There's the story that he says "Elementary, my dear Watson" when he never even utters those words. There's the myth that he always wears a deerstalker hat and Inverness cape, but, in the original stories, he is only shown in those clothes in two stories requiring travel. Then there's the stereotype that Watson is a short, fat, old man. But he's not that much older than Sherlock Holmes, and he was actually an army doctor, which actually requires him to be quite fit. He's better described as "stocky".

Why does sherlock holmes find the times newspaper article interesting in the hound of the baskervilles?

In chapter 4 of the novel, Holmes recognised that the type (font) contained in the anonymous message was from the London Times, and found the very article that included most of the words that were cut out to form the message though the word 'moor' was printed by hand.
