A Celebrated Violiniste

Nervous Fatigue, Languor

The power to excel, we confidence which ensures her brilliant successes, shys the talented violinist, Miss Sybil Keymer, is entirely due to her abundance of vigorous nerve force created by Phosferine. How greatly the cumerous distinctions and triumphant career of this accomplish d musiziau are promoted by the brain enerey and physical stamina developed by Phosferine, is evident front Miss Keymer's admission that the tonic "enabled me to do myself justice." This feary to excel, this ability to make Férfict use of her skill, depends upon the parvellous control and steadiness of the muscle nerves Phosferine as given her, and to which she owas the -entrancing tone and quality of her musical renditions. Naturally, this energising effect of Phosfering was accompanied by the disappearance of the headaches, listlessness, and fatigue, which were the bane of her pitblit appearances, and it is this happy outcome which impels Miss Keymer to testify to the exceptional advantages to be derived from Phosferine.

Promptly Remedied.

Miss Sybil Koymer, "Riversmere,” Albany Rd., Leighton Buzzard, Eng., writes: "I think I should inform you that I have recently derived very great benefit from the use of "Phosferine. In the course of my profession I have to travel a good deal in getting to my various concerts, and I find that since using Phosferine I am never troubled with the headaches and listlessness which follow a long railway journey, particularly during hot weather. This is of very great importance to me, as frequently only a very lule time elapses between reaching my destination and the com. mencement of a concert, and it is such a relief to feel fresh and ready for playing in public undisturbed by the fatigues of long travelling. It is because I feel that Phosfcrine enables me to do myself justice as a violinist, preventing any of the unsteadiness of the muscle nerves, which is so harmful to tobe and quality, that I confidently commend the tonic at every opportunity."-July 11, 1912.1

Two curious facts are shown by Austra lia's rainfall records, which have been kept for 20 to 10 years. Forbes, a New South Wales town near the centro of Australia's population, has a monthly rainfall of about two inches, and this continues practically the same for every month in the year. The other odd generalization is that the rainfall else where shifts with pendulum-like regulari ty. In the

the summer months it is greatest on the north and north east coasts, but the distribution changes gradually, and

An outline of Australia is cut from a card, and bencath this opening a lower card, with an axis through Forbes, shows as it is rotater the changing rainfall distribu- tion, index marks giving the positions of the hyetals, or lines of equal rain, for cach month.

ELECTRIC LIQUID STJERING,

The so-called "pinch effect" is a vigorous spouting up from the confined upper surface when an electric current is passed through a column of liquld, such as molten metal. In a Londo demonstration of his patent furnace, Dr. Hering directed attention to the practical application of this curious scientific phenomenon, the energetic circulation bastening the reactions of the furnace, and tending to give a uniform product with elimination of impurities.
