Pneumonia is too dangerous a
disease for anyone to attempt to
doctor himself, although he may
have the proper remedies at hand.
A physician should always he

mind however, that pneumonia
always results from a cold or from
an attack Of the grip, and that by
giving Chamberlain's Cough Rem

GAS.

On Monday of this week Mr..
Geo. Fay made startling discov'
cry at the waterworks plant-that
the city water mains contained
considerable quantity OF lnham
mable gas.
On this day he had opened up
the heater, connected with the
boiler feeders, and was scraping
it's inner walls. In order to better
observe the progress of his work
he held lighted candle in his
left hand Near the top OF the
heater was an open pipe leading
from the 10 inch main in the
pump pit. In shifting the posi-
ton of his candle, it was brought
near the end Of the open pipe,
when jet of flame jutted out
fully three feet. Mr. Fay way so
startled that his tools went one
way, while he rolled the other.
The large pumps were soon al
ter started when Mr.. Walter
Broussard tested the water con,
nectiOn on the street in front of
the plant and found that he could
ignite the gas there.
On Tuesday the wliter visited
the plant, when Mr.. Fay gave us
an exhibition of the burning gas
from an open pipe. The flame in
Dictated that the gas would yield
great heating powers if it could
be accumulated in sufficient guam
titles to make practical test.
Where the gas comes from we
may readily guess. The pumps
are drawing the water supply from
the two deep wells. To all ap
pearances this gas is drawn from
these we'll with the water. In
what quantity, is yet an unsOlved
problem. The chemist, in all pro
liability, will have to determine its
character-We know, however,
that it IS very in fiammable The
phenomenon is worthy Of study
and further experimentative tests

Couat House square on the OppO
site side of the street, just before

take critical look at the front

EDUCATION IN PAIN,
From the Following Account II
Would Seem Its Chief Feature
IL Its Absence.

a contributor to the Revue Inter
rationale de rEnselgnement describes
u few pages the farcial Aystem Of sec
1ndary education in Spain. The schools
d question are the so-cailed provincial
Institutes. where boys between the ages
+ ten and sixteen are instructed and
nXamin.d in 35 subjects. seven Of which
have been added TO the list by q recent
lecree Of the minister Of education
viz: Political economy. common law,
history Of Spain, literature, history Of
art, bookkeeping, and industrial and
agricultural technics. The minister
also n rommends visits TO the museums,
but, is he writer remarks. in nine
times out Of ten, where the institutes
are situated, the only museums are the
churches with their wax images The
boys work from three to four and half
hours day, and the newspapers are in
4 rage over such outrageous disregard
youth. The deplorable condition of ele
mentary education in the kingdom may
be inferred from the status of the com
mon school teachers as depicted in a
recent number Of the Padagogische lei
tung. Out of $4,000 teachers, in round
numbers. included in the last census,
nearly 1900 were receiving $50 or less
annually, 5000 were paid from $50 to
500, and the salary of only 1909
amounted to more than $3.50. But the
worst of it is that thousands of these
poor men and women were not even
paid the pittance to which their con-
tracts entitled them

ington GLADDEN., moderator of the Congre-
gational Church. filed written protest to-
day with the prudential committee of
American foreign missions, now in session
at Boston, against the committee accepting
the gift of $1OO, COO from John D. RockefeI-
Ter.
This committee" he said today, zig
merely supplementary committee, any
way, and ought not to take upon itself the
responsibility of accepting this gift In view
of the widespread feeling all over the coun-
try among religious people. I shall con-
tinue to protest until the conference of the
Congregational Church in September. when
some action will be taken. The churches
should adopt some form of referendum in
such matters, SO that the people of the
sires In such cases. All should protest
against the acceptance Of this gift
BOSTON, March 2S.-The question of ac-
cepting or rejecting John D. Rockefeller's
gift Of 100000 to the American board of
commissioners for foreign missions was the
principal business scheduled to come before
the meeting Of the prudential COMMITTEES of
the organization today.
The widespread discussion which followed
the formal action taken by Congregational
clergymen In various parts of New Eng
land last week In protesting against the ac-
ceptance OF the gift because Of objections
to the alleged business methods Of the Stan
dard Oil Company created great interest in
todays meeting.
DR.. James L. Barton, foreign secretary of
the American board. said today that al
ready $41. OF the gift was In he treas
ury, and the question to be decided at to-
days meeting was, therefore, whether this
amount should be returned or whether 1t
should be retained and the balance ac-
cepted.
