Savant Cites a Few Conditions as Proof of His Novel De- claration. Professor Heinrich Simroth, the Leipzig zoologist, has a new theory to explain evolution and to account for the ;present distribution of ani- mals en the earth. Re calls his doctrine the pendula- tion theory. Pendulation is the eternal ,slow oscillation of the earth's axis which makes the poles change their positions and there - tore involves a 'slow change of cli- mate on a given spot. That the poles do shift is proved by such phenomena as the proces- sion of the equinoxes, In past ages, says Simroth, the earth's axis changed its angle greatly. The north and south poles swung perio- dically to where the equator is now, and then swung back again. That, he Bays, is the real expla- nation of the icecaps which former- ly covered the temperate zone. It expl.ainls the former fertility of the extreme north and south, which is provd by Shackleton's disocvery of coal measures near the south pole. It also gives a reason for the elevation of continents and islands. L Wherever the equator was for the time being there centrifugal force kept the sea higher than it was at THE FLATTENED POLES. The land was, therefore, sub- merged. Later it rose in the sihape of islands and continents. That is why there are remains of seaweed, mussels and crabs, and also raised beaches hundreds of miles inland. The pendulation which caused these changes at the • same time pre- determined the evolution and dis- tribution of animals and of men. Primitive man arose in Central Europe because there the pendula tion was greatest. The north pole always traveled south along an invariable line, which corresponded to about the tenth degree east of Greenwich— that is, through Germany, Upper Italy and Africa. This part of the world, therefore, underwent the most marked changes of climate, and these ehang•es of climate helped on evolution. . Animals that could not adapt themselves to it died out, land ani- mals took to the sea, and the sea animals took to the land. The re- latively rapid changes of climate supplied a test of fitness to live. Paleontological research confirms this theory. The best and earliest fossils of beings which now exist, including main, have been found in Europe in a belt between the west of France and Vienna. Here was the origin of man, and here he at- tained soonest A HIGH TYPE. Farther away from the line of pendulation the climatic changes were weaker, and animal life de- veloped more slowly. That is proved by the fauna of Australia. Australia is farthest of all conti- nents away from the line of pendu- lation and Australia has the most primitive mammals and the lowest type of man. Pendulation explains many other scientific puzzles. The disturbance caused by the swinging of the poles is enough to account for mountain formation and for earth- quakes. The pendulation itself was probably due to one of two causes. It was due either to original move- ments in the spiral nebula, which condensed to form the solar system, or to a twist given to the earth by the terrific impact of a second moon. Simroth holds that the elevated continent of Africa to -day repre- sents the debris of this fallen moon. ►I' SINGING FOR CONVICTS. Latest Innovation In Berlin's Fam- ous Moabit Prison. Singing is the latest innovation introduced by the German prison authorities for the diversion of'con- victs. . In the famous Moabit prison for long term convicts in Berlin, pri- soners who possess musical talent are formed into a class which, as- sembles every night in the centre corridor just before the convicts go to bed to sing sacred songs. These songs reverberate through all the galleries of the prison and into the cells, the doors of which are opened for the purpose. On Sunday ,afternoon all the •convicts gather in the prison chapel to join in choral singing. As silence is strictly enforced at the Moabit prison, the convicts look forward to the opportunity, to sang with almost childish delight. GETTING SHODDY.

TO STRENGTHEN WEAK NERVES The Blood Supply 1•ut be Made Rich) Red and lure When you build up the blood you strengthen the nerves, because the nerves get their .food through the blood. You cannot reach the nerves with medicine except through the blood—this is a great medical truth few people realize, Nervous people are pale people. They are nervous because they are pale. The blood is so thin and watery that it cannot nourish the nerves. Starved nerves mean sciatica, neuralgia, nervous prostration, paralysis. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People are a real nerve tonic, They supply •plenty, of nourishing red blood to the exhausted nerves, thus enabling them to do the work na- ture intended they should do. This is the simple, secret of the success of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in cur- ing nerve troubles. As to their value in cases of sciatica, Mrs. Job Palmer, Fenelon Falls, Ont., says: "For seven weeks I suffered un- told agony from sciatica. I tried everything to ease the pain, but it steadily grew worse. Liniments had no more effect upon the trou- ble than water. Then the dector told me to apply a hot iron to the afflicted part and I did so morning after morning, but my leg had bo - come so numb with the pain that I could hardly feel the heat of the iron. I never• expected to be able to walk again, my leg was so drawn up: I had tried so many things that I had given up hope, yet at the urging of my brother I decided to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. To my surprise in two weeks I was able to stand on my feet with but little pain, and soon after I was able to walk about again. I con- tinued taking the Pills for about two months, but some time before I discontinued their use my leg had become normal again, and the agony of the trouble had disappear- ed, and I have not since had a twinge of it. Words fail to express my gratitude for what the Pills did for me and I most strongly recom- mend them to all sufferers from sciatica." The every day mission of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills is to cure cases like the above, and they will not disappoint if given a fair trial.

