that under various provocations it is liable to
explode with results which it is impossible to
contemplate with equanimity. DIR. Martin, the
chemist Of the Health Board, has been looking
into this matter, and his Investigations show
that 10 per cent of the gas manufactured
escapes. Nearly billion cubic feet of gas n

cause it is cheaper for the gas companies to lose
this quantity of gas than to put down mains

months of immunity from an explosion arc
enough to allay the publics fears, and the dan

MISS FIELDS EXPERIENCE.

The recent experience of Miss Kate Field
as lecturer for the California Nihcultural Asso-
citation serves to throw some light upon the
overwhelming reverses which the Prohibition
movement has encountered during the last few
wears. Whether Miss Field undertook this
mission primarily because she looked upon 1t
as a congenial method of earning money with
out violating her conscience, or because she re-
garded the purposes involved Of eminent
importance, the pecuniary recompense beng a
minor consideration, there was neither sense nor
decency in making her the object OF vitupeia-
ton. Her arguments were open to rebuttal,
and no doubt she would have welcomed every
honest effort to refute them. A lively contro-
versy. which would have aroused universal in
terest in the subject which she was discussing,
would have been agreeable TO her and to the
association, but she has been constrained to re-
linquish the work because she was unwilling
TO be the target Of abuse which the attitude OF
California officials seemed to sanction.
Miss Field believes with many thousands Of
sincere persons that the general Introduction
of pure native wines would promote practical
temperance She and those who agree with
her may be utterly mistaken. jealous effort
to prove them in the wrong would be entirely
commendabe, whereas a campaign Of personal
defamation, though it may have driven her
temporarily from the field, is not only des-
picable. but in the long run an exceedingly dis
astrous mode of warfare. There is nothing to
enlighten or convince the world in such head
line as kate Fields Rum Work" and it's de-
liberate misrepresentation of purpose and mo-
tive is not more likely TO command the APP
.,royal of fair minded persons because it is
directed against woman. The Prohibition
leaders by whom. as a class, large num-
Der of honest enthusiasts are dishonored and
betrayed, have disclosed. in their bitterness

Another frightful disaster is reported from
China which has had its share of floods in re-
cent times, though accurate information re-
garding the destruction of life thereby in that
thickly peoped country is almost impossible to
obtain. The latest occurrence of this nature
was on June 2, when 5000 lives are said to
have been lost. This is easily conceivable;
but when it is stated that the level country was
flooded with SO feet of water, that is much
harder to believe. Still, this calamity is thrilling
compared with that of September, 1887, when,
according to the report of an Imperial Com
missioner, / 90, 900 persons lost their lives.
