AN ACCIDENTAL DISCOVERY. (Christian Herald.) Blotting paper was diseovered purely by accident. Some ordinary paper WAS being milde one day at a mill in 13erk- shire, England, when a careless work- man forgot to put in the sizing material. The whole of the paper made WWI re- garded as useless. The proprietor of the mill desired to write a note .shortly af- terward, and he took a piece of waste paper, thinking it was good enough for the purpose. To his intense annoyance, the ink spread all over the paper. Sud- denly there flashed over Ms mind the thought that this paper would do la - stead of sand for drying ink, and he at once advertised his waste paper as "blotting." There was such a big de - mond that the mull Ceased to make ordinary paper, and was soon Occupied in making blotting paper, the use of which soon spread to all countries. How a Doctors Bill Was Avoided When the amount of money paid every year by a large family to the /shy - Aldan is footed up, it makee no small item of expense. But to entirely es- cape a doctor's bill for several years is an interesting e.ceomplishrtient on the part of Mrs. Jeasie Beggins, of Stella, P. 0., Ont., which gives this sensible ad- vice: Very frequently there are ailments in the family that can be avoided If tWerviline' is lifted.

Why don't you try it'? • THE LAW Or THE AIR Rights of Individuals and Nations as Affected by Aviators. Londext.—Who owns the air? In the matter of aerial navigation this question °Pena up large posSibilities of litigation, eepeeialty in Europe. At the request of the board Of laws of the University of London, Dr. II. D. Hazeltine, reuder in English law at Cambridge, hoe been de- livering a course of lectune on 'The Law of the Air," which were elosely fol- lowed by judges and Dwyer& Dr. Hateltine's view le that the air belougs to the land owner. He pointed ,out, however, that the maxim "Whcever owna the groond OWIIS it up to ths eltiesal although fix mly embedded in Eng- lish treat thought from the Middle Ages down to the preeent time,. had uever been fully recognized by the (louts, Aix. tual deeisione, Dr. Itazeltiee observed, had permitted the land owner to recover in trespass for various interferences with the lower stratum of the air space, but there were ao actual decisionthat the land ownee -had the action of trespass for interferemes, either by passage of aerial craft or other measure;, with the ppper strata of the air -Boone, He maintained that it would be hound- er in legal principle to reeogniee the principle teat the land owner owned the entire air space. for iu the interest of aerial navigation that preprietary eight could then be limited upon \h pier:agile already adopted in tbe new German Civil Code. On this principle the land owner although owting the enthe air spave, could not objett to the paeeage of s.erial craft in cases where such easenge did not interfere in any way with Iiie proper and legitimate interests. Diseuesing the glleAtion.of Lite liability of aeronauts and aviators for eee'dent the leeturer said that itt the. present state of aerial iielenee mid of the 'Eng- lish authorities Absolute iahi1itv for any such accident wou,d nrolmbly liti the view adopted by the conrisoif this coun- try. With regard to the various sovereign- ty' of the air theories seine publiciste, he said, maintained that the territorial State had sovereieu dominion in the air space above its teeritory mid territorial waters, but that Ole sovereignty wive limited either in heiteht or by a servitude of free passage for ;ill serial uevigittorn fcreign as well as doineetie. The theory of a sovereignty limitca in 1 eight was, however. open to thn same objections as the theory of a se-celied zone of protection, ant *the leeturer pressed the view that a sovereignty limited by right of innocent paaesges would not always conduce to tile Selety and welfare of the State. Tile State had and should have full sovereign dominion ' and the entiri: air spaee. abov» its terri- tory and territorial waters, sueb sorer- elauty being physically possible and l. g4111y deeirable. The anelogies of 1.114 nigh Sea and the maritime belt of coastal waters as applied by advonattes of lim- ited sovereignty were, he thought, far from being thoroughly sound and applie. able, • Sovereignty was already exereised by States in the lower stratum of their air space, aml the sante fiat right should he recognized in all the upper strata as well, The recognition of each territorial State's fait right of sovereignty in the air space above it would serVe as a firm basis for the future development of na- tional and international aerial law, ae' curing to all parties eoneereted, aerial navigators, as well as Statee and their iiihabitauts, the WI legit enjoyment or their proper and legitimate Interests, ln discussing luternational rake re- garding wireless telegraphy in tintee of war Dr. Ilizeithle referred to the prob. lows raised by the Itusso-Jammese war and the solution of these problems ;by the tweeted Hague eonference. He alio discussed the question rnlaecl by the Russo-Japanese war as to whether new. paper correspondentemployluen wireleee apparatus in timed of war should be viewed as spies in ticaordarice with the Russian proclamation issued tearing the war. He contended that correepoxidents in actiug openly should not be viewed as Spies, but might possibly in eertain eir- cumetances if captured, be treated as prisoners of war, The Hague declaration of 1007 pro- hibiting until the next Hague conference the discharge of projectiles and explo- sives from balloons had not been ac- quiesced in by most of the great powers. Nevertheless the Hague regulittiens of 1907 contained a narrower subdivision whereby the attack on or bombardment of undefended places by any means what- ever was forbidden. This article was un- derstood by the conference to cover the ease of attacking or bombaedinr uncle - fended towns by means of protectiles and explosives hurled from baroons or other air vehicles. This prohibiticifit was un- limited es regards duration. Among manyother points referred to the lecturer maintained that the notion- ality of an air behiele should be the same asthe nationality of its owner rather than being determined by the domicile of its owner. The, ownership of private in- dividuals and the complete sovereignty of States would, he thought, serve as a firm baste upon which to develop aerial law . of the f at ure, NERVOUS DISEASES IN THE SPRING 0,01•1•••••••••r• Can be Removed by Toning Up the Blood, Thus Strengthening, the Nerves.

