The Dangers of Oil Fuel.

The loss of seven prominent young
people of Clarendon. Arkansas. by the
sudden explosion of the fuel tank of a
gasoline launch in which they We're en-
Joying an excursion on White river will
renew consideration of the important
matter of safeguarding life against such
occurrences wherever liquid fuel is used
for the operation of internal combustion
engines The tanks of motor cars some
times blow up as a result of slight leaks
and accidents of this kind are occurring
too frequently on the water.
The danger of fire and explosion is
doubtless the main reason why LIQUID fuel
Is not more generally used on merchant
vessels. Oil. naptha, gasoline and other
petroleum products are sent across the
sea IN large quantities. but there seems
to be an aversion to II use of oil for fuel
on shipboard, probably because all sail
ors dread fire. Few merchant vessels
are now using oil for fuel, although in
the Atlantic cost trade steamers could
be operated more ,cheaply by the utiliza-
ton Of liquid fuel
However, there will probably he Il
change in this regard very soon, as naval
experts are inclined to resort to the use
of liquid fuel in the development of
speed. The element of danger receives
less consideration on fighting ships than
among masters and crews of merchant
men, as everything goes" that will give
ship an advantage over a rival or an
enemy. Great Britain and Germany are
now using oil on their fast torpedo boats
and torpedo boat destroyers. and it is
expected that the liquid fuel will soon
be used in driving battleships and cruis-
ers.
Two agents of the British admiralty
have gone TO Canada for the purpose of
investigating the oil resources of the Do
miniOn as the admiralty would like IN
use colonial fuel in the event of a gen
eral adoption of oil fuel One of these
agents predicts that in three months
large passenger-carrying transatlantic
liner will begin the use of oil fuel for the
purpose of increasing her speed. With
these developments in view, such acct
dents as that reported from Clarendon.
Arkansas, should receive serious consid-

The Cost of Old Age Pensions.

Great Britain. which is already heavily
taxed. is uneasy over the prospect of n
huge increase of It's burden by reason of
the project of old age pensions.
To test the probable cost of the old age
pension scheme. Alfred Butterworth, a
Lancashire cotton manufacturer. offered
to give S1,25 To every one over 60 wears
of age in the towns of Oldham and Chad
derton. There are 10000 people in the
two towns. The gross amount which
Mr.. Butterworth was called upon to
pay was $3.50. He estimates that the
annual cost of a national old age pension
would be S104. 100000. Added to the
other taxes under which the people of
Great Britain have been grooming since
the South African war. the necessity for
raising this large suIa every year would
be keenly felt by the taxpayers of the
tight little island.
Germany's prospective deficit of S250.-
100000 in the next FIVE years is partly
due to the fact that costly widows
and orphans insurance system is to come
into effect in eighteen months.
There is an OLD story of a Russian
mujik who tried to lengthen blanket
by cutting a piece off the top and sew
ing ii on to the bottom. Governments
aiming at the abolition of poverty by the
disbursement of pensions are not unlike
the mujik They run the risk of making
paupers by exacting the heavy taxes
needed to pay their pensioners Even

Reckless Automobiling Rebuked.

At last a way has been found of at
tracing the attention of automobiles
who have been Indifferent TO speed limit
laws and to popular clamoT." Seattle
Washington. was recently the scene
of a proceeding in court which has made
a very decided impression upon the
minds and 1maginations of reckless auto
mohilists throughout the country. The
opening part of tire proceeding has often
been paralleled elsewhere--a rich man
called into court because his touring car
had run down and killed little girl 1t
was the outcome of the trial that was
unique. Guy G.. Stratton, lumberman
and millionaire, who was the defendant.
was found guilty of murder in the second
degree, the punishment for which is a
fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment for a
period of from one to twenty years.
There is apparently no escape for STRAIT
ton, despite his great wealth. He will
not only have to pay heavy fine-this
he expected. and does not mind-but he
will also have to go to prison for the
term of one year or longer as directed
by the Judge The state of Washington
is the first in the Union to proceed
against automobile speeding in way
that will effectively check this menace
to human life. The Stratton case is the
first in which the Washington statute

The Results of Mental Fire Drill.

Mrs. Wilcox had boundless faith in
the wisdom and general effectiveness Of
her husbands advice, and consequently
he had primed her with instructions for
any emergency that might arise when
he was absent. Among other things, he
had repeatedly warned her in case Of
ire to spread a rug on the blaze and
then telephone for the engines.
So deeply was this advice impressed
on her subconsciousness that her actions
the day of the fire in her home were
purely automatic.
She had bought a new hat. and the
room being rather poorly lighted, she
used the gas jet over her bureau as an
aid to studying the new millinery
achievement. Suddenly, as she was.
lifting the lace creation off her head, it
slipped and fell directly upon the blaz-
ing gas jet.
The expected happened. The hat
was soon burning fiercely, still on the
top of the gas pipe.
Mrs. Wilcox. mindful of Jacks adj
vice, grabbed a valuable Persian rug
on the floor. and spreading it carefully
over the lighted gas jet and flaming hat
rushed cut to the telephone.
At the doorway she collided with her
maid. Estelle, who. hearing the rapid
movements in the room, was coming to
learn the cause.
Running over to the bureau. the girl
turned out the gas, and throwing the
rug on the floor stamped out the flames
which had burned a hole through the
valuablt tapestry.

why didn't you turn out the gas?"

CALIFORNIA SWAPS DRINKS.
Peaceful Wine Topper of San Francisco
Succeeded by the Mescal Fiend.

One of the old San Franchises pecuiar
institutions was the vagrant locally
known as the wine bum. In the new city,
so comes the word, he is almost extinct,
and in his placehas arisen the mescal
fend.
Along the Barbary coast, on the edges
of Chinatown and particularly on Kear-
ny street at the point where that thor
oughfare completes its ascent of Tele-
graph hill. were dark little groggeries
where California wine, well doctored,
could be had for as little as ) cents a
quart, white or red. There you found
the wine topper sitting an hour over his
quart or two at a table in room with q
sanded floor, and little later, stopping
i'll Portsmouth square, you found the
wine topper there. keeping company with
the monument TO Stevenson. who once
loafed in the same plaza, and sleeping
away the afternoon sprawled on a bench.
Five cent wine seldom did more than
make man sleepy. but mescal, which is
pulaue brandy, distilled from the fer
mented sap of the century plant, is a
torrid and inflammatory drink. The mes
cal hend is loud citizen in San Fran
cisco these days. A san Francisco news
paper. reciting the progress of one down
town Kearny street the other day, every
now and then pausing to try to pull a
telegraph pole up by the roots quotes a
policeman as saying
