Story of Lord Asmstrong.

"UNCANNY SHOCK»' THAT LED TO A GREAT DISCOVERY.

Principal Gumey, of the Butham College of Science, gave a lecture recently on Lord Armstrong. The invention that made Lord Armstrong famous, said Dr Garney, was hia hydro-electric machine. This is how it came about:— In 1840 the high pressure boiler at Cramllngton Colliery was defective, and while William Patterson, who was in charge, was endeav ouring to adjust the safety valve witb one hand, the other came In contact with tha leaking eteam, and he received what he described as an * uncanny shock.* The cause of the shook remained a mystery for some time, and many heads puzzled over it- The first man to solve the problem" was William George Armstrong, his hydro electrlo machine being practical demons tration of the success of his research. Dr Gumey told how the famous Tyneelde genius invented his hydraulic machinery, which provided motive power for printing machines, lead mining machinery, colliery winding engines, and cranes for railway purposes. Lord Armstrong war the first to substitute for the old fashioned round cannon balls the elongated projectiles. It was after the battle, of Inkerman in 1854 that Lord Atmstrong invented his famous ordnance on the rifle bore principle, that with which his name is inseparably connected. At that time Lord Armstrong lived at Jesmond Dene House, and he tested hia new invention by firing at a haystack. An amusing story is associated with these early tests. A projectile stuck in the bore, and could not be discharged until an exceptionally large quantity of powder was used. Then the shot charged right through the haystack and disappeared down the Dene. Whab harm it might have wrought on its way alarmed the in ventor, and he sent his assistant to investigate. Some tima afterwards bis friend, accompanied by m excited woman, appeared. ' Ay, he's deed \ he's deed !' said the woman. Visions of Police Court proceedings and a probable charge of manslaughter floated before the imagina tion of the anxious Inventor. ' It's all right,' said the assistant to Mr Armstrong, as he then was, • your dog has only worried a sheep to death.' After this, said Dr Gurney, Mr Armstrong tested Ilia ordnance at Allenheade.

The Race

It does nob depend on the start, but on the finish. It's Btaylog power whioh carries many a runner to victory. It'B like that in business. Many a man starts off in the race for business success with a burst of speed whioh seems to assure victory, Presently he begins to falter, and ab last he falls and fails* The cause? Generally 'Stomach Trouble.' No man is stronger than hia stomach. Business haste leads bo careless and Irregular eating. The stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition beoome diseased j the body is nob fully nourished, and so grows weak. Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills cure disease of the stomach and other organs of digestion and nutrition. Ttey strengthen the stomaoh, and so strengthen the whole body, whioh depends on the stomaoh for the nourishment from whioh strength is made j they cleanße the clogged liver, and strengthen the kidneys. There is no medicine ' josb as good' for diseases of the stomaoh and allied organs. «I have been a great sufferer fdr some time from indigestion ani biliousness, for wbioh I tried many remedies, bub received no benefib from any of them until I used i your Dr Morse's Indian Root Pills,' writss Mr S Cole, Woodend, Viotoria< * I commenced their use by taking them aocordiog to directions, and after taking three doHet, found they bad made a great difference in my health. I continued their use, and used a few bottles, and I can honestly say they have cured me of indigestion and biliousness. Since using these pills, I have recom mended them—and even given them— to man, and the results have always been good. You have my permission to use this letter for the benefit of others. Dt Morse's Indian Root Pills are a perfect blood purifier, and a positive cure for biliousness, indigestion, constipation, head aches, sallow complexion, liver and kidney troubles, piles, pimples, boils and blotches and female ailmentß. Sold by chemists and etorekeepers, price Is l}d per bottle, or six bottles 6b 6d, or same will be mailed, post paid, upon receipt of price.
