tractors rather than take the chance
of losing through the changes that
would be made necessary by the new

The Lancet has been making an an
alysis of London snow on a weekday
and on Sunday. The Sunday snow
showed roughly a filth of the amount
of impurities present in the weekday
snow. But the most significant diff

snow contained as much as 1856 grains
of sulphuric acid in ten pounds, the
Sunday snow contained practically

with Mr.. Matson. The fact is that Mr..
