Prof Victor Hallopeau of the Paris
Academy Of Medicine declares that
the best intellectual work can be ac-
compished between midnight and
dawn. The true secret of long con
tinued. valuable brain work, he says,
lis to cut the night In two. The
scholar, the inventor, the tinancier. the
literary creator should be asleep every
night at ten o'clock, to wake again at,
say two in the morning. Three hours
work, from two to five, in the absolute
tranquility of the silent hours, should
mean the revealing of new powers,
new possibilities, a wealth of ideas I'M
dreamed of under the prevailing sys-
tenn. From eight to eight or $3.50 sleep
again. Take up again the days work;
the brain will still be saturated with
the mental fruits of the night vigil;
there will be no effort in putting into
practice or carrying further what was
planned or begun those few hours be-
fore. The habit may be hard to ac-
quire, but mechanical means Of waking
at first will induce the predisposition."

Tobacco Smoke Poisonous.

1t is often said that tobacco smoke
is a powerful germicide. The COM
position OF tobacco smoke is complex,
the principal constituents being oils of
a tarry nature. Nicotine itself is a
strong germicide, but the quantity of
this poison In tobacco smoke is minute.
The oil matter which accumulates in
a tobacco pipe is highly poisonous, but
does not contain any appreciable guam
tity of nicotine, the chief constituent
of residue being very poisonous oil
known as pyridine. Tobacco smoke
contains a decided quantity OF carbon
monoxide, which is a preservative and
which must possess germicidal prop
critics. Recently it has been observed
that one of the principal constituents
accounting for the germlcidal prop
critics OF tobacco smoke Is the power
full antiseptic formaldehyde.
