The Vacuum Cleaning Proce...


A description OF the vacuum cleaning
process which has been installed in a
new bank building sounds like dream
Of Utopia and suggests all sorts Of
blessed possibilities to the martyrs Of
the dustpan and the broom. whose war
against dirt is as weary as 1t is inef
fectual. The center Of the system Is q
tank In which a vacuum Is maintained
by means of an electric pump and from
which pipes are conducted throughout
the building In the various rooms
there are taps to which a flexible hose
may be attached. and at the other end
Of the hose Is a nozzle. through which
the dust and dirt in a room are sucked
In without communicating the atmos-
phere. With this system the entire
building can be cleaned in three hours
at cost of less than 500. the results
being incomparably better than those
which could be accomplished by hand.
It will probably be a long time before
such methods reach the homes OF the
people. but the housekeeper who is CIV
en- to dreaming dreams will doubtless
picture to herself time when the city
will bring vacuum pipes into the
houses. just as il now puts In water
pipes. and when the terrors of cleaning
will be relegated to the remote past

Some Of the Most Important Treaties
In Modern History.
III Russians and japanese really ne
gotiate their peace agreement ut Wash
ington the treaty will be known as the
treaty Of Washington" Among the
most important OF the worlds treaties
are the following: The treaty Of West
phalia. 16iS. which ended the Thirty
Years war. The peace Of the Pyrenees.
1859. definitely marked the fall Of
Spain from its position as the leader Of
Europe. A historian says: when Spain
signed with France the peace of the
Pyrenees she signed away with 1t the
last remnant Of the supremacy she had
exercised In Europe. France. the vic
tor. took the place Of Spain in the coun-
ellis of the continent" BY the peace Of
Augsburg. 1865, religious freedom was
assured to Germany and the wars be-
tween Protestants and Catholics came
to an end. The treaty of Utrecht in
1I13 terminated the war Of the Spanish
succession.
A number Of the most important trea-
ties in modern history are known as
the treaties OF Paris. They are six in
number and bear the dates OF 1863
1883. 1914. 1915. 1855 and 1898 The
first Of the series marked the end of the
Seven Years war. Among other things
1t provided for the cession to Great
Britain Of Canada and the region east
of the Mississippi river. The treaty Of
Paris. Sept. 3. 1888. between Great
Britain and the United States marked
the close OF the American Revolution
and recognized the independence of the
colonies. The aggressions OF France
under Napoleon found their conclusion
in the treaties Of Paris of 1914 and
1915. by the second Of which France
was compelled to pay an indemnity to
the allies amounting In all to near
$500. 100000.
In 1856 a treaty OF Paris was con-
cluded among the powers ut the close
Of the Crimean war. II provided that
the Black sea should be neutralized and
that II should be thrown open to the
merchant marine of every nation. The
treaty OF Paris Of Dec 10. 1898. termi-
mated the Spanish American war; Spain
relinquished Its sovereignty In Cuba

TOADSTOOLS KILL
FOUR PERSONS
Jersey Family Ate Poisonous Fungi
at Birthday Party.
ONLY TWO CHILDREN ESCAPE

Philadelphia. July 25. - Toadstools
mixed with mushrooms and eaten at
birthday party has caused the death Of
four of the six members of the family
OF Joseph Franzor, farmer. who re
sided near Landisville, N. ]. The dead
are Joseph Franzor. aged 3S years: his
wife. aged 30. and two daughters. aged
and years. The remaining members
OF the family-two boys. aged and 4
years-owe their lives to the fact that
they did not partake of the poisonous
mixture.
Franzor was a miner at Leadville,
Col. Last March he purchased a So
acre farm near Landisville with money
provided by his wife's brother. who Is
at Leadville. Among the things raised
was a small quantity of mushrooms.
Last Friday a week the family decided
to have a birthday party in honor Of
the 2-year-old daughter. Mushrooms
was one of the dishes to be served. and
the 7-year-old daughter said she knew
where mushrooms could be found in
the woods nearby. She gathered some
of the fungi. and the mother. supposing
they were mushrooms. added them to
the mushrooms taken from their own
soil. Only the members Of the family
were present. and only four of the six
ate mushrooms. During the night the
father. mother and two little girls be-
came i'll. The next morning a doctor
was sent for and diagnosed the cases
as that of hiccoughs. All four contin-
ued to grow worse, and on Monday the
two children died. A few days later
the parents were brought to the Med
leo Chirurgical hospital in this city.
where 1t was discovered that they were
suffering from toadstool poisoning. The
greatest interest was taken in the cases
by the hospital physicians. but despite
their efforts the husband died Sunday
night and the wife yesterday. Mrs.
Franzor was unconscious almost con-
tinuously from the time she became
i'll. Neighbors at Landisville have
taken charge of the two orphans and
will communicate with their uncle at
