1t has come at last Messrs. Fleury

just issued a book seriously asserting
that love is caused by microbes. Near

professors think that an antitoxin can
be found which will neutralize the mis-
chievous little germs so that anyone

hang round in the moonlight and do

legal TO catch the fish with rod anC

Had he eaten the salmon himself CT
given them to friends he would have
been within his proper rights, but as
he sold them the salmon were con
