THE TRUE PHILOSOPHER.
"Never be doing nothing.—SCOTT. Help yourself, and others will help yon. The world is too narrow for two fools a.- ^uarrelling. The merry-hearted have a fortune that thieves tannot steal. Intelligence is not shewn by witty words, but rt wise actions. i When each man is true to himself, then must fell things prosper. I .Wounds may heal, but not those that are made by ill words. The shortest way to do many things is to do one thing at a time. The things most silent and oftenest questioned are stars and graves. Sooner or later the world comes round to see truth and do the right. He that burs what he does not want will soon (Want what he cannot buy. .This is the penalty of the liar: He is not be- lieved when he teUs the truth. There is but one method of attaining exoel- tertoo, and that is hard labour. Life is a 6uooeesion of lessons, which must be j "lived to be understood.-EmLReolq. Truth is as impossible to be soiled by any out- ward touch as the sunbeam.—MILTON. Whilst we are executing one work we are pre- ng ourselves to undertake another. j more than you are paid for. Remember it i. lt,4.es some people a long time to pay their bills. If you intend to do a mean thing wait till to- tnorrow; if you are to do a noble thing do it now J You may have to pay the price for standing by tight principles, but your work will shew the result. You do not sweeten your mouth by saying honey. You do not grow virtuous by talking of iVirtue. True love would rather wound itself by the loss of pleasure than hurt others by indulgence therein. Th«re are depths in man that go the length of low«.\si hell, as there are heights that reach I Jiigfeist heaven. There *are some people who keep their morality the pieoe: it is a stuff of which they never make themselves a coat. If thou seest anytning in thyself wtnch may toiake thee proud, look a little further, and thou ahalt find enough to humble thee. I It is to the credit of human nature that, ex- "Cept where its selfishness is brought into play, it loves more readily than it hates. The habit of viewing things cheerfully, and of ¡ thinking about life hopefully, may be made to fcrow up in us like any other habit. Great numbers of moderately good people think it fine to talk scandal; they regard it as a 1-eort of evidenoe of their own goodness. Few things are impossible in themselves. It is Hot so much means as perseverance that is want- tog to bring them to a successful issue. ¡ Failure, after long perseverance, is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.—GEORGE ELIOT. cv If you are in doubt," says Talleyrand, whether to write a letter or not—-don't." And the advice applies to many doubts in life besides j (that of letter-writing. I Cheerfulness unfolds, like spring, all the ^Bowers of the soul. Try, if only for one whole "day, to keep yourself composed and cheerful by booking clearly at and dismembering every small 'knnoyance. To-day is not yesterday; we ourselves change: %Ow can our works and thoughts, if they are to be always the fittest, continue always the same ? ^Phange indeed is painful, yet ever needful; and If n emory has its force and worth, so also has J ''OPE.—CABLYLE. > Often what seems discord to us is only the Ifreat chord the harmony requires, and from out I to-0 fretting notes grows the Divinest music. J We always get what we want really when we 1 **&nt it, not when we think we want it; that is 4 "%uite another affair. I THE TRUE PHILOSOPHER. '^1 The character of the true philosopher is to j j **°Pe all things not unreasonable. He who has | *660 obscurities which appeared impenetrable in Physical and mathematical science suddenly dia- lled, and the most barren and unpromising plds of inquiry converted, as if by inspiration, «*to rich and inexhaustible springs of knowledge rwwer, on a simple change of our. point of or by merely bringing theirt to bear on principle which it never occurred before try, will surely be the very last to acquiesce 10. any dispiriting prospects of either the present -Or the future de6tinies of mankind; while, on the 'Other hand, the boundless views of intellectual "nd moral as well as material relations which oPen on him on all hands in the course of these f Pursuits, the knowledge of the trivial place he Occupies in the scale of creation, and the sense ntJinually pressed upon him of his own weak- and incapacity to suspend or modify the lightest movement of the vast machinery he in action around him, must effectually con- ♦unoe him that humility of pretension, no less ?h»n confidence of hope, is what best becomes "••I* character.—SIB JOHN HEBSCHEL. WHEN THE HEART 18 TOUCHED. It is an exquisite and beautiful thing in our 'Mature that when the heart is touched and by some tranquil happiness or affection- ate feeling the memory of the dead oomes °ver most powerfully and irresistibly. It would as though our better thoughts and sym- ttathies were charms, in virtue of which the •?ul is enabled to hold some vague and myste- ^ous intercourse with the spirits of those whom '*E dearly loved in life.—DICKENS. LIVING BETTER THAN KNOWING. 'A truth known brings its own satisfaction, a truth lived brings its greatest reward. We jfc&y not stop with knowing, as that destroys the P^lance of human powers, and creates big- ije&ded, weak-handed, feeble-hearted beings, io *J>ow, to act, to be, are the right consequents knowledge. A life of thought only is not a "OOInplete human life. It lacks the heartiness of «feat sympathies and the efficiency of good acts. isolates a man from that grand fellowship "th his brother men which keeps him sane and Ireful. Even in literature, the great names are *«ose of men who lived close to some great j^ntre of human life, and kept in touch with feelings and its activities.

YSTRAD MEURIG. Success.—Friends of the school will be delighted to hear that an old pupil, the Rev T. B. Clarke, M.A., Ixmdon, Ontario, Canada, is steadily climbing the ladder ot eminence in the Western Colonial Church. He was a select preacher at a great mee-ting held in the Queen's Hall, London, on Tues- day, November 19th, under the auspices of the Colonial and Continental Church Society, to consider the needs of the Church of England in the Canadian West The "London Weekly Times" of the Friday fol- lowing observed that "the Rev. T. B. Clarke; of London, Ontario, after describing the great generosity of poor church members in Canada, said that the industrial develop- ment of the Dominion was filling the coffers of men in this country, who should send some of the money back to help in the spiritual development of Canada." Mr. Clarke is remembered "by his schoolfellows as an in- spiring leader in their games and social life, as well as in the noble art of Church Defence.—Comm.

-_-NEW QUAY,
NEW QUAY, LAUNCHING OF A NEW LIFE-BOAT. On Wednesday in last week an interesting function took place here, when a new life- boat was launched in the presence of a large number of spectators. The committee met at the Committee room early in the morn- ing, when the arrangements for the launch were discussed in the presence of Lieut. Rowley, R.N., who represented the parent Institution, who gave the boat to New Quay. The Christening ceremony was performed by Mrs. Longcroft, Llanina, at twelve o'clock.

In the course of his remarks he said that the boat was of the best extant, and he hoped the men would find out its worth. He also said that New Quay stood high as regarded its merits as a life-boat station, and had a very good name. Every thing during the last 17 years had been carried out excellently. Capt D. Rees has made an efficient secretary dur- ing this period. The choir then sang with great effect For those in peril on the sea. Following this the Rector read the dedica- tion service as arranged by the Bishop of St. David's. The service was very appropriate.

Davies, on behalf of the Committee, ten- dered the sincerest thanks of all to Mrs. Longcroft for her great kindness in corning to perform the function.

HOW TO RECOGNISE A1'.)) CHECK…
HOW TO RECOGNISE A1'.)) CHECK THE BEGINNINGS OF THROAT r\.1D CHEST DISEASE. Few people get through the winter without some throat or bronchial trouble. A great deal of suffering from chronic bronohitis pleurisy, pneumonia, and other serious lung troubles can be prevented by the prompt use of Peps, the wonderful medicine compressed into handy tablet form and sealed up in sil- ver paper. That slight huskiness which makes you clear the throat almost every time you speak, that tickling throat cough, the stuffiness in the chest in the early morning, and that ten- dency to catch cold in the chest, are all early symptoms of bronchitis. If neglected, or wrongly treated with ordinary medicines taken into the stomach, the disease inevit- ably gets a firmer grip on your system. The dry cough becomes more frequent, and as it gets deeper, causes you to cough up much phlegm. Pain, heat, and soreness in the throat, and a tendency .c to shortness of breath mark the progress off bronchial trouble, and at last the cough haunts you night and day, breaks your sleep, prints lines of care and anxiety on your face, and you begin to realise that you are a victim to chronic bronchitis. All this may be prevented by promptly treating that slight huskiness or that tickling throat cough with Peps, the breathe able medicine which goes straight to the lungs as the tablets dissolve on the tongue. At any and every stage of bronchial trouble, no better treatment can possibly be adopted than to take regularly this wonderful medi- cine in solid tablet form. As you breathe deeply of the medicinal fumes which arise a'n iC Peps tabIets dissolve on the tongue, all the breathing passages, from the throat to the furtherest recesses of the lungs are invigorated and soothed, coughing is allayed inflammation and irritation are subdued' torn tissues are healed, and breathing is made deep and easy. ° Free from the slightest trace of the opiates and sedatives which are commonly found in ordinary cough-mixtures and lozenges. Peps re suitable alike for young and old, and may be freely given to the frailest invalid or coughs, colds, and bronchitis, and all the throat and chest troubles so prevalent in winter. Peps are an unrivalled home remedy. Guard carefully against cheap substitutes, and note always that the short distinctive vrmiied in bold letters Qn the blue and gold wrapper of the box you buy, and stamped on every tablet. This is vour guarantee of purity, strength, and se- nfm nr i of- the distinctive Peps method. Of all chemists. method. Of all chemists.
. SHEEP DIPPING.
SHEEP DIPPING. JUSTICES' SYMPATHY WITH FARMERS. On Monday at Hackthorpe Police Cburt the Sheep-dipping Order, which from the hrst has been denounced by the Westmor- land farmers as unsuited to the circum- stances of the county, was criticised by farmers and magistrates alike. One of the defendants was Mr. John Darque, of Thorn- thwaite Hall, one of the largest tenants on the Earl of Lonsdale's estate: In another ^ase a man had salved instead of dipping his sheep, and the Order permits no alter- native to dipping. The defendants said he had salved sheep ever since he could hold one, and found it answered much better than dipping. It cost about three times as much to salve as to dip, and took a great deal longer. Captain Parkin: Have the Board ever considered the question ? The Defendant: I think they know noth- ing about it, or they would not have sent out this order.—(Laughter). The Chairman (Canon Burton): I am sure they would not. but we are obhgied to carry it out at present. I wish we could turn them out but we cannot. (Laughter). The defendant added that with heaf- going sheep it was very much safer to salve than to dip. The Bench expressed sympathy with the defendants, who had only the costs to pay. f Captain Parkin pointed out that the 're-' gulations were most. irksome to fell farmers, and on his suggestion it was decided to ask the Board of Agriculture to permit salving as an alternative to dipping.

4J l SCIENCE NOTES AND NEWS. LUTETIUM. Paris has not only witnessed the discovery of a. new chemical element, as haa often been the case before, but has now the distinction of giving her name to the discovery. It is a metal, and has been named lutetium by the discoverer, M. Urbain, who evolved it from nitrate ef ytterbium, detecting & difference of atomic weight between the two bodies equal to 169 and 174. Ytterbium is one of the rare earths which have already yielded actinium, polonium, and radium. j THE LIGHTNING OF VESUVIUS. Among the remarkable phenomena con- nected with the great eruption of Vesuvius in April, 1906, Professor Matteucci, in a re- port to the Italian Geological Society, men- tions the electric discharges in the huge column of smoke, gas, and steam that rose, swaying with the wind, thousands of feet above the crater. Many discharges took place between the column of smoke and thel earth, and these are described as having! been of extraordinary intensity. The greatest! measured height of the column during the I eruption was about 42,600ft., or, in round I numbers, eight miles. ( LIFE IN SEVERED HEADS. Every angler knows the extraordinary tenacity to life that is