There is an article now going the
usual rounds of the press warning
people Of the danger Of sleeping in
room with plants. This article,
TO the writer's knowledge, is at least
80 years old and there is no telling
how old it really Is, or just when
such an idea was first promulgated.
The article is based on the we'll
known chemical fact that plants at
night give off carbonic acid gas,
which is OF course poisonous to all
animal life. One reading such an
article might conclude that all ami
mails and insects sleeping in the
grass or in the woods would soon
fall q victim to some slow subtle
sleeping. The article In question is
one of those crazy theoretical cpin-
ions that have no basis whatever to
rest upon. The article studiously
avoids mentioning the quantity OF
carbonic acid gas necessary to be in
furious, and what is more import
ant, fails to mention the minute
quantities that are thrown off. which
would in itself discredit the article
with any sane person. This article
is good example OF how strange
chemical bunk can get by many edi-
tors, and so few who do know better
will take the trouble to challenge.
