HOLLAND DIS- CUSSES ALL THEORIES, rthquakes Prove Globe Has Central Core, According to Scientists. The very latest answer to the im- iemorial question, "What is inside is earth?". is furnished, by earth uakes, or more correctly, by a deep tudent of such shocks of the earth's rust. And his answer seems so reas- nable and it fits in so well with all nown phenomena that it is accepted y scientific men as the best yet offer - d. In his. opening address before the ction on geology of the British asso . ation at its recent meeting in Aus- alia Sir Thomas H. Holland discus - d all the theories of the interior of e earth, but leaned strongly to that forth by R. D. Oldham. IIe said Le others were all hypotheses. This as the nearest approach to actual ob- rvation. When an earthquake takes place licate instruments called seismo- aphs record it at distant points. one of the waves sent forth from earthquake center travel through e earth and some travel around by s superficial crust, the former reach - g the distant seismograph before e latter," said Sir Thomas Holland his address. The seismograph re rds prove that the waves passing "rough the earth are of two kinds, aveling at two different speeds. So ere are three well -marked phases of n• earthquake shock, the third of rhich is that of the waves passing rough the earth's crust. These ave an average speed of Three Kilometers a Second, s proved by the length of time elaps- ng between the shock and the mo- ent of its recording. "It is thus assumed," continued Sir homes, "that the waves given rise to he first and second phases in each istant seismographic record, by fol - wing approximately along the chord f the arc between the places of origin nd the instrument, pass through leeper layers of the earth when the eismograph is farther away, the ma- erial at greater depths being presum- tbly more elastic. as well as denser. "But Oldham has shown that when he seismograph is as much as 150 de - roes' from the earthquake center there is a remarkable decrease in the can apparent rate of propagation of the waves giving the second phase in the record, from more than six to about 432 kilometers a. second. There is also a drep/;aithough not nearly so marked, in the apparent speed of the waves of the first phase when trans- mitted to a seismograph 150 degrees or more distant from the earthquake origin. "OIdham concludes that this de- crease of apparent rate of waves traveling through the earth to places much more than 120 deg>;ees distant is due to their passing into a central core, four tenths of the radius in. thick- ness, hickness, composed of matter which trans- mits the waves at a markedly low speed. Thus the earthquake waves which emerge at a distant not greater than 120 degrees from" their origin do not enter this central core, while those which pass into the earth to a greater depth than six tenths of the radius are supposed to be , Refracted on Entering, and again on leaving, the postulated core, in which the 'rate .of transmis- sion of an elastic wave of distortion is very much slower than in the main mass of the -earth around. In con- sequence of the refraction of these waves on passing throughethe central core, s law s }"fled' at about 140' de- grees 'from an earthquake origin should be in partial shadow, due to the great dispersion cf the distortion - 1 waves, and the few records made o far by seismographs thus situated ith regard to great earthquakes how that their is either no, or at host a doubtful, record for the second hose, which is known to 'be due to :he so-called distortional waves. "If these observations be confirmed ly further records, we are justified in:l ssuming• that below the heterogen- tous crust there 's a thick shell of astie material, fairly homogeneous o about six tenths of the ,radius,. sur- ounding a' central core, four tenths thickness, which possesses physi- 1 properties utterly unlike those of e outer layers, for in the core the stortional waves are either damped mpletely or are transmitted at very uch lower speeds than in the shell," Waived the Other Chance.

