The deceased had left home about 1.30 s.m. to lodge a complaint with Mr. MacQuillan about the conduct of some Halloween pranksters, rind he evidently succumbed to a heart attack before reaching the police- man's house.

The music was sweet from its bab- bling song,

Why did they bury that beautiful stream

And hide it away from the sky;

Around it was flowery, lovely aild

This swarm of fragments takes about 8 years to pass any given point, but 33.3 years to go completely round its orbit. This means that the frag- ments of the comet are not. uni- formly spread round tha orbit. However, Humboldt whilst in South America, observed a heavy meteor shower on Nov. 12th, 1799. I have also a list of l0 other similar appearances at about the same season of. the year. com- mencing with that of A.D. 902, and ending in 1698. The con- clusion we are forced to accept is that the break-up of the comet of 1868 did not originate the dis- plays. though it may have en- hanced them.

THE AXILLA This word was misprlrvied “oxilla" in a recent Note. which

explained that it was the medical term for ihe armpit. There is not much difference in the script for "a" and "o", and in the stir of a busy newspaper office it is easy to make s slip. The marvel is, there are l0 few! It may be mentioned here that the feathers on a birds‘ body. under the wings, are called the axillars.

THE HISTORIAN TACITUS (I)

l have here an old volume, bound in calfskin, comprising the works of Caius Cornelius Tacitus, Ro- man historian, who probably liv- ed. (for we have little to guide us) from A.D. 55 to 120. An en- graving from an antique bust. shows a pleasant. intelligent coun- tenance somewhat of the Grecian type. adorned with a curling beard trimmed short: and tho head is covered thickly with curly

locks. In bodily vigor a Roman but in artistic appreciation a Hellene.

Tacitus wrote the Annalee which began with the death of the Em- peror Augustus A.D. 14 and end- cd on the death of Nero in 68; then follows the flisioriae, the his- fory of his own times, from A.D. 6B lo the death of Domitian in 99. Some chapters of both series have been lost, s catastrophe very fre- quent for old writings.

Dr. Wm. Smith of Classic fame. writes of this historian: "The moral dignity of Tacitus is im- pressed upon his works. His great power is in his knowledge of the human mind, his insight into the motives of human conduct . . . In the Annals his style is concise, vigorous, and pregnant with meaning , . . As he grew older his style became more sombre, his love of rhetorical devices increas- ed . . . and his power of epigram is shown in the most striking fash- ion."

The period immortalized ‘by Tacitus was s strange one. Ali'- gustus embellished the city of

- NEWSY NOTES -.

ly Agricola

Rome with so many ornate build- ings that he boasted "I found the city o! brick and leave it of mar- ble." The marble city was ln the reign of Nero (A.D. M). two- thirdl destroyed by fire. The Em- perors who succeeded Augustus were iholirughly depraved. and

The Senate and the People, found themselves in a Police State where the lightest word might have the gravest consequences. The ruler would hoard up the supposed in- sult or provocation for years till some opportunity arose for pui- iing the victim up for trial, when by means of false witnesses, he was sentenced to die.

Tacitus. in one place, describes the Roman peo_\c as "frantic" - or perhaps "frustrated" would be more correct. They had no real leader; they were in the same pre- dicament as mankind today. One noteworthy saying must close this instalment: it is from the Annals. “The credulity of the common people never works by halves; they believe without proof, and soon find the author of what never happened." A pointed eplgram! More about Tacitus next week.

THE COWBIBD

This bird, sometimes called the Cow Blackbird, is by common con- sent classed as “l'al"e" in the Mari- times. Neither Francis Bain, nor John MacSrwsin, have listed it. but ihere is a single record of a Cow- bird having been seen by Earl Jenkins, ln Lot 48, during the summer of 1933. The Cowbird is an erratirmlgrsnt to the south- ern U.S.A. In summer it is said to be present in the central Pro- vinces of Canada in fair num- bers, but is not welcomed therr. These birds do not build a nest of their own but the female de- posits a single egg in the nest. of some mall bird. sparrow, war-bier or finch. “Nothing can be more

of small birds upon whom one of these parasites has been foisted," says C. W. Nash, in Birds of On- tario. “They are forced to raise an ugly foul-idling instead of their own young, and by reason of the long-continued helplessness of their foster child they are pre- vented from raisin-g a second brood: for although it quickly grows large and strong enough. to crowd out its fellow nestlings and its body develops rapidly . . . yet its energy does not develop proportionally with its body. and it requires to be fed for a long- er perlod than the young of any other small bird."

Both the Cowbird and the small birds are insectivorous; but every female Cowbird (laying 4 or 5 eggs in the season) causes the loss of l5 to 25 of the young of our most valuable birds! The rem- edy for this is to discourage the Cowiaird by means of the gun. Cowblrd, Cow Blackbird. AOU. 495. Rare visitor. Aduli. Male. Head chestnut brown; bill short, conical, sparrow-like. Rest. of the plumage glossy black, with metal- lic reflections. Adult female, shorter; plumage dull brownish- gray; rather paler below, especial- ly on the throat. Immature birds similar to the female but whiter below; all the feathers edged with buffy. Length of adults 7 to 8 inches. (The female resembles several other birds).

THE OLD CLAY PIPE

Tobacco is a mrcotle poison, and is rejected by the system when first used. i was obliged to make several attempts at smoking be- fore I "got away with it." It was early discovered that the pressed leaf would not stand the voyage across the -Atlant.ic without mould- ing, unless treated with some pre- servative "sauce," usually a pre- paration of saltpelre. The com- bination of leaf and sauce was pretty severe on the juvenile de- linquentl

There were no cigarettes in those days, though there were "Swiss cigars" which rather re- sembled thdm in form. but the wrapping was not paper but leaf.

If the reader has pictures of hunting suppers and convivsl gatherings generally, ten to one the old “yard o’ clay", called the Churchwardcn pipe. is in evid- ence. The Squire, the Parson. the Poet, and the Philosopher, all re- lieved what mental tension they possessed, by smoking the church- wardens provided by the Landlord of the Inn. The clay absorbed much of the narcotic poison." and the smoke was cooled in its pass- age up the long stem. It was the custom to snap the pipe-stem when its owner had "had enough" a sanitary haibit. In my opinion, the only pipe to beat the old clay. was the hookah or “huibble-bubble" of the Orient.
