Men Tear at Bars

Six of the nine men burned to
death trapped behind barred windows
on the lower floor. These victims
being shut in by the flames, strug-
gled insanely at the bars
As the flames approached they
actually roasted to death in sight of
the street Their horrible cries Of
agony could be heard blocks away.
The work of the fire was so fast that
aid was impossible. A full realization
of the predicament and the utter
hopelessness of escape brought them
face to face with deaths misty form
and the frenzied men gave vent to
horrible cries. Stout hearted fire
men hardened by years of service
who had been in contact with an
guish and distress We're sickened at
the unequalled exhibition of human
suffering.

RAPID CONCRETE LAYING
IN PANAMA CANAL

hington.-Concrete for the huge
locks of the Panama canal is being
laid at the rate of nearly twelve hun
dred cubic yards per day. More than
$4,000 yards have been laid at the
Gatun lock and more than 5000
yards at Pedro Miguel. AS yet this
important feature of the constructive
work of the canal is hardly under
way. When the handling and mixing
plants are all running smoothly 1t is
probable that the daily average will be
doubled. The Panama railroad is now
busy carrying crushed stone and sand
in addition to hauling the spoil from
the steam shovels.

Dangerous Nature.

The dangerous nature OF water Eas
was early recognized by the state board
OF health Of Massachusetts. and We find
that a statute was enacted IN ISS5 pro-
hibiting the distribution OF a gas con
tanning more than 10 per cent carbon
monoxide. The relative danger from coal
and water gas also is strikingIy shown
in the thirty-foUrth report OF the Mas
sachUsetts state board OF health for the
year 1872. In thirteen years Os7s-1ssD.
before the use Of water gas. there were
eight deaths from poisoning By Mum-
mating gas. In the fourteen years GSS4-
1909 following the introduction OF water
gas there we're 45s deaths from this
cause
The dangerous character of water gas
OF a mixture Of gases with a high per
centage Of carbon monoxide. such as is
furnished b. the Washington Gaslight
Company. should be known 70 every
consumer Of the product. Every pre-
caution should be taken 10 see that all
appicauCes used FOR heating ard light
ing purposes are OF the most approved
type and "a the best possible condition
when installed. and thereafter maintain
ed n a clean and satisfactory condition
Provision should be made for the re-
movaI of products Of combustion BY
means of a f1e OF connection with a
window. this especially applies 10 all
forms Of heating apparatus. The de-
lection Of the slightest od0r from es-
Gaping gas should be q warning, and
every effort made 90 discover and Ger
rect the trouble.
There should be. as recommended by
Coroner hewitt, a rigid inspection be
fore installation OF all fixtures BIZ the in
spector q plumbing OF some other desig-
mated official. and If not already provided
by law an ordinance should be passed
prohibiting the installation of fixtures
until so passed By said Official IN the
installation. The cocks should be suf7-

OF accidentally opening one when closing
