The latest figures indicating the ma- culated measuremente of solar tempera- ture, or, rather, what is understood to be the temperature of the sun's Lum- inous surface, were furnished last week by Professors Scheiner and Wilsing, of the Astrophysical Obseyvatory at Pots- dam, Germany. By the aid of a special- ly constructed ' photometer connected with a large refractor of 32 inches dia- meter heat spectra were measured of 109 different stars. On this basis, says The New York Sun, the solar tempera- ture is estimated to amount to 6130 de- grees Fahrenheit. The previous figures, obtained from pyrometer tests, were 6,000 degrees. Professor Nordmann, Paris, has been working simultaneously on the same subject, but by 11 different method, His apparatus, by which the stellar spectra are eliminated automatically up to the particular color band indicating their temperature, gave as a readt a solar heat of 5,990 degrees, The Germaiis de - Stare that their calculations are more sxhanstive and more likely to be cor- rect. - .

No trouble causes more widespread, suffering and discomfort than indiges- tion. The ailment takes various forms. Some victims are ravenous for food; others turn sick and faint at the eight ox meals; but as a rule every meal is followed, by intense pains in the chest, heartburn, eick headache, dizziness and shortness of bteath. Indigestion assumes in, obstinate form because ordinary medi- cines only subdue its symptoms—but do cot cure. So-called ,pre-dageeted foods only make- the digestion more sluggialt, end ultimately make the trouble take a chronic form. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills dure indiges- tion because they go right to the root of the trouble. They nuske new, rich, blood that Invigorates weakened organs, :thus strengthening the digestive system so that the stomach.does its own work. That is the Dr. William' way—the ra- tional way—to cure indigestion awl the ailments that arise from it. This has been proved time after time in the pub- lished cures wrought by Dr. Williams' Fink Pills. Miss Blanche Wallaee, Dart- mouth, N. S., sans: "I suffered greatly with my need and stomach, and often took fainting spells. I could not retain anything on my stomach and while I naturally •craved food I really dreaded mealtime with the pain and discomfort that followed. I tried a number of remedies, but got no relief. My mother was using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills at the time with so much benefit that she Induced me to try them. The result was that soon the trouble had, passed away, and I have since enjoyed the best of health."

State Game Commissioner T: J. Hol- land will have a dreaded name among the coyotes and wolves before he goes out of office, for he is determined to wage a war of extinction against the "varmints." Commissioner Holland believes that coyotes are responsible for destruction of more game in Colorado than an army of pot hunters thirty times as large as those which annually flood the deer sec- tions. All during the summer and win- ter they are chasing the deer, pulling down young fawns in the late summer and capturing helpless animals in the deep snow when winter comes. Therefore he will issue instructions to all game wardens to poison coyotes and wolves. The Government has perfected a new wolf poisoning system that is said to work ,very effectively. And the old Strychnine carcass will be worked to the limit to deplete the bands of killers which range all over the moult -balm and plains of Colorado In the early days, according to Com- missioner Holland, coyotes rarely fre- quented the mountains. Hardly an old trapper or pioneer remembers ever hav- ing seen coyotes in the mountains. Sus- tenance was far easier on the plains for two reasons, the game was more easily caught and the coyotes did not have man to depend upon. When men went into the mountains the refuse they threw away from their living would keep a coyote alive for a long time. The mountain coyotes now hang around ranch houses and towns' more than anywhere else, and in the night time steal in to pilfer and gorge. They always find plenty to eat either by kill - in or stealing from men. Gem- nussioner Holland thinks that he can do much toward preserving game and killing coyotes by Using poison, especi- ally as the new game law provides boun- ty money.—From the Deliver Republi- can.

Its use for larger buildings has proven its efficiency, and is attracting the atten- tion of men interested in the building of homes. The question of cost Is naturally of great importance to such men. Frame construction is of such a charecter that its cost has a considerable range, de- pending on the manner in which it is put up, but A first-class frame house will cost more than concrete. Brick construction will cost for a 13. inch wall from 30' cents to 50 cents per square foot of wall, and a 9 -inch wall will acme from 25 cents to 30 cents per square foot of wall, To these figures must be added, for the finished wall, cost of furring, lathing and two brown or snatch coats of plater and the white coat. Hollow tile conetructiom which has an advantage over brick, by reason of its air space, averages about the coet of brick or a trifle under, The cost of block construction la from 18 cents to 35 eente per square foot of wall, having a trickness of 8 to 12 inches, inclusive. For the 'finished wall and the cost of the white finish coat, which Ks put ridectly on the concrete, thus saving the cost of furring, lathing and plaster. A hollow,, reinforced concrete wall will cost from 15 cents to 25 cents per square foot of wall, plus the finish coat. A 0 -inch wall, with furring, lathing or metal sheathing, will cost 11 cents to 18 cents, per square foot for the concrete, plus the furring, lathing and plaster, Two -Inch partitions will cost 10 cents to 20 cents per square foot of concrete floors, and cost from 25 to 40 per cent. neOre than wooden joist construction rooms, but little snore than wooden shingles.

