EPSTEIN’S WORK.

ANOTHER CONTROVERSY AROUSED. Epsteins statue “Genesis” CeHPsed a fresh outburst of indignation when a reproduction of it was included (to signify the unborn generation) in a composite picture for the dust cover of Ritchie Calder’s book, “Birth of the Future.” The publishers were inundated with letters of protest from scientists, including Lord Rutherford. Booksellers refused to display the book. Eventually Mr H. G. WMIs came to the rescue. He gave a dinner m -Ur Calder’s honour, a.nd asked the guests their opinion of the dust cover, which was condemned almost unanimously. Mr Wells then wrote a short appreciation of the author, which the publishers accepted, in lieu of the design. Epstein, who was the only person not consulted, says : “It seems rather old-fashioned, does it not?”

DEFENDING NEW ZEALAND

Down near the water’s edge at the Lyttelton Harbour are a number of old useless fortifications. The effectiveness of these old forts ended with the coming of the modern battle cruisers with their long range guns, and heavily-armoured hulls low down in the water.

The old forts, however afforded use, ful means of defence when ships of war were built high out of the water making possible a direct hit from a low position. Deep down in a good many chests, especially these wintry days, there are nasty colds —just as dangerous as enemy men-of-war, but there is a famous old fortification that cannot go out of date, namely, Baxter’s Lung Preserver. “Baxter’s” is your best defence against attacks from all kinds of colds and bronchial ailments. “Baxter’s” not only clears the air passages and dispels germs but fortifies the system and increases resistance to further attacks. Pin your faith to “Baxter’s,” it will never let you down. Every chemist and storekeeper in New Zealand sells “Baxter’s” in three popular sizes. Is 6d, 2s 6d, and the extra large economy family bottle at 4s 6d.—Aavt.
