"A horse with short tail is very

strawberries now coming to market
and poison gases, but the association
exists. The steamships bringing fruit
from Brittany to Plymouth refuse to
carry passengers when conveying a
cargo of Strawberries because of the
intoxicating fumes given off by the
berries when packed in bulk. Even
the seamen have orders to keep on
deck as much as possible. AS straw
berries. even tons of them, give off
no very pungent smell, the theory has
been advanced that the intoxicating
effect of cargo of the fruit rs due to
the fermentation of the sugar In the
berries.-London Chronicle.
