Seigel's Syrup at once if you have any trouble with your digestion any disorders of stomach or bowels. It enres where all others fail.

THE NEW BAIL-ANNIHILATION.

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRES, SATURDAY, MAY 18TH, 1918.

The latest idea of hail prevention is based on the French theory that hail is an electrical phenomenon. If is assumed that atmospheric disturbances draw tiny ice-needles from the high cirrus clouds. down into clouds of vapour, with much electrification from friction, and that the attraction of positively electrified ice and negatively electrified vapour enlarges the ice particles proportionately to the in- tensity of action. The violence of fall of the hail thus formed varies with the dif- ference in electrification of the hail eloud and the earth. To neutralize the electrifica- tion, Comte de Beauchamp in 1890 devised his Niagara electrique," a capacious įconductor.consisting of a strip of soft electrolytic copper three inches wide and an eighth of an inch thick, with a top of six or eight gilt-pointed copper leaves and a bottom diffuser of many silvered-copper branches surik ia water; and this was first applied to a church tower 2000 feet high near Poitiers. A similar conductor, with a top comb of copper points, bas been placed by Gen. Negrier on a steel mast 130 feet high. Two other church-towers har- ing been equipped by M. de Beauchamp. four bail-preventing posts-six miles apart-have been in place since 1908; and it is estimated that these protect, an area of about three miles in the wind's direc- tion and on either side, and half a mile against the wind. Severe hailstorms seem to turn to rain near these posts. A new scheme proposes defending all France by 12 lines of these hail-arresters; which would, the promoters insist, abate much of the annual logs by hail and lightning of 120 lives and 835,000,000 to $100,000,000 of crops.

They advance so rapidly that most plants are destroyed, and the sur- vivors, very curiously, are swamp plants. These, unlike dry-region plants, have great capacity of elongating and produc- ing new roots:
