heart to throb violently 1 cmld not sweep a room or walk fifty feet without being ex hausted then i began taking dr wil liams pink pills and after taking only- six boxes i am as well and strong as ever i can walk and run without stop ping every few seconds gasping for breath as previously dr williams pink pills will be my standby in the future if ever my blood needs building up agalu and i shall always find plea sure in recommending them to anyone needing a tonic there are many troubles due to weak watery blood which can easily be overcome by a fair use of dr wil liams pink pills the sole mission of this medicine is to enrich and purify the blood and when that is done all jho varied symptoms of anaemia dis appear and good health returns you can got these pills through any dealer in medicine or by mail at 50 cents a box by writing the dr williams medi cine co brockville ont 6 sugar from sunlight how sugar forms in the beetroot sugar cane or maple tree has long been a mystery it is known that sunlight is necessary to enable plants to con vert the gases of the atmosphere into starch and sugar and recent success ful experiments by professor baly of liverpool who has produced sugar artificially are likely to open the way to important developments some time ago he noticed that if the strong light from an electric lamp such as is used in cinema studios was allowed to fall upon a streamof car bonic acid gas a certain amount of a wellknown disinfectant gas was pro duced which turned into sugar when dissolved in wtaer the quantity of sugar formed in this way was very small and it was found that the violet rays given off by the lamp contained light of differing wave lengths some of which assisted while others interfered with the formation of the sugar addition of ordinary powdered chalk to the water however neutralized this action and produced more sugar experiments were now conducted on a larger scale in a rectangular glass tank fifteen inches 6quare and eight inches deep with small holes in each side having found that the imitation sunlight gave the disinfectant gas pro fessor baly omitted thlsstep and filled the tank with a solution of the gas in water in the middle of the tank an electrically driven fan was fitted so that the powdored chalk which was then added was stirred vigorously lamps were inserted into each of the holes in the tank and light allowed to play on the solution after fourteen days continuous ex posure to the artificial sunlight a yield of 8 per cent of sugar was obtained and after the liquid had been purified and concentrated a very sweet syrup was left although the process is expensive it is expected that it will be cheapened in the near future so that the produc tion of artificial sugar in this way will become n valuable commercial proposi tion o why the ocean is blue that the sea should be colored blue on maps seems obvious it is claim ed however that the convention is not a hundred years old messrs
