Warning.—Notice is hereby given that I-intend making it warm for all persons taking Woods’ Cheat Peppermint Core this winter—so warm .that it will not alkrtv any cold to come in, and if a cold is there it will soon drive it out. ' Coughs and colds will soon bej a thing of the past, if people keep a bottle of Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure always in the house. 11 , The death-rate of the sailors in the mercantile 1 marine is'l2 per 1000—lower than on land. A company has been formed to nm 40TO cabs in London at a charge of 6d for any 1 , distance up to a mile. In scene cabs the' taximeter is to be in operation. By consulting its disc at the end of a journev cos hirer of the-cab will be able to ascertain the distance traversed and the amount of tho fare.
It takes from SOsec to TSsec, as a tefc, to fire one of the 46-ton guns mounted on. our modem battleships, although it is more often nearer 50 than 75. Once the gun is trained on. the enemy, it is possible to fire three shots in 107 sec, as was recently done in the Illustrious, but this is about the record.
