Thousand.Year Radium Clock.

The radium clock described some
months ago by the Hon. r. j. Strut is
now manufactured by a London chem
ist. 1t consists essentially of a small
glass tube in which a twelfth of grain
of radium is supported by rod of
quartz in an exhausted glass vessel.
the lower end of the tube containing
an electroscope of two aluminium films.
Treatment with phosphoric acid rem
ders the surface of the glass conduc-
tive. The positive charge received
from the radium expands the leaves of
the elecroscope until they touch the
sides of the tube. when they are dis
charged to earth and the leaves fall to-
gether. This is repeated at intervals
of one minute, the estimate being that
action will continue several thousand
years.

NO MAN Is STRONGER THAN
HIS STOMACH.

Let the greatest athlete have dyspepsia
and his muscles would soon fail. Physi-
cal strength is derived from food. II
man has insufficient food he loses strength.
II he has no food he dies. Food is con-
verted into nutrition through the stom-
ach and bowels. 1t depends on the
strength OF the stomach to what extent
food eaten is digested and assimilated.
Peonle can die of starvation who have
abundant food to eat, when the stomach
and It's associate organs of digestion and
nutrition do not perform their duty.
Thus the stomach Is really the vital Or
gan of the body. II the stomach is weak"
the body will be weak also, because 1t is
upon the stomach the body relies for Its
strength. And as the body, considered as
a whole, Is made up of Its several MEM
bers and organs, so .he weakness OF the
body as n consequence of "weak" stom-
ach will be distributed among the or
gans which compose the body. IL tho
body Is weak because 1t Is ill-nourished
that physical weakness will be found in
all the organs-heart, liver. kidneys, etc.
The liver will be torpid and inactive,
giving rise to biliousness loss OF appetite
weak nerves, feeble or irregular action OF
heart, palpitation, dizziness, headache,
backache and kindred disturbances and
weaknesses.

Another feature that will add In.

making this generally known, those
persons who contemplate visiting
