the discovery Of the poisonous nature
of the fumes has been investigated,
recovery has been prompt and the
victims were able to return to work
the next day.
In all Of these cases, however, re-
storative measures were commenced
Immediately on the men being over
come-the victims being men in
these cases-so that there is no evil
dence of what the fumes will do if
the person overcome by them is not
given immediate attention. That is,
there is no positive evidence so far
as the Montreal authorities know.
There have been cases where
deaths have occurred which, in light
of the discovery that has been made,
may safely be assigned to inhaling
gasoline fumes. One of these was the
case of a man who was painting or
cleaning the inside Of a gasoline tank
and was found dead. Another was
the case of a chauffeur who was
found dead in garage where there
was no ventilation and where the
fumes of gasoline were very strong
1t is pointed out that, in view of
the universal custom of using gaso-
line as cleaning material by women,
it would be well to see that the room
where it is used is well ventilated
with a steady current of fresh air.
There is no danger so long as the
fumes are not confined-just as there
is little or no danger of explosion
when the gas is allowed to mingle
freely with the air.

FUMES ARE POISONOUS
Gasoline fumes, in addition to be-
ing highly inflammable, are also poi
sonous to the human being.
This fact has only recently been
developed by medical authorities and
it is possible that it's discovery might
have the effect of explaining some
deaths that have been assigned as
probably due to other causes.
The fumes are poisonous under
certain conditions and it is well to
have these conditions thoroughly I'M
derstood, else there may be more
deaths from this cause. Combined
with enough air there is little or no
danger, but when person is subject
ed to the influence of the fumes in a
confined place the chances are that
they will be affected in way that
might have fatal results.
It is well known that, one of the
distillates of petroleum is rhigolene,
which is local anaesthetic, and that
another is cymogene, a fluid that can
be used to produce freezing. It is
curious, therefore, that the effects
of gasoline fumes are something sim
liar to anaesthesia produced by ether
or chloroform.
So far as. their Investigations have
gone the chemists and medical men
who have Investigated gasoline poi
soning have come to the conclusion
that it's effects are very much like
being overcome with an anaesthetic.
The victim suddenly collapses and
becomes unconscious. During the
period when consciousness is lost the
people behave very much as do peo-
pie who have been subjected to ether
as an anaesthetic. Some of them
fight and scream and some of them
are perfectly still.
AS in the case of an anaesthetic,
the recovery is dependent on the in

ITALIAN BEES ARE THE BEST
Abundant Evidence That Long
Tonsued Insects Do More Work on
Red Glover Than Others.

There seems to be abundant EVIL.
dence that the Italian bees do work
more upon red clover than the black
bees, and therefore that they do have
longer tongues. The project Of breed.
ing long-tongued bees that can reach
any or all Of the nectar cells in the
red clover does not seem to us i'm.
possible when we see what has been
accomplished in the line Of breeding
our domestic animals; our horses for
speed or draft. cows for milk. butter
or beef. sheep for wool or mutton, and
dogs for hunting or other purposes.
1t Is true that in these cases we can
control the mating as we cannot that
Of the queen bee, but when We ind
colonies that approach the type we
want, we can see that only those
colonies are allowed to produce drones
and queens. cutting out the drone
cells from them. and II we allow them
to send out a swarm. seeing they are
provided with a new queen from the
most desirable stock. 1t may be q
work Of years. and queens may be.

The ground for sweet clover seed
should be prepared the same as for

The surest way Of getting rid of

Neither corn nor millets are espe-

Grasses, as a rule, require less lime
