Interesting legal Question.

Az noted in last weeks issue Of the
STANDARD, by the terms of the will oil
the late Mrs. Henrietta Quale, certain
legacies were bequeathed to parties
who were in no wise related to the
deceased. Under the State inherit
ance tax law, these legacies must pay
tax of six per cent. on the amounts
received, respectively. According "a
all accounts the estate 10 amply solv.
ent. A legal point has been raised
which may be Of interest to estates
similarly situated, whether this tax
shall be paid out of the general assets,
or shall it become charge against the
legacies in severalty, and be deducted
therefrom before payment Again
suppose that 10 the event there should
not be adequate assets in the matter
OF any estate adm Mustered, with which
to meet leeacies Of q similar charac'
ter, and the legatees only received

How to Find q Gas Leak.
/ the PHILADELPHIA Record

From the Philadelphia Record.
The folly of hunting for leak In a gas
pipe with a lighted match is not so much
because of the danger of an explosion as of
other damage, as is shown by the e=pe-
rience of a West Philadelphia householder
last week One or two small leaks we've
detected by going all the pipes ara
holding a lighted match to them. The smell
of gas ceased, but was replaced a few hours
later by the smell of burning wood. An
other visit to the cellar showed charred
floor joist a little distance above a gas pipe.
There was no apparent cause for this until
a very close examination discovered that q
tiny Jet of gas was issuing from the pipe
beneath the beam. 1t was lighted, but
was 50 small as to be blue in color ana
nearly invisible. 1t had been lighted by
the match used in the first investigation.
but had not been noticed.
IF that leak had happened to be in lead
joint instead of iron connection, said
a gas man. there would probably have
been work for the fire department. The
smallest possible jet of lighted gas issuing
through lead will in time heat and melt the
lead and make the leak larger. until big
fame is issuing. This may make fire
hours LATER In the dead of night or at a
time when no one is in the house. The only
proper way to look for these very small
