exciting taste of tropical adventure
few days ago. A bunch of bananas
which had been ripening in the store

long and unpleasantly active. Taken
In a glass-covered box to local school,
the reptile was identified as a bush

large, diamond-shaped patches from

go out into the cold air, often covered
with steam, and consequently are like

Weather and the Death Rate.

The general death rate is found to
Increase with rising temperature, and
to diminish with falling thermome-
ter. These conclusions are reached
by Doctor Ellsworth Huntington of
Yale, and are a result Of a study of
about 100000 deaths in New York
city in connection with the weather
on the day Of death. The peculiarities
seem to apply to all seasons. Variety
in the weather is healthful and stim-
ulating, and it is believed that some
variability is as essential as proper hui
Nudity.
