Ship with Boilers on Deck.

A ship -which made Port of London officials stare anchored recently in the Thames. Her boiler room, instead of being hidden deep in the vessel, was on the main deck. The vessel was the s.s. Bencas, of Oslo. This constructional experiment has been made in an effort to avoid some of the dangers of the stokehold. Wonderful chaps those scientists! Cabled the other day that: “The old question ‘why is smoking pleasurable’ I has now been placed on a scientific basis, and there is a rational explanai tion of why tobacco relieves fat'gue and irritability.” Further particulars will be awaited with breathless inter- : est. Meantime the man in the street will probably go on smoking because he likes it, -without worrying over scientific reasons. But does the weed invariably “relieve fatigue and irritability?” Aha, “that’s another story,” as Kipling would say. If full of nicotine it assuredly doesn’t. Instead it has precisely the opposite effect. The safe and sure way is to stick to “Toasted New Zealand.” Not only is it of the finest quality but the toasting it gets at the factory (expert treatment!) largely eliminates the nicotine. Five popular brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), Cavendish, Desert Gold and Riverhead Gold. Both the latter make splendid cigarettes. All these do really banish fatigue and irritability. But take care when you buy! —-or you may get a rotten imitation. 462.