occasionally shewn by the severed head of a fish. An eel's head will afford an excellent illustration. Professor A. Kulabko, of TomskL well known for his re- searches on the resuscitation of the heart long after its apparent death, shewed a gathering of medical men recently a simple method of pouring what is known as Locke's fluid through the surviving head of a fieh, separated from the body and freely exposed to air. The brain of the fish seems to require a fair exchange of gases. The activity of the brain centres can be maintained for many hours, and, indeed, by this method can be re- stored after complete extinction. CANAL FORMED OF STEEL PLATES. A description is given in the Revue Mine- rallurgique of a canal for irrigation purposes, to serve a district between Assuan and Ed- pore in Egypt, bordered on one side by the Nile and on the other by the Desert. This is an absolutely waterless country, where no rain has fallen for a period of from 3,000 to 4,000 years, and in order to prevent percola- tion into the arid soil the main canal bring- ing the water, which is 1,750 yards in length, is formed of steel plates im. thick, riveted together. It is nearly semi-circular in sec- tion, the diameter of the circle being 23ft. As it has only to convey the water, and the water surface will not be used, it is tied across the top and also round the outside by T iron flanges, placed transversely to the axis, and spaced about 2ft. 6in. apart, with stiffening pieces fixed across the channel obliquely to the direction of the flow. It is stated that the ironwork was put together in situ, and entailed the use of 650,000 rivets. Provision has been made for expansion and contraction, and the total length is divided into seventeen sections with sliding joints in masonry chambers. IS FROZEN MEAT SAFE? Dr. Thomas, medical officer of health for Stepney, makes some important observations regarding frozen meat. Cold, he says, does not always kill the putrefactive germs. They possess an unusual resisting power against low temperatures, but this resistance does not in any way militate against the preservative effect of the cold. Though the germs are not destroyed by cold, the low temperature prevents their multiplication, and in this dormant condition the develop- ment of their action is prevented. When frozen meat is thawed and exposed on a hot day in the window or on a board in front ol a shop it soon becomes tainted, because the dorw I "GBESFS AGAIN BECOME ACTIVE, I and multiply. When tainted, the meat may either be canned or minced and converted into sausages. If intended for sausages a colouring matter is frequently added to give it a fresh appearance. Oxide of iron, or some of the aniline dyes, are used for this purpose. Spices and sweet herbs are also added that the tainted smell and taste are disguised, and it is impossible to state whether the meat is unfit to eat or not. Its consumption may be followed, Dr. Thomas rightly points out, by disastrous results. TIN IN THE STARS. Since Sir William and Lady Huggins, in the observatory at the back of their Tulse Hill residence, founded half a century ago the science of astrophysics by spectroscopic observation of the stars, the spectroscope has shewn us that many of the elements found on the earth are also present in the stars billions of miles away. Thus astrono- mers are able to identify in many of the stars such common terrestrial elements as sodium, magnesium, hydrogen, iron, and cal- cium. But only quite recently has the pre- sence of tin been suspected. Mr. Goatcher, one of the staff of the Royal Observatory at the Cape, examining spectrograms of the I bright red star Antares in Scorpio (" The Heart of the Scorpion"), found a discord- ance in the wave-length of a particular line in the spectrum, and after careful measure- ments he and his colleagues became con- vinced that the discrepancy could only be due to the presence of a tin line, the wave- length of which is, according to the most re- liable authorities, the same as that of the mysterious line in the spectrum of Antares. Should further investigation confirm the conclusions of the Cape astronomers this will be the first time that tin has ever been identified in the atmosphere of a star. LIGHT AS A HEALTH MAKER. Light starvation is one of the most serious afflictions of the human ras, says Mr. W. J. M'Gee, former President of the American Anthropological Association, writing in the New York Tribune. It is indeed the fruitful cause of a multitude of physical ills. Strange does it seem that the function of light as a maker of health should have been ignored to so great an extent. Its hygienic usefulness seems to be almost unrecognised to-day by the medical faculty. A physician sends his patients to the sea shore, and at the end of a few weeks they come back to town with a gratifying augmentation of health and vigour. The improvement is attributed to the incidental change of diet and scene. In a measure this idea is correct; but the truth is that exposure to light has been the chief* means of cure. Light is Nature's MOST IMPORTANT CURATIVE AGENCY. It is often said that there is nothing like plenty of fresh air and exercise to make people well and keep them