Medical Advertising in Japan.

In future no licensed medical prac-
toner will be permitted to advertise
in Japan details of methods of medical
treatment or the history or success of
such methods. Doctors and dentists
connected with hospitals or engaging
in general practice will not be allowed
to advertise any information beyond
that indicating their degrees and spe-
cialties In this respect the ordinance
approximates perhaps more to the
American idea of what is legitimate,
for it is quite common to find in trans
atlantic journals small rectangular
spaces containing the name, address
and telephone number of some prac-
titioner, with an indication of the
branch or branches of work in which
he claims to be especially adept and
instructed.

Showino Value of Forests.

A most striking example of the
Transforming effect of forests, not
only on the appearance. but on the
productivity of a country, is afforded
by the department of the Landes in
France. At the close of the eight
eenth century about 100000 acres in
that region were little more than
shifting sand dunes and disease-breed-
ing marshes. At present the same
lands are among the richest, most pro-
ductive and healthful in France, and
the change has been brought about by
intelligent cultivation of pine forests.
Even the character Of the climate Of
the region has been ameliorated and
it has become mild End balmy A thin
layer of clay beneath the sandy upper
surface soil, formerly impervious to
water, has been pierced by the pine
roots until a thorough drainage is
established to the spongy earth below

A Ludicrous Experiment.

Holmes was one of the many emil

solve the riddle of the universe. In
his case the result was ludicrous.
From the sublime thoughts that came
to him while under the influence Of
chloroform he thought he might ar
rive at some solution. Placing him.
self in his armchair, with pen, ink
and paper at hand, he inhaled the an
aesthetic. As drowsiness stole over
him the nature of things seemed re-
vealed. By vigorous effort he seized
his pen and wrote-he knew not what,
for before he had finished he fell back
unconscious. When he recovered he
turned with trembling anxiety to the
sheet of paper, on which, written in
scrawling characters but quite legible,
he found the awful revelation: "A
strong smell of turpentine pervades
the Whole!"