And yet the injunctions of the Master fall flat, and fall flat still in the animat- ed soul, Jimping in ite paralysis, stum- bling over the fragments of former greatness, dead to God, to greatness and glory, and alive only as worms and yen - rain that burrow in the ground. How may I measure man's marvellous capabilities? Is he the son of the King, a prince of the blood, an heir of immu- tability, fitted to receive the invitation, "Seek first theAingdom of God and all these things shall be added again." Can he enter with ease and honor'and with- out loss of time and loss of delicaey upon his forfeited•ostate? These are simple attractions whieli he may entertain al once, and yet how dull and heavy and blind, and the way to help us to measure his magnificence Is tolook at the things] which we promised iiint to adorn, beautify and exalt his po- sition. Who Call enumerate these won- derful additions? Houses, lands, rieheS, 11C1101'S titles, sapreinaciea, these are Not "the," they are "added," he is before all, and above all, and not to be counted in the category of "things." He is a Writ from Goil, like God, giving back to teed, separate from the earth as a swimmer is separate from the sea, as a bird is sep- arate from the air it cleaves „Alas! Ile is a spirit blemished, his garments are defiled, los crown is in the gutter, he is steipped of the trappings of his former Inuit, and is earthly,sensual, and devilish. We must be careful to distinennsh be- tween persons and things, we reach our highest catininte of man when we con- sider the things that are lavished Amen him, which are not essential to him, and which will glide away from him as wa- ter ceases to adorn the fish when it is taken out of the sea. Think of the magnificent array of things brought near to man: Sun moon, and stars, blue sky, fruitful FiceiVers, purest snow, flowers birds and breezes, mountain, vele and glorious sea; beauty and power and grace in every living thing, the whole creation, ineluding the body of man. These are all things, but they are not the spirit which bath un- derstanding from God. "A plitee in the ranks await you, Bach man has some part to play; The past and the future are nothing ln the face of the stern To -day." THE PATH WE ARE LED. God leads none of us by the rapid and easy path to knowledge, fortune, or happiness. We all of us travel by a path which has long stretches of barren and weary march, and here and there out/ soft resting -places, flashing like emer- aids on the diadem of the desert,where we may wait and sleep and play awhile, before we gird up our loin.s and pur- sue our toilsome way. You do not love your daily tasks, whose monotony be- comes wearisome, but they must be done before you cart ungied and lied -oven in some oases of social communion, and hive for the moment a life whose sense. lion is bliss. The °saes are few, but they are sure. No true pilgrim can miss them. Not ntore surely did Israel find sufficient though scanty pasture threugh the whole desert way, with oases of beauty and plenty at due intervals, than tides man find his bread sure under the hardest circumstances, with appointed seasons of j'oy and even rapture; meunt- ing up, ia the holiest and most pilgrim - like way, to "joys unspeakable and full of glory." The short, way might hriog us to rest and glory sooner, but the rest would relax, and the glory blind us, We travel by a longer, harder path, that niusele may be disciplined by toil, cour- age assured by conquest, and self -goy, ernmett Audio& in many a season of shame and pain. Then the crosvn fit us, rest will be clam and noble ae tivity, and glory we shall wear like kings. 3, Baldwin Brown. ••••*••••••••••Yi TM:1 ..11qttISALUM THAT IS ABOVE.
