SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION.
1t Does Not Require Much to Generate a
Dangerous Fire.
Toronto Monetary Times.l


All substances that are liable to take fire
spontaneously do so more readily when
covered UP so as to !contine the heat gene
rated. or when subjected TO artificial heat,
either from steam or hot-air flues, or that
of the sun.
The moistening of such fibrous sub
stances as cotton, hair, or wool IS always
attended with slight heat. Wet iron-flngs
generate heat readily, rs does also rusting
iron. Very fine fragments OF iron and
steel by their rapid oxidation Will become
red hot, and some English scientists de-
clare that the fires known to be caused by
stearn-pipes constantly in contact with
wood originate from the rust OF the IRON.
An English authority says:
when oxide of iron is placed in contact
with wood excluded from the atmosphere,
and aided by slightly-increased tempera-
fure. the oxide parts with Its oxygen, and
is converted into very finely divided parti-
cles of metallic iron having such an affinity
for oxygen that, when afterward exposed
to the action Of the atmosphere from any
cause, oxygen is absorbed so rapidly that
these PARTICLES become red not, andit insufii-

II is very difficult to get persons to be-
lieye that there is any danger from fire
arising from the contact of steam-pipes
with wood, notwithstanding that there
have been well-attested cases of fires
originating from this cause.

New York san

A duck with brood OF ducklings was
walking along the edse of Hankin's pond,
near Pleasant Mount, Pa, few days ago,
when one of flock OF crows that was
hanging about the spot lit on the ground
near the ducks and pecked aud strutted TO
and fro IN her indifferent sort OF way. as
though not noticing the presence OF the
ducks, but all the time drawing closer and
closer to them. Finally the crow made
sudden movement, captured duckling
and few away with it. greeted by q
from its companions, who had been
perched in tree not far away as quiet as
mice. There was great commotion III the
duck family over the loss of one of its
members. and the old ducks drake. which
had been swimming in the pond near by,
hurried 10 her and quacked his condo
lence. After few minutes another crow,
probably envious OF the success of itsfellow
in securing so delicious meal so neatly,
dropped down on the ground and began q
system of similar manpuvres. The cawing
of the crows ceased instantly. and the eyes
of the flock were evidently fixed on their
schemine companion watching the result of
his wiles. A farmer who had been an eye
witness of the first performance now
thought il strange and stupid on the part
of the old ducks, after their experience,
that they did not take their little ones in
the water, where they could protect them
better. But he did not interfere. being
curious to see what success the second
crow would have. He soon discovered
that the ducks had longer heads than he
gave them credit for. The crow pecked and
sided along until il was quite near the
ducks, when il darted forward to seize a
duckling. But the drake had its eye on
the marauder, and before the crow had the
duckling the drake had the crow. 1t seized
the black robber by one leg. and in spite
Of the latter's yells and fluttering plunged
in the pond with il. The drake swan few
feet. and then dove with his prisoner. The
capture of the crow filed the flock of crows
with alarm, and they arose in body and cir
cled about with deafening cries. The sud
den disappearance of their comrade be-
meath the water aroused all their suspicious
nature, and they few rapidly away. The
drake remained below for an extraordinary
long time, and when it came to the surface
the crow was not with il. IL appeared soon
afterward. Il was rs dead as a stone, the
revenging drake having drowned it. The
drake swain back to its mate and family.
and a loud quacking of congratulations
followed. after which the whole family
launched themselves into the water for q
triumphal swim.

stimuIants sad tonics for vnrishls periods.
The contseiousness q ths malsdy has not

The treatment hiss been in ACCORDANCE

The epidemic is likely soon TO pass over, o
few days more settling the question OF inn
munity from attack. With this epidemic,
as with all others of it's kind, the feeble
and old have been the first TO succumb
and the slowest to recover. although all
classes of cases have quite generally SUI
fered. There Is no better protection against
an attack than the maintenance OF good
health by avoidance of over-fatigue, OF
undue exposure, and of insufficient food
and sleep. But even these conditions are
not absolute as safeguards, as no oneliving
in an invaded district can have his safety

The Obio Senntorship.


COLUMBUS, o.. January 3.-There IS no
material change in the senatorial situation
to-day, but great amount of work is being
done and the crowds are increasing in size:
A feature of the forenoon is the reported
withdrawal of all the candidates for Speak
er with the exception of Hysell. This has
given increased life to the Bryce boom for
the Senate. Hysell is recognized as the
speakership candidate Of the Bryce ele9-
ment in the senatorial contest, although
Bryce and his managers claim that they
have nothing TO do with il and have been
steering clear of the speakership fight.
John A. Mcmahon, who is considered the
third most prominent candidate, arrived at
noon, accompanied by large following;
The most important ruInor, which is as yet
confined to select circles, is that the Demo
cratic members of the Legislature since
coming to the city have held a conference
and concluded TO seat Marquis for Lieu
tenant-Goycrnor over Lampson with a
whirl and without delay, and then bring
out Governor Campbell as the CHIEF oppo--
nent TO Bryce for the Senate. This report
lacks confirmation.

The Epidemic of Influenza.

There is now no doubt that influenza, or
what is popularly known as the grippe"
has become epidemic in this city and IS
scattered broadcast over the country. IL
is also quite evident that its general charac-
ters correspond with those noted IN con-
nection with the prevailing type OF the
malady in Russia, Germany, and France.
Fortunately it is of such mild type that,
save for its invasion of large districts and
for the large number OF persons attacked,
il would scarcely be noticed in the cate;
cory of ailments connected with the usual
ones which occur during the winter months
associated with rapid and varied changes
of temperature and humidity.
The type of the present epidemic par
takes more Of the febrile and nervous
variety than that of the purely catarrhal.
The increased temperature IN the begin
ming Of the attack, with the severe pains
In the head. back, and lower extremities,
ara the leading phenomena which are
noted in the large majority of cases. Only
In a comparatively few instances are
the coryzal symptoms the leading
feature of the seizure. This lat
ter is, perhaps. q. fortunate clrcum,

opinion concerning the greatly-exagge-
rated danger of bronchitis and pneumonia

ton is offentimes extreme, but, by no
