SMOKING AND HEALTH

Those who smoke in moderation
have far better chance of resisting
disease than those who do not smoke
at all.
Definite experiments have recently
been made which show that tobacco
smoke rapidly destroys in particular
the comma bacillus of cholera.
A good many years ago. says the
Lancet, it was reported by the senior
medical officer of Greenwich work
house that the tobacco-smoking in
mates enjoyed comparative immunity
from epidemics.
During a cholera epidemic at Ham
burg it was reported that not single
workman engaged in the cigar factory
in that city was attacked by the dis
ease. Later it was stated that
amongst body OF 5000 cigarmakers
only eight cases and four deaths from
cholera occurred
Tobacco smoke has destroyed the
bacilli of Asiatic cholera as we'll as
pneumonia, and there is evidence that
it has been preventive of some forms
of nasal catarrh
Excessive tobacco smoking, OF
course. may easily give rise to consti-
tutional effects which diminish the re-
sisting power of the body to disease.
in which case it is probable the habit
would afford not only no protection.
but an opening for invasion.

WHERE is GARDEN or EDEN7

Forty miles west of old Bagdad, in
the vast level valley Of the historic
Euphrates, near Hit, of the Hittitesi
lies the traditional Garden of Eden.
Such is the interesting conclusion OF
Sir William Willcocks, the famous
Egyptian engineer and Bible student,
and many other authorities agree
with him.
Out of Eden came a river which
watered garden. and from thence II
was parted and became four rivers"
And these four rivers, known in Bible
days as the Pison. Gihon, Hiddekel
and Euphrates-the ancient River of
Babylon been identified by
Sir William.
1t was while studying surveying
and mapping Chaldea previous to
starting work on the giant irrigation
scheme planned for Mesopotamia,
that Willcocks became convinced
that the real Garden of Eden lay in
the region described.
The Garden Of Eden lies away over
in Turkish Arabia, too far from the
beaten tourist trail to draw many
sightseers. Probably not a dozen
white travellers see 1t in a whole year.
To reach Chaldea the safest and sur
est route lies through the Suez. over
Pharaoh's bones in the Red Sea,
through the Straits of Bab-el-Mandeb,
up the hot Persian Gulf. and thence
500 miles along the winding Tigris
and Euphrates.

NOW THE ELECTRIC SLEEP

Electric sleep, to be turned on or
turned off" at will, is the alluring
promise held out to sufferers from
sleepiessness by DR.. Nagelschmidt, a
German physician.
So far electric sleep has been pro-
duced only in rabbits and dogs, but
the experiments on animals have been
so free from ill-effects that DR.. Nagel-
schmidt thinks human beings can be
subjected to the same treatment with
out danger.
DR.. Nagelschmidt asserts that his
new method also has the power to
eliminate pain in any portion of the
human body. A condition is produced
in which pinpricks. or even the in
cisions of the surgeons knife, are not
felt so long as the patient remains in
an electrified" state.

FIGHT WITH AN OCTOPUS

Attacked by an octopus a young
man of Waimate Island, ~ g., had
an exciting experience, a few days
ago. He was gathering mussels
in the SET. close to the shore on
one of the islands in the gulf
when the young man with cries for
help attracted the notice of his father.
On arriving to see what was the mat
ter, the father found that an octopus
had one of it's tenacles, as big as a
mans wrist, wound round the boys
leg. The creature had SO strong hold
of the lad that it drew blood before
they could be separated.

HAVE LONG DURATION OF LIFE
Salt Water Denixens Attain immense
Age, II Scientific Investigations
Are Correct.

Water, particularly salt water,
seems to conduce to longevity. There
are gigantic mussels and oysters
whose age is assumed to be compar-
able only with that OF the Cape Verde
baobab tree and the big tree OF Cali
fornia, which live for 5000 years. In
deed, there appears no particular
reason why mussels should ever die,
though 1t is also true that, consider
ing the sort OF life a mussel leads,
there seems no particular reason why
1t should ever have lived.
Sea anemones, again, delicate and
sensitive though they look when we
see them in the rock pools, may at.
tain great age. Sir John Dalyell, o
Scottish naturalist, captured in 1928
sea anemone of the liver-colored
sort 80 common around our shores.
Its age was then estimated at seven
years. It flourished In Edinburgh un.
til 1887, and was just attaining vigor.

The political situation in Venezuela
generally is regarded as critical.
Scores of important persons have
been imprisoned.
The last definite news as to the
whereabouts of Cipiano Castro form
er dictator OF Venezuela, was his ar
rival in Berlin from New York. After
he left the German capital he was
reported to have reached the Canary

was later supposed at various times
to have been in Key West, in Cura-
Goa and in Panama. Later he was
said to have departed for Colombia,

preceded him. ,..-..1....
