('uriuus experiments with alcohol
Iwere described by Dr. Edward lllellen-
by in a lecture before the Medical
Bociety of London.
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

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.

how we learnt the dangers of plagues

Twenty-six years ago, when he was
a doctor at Hong -Kong, there was a
bubonic plague, and he and others

of Samuel, where ,.five modeles of

PAINTING becomes necessary as your

property was never so valuable as today
there is a greater need than ever for that
kind of paint which actually preserves the

When you use B-H Paint you will notice its

MISFORTUNES OF SOME
GREAT WRITERS.
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. Her Husband was

East for months together as an Arab,

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. Certain it is that Lady e
lhirton did destroy then,.
