Atmospheric Poisoning.

The protests against the automo'
bile omnibuses OF London have re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
" among the high chemical authori.
ties OF the world, and his condemna-
ton Of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless lnyen-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline In
these motors throws of vast Quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some OF these
are absolutely poisonous and all In
furious. He holds that the air OF Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst OF all.
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that SCI
ence can improve motors, he declares
that 1t Is impossible for it to burn pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

main highway. They would os at
least a half OF q mile In advance OF any
other picket OF their own people.
Sergean. Morton was deeply angry
at being sent on this duty. He said
that he was overworked. There were

this he said to the corporal, who u.s.
tened attcntively, giving grunts OF re-
spectEll assent.
On the way to this post, two privates
took occasion to drop casually to the
rear and pilfer in the orchard OF de-
serted plantation. When the sergeant
discovered this absence, he grew black

orchard, hurriedly picking fruit from
the ground and examining 1t within

beseeching cries OF their comrades
stirred The criminals more than did the
barking CT the sergeant. They ran to
rejoin the squad, while holding their
loaded bosoms and with their mouths
open with aggrieved explanations.