Hu- bert, the well-known advocate, ef 214 James street, is a double tribute to Dodd's Kidney Pills.

And the reason of this is that they do Just what they are advertised to do. They cure diseased Kidneys and put them in condition to clear all impurities out of the blood. They cure Bright's Disease, Diabetes and Backache, be- cause these are Kidney diseases.

The construction and maintenance of streets and roads is a matter of great public interest in Germany. From every standpoint—military, agricultural, com- mercial, hygienic, economic—the ques- tion of good roads is deemed of the ut. most importance. Every encouragement is given to those experimenting along thees lines, and many improvements or- iginating here have been adopted in other parts of the world. One of the matters now reeciving the special atten- tion of German scientists, highway au- thorities and engineers is the treatment of streets and roads foe the purpose of obviating dust and mud. 'While the modern paving' of streets and the more solid construction of roads resulting from the use of macadam and other hard materials have largely elimin- ated the mud and the consequent clog- ging of thane in periods succeeding heavy rainfalls, the dust has still remain- ed to plague the traveller and to nienace the public health by the absorption and distribution of bacteria. Various combinations of oil and salt have been used in Germany to sprinkle the streets and roads, but as the effect .was only transitory this method was not considered a solution of the problem of maintaining hard, clean and sanitary highways. Experiments have also been Made with col tar, and some of these preparations applied to the surface of loath have kept the dust- settled for longer periods of time than by former methods. Although recognized as an un. proveetrint, the expense coneectea with the employment of these preparations has istood as an objection to their gen- oral use, and experiments were continued' for the purpose of producing a more ideal and cheaper composition for treat- ing roads, One of the results of these recent ex- periments is the preparation of the sub- stance mentioned, apokonin, wilielt has been pronounced by some technical ob- servers the best and most lasting road covering yet brought out. The merits of this process were discussed at the TO - cent convention of scientists and physi- cians held in Salzburg, Germany. The proem Is secret, but It is known that coal tar oils are the main ingredients. The heavy, penetrating qualities of the oils give great binding puwer to the composition.

A USEFUL BULLETIN ON THE SUB- JECT OF PIG FEEDING. The Pennsylvania State College (agri- cultural experiment station) has just is- sued Bulletin No. 95 on the subject of experiments in pig feeding,' which should be in the hands of all farmers in the State who are interested. It will be sent free by addressing the station at State College, Centre county, Pa. The experiments were made with white mid- dlings vs. corn chop and tankage, and the conclusions are: Pigs on a ration of middlings alone made better use of their fee dat first than those on a ration of corn chop and tankage, but later the exact reverse was the case. The pigs on the exclusive middling ration were not as active and healthy as those on corn chap and tankage, neither did the for- mer eat with the relish that did the lat- ter. Pigs on corn drop and tankage (8 to I made much better growths and de- velopment throughout the experiment. The three pigs on middlings made only a total gain of 337.5 pounds, while those on corn chop and tankage gained a total of 448.5. Neither ration proved very profitable for growing and fat - telling The eon' chop and tack. age had a slight advantage in cosh lam pound of gain. With eorri chop at an average price the Tatter ration could be used to good advantage. Middlings, however, when fed alone proven to be an undersirable, unappetizing and un- profitable ration when fed for arty length of time.. The bogs fed corn chop and tankage dressed out a noticeably better percentage. The dressed carcasses showed no appreciable difference as to the relative proportion of lean to fat- ter is to condition of either. Probably the one feature brought out ire the test was the ability of the pigs on torn chop and tankage to consume larger quan- tities of feed with a relish amtmake iatioh better growth and development 14 every way.

