MONEY THAT REALLY TALKA.

By phonographic impressions on the The reason is obvious, for, to quote the edges of the paper, giving a finely sor old Bible words, "the blood is the life," | rated contour, banknotes and other docu- and overy part of the body has to rely on ments of stated value are to be protected the vital stream for the cloments of its nutrition and growth. When, therefore, against fraud, according to the method the blood is deficient in the elements which of A. E. Bawtree, English inventor. The build up the body, and in the number of record of any desired words is obtained ite red corpuscles, as it always is after an by moving a photographic plate under| attack of Malaria, the consequences are bonud to be serious. Consideration of a spot of light rossected from a mirror- this fact explains readily why it is that diaphragm at the end of a recording- children who have Malaria are so often horn, and this record can be transferred stunted in growth, and why adults look to the document paper by photo-engraving nervous symptoms as well as from diseases and electrotyping processes, giving a pair of particular organk
of shearing edges of the required contour.. The recorded words are made audiblo as the effect of an air blast striking the ser- rated edges. The apparatus consists of a' pair of slightly sopurated parallel plates, one with a fin slit opposite a round hole in the other, and as the paper is passed between the plates, the air forced through the slit strikes the diaphragm of a reproducing-horn over the round bole. For a direct record the document paper in contact with the stylus of a recorder diaphragm may be drawn along by rotating cylinders. For such a record only a very simple reproducing device is needed and it may consist of a plate through which projects tlie stylus of a reproducing-horn.
Before these conditions can be cured, it is obvious that the blood must be restored to perfect henith. Quinine, which destroys the malaria parasite, cannot do -thie, and the crude forma af iron have proved to be equally useless, for doctors now know that iron can only properly be made use of by the system when it is in what they call the organic form and in chemical combination." Besides this, that distinguished physician, Sir William Gowers, and other notable eier iste, have proved that phosphorus plays a great part in the production of healthy blood. It, too, must be adminstered in the Barge organic "form as, iron, for most of the ordinary phosphorus prepara- tions derange the digestion and so make the patient's later state worse than the first, Happily, a method has been dis covered by which phosphorus can be given in the form in which it can be most easily made use of by the weakened and run-down body. This is by Sanatogen, which has, in a comparatively short time, achieved the greatest reputation of any nerve tonic food known to the world.
In addition to the organic form of phosphorus, Sunatogen contains the body building part of pure milk, and thus con- tains all the iron which is found in milk. It is, therefore, an ideal preparation for improving the blood. How rapidly and completely it does this has been shown in innumerable cases quoted in the medical papers. Here is ons from The Medical Press and Circular-A woman who was so anemic that har red blood cor- puscles numbered only 3,800,000 per cubic imillimetre with hemoglobin 48 per cent,, was placed on Sanatogen, and at the end of a fortnight her red blood cells had risen to 4,000,000 per cubic millimetro and the hemoglobin to 62 per cont.'

At the successful power-plant at Porta down, Ireland, the pent fuel is cut in the open air, and by open air drying the moisture is roduced to about 26 per cent. Io this state the peat is fed into the hopper of the gas producer. The gas generated passes through a coke scrubber, an extractor separating the tar, a saw- dust scrubber finishing the cleaning and cooling, and then to a gas-holder. average of 276 brake-horse-power is developed by the gas engines, the peat required weekly being 20 tons, at a net cust-after deducting the value of the bar-of about $21.

QUOTATION --Import Goods,
The rapid passing of formas onco abundant is bringing slow conviction that animal as well ne plant conservation is a crying need of this appallingly waste- ful age. The disappearanes of the great auk in 1844 gave warning; but this was followed by the tragedy of the buffalo, and now we seems to be in the midst of a war of extermination. Two splendid American birds are among the recent victims of man's recklessness, Of the Passenger or Wild Pigeon (Ectopictes migratorius) a single female, about 19 years old, belongs to the Zoological Society of Cincinnati, and is the only one dis covered in the late extended search.

REED FLIGHT IN PRACTICAL AVIATION. The new acroplane principle of Papin and Romilly called the gyropter-imit ates the seed-vessels of the sycamore of
plane tree instead of birds or insects. A great sail, somewhat inclined from the horizontal, rotates freely around the car, which is suspended from the lower end. If the motor stops working, the ear, it is claimed, will descend on an even keel, the automatic rotation of the sail, from air pressure and gravity, having the effect of a gyroscope. The same machine has an engine of novel design. Compressed air from suitable orifices strikes against the driving shaft, and this is rotated just ng water drives the whirling sprinklers now set on lawns.
GRITTY FOOD.
Excessive wear seen in teath of adult skeletons of the early Stone Age is cx- plained by Marcel Bandouin as due to sand or grit mixed with a food of roots and pottery ground grains. Even greater wear is shown by the modern earth-eaters of Siam. This confirms the theory, and suggests that the prehistoric people were not intentional carth-eaters,
ARROW POISON FROM BROO5.
The arrow poison used by the Indians of Colombia has been found by W. Caspar and A. Lourvy to be the secretion of the skin of a small frog. The arrows are eight inch palm spines, which are shot from a blow-gun about fourteen feet long and the hunter carries the frog along in a hollow bamboo, in order that be may have the poison in a fresh condi
