Why doesn't some inventor exercise his energies
in the production Of safety gas-burner. which
won't permit of the escape of gas after the light
is extingushed. If statistics were collected, the
number of deaths annually from suffocation by
escaping gas would be found to be enormous.
There is popular fiction that only the green
visitor from the country is in danger from this
cause. The fact is that the intelligence of the
victim has nothing to do with the case. The
ordinary gas-burner is mechanically defective.
and so long it remains unimproved there will
still be mourning over this most melancholy of
deaths

seconded by ali anti-revisiOnist and the cleo

been the permanent clerk OF the Assembly and

chief seat in the body. The unanimity which
marked his election betOkens unbounded faith
