Placing the incense PLANT.

For many centuries the incense
plant had been in Christian churches
before II really became identified
botanically. Sir George Birdwell. a
distinguished English botanist. and for
many years special technical adviser
to the India Office. is given credit for
the identity Of the plant. Acting on
HIS suggestion men were sent out
into South Arabia and the Somali
country, returning with specimens OF
what Sir George had been seeking.

Small Cause for Wonder.

A sergeant in the Bavarian army
was discharged the other day on ac-
count of lung disease. 1t appeared
that for several years he had been in
the habit of drinking 20 quarts of beer
per diem. No wonder his lungs were
worn out. He must have spent about
IA hours a day holding his breath.
