This distressing complain is suc-
cessfully dealt with by the Zam-I3uk

excruciating as the disease itself is
Wnitkelnillg, and every sufferer should
lose no time in giving Zani-Buk a
thorough trial. Zam-Buk subdues tho
pain, allays the inflammation and
enables rest and eomfort to come to
the worn-out sufferer.
Mrs. E. Bonen, of 76 Scott Street,

it my duty to write of the benefits
derived from using Zatn-Buk. For
some monthI was a constant suf-
ferer front bleeding piles. I had used
a great many ointments but got no
relief until I had tried Zam-Buk, It
Mired me and I have had no return
of the trouble. Since my cure, 1
have advised others suffering with a
similar complaint to use Zam-Buk, and
in each instance have heard satis

being, in some caSes, to save expense by
sparing material. But the beaver &relies
his dam against the current, and experi-

Useful Soldering Fluid.
A soldering fluid, which has proved
very useful in certain railway shops, is
made, 1311.518 the Street Railway Journal,
by killing two quarts of hydrochloric
mid with all the zinc it will take up.
Then to the acid a quart of water is
added, or it may have to be added before
the zinc will fully dissolve. A quart of
glycerine, which has previously been mix-
ed with a quart of almehol, is then added
to the solution. This fluid is used for
all kinds of soldering, and has been found
especially desirable with greasy or dirty
connections, as well as for soldering
iron. It is defined that the glycerine
prevents all rust, which plays havoc
when many soldering fluids containing
hydrochlone acid are used.

The Source of Life.
In Poleozoie times, then, writes Pro-
fessor Lowell, in the Century, it was
the earth itself, not the sun, to which
plant and animal primarily stood be-
holden for existerme. This gives us a
most instructive glimpse into one plane-
tologie process. To the planet's own in-
ternal heat is due the chief fostering of
the beginnings of life upon its surface.
Thus a planet is capable of at least be-
ginning to develop organisms without
more than a inodieum of help from the
central sun. We talk of the sun as the
source of life; and so it is to -day in the
sense of being its sustainer, but the real
source was the earth itself, which also
raised it through its babyhood.

before the ' Linneau Society of New

question of the antiquity of the Imes -
tors of the vanishing aborigines of Aus-
tralia, in a new way. If it can be proved,
he says, that the vegetation of Anse
trona has been. modified in the course
of ages so as to have become more tol-
erant of bush fires, and as a result of
the frequency of such fires, and if such
fires are due Mainly to the agency of
man, then there would be grounds for
attributing considerable antiquity to fire -