so; but, while this is true enough, the benefit obtained is due mainly to the incidental exposure to unlimited light. A game of lawn tennis is a light bath; a row on the river is a light bath; a bath in the sea is at the same time & bath of light, which is one reason why it is so healthful. Young people at the seaside try their best, as they say, to get a coat of tan," for which purpose they expose themselves as much as possible to the sun- shIne; and when the tan has been acquired they exhibit it proudly as a sign of health. They do this without knowing the reason wh", because tan, which is the result of free exposure to a glare of light, is associated in everybody's mind with physical vigour and "feeling good." TRANSPLANTATION OF HAIR. Bignor Nardo has addressed a letter to the Academy of Padua on the subject of the growth of hair after death, and even after it separates from the body. The signor recounts the results of experiments made on his own person in the transplantation of hair, and re- fates that by transplanting quickly a hair with its root from a pore of the head into a pore of the chest, easily to be accomplished by widening the pore somewhat with the point of a needle, introducing the root with nicety, and exciting within the pore itself by friction, a slight degree of inflammation, the hair takes root, continues to vegetate, and grows; in one season changes colour, becomef white, and falls out. LIQUID CRYSTALS. It is now many years since the interesting discovery was made that certain liquid bodies may possess the optical properties of crystals. To these the term "liquid'crystals" has been applied. If the definition of a crystal as a body bounded by plane faces ol regular geometrical form be rigidly adhered to, these doubly refractive liquids could not rightly be so called. Since, however, they possess what may be regarded as the more essential properties of crystals, viz., their optical characters they may appropriately be classed with them. The Proceedings of the Royal Society" contains an account by Adams and Aschoff of some experiments on liquid crystals carried out by them. Their ob- servations were made on Myelin bodies, and potential fluid crystals. They find that the Myelin bodies often possess the property of double refraction. On account of this and other characters they must be regarded a& fluid sphero-crystals. It was also found that a number of substances of the nature of eoapa possess these properties. ANTIQUITY OF THE TSETSE FLY, If Professor Cockerell is right in his iden- tification, that troublesome pest, the tsetse fly. is of considerable antiquity. In the 1 Miocene shales of Florissant, Colorado, a fossil fly was found with a very long and strong proboscis, and on examining it Pro- fessor Cockerell concluded that it must be a tsetse. A further scrutiny, and a comparison with figures of flies of the genus Glossina, convinced him that if it could not be in- eluded in this group it was at any rate very nearly allied. A slight difference in the vena- tion of the wing was observed which may or may not be thought of sufficient value to justify the placing of this fly in a separate Senus. However this may be, the fossil is oubtless to be regarded as a tsetse fly of Miocene Age. Professor Cockerel! further identifies the fossil with the species of Oligo- cene Age described by Scudder in 1892. This fly was named Paloestrus oligooenus, and re- J ferred to the order jEstridae Combining these two results we may trace back the an- cestry of the tsetse fly to Oligocene times. At the present day the destructive nature of the tsettse is well known. DEW PONDS. In their book on Neolithic Dew-ponds and Cattle-ways." by Dr. A. J. Hubbard and Mr. George Hubbard, F.S.A. (Longmans), the authors state their conviction that the babitability of large desolate tracts of land in this planet depends to-day upon the adoption of some scientific modification of the prehistoric device which alone made life possible on the hill-tops to our neolithic an- cestors. It is maintained that over 1,000 sheep may be watered daily at one of these dew-ponds when it is in good working order, and that every morning finds it replenished. Consider, for instance, they say, the case of the three islands known as the Desertas. Their nearest point is about twelve miles from Madeira, and they are close together; the largest measures about ten miles by two miles. As their name implies, they are desert islands, on which we believe that RAIN NEVER FALLS. They are streamless and springless and un- inhabited, except by a few fishermen who live on the largest. These men live by water obtained by spreading out fleeces in the evening, and wringing the dew from them in the morning. If on one of the heights in the Desertas a dew-pond of good siao were constructed, a plentiful supply of water should be obtained from the moisture. laden atmosphere. Thus vegetation could be supported, and if quickly-growing trees could be nursed into existence, rain would be induced to fall, and a total change in tb. elimatic conditions would result. We fail to eee why the Desertas should not in time be- come as fertile as Madeira itself—one of the richest spots on the face of the globe.
