Experiments with TobaSco Smoke Made
by a Famous Scientist.
The experiments of V. Gassinart will
rejoice the hearts of many smokers.
He cemented together by their wide
mouths two glass tunnels so as to form
a cigar-holder with a large chamber in
the middle. In this chamber was sus-
pended from a loop of platinum asmall
piece of linen. At one end of this
cigar holder was a plug of cotton wool
acting as a smoke filter. A cigar was
placed in the other end, lighted and
smoked secundasm artene, the mouth
of the smoker being attached to the
iltering end. By this arrange
ment the piece of linen was sur
rounded by a dense cloud of tobacco
smoke. At the end of half an hour,
during which three and q half to four
grammes (about one-eighth OF an
ounce) of tobacco was smoked, the
chamber was opened and the linen al
lowed to fall into a test tube contain
ing fluid gelatine in which were plant
ed colonies of seven varieties of patho-
genie microbia. including those of chol-
era, anthrax Chicken cholera), and
pneumonia. In every instance there
was a marked delay in the development
of these colonies as compared with
occurred in similar test tubes
charged with the sam9 but not ex-
| posed to tobacco smoke; the develop
ment of some was entirely prevented
by the smoke. The special constitu-
ent of the smoke that has this
effect is to be the subject of further
investigation. / venture to suggest
a practical application. There is little
doubt that contagious diseases are in
these days frequently communicated
by the aid of railway carriages, espe-
cially frst-class carriages, seeing that
their cushions and padding supply
nurseries for microbia, and that in
valids usually travel by first-class, even
those who would take third-class if in
full health. Therefore, at times when
dangerous infection prevails, those who
are liable to such infection should
select smoking carriages, the cloth lin
ings e.s which have been subjected to a
treatment similar to that OF the piece
of linen suspended in Signor Tassinari's
experimental smoking compartment

store and see outside a job lot of books.
You can pay a quarter and take your
choice. As a rule these are books that
have not passed examination. They
are more valuable in a paper mill than
in any other place. The ink is an 1b-

Some time ought to be given to novels.

AN HISTORICAL CENTER.
the Lincoln Cathedral Chapter House of
h Thirteenth Century.

rhe Lincoln Cathedral Chapter House of
the Thirteenth Century.
The chapter house of Lincoln Cathe-
dral is one of the grandest works of
the thirteenth century. No part OF
the cathedral is more full of stirring
historical "reminiscences. Here, in
the DAYS when Parliaments were
migratory, several Parliaments were
held by Edward l. and his two sue
eessors. Of these the most remarka-
BILE was that of Edward I. in 1901, by
which the Great Charter and the other
charters on which the liberties of the
subjects rested, were confirmed, and
the claim of the powerful and ambi-
tious Boniface VIII, as Supreme Lord
of Scotland, to arbitrate between the
two countries, was firmly resisted, and
the political independence of England
and England's King of the See of Rome
was unhesitatingly asserted. Another
Parliament held here by Edward rs
degenerate son, in 1916, was disgraced
by a squabble between Sir John
de Ros and the Kings unworthy
minion, Dispenser, who, regard
less of the sacredness of the place,
| struck the former a blow with his fist,
drawing blood. Here, too, in 1910
was held the trial ofe the Knights

evidence, though utterly worthless,
was sufficient to secure a verdict of

preston of that once powerful body.

plars suffered death, their only pun
| ishment being an honorable imprison-
ment in various monastic houses.

a WEDDING PRESENT.

Marks Of Truth
A friend of mine al married some

who, on such occasions, sends you an
ornate wedding card in three envelopes
and a tissue wrapper.

thing, but neglected it until the we'd

gratulatory lines, such as are used in
the best society, and consequently in

THEIR NEW GAS MAIN.
The Philadelphia Gompauy's 36-Inch Line
Being Completed.

The Philadelphia Compuny's 36-Inch Line
Being Completed.
The officials of the Philadelphia Company
expect to have their new S6-lnch line from
Telford to Niblock, a distance of about ~
miles, completed between the 1st and 9Th OF
next month. When the line is finished it
will have greater capacity than all the
other lines in the field put together. The
company is laying about 500 feet per day.
and about one-third of the lire is down.
When the small lines are turned into the
large 36-inch main there will be more than
a sufficient quantity of gas for consumers.
1t is expected that the howl about shortage
of gas will cease in consequence this winter.
An official of the company stated yester-
day that the complaint among iron manu-
facturers and other consumers about
shortage of gas was wrong, and the short
supply was the fault of the consumers them
selves. When the 36-inch main is in opera
tion the same trouble will be experienced
unless the consumers change their pipes.
When the company increases the size OF
their pipes the mills must do likewise. Some
time ago one mill in this city ordered the
gas shut off after laying their own pipe line.
They had been asked to enlarge their pipes,
and refused. They put in their own gas,
but found in the end that they would have
to repipe the mill. This was done and
there was no further trouble about a short
supply
