The question Of the regular tropical ra-

board, and its conclusions, together with
the recommendations OF Comnissary Gen

says:
THE recommendation that the fresh

was so opposed to all the teachings of ex-

influenza Caused hy 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 eyi-
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
~ due to the abundant ozone in the air.
BY inquiry it 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 1t 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-

One of Lambs Franks.

A pretentious poet got his verses sub
mitted to Charles Lamb by 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 /
wrote when was young and then he
quoted 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
him.
Lamb capped all by introducing the
first lines Of paradise Lost" COZ
mans first disobedience," etc., as also
written by himself. which brought the
poet to his feet. bursting with rage. He
said he had sat by and allowed las own
little verses to be appropriated with
out protest. but when be saw Milton
also being pilfered from he could sit
silent no longer. Lamb reveled in tell
ing this story.-Rev. David Macrae in
