The Easy Pill.

DeWitt's Little Early Risers do not
grippe nor weaken the system. They
cure biliousness, jaundice, constipation
and inactive livers by arousing the
secretions, moving the bowels gently
yet effectually, and giving such tone
and strength to the glands of the stom-
ach, liver and bowels that the cause
of the trouble is removed entirely.
These famous little pills exert decided
tonic effects upon the organs involved,
and if their use Is continued for few
DAYS there will be no return of the
trouble. DAWSON DRUG co.

INROADS OF THE SEA,
East Coast of England Defended
Against the Sea-

from the LONDON MILL
Striking evidence of the serious character
of the problem of defending the east coast
from the inroads of the sea is afforded by
the fact that at Lowestoft, where the cor
poration has already spent over $4,000 on
protective works, so much further damage
has been done recently that the outlay of
$4,000 is now required to carry out the
complete scheme of short defense.
OF late the sea has played havoc with
the defense works at Kirkley Slopes and
also at Pakefield There has been an ap-
probable growth Of beach between Lowe
stofts two southernmost piers, but the sea
has persistently encroached further south
and made two serious breaches In costly
sea wall at the base of Kirkley Slopes. One
of these breaches was 30 feet long and the
other 80 feet. The town council had lately
obtained sanction to eXpend 1000 in erect
ing four groyneS to protect this wall.
Some small groynes opposite the APP
proach to Rectory road have been twisted
into fantastic shapes or swept away. A
wooden revetment or breast wall built up
with faggots and bags of concrete has also
been demolished, and the coast line has
been eaten into sawlike resemblance
At Pakefeld the Lord Nelson Inn has
had to be taken down. as the cliffs had
vanished right up to it's foundations. Fur
lner on the piedSdht pathway HeAt the sea,
which was twenty feet wide, has been re-
duced to width of ten feet, and the whole
shore was strewn with the debris of con-
crete walls which had cost thousands Of
pounds to build.
One expert AYERS that by reason of the
soft nature Of the subsoil there is no hope
of preventing this erosion. but the town
council, which initiated the recent confer
ence of east coast authorities who have
appealed to the premier for imperial aid,
has not abandoned hope, and Is now in
consultation with an eminent engineer on
the subject. The most curious feature of
this wearing away of the coast is Its par
tial character. Yarmouth, less than ten
miles away, is not troubled with the prob
lem at all, and has a splendid beach, the
preservation of which is believed to be due
to its three piers retarding the drift of
sand and accommodating it on the beach.
Thousands of tons of sand and single are
carried from Yarmouth beach every year.

Weight of the Brain.
From the Scientific American.

From the Scientific American.
Professor. Marchand of Marburg pub
fishes the statistics of the largest number
of brain weights so far collected. His analy-
sis includes 1.169 cases. The average
weight of the brain at the birth of a male
child, according to Professor Marchand, is
800 grammes; of that of a female child 1853
grammes. He concludes that the lesser
weight of woman's brain is not alone de-
pendent on her smaller stature. for a COM
parison of both sexes of the same height
shows that the male brain is invariably
heavier. In growing child, until 1t
reaches a height of 20 centimeters, the
brain weight increases proportionately with
the body length, regardless of age or sex.
After this the male brain begins to outstrip
the female The maximum weight is at
tanned about the twentieth year, at which
age that of the male averages about 1,4OO
grammes. The female maximum is usually
reached about the seventeenth year, when
the average is 1875 grammes.

How Yeast Works.

From the Hospital.
The growth of the yeast plant is SO rapid
that its individual cells can be seen under
the microscope to spring up as buds upon
the parent cell and to grow to full size,
these presently to give off buds themselves
that expand in like manner. In the case of
the yeast plant the cells remain attached to
each other and thus form branches of elon-
gated cells fixed end to end. In other cases
the buds drop off, so that the plant never
takes any definite shape, but remains as
mass of free cells.
If a new cell be formed every minute by
each of the cells present, you may calcu-
late the number that will be produced in
an hour. Thus at the end of the first min
ute there will be two in two minutes
four in three minutes eight, and so on. In
five minutes there will be thirty-two; in
ten minutes the number will have increased
to ,O24 and in fifteen minutes there will be
80 1853 cells.
