Dangers That Beset Those Who Toll
In Aikal; Factories.

Do you like your work?
When you are inclined to be discon.
tented with it think of the alkali work
ers. They die by inches from the mo-
ment they enter the factories. Things
are not so bad now as they once were.
but they are bad enough still.
In what is known as the ''black ASH
department In chemical works big
open watts of caustic are used. The
splashing of this caustic sends drops
of the burning fluid flying through ths
air. A drop falling upon naked flesh
causes bad burn. A drop in the eye
Will blind 1t forever IL the STUFF is not
removed within few seconds.
A black ash worker in Welsh al
kali factory, toiling at the caustic pots,
received an invisible globule of this
deadly spray in his eye. There was
no water at hand with which to wash
out the caustic. 1t seemed that he
must surely go blind. But one Of his
mates seized on the injured man, who
was quite frantic with pain. lifted his
eyelid with forefinger and thumb and
with his tongue licked out the caustic.
He burned his tongue badly, but he
saved the other poor fellows sight.
Another of the dangers that beset the
alkali worker-and the worst of them
all-is poisoning by chlorine acid gas.
This gas. which comes Off the lime In
thin green fumes, is known to the men
and joked about as Roger" A full in
draft of the gas kills a man In an
hour -Pearson's Weekly.
