A London specialist has been giving
his views on smoking to the Daily Mail.
This authority declares that the cigar
ct, IL the smoke Is not inhaled, is the
least harmful way OF smoking, but il
the smoke Is inhaled 1t is the most
rabid form OF heart poisoning you can
get. 1t will affect a young mans heart
quicker than cigar or pipe smoking az
fects a man between So and SIS, at
which age a man is affected more by
smoking than at any other. And the
better the cigars the more likely 1t Is
that harm will be done. Therefore,
smoke cabbage; the Havana cigars are
worse than any others"

Queer Notions About the Stormy Pet.

The stormy petrol. alias Mother
ca or (Oceanites oceanicus), ac-
cOrding as we have reference to the
species of the eastern or western At
lantic. has not got the epithet q
stormy" for nothing, says Forest and
Stream. As already stated, the bird
appears to reyel In a tumult of the
winds and waves and actually does
so for good and sufficient reason,
This is that its food supply is very
much more abundant when the ocean
is agltated than when it is at rest
Then, the petrol has decided habit
of following ships. which has really
nothing TO do with impending Storm
No, 1t seeks the ship, not because 1t
is afraid or lonely, but simply be-
cause the ship agitates the waters
Very likely as 1t follows a storm may
spring up and then, seeing the bird
so obviously delighted, poor super
sDitious Jack not unnaturally thought
there was some connection between
them, From this to belief in a
companionship in evil was only a
step.
The queer notions about the stormy
petrol did not end here. 1t was be-
lieved land the naivete of this belief
