HE rRAelNa oE SUICIDE.
Believed That Unsuitabie Diet Has nn
 IniurIous Fffeet.

Believed That Bnsuitab1e Diet Has nn
 Injurious Fffeet.
 Dr. 1Iaig Is of the opinion that sui- eide may be traced to error in diet, the error being the eating of meat, the drinking of beer and of tea and the smoking of tobacco. His facts all fall comfortably into their places in sup port of hfs hypothesis. Are there not more suicides among men than among women, and do not men consume more meat, more beer and more tobacco than the women? Again, suicide is more common in England than ln Scotland, not apparently because the Scotch are 8 more canny race, but be- cause the English eat more meat and drink more beer, while the Scotch eat less meat and drink whisky instead of beer. After maintaining that suicide was less common among the Scotch, It was perhaps hardly polite, when ad- dressing a Scotch audience, to go on to say that suicide increased with ciyiliza- ton. But the fact was explained on the ground Of more injurious diet, that of civilized man being more productive of uric acid and thus of suicide than that which prevails where civilization is less advanced. Uric acid is, in fact, at the bottom of all this, and, accord- ing to Dr. Haig. the incidence of sui eide tallies with the daily, annual and life fluctuations of uric acid in the blood, being commonest when uric acid is most abundant, namely, in the morn ings, in spring and summer and in childhood and the full prime of life.
 We have no doubt that errors of diet are responsible for much, and, among other things, for a certain number of suicides; nay, we would go further and admit that unsuitable diet, derange- ment of the proper relation between nutrition and waste and the conse- quent loading of the tissues and the blood with abnormal products of me- tabolism have much to do with that ill-temper and discomfort which lead men to lay their hands violently upon their neighbors and sometimes on themselves. All this may be taken for granted, but it is at present far from proved that the peccant material is in all cases the same, and still further are we from being agreed that uric acid is the origin of the evil.

To,verea snneratItio1a.

Students of architecture have often wondered why the two towers of Notre Dame are not of equal size. though they appear so to the casual observer. A writer in one of the recent English magazines has found the explanation, which is rather curious. It appears that when the cathedral was built the cathedral of a suffragan bishop was not entitled to two towers of equal size, and for centuries the bishop of Paris was suffragan to the bishop of Sens.