Nor is the eastward. activity confined to trade and Industry, It is well known that many inhabitants of the Dalmatian coast, though Austrian subjects, are Ital. ian in race, language and sympathies. Powerful unofficial organizations, like the Dante Society, are busily promoting the Italian language end culture throughout the rejuvenated Turkish em- pire, It Is even asserted that in censequence of improved relations between Quirinal and Vatican religious orders, es- pecially the Franciscans, have eagerly taken up' this Italian propaganda. LA GRIPPE Arrested, and Consumption Cured Mr. G. D. Colwell, of Walkerville, Ont. MS stricken down with La Grippe in 1906 and it left him in very bad condition, He says: I was allrun down and bordering on Consumption. I could not sleep atnights, had awful sweats, and coughed nearly the whole time. This is how I was when I began to take Psychine, in a low nervous state; but from the first bottle I began to improve. Itdid marvels for me and brought me back to health in no time, making a new man of me. It fortifies the body against the attacks of La Grippe and is a sure pre. ventative. I always take Psychine if I feel a cold coming on and it puts me right in no time." • No HOME SHOULD BE WITHOUT PSYCHINE For Sale by all Druggists and Dealers, 50e. & $1 Oa Utile. Dr. T. A. SLOCUM LIMITED, TORONTO PSYCHIN PRONOUNCED SI -KEEN A Billion Dollars. Suppose some kind of a land of golden sands should offer you a billion paper dollars if you would count them? You would go to work as though your life depended on your speed, counting for about twelve hours a day? How foolish that would 'be! You had better thank him with as good a grace as possible and go to some country where money is not so plentiful. A. billion is a million times a million. By strict application you might count 200 bills a minute, and, after practice, learn to keepup that rate of speed. That would give you. $12,000 an hour, $288;000 a day (24 hours) or $105,120,000 in a year. Had Adam at the beginning of his ex- istente begun to count, and counted night and day, he would not yet have finished his billion. To count a billion dollar bills would require a person to count 200 a minute for a period of 0,512 years, 342 days,.5 hours and 20 minutes, provided he should count continuously night and day. But if, while attempting to avail your- self of this bounty of the king of the land of golden sands you should allow yourself 1.2 hours for sleep, rest and eating, to count your billion you would - need 18,025 years, 319 days, 10 hours' and 45 minutes.—New York innes. 4 • 4o. Tree Life Curiosities. Among the curiosities of tree life is the sofar or whistling tree, of Nubia. When the -wind blows over this tree it gives out flute -like sounds, playing away to the wilderness for hours at a time strange, weird melodies. It is the spirit of the dead singing among the branches, the natives say, but the sci- entific white man says that the sounds are due to a myriad of smelt holes evhich an insect bores in the spines of the branches. The weeping tree of the Canary Islands is another arboreal freak, This tree in the dryest weather will rain down showers frem it leaves and the natives gather up the water from the pool formed at the foot of the trunk and find it pure and fresh, The tree exudes the Water front innumerable pores at the base of the leaves.—Lon. don Globe. • All cannot be great, but everybody can be grate/tit—Dallas News.

"Tell us what shall 'be the sign of Thy 'coining' (presence) and of the end of the world" (age.) Matt =iv, Our Lord. gave madly signs to be watched for, which ire said would clearly show that Ile is nigh, even at the doors." Matt. aexiv. 33. He then said, "As the days of Neale so shall be the owning (presence) of the Son of Man." Everything was going on as usual, eating, drinking, mar- rying, and they "knew not" till the flood came and took them all away; so shall be the presence of the Son of Man. 37-30. Noah and, his family knew, but the masses did not. Our Lord was pre- sent thirty years before. He was pub- licly introduced at Jordan. He ascribed the downfall and destruction of the Jew- ish nation to- their ignorance through spiritual blindness: "Because thou knew- ex.4 knew - est ttime time of thy visitation." Luke in his first epistle to the Theeselou- iaus, Paul says that they (believers) have no need to he instructed regarding the times and the seaeons (of our Lord's return, of which he has been speaking) for you "know that the days of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night." v. 1.2. But he explains that it will come only "in the world as a thief; taking them by surprise, where they are saying "Peace and safety.' The peace conferences at The Hague and the many speeches, made regarding world-wide peace are noteworthy, In his second letter to the Thessalon- ians ii. 1-4, Paul again speaks of the coining of our Lord, which he says will be preceded by a "falling away" (evi- dently from Christ), and the man ehnin be revealed, "setting himself forth tia" hiod, IL Mess. ii .1-4. And to -day this assertion, that mail is divine, a part of God, is being widely taught . The .Jewish leaders made this arerertioa just before their downfall. "We,' have one Father, God," Our Lord said, "Ye are of your father, the devil, who is the father lies." John viii.
