NOTES AND COMMENTS Even at a meeting of scientific leaders "sensational" assaults are made these days on modern èduca- tional. systems. Not that men of science expect radical changes to be made in a day; not that they fail to realize that readjustment of education to new needs is necessarily necessarily a slow process. But even the scientist is human, arid when terribly terribly in earnest, his style may become become a trifle lurid. You Get Bilious I Because Your Liver is Lazy You get a bilious attack when your liver refuses to do its wor lc The bile does not flow. You "become constipated. Food sours instead of digesting. You have that "bitter as gall" taste.

"We teach what we shouldn't and leave untaught untaught what we should teach," was the general count. Special counts followed. We do not teach eex hygiene hygiene ; we do not emphasize character character building ; we fail to put common sense into education; we send too many men and women to college and not nearly enough of them into vocational schools. ©F ©AMJMBA TORONTO S AVINGS deposited in this bank draw the highest current rate of interest.

Yet any student of history, political and educational, educational, knows that our defective system represents wonderful progress when compared with the educational educational conditions of, say, twenty-five years ago. In Britain a verifable revolution has resulted' from the extension and improvement of elementary elementary education. Blit new conditions' conditions' <tnd new requirements have acutely presented certain educational educational problems, and it is for practical practical educators who know life outside outside of the schoolroom to work out solutions of these problems. There is, happily, much constructive activity activity along this line, and results cannot be long .in coming.

NO OTHER COMMERCIAL SCHOOL ever had truer ffieHÛs among its graduates graduates than the popular May Be Reduced by Half Through Use- of New Chronometer. "Captain, that computation represents represents a lot of mental labor." "Yes, it doe^, but there seems to be no way of avoiding it." "Could" the computation not be made mechanically by an instrument instrument for that purpose ?" "No, it could not. If you will come xlown into my cabin I will show yon the impossibility of constructing constructing an instrument for doing such work." - This' conversation took place aboard the steamship Columbia on i the 18th of July, 1901. Captain Peter Peter A. Doran and Horace S. Butterfield, Butterfield, of Portland, Ore., were the parties, to it. The captain had stopped the vessel to "swing -ship," a process by which the deviation of a vessel's compass is determined. Thé operation had taken two hours, and Mr. Butterfield, ia manufacturing manufacturing watchmaker and jeweller, had been an interested spectator. Further Further conversation in thé cabin laid the foundation for the invention- of an azimuth chronometer, the greatest greatest device of the age for the benefit of "those who go down to the sea in ships." Ten years later the finished result result was achieved- in an -instrument that is fundamentally new, both as to the results obtained and the mechanism involved. It secures immediately and automatically results results which have heretofore been possible only after long and complicated complicated mental labor. Among them are the following determinations : (1) The position of a ship at sea may be found, or the latitude and longitude of any spot on the surface surface of the earth determined. (2) The true directions may be determined determined independently of the compass, compass, and compass errors detected and corrected. (3) local time may be accurately determined. (4) These determinations may be made at any moment of the day or night when the s»n or a known star is visible, even though the period of visibility is A 7 ery short. The big value of the chronometer lies in the fact that it provides a way of overcoming the "moods" and changes to which a ship's compass compass is subject. Since all vessels are dependent upon the compass for keeping their course, it is. necessary necessary that frequent observations be taken in order to ascertain its variations. variations. These observations require certain favorable conditions, and involve calculations that would make a professor of mathematics shudder. . They also involve frequent frequent delays -when cloudy skies make sun and stars invisible. Besides Besides eliminating these delays, the new chronometer, through keeping vessels in their course, will reduce the sea's toll of lives by half. **.-- To New Customers ArS-' ELECTRIC CURRENT from Now to end of 1913 FREE.

A doctor in an asylum at Nantes has discovered among his patients a "lightning calculator," who, although although he can scarcely read and cannot write, solves mental arithmetic arithmetic problems involving large numbers. Asked "How many seconds are there in 39 years, 3 months, and 12 hours?" he gave the correct answer in 32 seconds. Explaining how he calculated the number of seconds in 30 years, he said : "I know by heart that there are 31.536.000 seconds in a year. I multiply multiply 30,000,000 by 30* That gives me 900,000,000. Then I multiply 1,- 500.000 by 30 and get 45,000,000 ; 30,- 000 by 30, which gives 900,000 ; and ! 6,000 by 30, giving 180,000. I add ! all these products and get 946,030,- 000 seconds in 30 years." This answer answer was given in 14 seconds.
