Pine oil and pine cones are now being
imported from Norway, to be sold as
disinfectant against a possible cholera
scare this summer. The cone is placed
in the mouth of sort of lamp, and
the latter contains the oil. \ wick

is sufficiently porous to permit the odor
of the oil to escape. Pine oil is much
used in Italy as disinfectant in cases
| of Roman fever. Its penetrating odor
is unpleasant to many persons, though
some learn to like it.