It was recently reported from Germany that there was a little town within the empire in which there were no taxes. The town pos- sessed benefactions, the revenues from which enabled it to pay its way without the intervention of the tax gatherer. France never.likes to be outdone by anything German, so a Paris contemporary has set itself the task of finding a parallel. Something more than a parallel has been dis covered, for not only are there no taxes but hte timbers on the com- munal lands are -sufficient -to grant each persona small annuity. This happy land is Montmarion, in the Midi. • There are seven electors in the hamlet, so to avoid anything like rivalry the seven return them- selves to the local council. Cutting The Best Treatment for Itching Scalps and Falling Hair To allay itching and irritation of the scalp, prevent dry, thin and falling hair, remove crusts, scales and dandruff, and promote the growth and beauty of the hair, the following special treatment is most effective, agreeable and economical. On retiring, comb tho hair out straight all around, then begin at the side and make a parting, gently rubbing Cuticura ointment into the partingwith a bit of soft flannel held over the end of the finger. Anoint additi nat partings about half an inch apart untll the whole scalp has been treated, the pur- posebeing to get the Cuticura ointment on the scalp skin rather than on the hair. It is well to place a light covering over the hair to protect the pillow from postibte stain. Tho next morning, shampoo with Cuticura soap and hot water. . Shampoos alone may be Used as often at agreeable, but once or twice a month is generally sufficient for this special treatment for women's hair. Not- withstanding Cuticura soap and ointment are sold everywhere,: those wishing to' try this treatment may do so without expense by sending to "Cuticura," Dept. 4M, Boston, I. S.

TO TUE MANOR BORN. Lord Charles Beresford and the Duke of Argyll were t 'avelling to- gether on the Great Western Rail- way, in England. The only other occupant of their compartment was a prosperous drummer, whose ane cess had been due to natural talent tor business rather tharx to sound education. The noblemen found their companion entertaining, so they listened to his talk until a sinall station in Gloucestershire was reached. Here Lord Charles Bela esford alighted, and was met by a servant of the people with whom Lord Charles Beresford. • he was gciug to stay. The drum- mer leaned out of the window, open-mouthed and wide-eyed. He saw his lordship bowed into a splen- did carriage and driven off down a country lane. Drawing his head within the carriage again he turned to the duke and said: ' "Oos 'im 2" "He is Lord Charles Beresford," the duke replied. "Well, now !" said the drummer. "Fancy the likes of 'im 'obnobbin' with -two cads like you and me I" SHUT THAT WINDOW. After spending the, greater part of the evening with friends John decided that home was the place for him, and, arriving there, he elected to sleep in the front gar- den. Next morning, happening to look up, he saw his wife observing him from an open window. "Shut that window!" he yelled. "Do you want me to catch my death of cold ?" A WINNING START. A Perfectly Digested Breakfast Makes Nerve Force for the Day. Everything goes wrong if the breakfast lies in your stomach like a mud pie. What you eat does harm if you can't digest it—it turns to poison. A bright lady teacher found this to be true, even of an ordinary light breakfast of eggs and toast. She says: "Two years ago I contracted a very annoying form of indigestion. My stomach was in such condition that asimple breakfast of fruit, toast and egg gave me great dis- tress. "I was slow to believe that trou- ble could come from such asimple diet, but finally had to give it up, and found a great change upon a cup of hot Po•stum and Grape -Nuts with cream, for my morning meal. For more than a year I have held to this course and have not suffered except when injudiciously varying my diet. "I have been a teacher for sever- al years and find that my easily di- gested breakfast means a saving of nervous force for the entire day. My gain of ten pounds in weight al- so causes me to want to testify to the value of Grape -Nuts. "Grape -Nuts holds first rank at our table." Name given by Canadian Postum Co., Windsor, Ont.

To' remedy this state of affairs, torpedo boats and the submarines are being sent under "sealed orders" to scour the waters of the channel and make things, so hot under water for the blunt -nosed acrobats of the waves that those who survive will take to the.

This story comes from Australia, where all conversation turns even- tually to matters educational, be- cause every parent is painfully anxious that hie sons shall pass the standard which will free them from certain years of military service. A visitor was conversing with his host's small son and opened as a matter of course with the words; "Do you go to school now ?" "Yes." "And what do you learn? Road ing, writing, sums ?" "Oh, yes, and I learn religion, too." "Religion ?" "Yes. I learn the little religion, which teaches that we all come from Adam. But my' elder brother is in a higher class; he learns the big religion, and that teaches that we all came from monkeys." SIEGE OF DELHI. Greatest of historical Spectacles at the C.N.E. this Year.
