RESISTANCE TO SOUND.
Experiments have recently been
carried out in Germany with the
object of discovering methods and
means for rendering walls and ceil-
ings capable of effective resistance
to sound transmission. One of the
more recently devised methods in-
volves the use under the ceiling, or
parallel to the wall as the case may
be, of a network of pulleys secured
into adjacent walls and not touch-
ing at any point the surface to be
protected against sound. Upon the
wire network is plastered a compo-
sition
omposition formed of , strong glue, plas-
ter of par. is and granulated cork, so
as to make a flat slab, between
which and the wall or ceiling is a
cushion of confined air, The meth-
od described is said to be good in
two respects; first, absence of con-
tact between the protected surfaces,
and, secondly, the colloid nature of
the composition recommended.—

MOST POWERFUL POISON.
A. Grain Would ]fill a Million and
a Half Guinea Pigs.
The most powerful poison known
is reported to have been extracted
by a German chemist from the seeds
of the ricinus, the familiar castor
nil plant, and has been attracting
much attention on account of its
remarkable properties.
Its power is estimated to be so
great that a gram—about a thirtieth
of an ounce—would kill a million
and a half guinea pigs. If admin-
istered so as to cause illness without
death, it •gives immunity against a
larger, quantity, and the dose can
gradually, be inereased, until rnoare
than a thousand times as much can
be endured as would kill an un-
treated animal. Though arsenic,
morphine, and other poisons can be
taken in larger and larger quantity,
nothing approaching this marvellous
increase in dose can be .borne.
The ricinus poison has effects
much like those of living germs,
and in immunized animals an anti-
toxin is formed, so that injections
of their blood serum may cure ani-
mals that are already in danger or
have become ill from ricinus poison-
ing.

Baby's Rash Became
a Mass of Humor
Parents Decided He Could Not Be
Cured, "Cuticura" Soon Made
His Skin Perfectly Cigar.
A Toronto man, Mr. Robert Mann, of 758}
Queen St. East, says: "Otlr,boy was born in
tomato .' on Oct: 13, 1908, and When three
Months old a slight rash appeared on his
cheek. What appeared to
be a water blister would
form. When It broke,
matter would run out
starting now blisters until
his entire face, head and
shoulders were a mass of
scabs and you could not
see a particle of clear akin.
We did not know what
to do for him and tried
about every advertised
remedy without avail, In-
deed some of them only
added to his suffering and
one in particular, the --
Remedy, almost put the
infant Into convulsions.
The family doctor pro-
scribed for him. This did
not do any good so we
took him to a. good,
He was treated as an out-patient twice a
'week and he got worse, if anything. We then
called in another doctor and inside of a week
the boy was, to all appearances, cured and
the doctor said his work was done. But the
very next day it broke out as bad as ever.
"We decided that it could not be cured
land must run its course and so we just kept
his arms bandaged to his side to prevent his
tearing his flesh. The Cutieura Remedies
were recommended. We started using them
In May, 1900, and soon the care was complete.
Cuticura made his skin perfectly clear and
lie is entirely free from the skin disease."
(Signed) Robert Mann, May 3, 1910.
In another letter, dated June .29, 1911, ho
adds: "lily, boy has never had any more
trouble since using Cutieura."
For more than a generation Cutieura Soap

WHALE BOAT CATCHES 13
Monster harpooned Off Van.
Coast.
While scouring the ocean for
whales one of the little- steamers
working from the Kyuquot staiition
landed a thirty-foot shark, says the
Vancouver Sun.
The "wolf of the sea" is claimed
to be one of the' largest ever seen
in nol„thern waters and weliehed ;tip
proximately eight tons,
The whaling steamer had been
searching vainly for whales for sev-
eral days and the look out had
grown tired of scanning tete surface
of the ocean. He was suddenly
aroused to action by observing the
dorsal fin of a monster shark cut-
ting the water about 200 yeards on
the port bow. As the bigi. sharks
yield considerable oil, the ship's
officers decided to try for this one
in view of the lack of wheat.
Runningto within '' gds of
the shark with the boat, the gunner
fired the harpoon from the gun and
struck the monster at the first shot.
After a terrific fight to hold the
struggling sea animal it was hauled
aboard and cut up, the steamer re-
suming her search for • the larger
mammals,

SOURCE OF ETERNAL YOUTH.
Microbe in Dog Might Prevent Old
Ago iit Hunan Beings.
Where is considerable discussion
among lseientis4ts in France in re-
gard to the announcement by Prof.
Metchnikoff, of the Pasteur Insti-
tute, that he is studying the effec-
tiveness` of .a microbe called "gly-
cobactor," as a preventive of old
age. Prof, Armand Gautier, who
is a member of the Academy of.
Sciences as well as the Academy of
Medicine, and Prof, Berillon,
while admitting interest in Prof.
Matchnikoff's study, are inclined to
doubt its pracitcability.
Prof. Metchnikoff says he has
found a beneficent mierobe in the
intestines of a dog, which, if im-
planted in the intestines of man,
would probably generate sufficient
sugar to destroy the human intesti-
nal microbes which are responsible
for the maladies of old age.

STOPS SHOES CREAKING. ' H. W. DAWSON, Ninety Colborne
Every woman knows how annoy-
ing it is when her shoes begin to
creak. Probably she has hardly
noticed it in her usual walking, but
just as soon as she would walk
quietly they set up a most distress-
ing squeak. To remedy this soak
the ,sole in linseed oil, using a plate
or shallow pan, allowing the sole
only to come in contact with the oil.
The creak will disappear after a few
hours and the shoe will last much
longer on account of this treatment,
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
Such is the recuperative Hower contained

else will. The appetite comes back, That
weakening perspiration is stopped. The
lunge and respiratory organs are healed
at the same time. Its efficacy to fight
consumption, weak or bleeding lungs,

beyond doubt not by what I state, but by
what is stated by those who have taken
it for those ailments and have been eared.
