TO BUST TRUST.
Kansas Statesman Would Use
Corn Alcohol Instead of
Trust Oil.

Washington dispatch, 2G: Corn will
yet "bust'' the Standard Oil trust.
Representative Murdoch of Kansas be-
lleves. He expects that with favorable
legislation another use will be found
for the great corn product of the Kan
sas field. Corn, he says, will furnish
light, heat and power in bis state.
Mr. Murdoch, who made his cam
paign for congress on the platform that
"red headed men are needed in con
gress, wants the government to per
nit the use of corn in making grain al
cohol, with which is to be mixed 10 per
cent Of wood alcohol, making it poison
Gus and unfit for drinking purposes
Germany makes 800, 600, 600 gallons of
this fluid, and it is used for illuminat-
ing purposes and for heating.
One bushel Of corn, costing not more
than 35 cents, will Il axe FIVE gallons of
alcohol and after plants are installed it
is estimated that this alcohol can be
manufactured at a rate not to exceed "a
ton.
Illuminating oil costs from ii to 10
cents a gallon, and Mr.. Murdoch says
the grain alcohol can be made to sell for
OF 10 cents a gallon. The alcohol as
an illuminant is better than oil, as 1T
does not vitiate the air, and there is no
danger of explosion.
Representative Murdock wants the
manufacture of this grain alcohol made
under government supervision. The
alcohol is made in what is called a
methylator, and TO 90 per cent. of the
pure grain alcohol 10 per cent. of wood
alcohol is added and enough malachite
to color the whole delicate pea green.
The mixture is deadly poison, and
Mr.. Murdock would take off tine inter
nal revenue tax of 81 OF gallon after
it had been mixed with wood alcohol
and malachite. 1t then comes under
the head of wood alcohol which is
made by trust from charcoal and is
not taxed.
This specially prepared alcohol is pre-
ferred in Germany and France to oil for
Illuminating and heating. 1t cannot
only DE made from corn, but from pota-
toes, cassava, sugar beets and the resi-
due of sugar cane stalks after the sugar
has been extracted.
Mr.. Murdoch has resolution pend
ing in the house directing the secretary
of agriculture to thorouhgly investigate
the subject and make report to con
gress on it. Statistics show that one
firm alone in Germany sold 80, 600 lamps
lie

Worker. who walk Tiptoe.

Three good looking workmen passed
down the long length of the art gallery
on tiptoe. much TO the wonderment OF
the observer Why do they walk like
thatT' he asked.
Those men are stained glass work
ers imported from Paris for my new
stained glass department" said the
proprietor. and they walk on tiptoe
because they have worked SO much in
churches and cathedrals that the gait
las become habitual with them. Prac-
tically all their working hours have
been spent in the repairing or the mag
nihcent old painted windows OF the
churches in Europe. These churches
are always open. since services are al
ways going on in them. Work must be
conducted quietly, and all walking
must be done ON the toes. So these
artists whenever they enter n spacious
and quiet place like this gallery or
mine rise up on their toes involuntarlly
from subconscious notion that they

To XIII Bacteria

A Galveston Crex) chemist and bac-
terioiogist, !. F. Horton. has discovered
a new way OF killing mosquitoes and
bacteria. 1t is Endorsed by the Texas
board or health. 1t consists OF a new
process OF generating formaldehyds
gas. Mr. Horton thus explains 1t In a
local newspapers:
The process Is very simple. A wash
bowl or any similar vessel OF glass or
metal is placed in the center OF the
room, ear or ship to be tumigated. The
powder formaxol Is put in the vessel
and the formaldehyde solution poured
on It 1t only requires thlrty.iv Sec
onds to generate the gases. which Is
done by chemical reaction without
aid OF any appliance whatever or the
use of fire. The gases thus generate q
large volume In the short space OF thir-
ty.nve seconds and effectually Kill mi.

the short space or one hour. IL is a re-
ductioa or six TO seven hours from the
old process and Is or vital Importance

The date OF the original invention OF
glass has not been determined, but Il
was far back in the ages, for the art
was known TO the Egyptians $500
years ago. Some writer's believe that
glass was In more general use in the
ancient than I'm comparatively modern
times and affirm that among the Egyp-
tians It was used even as material for
collins. Glass has properties peculiar
ly its own. one or which Is that Il IS Of
no greater bulk when hot or in the
melted state than when cold. II is
transparent but the materials Of
which II is composed are opaque II
Is not malleable. but In ductllty II

when hot Is wonderful, and it IS so
elastic that IL can be blown TO a gauze-
ike thinness, so as to easily hoat upon
