There have been numerous attempts
IN America TO enact legislation against
the sale Of cigarettes; in fact. says the
Boston Globe, Il is Illegal to sell
cigarettes to those under Is years Of
age In our own state. What would these
anti-eigarette agitators say to Sunday
school teacher who offered presents Of
cigarettes as an inducement for boys
to attend his class? According to one
Of the London papers. at All Saints
church. Wellington, In Somerset, the
practice Of giving cigarettes to members
Of the Bible class was started. II was
reported that this distribution Of
cigarettes increased the attendance Of
the Bible class nearly 100 per cent The
experiment has stirred up q great deal
Of criticism, however, and the vicar
denies that he had any knowledge Of
the matter, Il having been an expert
ment made by Mr.. WiImont, the teach
er Of the Bible class. While the boys in
this class. as q rule. were over Is years
Of age. there were number Of them
who were not allowed 70 smoke, and the
parents Of these boys naturally serious
" object to this new scheme Of securing
better attendance in the Bible class.

A puzzling fact is that the walls Of
the intestines and the parasites often
living on them are never digested by
the ferments that attack, destroy and
transform the food. Frenzel, in 1891,
suggested that protective ani-fermentz
are secreted By living tissues. In
some late experiments n. Weinland, &
French psychologist, sought to digest
hbrine In trypsine or pepsin after first
adding a little Juice from intestinal
worms, but the ferment had no eiect
upon the hbrine In the presence Of the
anti-ferment Juice. Il is thus proTen
that the juice secreted BY and impreg-
Mating living tissues-lnstead Of the
tissues themselTes-resist digestion.
The anti-fermsnt extract Is exceeding
Iy powerful and retains its resisting
power for months, but 1t loses its prop
erty on boiling.

The question of storing coal for feets
has assumed such importancs that ths
experiments made IL England 70 over

GtoWage possess q definite interest,
says the New York Herald. Il Is
claimed that coal kept IN free air quick
" loses between 10 and 20 per cent Of
St. steaming power. while coal deposited
under water In prepared basins suffers
but little loss. In the experiments un-
dsrtaksn at the suggestion Of the ad-
miraIty coal that had been submerged
from three to ten years Ct the Alexandra
docks, Newport, and other specimens
that had driftsd from wrecks into the
River Usk were submitted TO q eOmpar-

that the Uzk coal stood first and the
Alexandra dock second. both BY sur

Our experience In the Philippines,
where the conditions are especially Sc

there Is such sensible loss in eneieney
that the new idea seems worth 8 careful
