The first effect of the entrance of alcohol in the blood was a loss of judgment, be said, - As an example, he stated that if a elan who had taken intoxfe�ating liquor shot at a target he would think he had done -better than before he took the drink, when he really had done worse. Regarding animals, he said that., they could take considerably more alcohol than a human being, and were not put "off their legs" so iasily as 0 ratan, It had been proved that alcohol en- tered the blood much quicker than it worked out again, and one of the quickest ways of getting it ditt wa:i by exercise, If a man got. drunk and kept running about he 'would get sober stoner than by sleeping. Another experiment he had made was persuading a very drunk man to swallow two pints of solution of meat extract. He found that the man made a very rapid. recovery, A drink which would keep a than drunk for the longest. period and at the same time eliminate -the worst ef- fects of getting drunk, was a mixture of rum and milk, which was generally taken in the North. of Scotland. This was, he thought, uudoubtedly due to the fat in the milk. S4 —"Doctofi $seals." IE you want to keep well and avoid doctor's bilis, study your Bible.

Sir James pointed out how we learnt the dangers of plagues carried by rata from the Bible. Twenty-six years ago, when he was a doctor at Hong -Kong, there was a bubonic plague, and he and others searched the encyclopaedia for infor- mation, Then, a clergyman came -to him and asked him to read the fourth, fifth, and sixth chapters of the Book of Samuel, where ,.five modeles of swellings and three golden images of rats were described as being offered to the God of Israel.

Literary Works Which Have, by Accident or Design, Gone Into the Fire. Miss Cicely Hamilton, the English pla.ywtight and novelist, whose "Wil- liam, an Englishman," hasejust been .awarded the "Femina" Prize for the best work of imagination in' English published in 1919, had a sad experi- ence with her fist play, She had just completed the manuscript, when a careless housemaid swept it into the fire. 'without spending a minute in rain regrets, Miss Hamilton shut her- self in her room and rewrote the play from memory. A Blessing in Disguise. She has several very distinguished companions in -this type of misfortune, Tho -best-known case is that of Car- lyle's great masterpiece, "The French Revolution," a work of colossal labor and learning, which had coat the Sage of Chelsea many months of Tabor and thousands of references. Visitors to Carlyle's house, in Cheyne Row, may .still see there the few charred leaves which are all that is left of the preci- ous manuscript of the first volume. He lent it to John Stuart Mill to read, and, as in tate case of Mir a Ham- ilton, a careless servant, taking it for rubbish, lit the are with it! Poor Mill had to go and confess the awful blunder. Carlyle, though by no means a smooth -tempered man, took the news surprisingly well., and set to work to Write the volume all over again. 1 -le confessed afterwards that it was perhaps a blessing in disguise, as he improved itis work at the second time of writing. Sir Isaac Newton had a similar misfortune, but in his case it was. not a careless maid, but a mischievous puppy, who dict the dire deed. New- ton was very fond of animals, and he left his little dog alone in bis study with some mathematical calculations which had cost him months of hard i work. When he returned he found them chewed to bits! Some who tell the tale say that he only chivied his ,Log mildly; but the fact is that the misfortune nearly sent him off his head. Poor Newton! During an Irish Rebellion. Ireland hay always beet the "dis- tressful country." It watt so even in the days of Elisabeth, l+;ilntur:d Spen- ser lived in the Emerald tale, and there wrote the greater part of his masterpiece, "The Peery Queen," He left six manuscript books of the poem in his house in County Tyrone whilst he proceeded to :England, and in his absence a rebellion broke out, his house was fired, and not only did his youngest child peri,^:h in the flames, but it is said that about as much. more of the poem as we possess to- day was burnt also. The jjoet never rewrote it. Occasioally manuscripts have been burnt of set purpose. Tom Moore burnt Byr'on'Is autobiography.. He probably thought that the poet had been a little too fra k with the pub- lic, and had revealed passages in his erratic career which were better buried in oblivion. However, he com- mitted the manuscript to the flames. John 'Wesley was the victim --after his death—of a similar decision. He had written notes on the plays of Shakespeare, for he was a man of singular• breadth of scholarship and sympathies, But when his ministerial executors found that he had written a commentary on stage plays they were seaidalized, and feared that such a re elation would react upon Wesley's niomo'ry; so they burnt the manuscript! Did Burton Return? It is a remarkable thing that not one -line of Browning's "Juvenilia" is extant. He took the most prodigious trouble to find, and destroy every line of it, and was barely persuaded to spare his early masterpiece, "Pauline;" But It is not often a wife—or, rattler, widow --=lets as the destroyer of her late husband's work, yet this is what Lady Burton diel.

Ile left • several translations of EaMern books in manuscript, and a story was told of Burton's atpirit ap- pearing to hite wife 'after ltistx death, beseeching her to burn, these unpub- lished books.
