Influenza Cnused by Ozone.

On one occasion the writer walked to
the edge of Lake Michigan when a
strong wind was blowing right from
the lake. The bodily condition was as
near perfect as could be, and yet In less
than five minutes there was every evil
dence of having caught cold. The Sc
we're influenza continued until, ON walk
ing away, in less than 500 feet it dis
appeared as If by magic.
1t Is very certain that the tempera-
ture had nothing to do with this nor
the wind, but the influenza was direct
ly due to the abundant ozone in the air.
BY inquiry 1t was learned that hun
dreds of residents who had lived upon
the immediate edge of the lake had
been obliged to move back three or
four miles in order to relieve them
selves from such experiences.
Physicians readily admit that it Is
not always possible to say when one
catches" cold. 1t certainly cannot
always be because of undue exposure
or change in temperature, but probably
also to changes In the electric condi-
ton of the air. Facts of this kind
should lead to the EXTREMIST caution in
studying any supposed relation be-
tween the weather and health.-Popu-

A pretentiOus poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by a friend
just before the poet was to meet Lamb
at dinner. Lamb found the verses to
be feeble echoes Of other poets, and
when the author arrived he was seen
to be as empty as his verses. This
awakened Lambs spirit of mischie-
vous waggery. At dinner he said in the
course of conversations:
THAT reminds me of some verses l
wrote when was young" and then he
quoted a line or two which he recol-
lected from the poets book, to the lat
ter's amaZement and Indignation. Lamb
was diverted immensely. but kept per-
fectly serious and quoted more lines in
connection with another remark, beg
ging the company to remember how
young he was when he composed them.
The author again looked daggers at
