MOTH BALLS DANGEROUS.
A Warming to Those Using Them in
Storing Away Winter Clothing.


Moth balls are I'm use I'm many dwellings

realize that they are infiammable, and.
when taken IN any considerable bulk ex-
plosive.
A few evenings ago a Providence woman
saw fire in the closet on the top floor and
CALLED help. who cared for the blaze with
few pals OF water.
An examination revealed the cause in a
quantity of moth balls that were In a basin
for disinfectant. A lighted match or pos
sibly cigar ashes had set them on fire. re-

The janitor OF the building had noticed
blackened porcelain several times before
but had always attributed 1T to some ones
throwing acid or a like substance on the
material. but Its occurring always where
moth balls were used led to the connection
of the two. and the experience OF the other
night confirmed the theory.
AS an experiment a handful of moth balls
were placed in a shovel and ignited They
burned slowly at first. but gradually gained

course a larger quantity would ignite more
quickly and undoubtedly cause some sort

Elephants That Sucked the Bottle
w. c. Coup, In Saturday Evening Post.

owned some young elephants, which
had lent to a Snowman on the Bowery
On going to see them one day l noticed
man holding his finger in the mouth of one
Of the smaller ones. I placed my finger in
the mouth of another and found that the
creatures seemed to derive pleasure from
the action of sucking. Immediately / sent
out for an ordinary infants nursing bottle
The young elephant drained the bottle as
IL Ito the manner born" 1t was passed
from one TO another of the infant class.
Finally they fought in the most indescrib-
ably comical manner for possession of the
bottle.
Then I fitted large glass Jar. holding a
gallon, with rubber tubes. so that all could
use II at the same time. Invariably they
would empty this bottle before Ioosenine
their hold on the nipples. They had doubt
less been taken from their mother when
too young. or perhaps she had been killed
at the time the young were Captured So
effectively did they appeal to public in
terest and sentiment that by dint of skiIlful
advertising the celebrated Sucking baby
elephant made quite fortune in a single
season. They would be led into the ring.
where they would take their nourishment
like human babies. their overgroWn size
making this infantile operation very com
zeal and absurd. The sight captfvated the
heart Of every woman who attended the
show.

When this exhibition was at Kefth's.

pronounced one Of the hes. things of
the season. It is an unique method and
very pleasing attraction which the COM
