Sir Robert Ball, to whom birthday greetings fell due recently, is still at seventy-three one of the.most juvenile of living savants. As all who have attended his delightful lectures will remember (says tlfe Westminster Gazette), he dearly loves a joke; but he once met his match when dining with some fellow-scientists at Stratford. "Madame," he said to the landlady when she presented her bill, "I am going to give you a lesson in astronomy. In 25,000,000 years all things must return to their original condition. We, shall all be here again eating a dinner precisely identical. Will you give us credit until we 00-ne back?" "Well," replied the landlady, "you were here 25,000,000 years ago, and you left without paying the bill then. Settle that account, and I will trust you for what you have had to-day." FOUND IT MOST EFFECTIVE. "When my son Willie was ill with medicines without effect," writes Mrs W. Joyner, Or. Beattie and Elliott Streets, Balmain, N.S.W. "Seeing an advertisement on Chamberlain's Cough Eemedy I decided to try it and the effect was really splendid. I have also found it most effective for the other members of my family."
