Forsenteriug Table Bay BY night. by tho
plan constructed on the observations
made by H. Nj. ship, Leven,
November, 1925. ,4.
The bearings mentioned in these lnsiruc-
tons are all by compass or magnetic.
lst' To enter Table Bay from tho
nouhward, meaning topass outside Of
Robben Island, ship should keep the
light to the eastward Of south, degrees
east, or about south, and by east, until
she gets soundings under 90 falhoms, at
a little more than q mile from the Light
House, she NAV steer east southeast, or
by east ana by south, not to come under
10 or l2 lathoms until the light bear west
south west, she may then steer for the
anchorage, and may anchcr in from to
6 Inthoms, as soon as the lights are shut
ting in behind the Lions TniI. This
track leads about mile clear OF Danger
on Green Point, but a ship need not ap-
proach il 50 near, is she have, by seeing
Robben Island, oscertained by~ms bear
ings, that she is clear of tbe whale
rock, in which case she may round
it at greater distance from Green, Point
if desirable, but the soundings in that
case will not alone be a sure guide.
lst. In coming from the southwest
ship should not get less than 40 faith
oms before the light bears southeast, or
east south east, nor lees than 90 faith
oms before it bears, south and by east,
when the preceding directions may DO
followed. rI,. - ~.
From the north ward-inslde Of Robben
Island-the light should be kept about
Southwest and by south, until ship hove
passed that island in doing which she
may have some casts from 8to 9 fathoms;
aud when on that course the water dee
pens TO IL or l2 fathoms, she may steer
Tor the anchorage by the plan as before
stated. ,4e
In beating round Green Point ship
should never shoal her water under
IL or l2 fa,homs until she have brought
the light to bear west southwest ,as before
stated. tNil
In beating down between Robben Is-
land and the Main, to enter Table Boy,
the soundogs may be taken from the is-
land as It ,shoaIs to very regularly. In
standing towards the Nam, il appears
prudent to tack at the first Gust Of the lead
aiter the water shoalens '.H 'at
10 these directions il 10 taken FOR grant
I'd that ship will always keep her leads
going t.r ins

The decay Of the Bultonwood Trees
throughout the country, has excited gen
eral curiosity and regret. The National
Esis makes the following ingenious sug-
geslion:
"We will throw oot one suggestion as
to the cause Of this decay. The public
will Judge OF il and give to il that lmPor-
lance, which, upon consideration, It may
be thought entitled TO. While looking into
a work on natural history, TO see whether
the tree is subject TO any such descase as
now appear 10 be upon it, we learnt
something Of it, origin, and something
OF the mode by which j, was formerly
cultivated. 1t is a Dative Of the East,
and is supposed TO be species Of the
palm tree. II was brought 10 Europe by
the Greeks, who, according 10 Piny,
'watered It with vine Our suggestion
is, whethe. il may not have been affected
by the great temperance reformation.

Cure for a Cancer. A lady who for
several years had been afflicted with a
cancer, all over hes breast and stomach,
and during that period under the treat.
mcnt of physicians, without deriving any
benefit was advised to.try the effect OF a
poutice of what is termed carrot dock, a
small long-leaved variety which grows
with long small roots and also TO drink
q tea made of 1t. TO be swee,ened with the
syrup Of sarsaparilla. She did so and in
a very short time the whole snrface AZ
fected with the cancesous ulcer, assumed
an appearance indicative Of healing, ex-
cept small deep spot on tie ribs oi her
left side, and in few weeks was, with
that exception, covered with skin, having
before that, for a long time, been in a
cond,liod'o the most painful exoriation.
In abo u, two months alter, all the
rest Of the cancer was healed over, and
TO aiI appearance well /; in taking off the
poultice from the deep spot alluded to
above, the core came out, accompanied
by a report similar 10 that nude by the
unco,hing Of bottle Of porter. From
this period. but few weeks elapsed be-
fore that part also was healed over. IL
has now been two years since the cure
was effected, and no symptoms us yet
have occurred, TO justify apprehension oI
the return Of the cancer. The tea from
the dock was conlianed for some time al
terward. ''
"We know two varieties Of small leaved
dock, the one has short tap root, with
,Dany lateral ones, the other o long s'en-
der one without lateraIs-this latter kiud
ia tho one to be used. II Plymouth Me-.
