Coal GAs.-peoplo who use furnaces, of
stoves made tight by hampers should be careful
not to throw the gas into their rooms, especially
into their sleeping apartments. Many have
been the cases where death has been caused in
this way, and many more where it has resulted
in i'll health. Probably the chief reason Of the
unhealthness Of coal so often complained of
is from the exhalation of gas. a few days since

annual report of this company states that the
only liability outstanding against it is the sum
Of 1919 advanced by the directors at their own
risk to meet current expenses Of the company

deterioration or decay in any part of the gutta
percha. A severe electrical test showed that an
actual improvement had taken place in its con-
ditio0 since it was laid down As the company
is possessed OF valuable privileges and con-
tracts, it is deemed best to continue the or
ganization for some time to come on an econom-
ical footing. The report states that a cable
could be constructed without difficulty, and
worked between Ireland and Newfoundland at
the rate of fifteen to twenty words per minute.
The balance sheet shows that G47l $40 had
been expend.d, including f303 6S2 for the Ca
bic, leaving q balance of f0O3 in hand.
