Oil Siphoned Out. - Nearly $1,000 |
worth of fuel oil could be seen on the |
Sylvan waters yesterday and Deere IL
Co, of this city. is the loser. To be
exact, about $4,000 gallons of fuel oil
was siphoned out of the Deere 4 Co.
oil tanks during the night and, as the
market price today is about 81 cents
gallon, approximately 1875 worth OF
oil is flowing down the Mississippi.
The heavy rain storm is probably the
cause of the loss. The oil tanks have
an overflow pipe which is connected
directly with the main sewer. 1t is
thought that because of the heavy
rain which fell so suddenly, the water
backed up in the sewer and finally
into the overflow pipe connected with
oil tanks and then when the water
began to recede, a siphon was created
/ and every bit of oil went out of the
tanks.

usual fine has been $12O5, including

III these cases because it was evident
that the men were driving faster than

out the, interesting statement from
Secretary of State Knox, that, but for
the fact that the arbitration treaties
were halted in the Senate, my friend,
the German Ambassador and myself
would have concluded a similar treaty
with Germany, 1t has been surmised
that such treaty was in process Of

that so positive a declaration had been

The declaration of the Secretary Of

The people of Rouen hold her very

The surrounding country is extreme

WET CHEMICALS FOR FUEL
Inventor Thinks He Has Found Sub.
stitute for CoaI-Liquid Used to
Heat Boiler.

Darby, Pa.-After working on the
principle for long time, George
Smith, a well known hot water heater
expert, believes he has perfected
compound that will do away with coal
as q medium for heat.
Smiths invention, which he says
will heat a house at a temperature of
70 degrees in winter and maintain it
at that in the coolest winter weather,
is an elaboration Of the principle of
heat generation in water by chemical
combustion.
The best units generated play on a
wrought iron boiler, instead of cast
iron, and thus have the advantage Of
heating water quicker, because this
metal is not as thick and yet it is
stronger than cast iron. Once the wa
ter is heated to certain point it be-
gins to circulate through the pipes.