By External il'reatment Mothers Wilt Find Nothing So Speed- ily and Reliable as Old -Time "Nerviline," It's really a shame to upset a young child's stomach by ` internal dosing, when external • treatment' will so promptly break up a cold. When your boy comes in after play with his feet soaking wet, his throat hoarse and sore,,his little, chest tight and congested, just apply Nerviline. Give him a vigorous rubbing over his throat, and put lots of Nerviline on his chest and rub it right in. To make Nerviline penetrate more quickly cover his chest and throat with a hot flannel bandage. This treatment WON'T fail. Your boy will be feeling better in half an hour, and you will have the 'satisfaction of knowing you have warded off perhaps a cold, or grippe, or illness that might have laid him up. Nerviline is mighty good for pre- venting colds and for breaking up a bad one, too. For general family use it cures all sorts of external aches and pains—you simply can't beat it. Try it for earache, toothache, neuralgia, sciatica, lame back, rheumatism, or lumbago. Wherever there is conges- tion, inflammation or pain in the joints or muscles, Nerviline will cure mighty quick. The large 50c, family size bottle is so economical, so useful, it should be in every home. There is also a small 25c. size, Dealers any- where sell Nerviline. GERMANY .BATES BRITAIN. The blain Reason For Its Torrent of Abuse. Looked at from one point of view, Germany's special hatred of Brit- ain and the immeasured abuse that she is outpouring on her, may be accepted as evidence that the economic campaign is bringing home to the people of the Father- land even more than the fighting on the field, the seriousness of the po- sition that :has resulted from the closing of the sea against every- thing that ministers to the normal life of a, great economic State, says a Scotch paper. All our own ports are open. Food supplies .and raw material keep pouring in just as usual, the factories and mills' and workshops, as a rule, are reason- ably busy. and there is no indica- tion that to -morrow will not be .as to -day. On the other hand, every day that passes makes things worse fo'n'Germany:7 Thei'e is no work coming in from without. Materials are lacking. Exports are out of the . question. The prospect dark- ens. And all because of the Brit- ish fleet. It is Great Britain, in other words, that hits Germany hardest where it is most felt. Hence the torrent of abuse. In itself it is of no consequence to us; none the, less it is the surest proof that the economic battle is as resultful in its own way as the efforts of the Allies in the west, and the lost (bat- tles on the Russian frontier.

"When I was working around the farm last winter, I had an attack of inflammation," writes Mr. E. P. Daw- kins, of Port Richmond. "I was weak for a long time, but well enough to work until spring. But something went wrong with my bowels, for I had. to use salts or physic all the time. My stomach kept sour, and always after eating there was pain and fulness, and all the symptoms of intestinal indiges- tion. Nothing helped me until I used Dr. Hamilton's Pills. Instead of hurt- ing, like other pills, they acted very mildly, and seemed to heal the bowels. I did not require large doses to get results with Dr. Hamilton's Pills, and feel so glad that I have found a mild yet certain remedy. To -day r am well —no pain, no sour stomach, a good appetite, able to digest anything.

The latest fish story that has bean sprung on that public—n story which "out -whops" some of the most famous- of the Whopper Club series --is that hold byiJ. Jones, an inspector in the agricultural branch of the Oanacban Pacific, '..whose ac- tivities are oonnfined to the Rose- nary colony, neer B•a,ssano. There is nothing of •the piking at- titude about tbhe story but the fish. The fish were pike. It appears that there has been started among the fish of the Bow River a. "back to the land" movement, with the, irri- gated lend preferred. Mr. Jones rays that on the land, or on, one particular farm., in the Roseafiary colony, the water was turned into the cli;tches one morning for two hours •and then turned off. When ie h -ad all se-eped away into the ground there were enough pike found to feed thirteen men for one meal. Since that time a number of fish have been obtlained. In fact, there seems to be a serious 'sort of mania among these fish to gest out of the water at the earliest possible moment. It appears that many of the irri- gation ditches are full- of fish, and in acme places one of the favoeilte recreations is rio go out and "land" a flock of fish for breakfast.—Monte real Gagette,.

"It may seem like a paradox when I say that with every life and every, dollar that is being destroyed in l;urope, Canada's po'-ssibilitiels in- crease, yet it is so," he observed. "Of all the nations of the earth Canada will profit more by this war than any other --more than my own country across the border." Mr. Curwood was particularly impressed with the possibilities of the great national playgrounds, Jasper Park, on the line of the Grand Trunk Pacific. "It will b -e a tremendous draw ing card for tourists," he said. "I don't hesitate to say that its gran- deur, its natural beauties- and the advantages it will shortly hold for tourists, excel even our Yellow- stone, and that is slaying a great deal.
