Nerve Strain ---

THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 17TH, 1914.

Mr. B. C. HUCKS (the well-known Flying Man), of Queen's Gate Terrace, London, England, writes:- "I really must express my appreciation of Phosferinc. Some time back I felt myself in a curious state of nervous tension, brought on, no doubt, by the severe strain caused by flying under all sorts of weather conditions for the Daily Mail tour. I had an idea that my nerves were becoming shaken. I was advised to try Phosferine, and was quite astonished at the beneficial effect produced by even the first few doses. Tam now feeling more 'fit' than ever and ready to start upon a season's flying that promises to be considerably more arduous than the last."

No other medicine has received such absolute proof of its extraordinary properties in restoring Shattered Constitutions, and in giving back to the prematurely aged New Life and Energy.

There is only one Phosferine beware of illegal imitations-- do not be misled by Phosph This or Phosph That,

the name of "Worcestershire sauce there is as wide a range of difference as there is under the name of "wine."

The quality of a mixture is not improved in the least by putting it into a bottle that resembles LEA & PERRINS, and by giving

it a label that imitates the appearance of Lea & Perrins.

And still there are people who conclude that if the bottle has the appearance of Lea & Perrins', the fluid inside is like Lea & Perrins' Sauce.

TELLING TIME WITH A PIN.

How any man with an ordinary pin or needle, a place to drive it, and a reason able amount of intelligence, may tell the exact time when his watch happens to run down on a long, camping expedition in the woods is told by F. Irving American in The Sunday Magazine. There are some preliminaries, and in particular it is, necessary to remember the group of figures 3 minutes 55,00014 seconds. In actual practise. Mr Anderson compay- sionately tells us, we may discard the last three figures in the fraction and call the decimal 01 Ses it down as 3 minutes: 55.91 seconds, He goes on:

"When you leave your train compare your watch with railroad time. This is likely to be observatory time, because a railroad watch that varies more than fifteen seconds a week is put into the discard. When you get to camp that night is the time to set up your observatory and take an observation.

Drive the pin into a window-frame so that it stands out horizontally across. the glass, if your camp boasts of a window. If not, pick out a sizable tree- trunk that will not sway with the wind,, Now pick out some object n hundred feet

The main thing is to get a point that is absolutely stationary, so that when one-sights in a beeline 'over the top of the pin he is shooting a straight line into infinitespace. In other words, the pin and the outline of the rock or crag must answer the same purpose for the observer as the two sights on a rifle. 1 barrel, devel

“About ten o'clock at night, or a few minutes before, take a peep across your sights and pick out some prominent star that is near the outline of your crag. This star, like all others in the heavens, is slowly moving toward the west, and at a definite hour that night will set on the line you have projected into the sky. As- the star approaches the line keep your eye on your watch

You will be surprised at the sudden disappearance of this star as it hits the line. At that moment note instantly the time of your watch, which you must. presume is correct on this occasion.

Say the star you have selected sofs at exactly ten o'clock. Put the time' down on paper, with the date. That star will set three minutes and 55.91 seconds earlier every night. Thus it now becomes the hand of your astronomical clock

You won't have any use for this star for some time to come. You still have faith in your watch, But, say two weeks later you discover that you have forgotten to wind your watch. Then you will be glad that you have picked out a guiding star.

Very grave eases develop after such a vaccination much like typhoid fever of moderate intensity, and usually, after a period of three or four weeks, the patient is restored to health. If the attack is a moderate one the effects of the injections may be almost immediate. By means of this auto-vaccination they have been able to save very grave cases, and in some instances there have been unexpected recoveries. Complications of the Beart, which are so much feared, are avoided.. and even when the first symptonis have already been observed they disappear after the first injection and the patient continues rapidly to improve,

As the star sets on the made to-order horizon four minutes earlier each night, it will set in twilight about two or three months after the first observation,

There is another use to which this system can be put besides telling time when one is not handy to standard observatory time; that is, to test the accuracy of one's watch or chronometer. Select several stars, say, half a dozen, and take their setting time on the dial of the
