Facts About Gasoline.

The following are extracts from a
Gasoline bulletin issued by the Fire
Prevention committee, Chamber OF
Commerce, Rochester, N. Y. The sug.
gestions advanced should be of par
ticular interest to printers:
A pint of gasoline left open in a
basin in a room at a normal or aver.
age temperature will entirely evap.
crate in twenty-four hours. The gas.
oline vapor is heavier than the air and
sinks Immediately to the floor, and un
less it is disturbed by active air cur
rents will remain in the room for many
hours. One pint of gasoline will make
two hundred cubic feet of explosive
mixture. Without becoming too sci
entifc, it may be said that this gaso
line vapor is seven times more pow.
erful than gunpowder.
Every gasoline explosion and fire
that occurs in the home is due to ig-
norance and carelessness on the part
of the user Gloves must be cleaned
fabrics must be dipped in gasoline or
alcohol For that reason it is vitality
important that the user should have
all the information possible about the
danger incurred.
Gasoline should be used in open air
wherever possible, but if it must be
used in the house, all the windows
should be opened wide and sufficient
draft created to drive all the vapor
from the room. 1t is almost Grim
inal to use gasoline in the kitchen OF
other rooms where it is exposed to
fire. The vapor has been known to
jump thirty feet from a tank in the
open air and explode with such VIC
lence as to wreck the tank car and
burn all the buildings in the immediate
neighborhood.
1t is not necessary to touch match
to it. A spark from the heel of shoe
striking a tack or nail will explode
the vapor A lighted gas jet will pro,
duce the same result. Keep gasoline
away from every kind of flame, even
if that flame is enclosed as in a stove
or furnace.
Articles dipped, washed or soaked
in gasoline give off an explosive vapor
for hours after They ShOuld he thor
oughly aired before being used and
always kept away from exposed flame.

TAFT WANTS TO GO.
Congress Is Keeping Him Out of His
Vacation.

Washington, Aug. 26.-"I would like
to go to Beverly but then Washington
is not so bad after sll." is the way
President Taft was quoted by. friends
who talked with him today about the
adjournment of congress and the up
setting of his vacation plans.
Neither house nor senate assembled
on time today and neither mustered a
quorum. 1t was said only 46 senators
were in the city, lacking two of a
quorum. One of these. Senator Hey
burn, was reported i'll. The first tilt in
the senate was over the reading of the
journal of Saturdays all night session.
Senator LaFollette insisted on its being
read in full.
On motion sof Senator Warren the
senate receded, from its amendments
to the general deficiency bill, thus
meeting the demands of the house and
removing the last apparent obstacle to
adjournment.
This action struck from the bill the
claims of Oregon, Virginia, Maryland
and Texas and provision for one
months extra pay for employees at
the capital.

SAD STORY OF PARENTAL NEGLECT
FOUR HORRIBLY EMACIATED YOUNGSTERS FOUND IN THE
 HOUSE OF MYSTERY.

Bridgewater, Mass, Aug. 22.-The most amazing story of alleged par ental neglect ever brought to light in New England as discovered, yester" day, when four horribly emaciated children-one year old girl weighing less than 25 pounds were found in a cottage known as the House of Mystery" According to the agents of the society for the pre- vention of cruelty to children, the father, Luther Watkins, has fled anu cannot be found. He was the leader of a new religious sect. The mother has been summoned to appear in the Brockton police court, Monday.
 Meanwhile the police are searching for the children's father. Three of the children, hardly able to move, SD weak are they, were immediately taken to the state farm. They are white as chalk and their bones ap- pear to be breaking through their skin. They are 6, 8, and 12 years old. The fourth is a baby girl, eight months old. The baby was given 10 the mother, but with the certainty that it will receive good treatment as the mother is under guard.
 When the children were found they were on the verge of starvation and had no strength whatever, according to the S. P. c. c. agent who was in strumental in making the raid upon the house, accompanied by police man and se1ectman. The authorl- ties believe that the older children have been prisoners for more than year, being given a little food occas- ionaIly
