admitted having taken this when | saw

About Ozone.

Many people talk about ozone with.
out so much aA knowing what ozone Is.
There is a prevalent idea that it is
something you get at the sea and that
1t is good for the lungs. What that
something is, however, few people have
sufficient curiosity to inquire. Ozone is
what chemists call an allotrOpic form
of oXygen-that is to say, it is oxygen
highly active and concentrated con-
dition. In ordinary pure air ozone eX-
lists, but only in what chemists call
traces" Larger amounts are found in
ocean and mountain air 1t instantly
disappears when brought in contact
with decaying matter, dissipating it.
self, as it were, in the act Of oXidizing
that matter.
Ozone is known to occur more plenti-
fully during thunderstorms, and we
have, of course, the analogy of it's be-
ing artifcially produced from oxygen
by electrical discharges in the labora-
tory. On the body ozone is believed to
act as a stimulant; hence the popular
notion of its beneficial effects as eXpe-
rienced by the sea, but in any greater
amount than mere traces it is a violent
irritant. One authority goes the length
of asserting that it is doubtful whether
it is beneficial to animal life at all.

The interment was at Barnet Centre. Mr.
HASTE was a consistent member OF the
PRESBYTERIAN church at West Barnet
uniting with it soon after coming to this
country. He was highly esteemed by all
who knew him; pious, devOut sincere
speaking i'll Of none but loving all. He
will be missed in the community, in the
church, and most of all, by those who so
tenderly cared for him during his illness,
and from whose home a husband and
father has gone. His illness was severe,
but his death was that of the Christian
As the Sabbath OF Dec. was passing
away the spirit of the deceased took its
departure, entering, We believe, into that
rest which remaineth for the people Of
God. In the words that Cowper ad
dressed to his dead mothers portrait,
may each member Of the family express
their hope and wish,
Where thou art gone
Adeus and farewells are sound unknown
May but meet thee on that peaceful shore.
The parting word shall pass my lips no more"

When "PIuck" Was Slang.

and courageous" An entry in Sir
Walter Scott's Journal shows that in
1927 the word had not yet lost it's low
character. He says volume 2, page
30, want of that article blackguard-

From early times the heart has been
popularity regarded as the seat of cour-

the heart, cuts through the windpipe
and then plucks out together the united
heart and lungs-lights, he calls them
