WEATHER REPORT. December 8th, sh 1211.-Pressure has increased considerably at Vladivostock and Mr. Stephen Leacock gave an extreme-moderately from Welhaiwai to Shanghai. It ly humorous lecture on the modern drama has decreased considerably over the Bonins at the Eolian Hall, on October 20th. and slightly over the Philippines.

In the good old days," he said, "there was something doing in the drama. In the first act you had a lighthouse, men walking up and down in oilskins, and a wrecked boat; the secord act was's mad house the third in the monkey-house; and the last in the House of Lords. possible you put in condemned cell somewhere and hanged one of the charac ters: In the modern play, you intro- duced all the characters in the first üct, and they sat on the stager brooding, reflecting, but did not speak. In the second act the characters did not come on the stage at all. For the third act the stage was draped in black, and the. Hights were subdued with the exception Hongkong to Gap Book of one wee light, for the guidance "of people who had been out to have a drink. | Formons. Chiaanel“. Again no one came on the' stage, the characters having died between the second

and third sots.?

In the moving, picture everything was done by symbols. If a character was drumming with his fingera on the table it meant that he was plot ting, and if he was leaning against the clock it meant that he was only a secondary character.

SURGEON'S WARNING TO

SMOKERS.

Pipe smokers, beware! There is danger in the firmly gripped pipe.

I have often noticed," said Sir James Dundas-Grant; the famous surgeon, lec turing to a crowded audience at the Aldersgate Y.M.Q.A., -on October 24th on" The Care of the Ear and Throat,” that when a pipe is always held between the teeth in the same position and at the same angle, one finds at the opposite point of the throat a bad condition which leads after to cancer.

**Mild tobaccos, as far as we can judge have worse effect in this, connection than the stronger kinda."

Maxims were multiplied at every turn by the lecturer, frequently with a pawky humour (Never scratch your ear except with your elbow," was one of his solemn recommendations) — that: vastly tained his bearera.

These tit-bits of expert advice included TABAQUERIA such, warnings as:--
