Dust In Flour Mills

1t has been many years since there
has been an explosion of flour dust re-
sulting in serious loss of life and
great property damage. This is due
to the fact that millers have learned
more about the explosive nature of
finely powdered material, and the Tor
mer carelessness in providing recep-
tacles for the dust has been succeed
ed by system of dust catching and
disposal which makes a flour mill per-
fectly safe from this danger. In old
fashioned milling methods flour dust
was turned into room provided for
the purpose, but large quantities were
allowed to accumulate on the mill
floor and become distributed over the
machinery. When these deposits were
distributed the atoms floated about in
the atmosphere creating danger from
fire and making 1t difficult for work
men to breathe. Asthma frequently
resulted from this condition, and In
cipient explosions were not in

Rain Saves ROckland a Bad Fire

The fact that the roofs of all build
ings had been thoroughly soaked by
the rain of the past few days saved
the Crocketts Point district of Rock
land from a serious conflagration, Oct.
II, when property valued at $4,000
was destroyed. The fire, believed by
the police to have been set started in
the kiln shed of A. c. Gay & Co, and
high windearried it rapidly to near
by buildings. The shed and two lime
kilns owned by the Gay concern were
burned, together with seven kilns and
large shed owned by the Rockland
& Rockpoprt Lime Co. and about 1000
feet of trestle-work on the LIMERICK
railway. A coal shed owned by

and tried to set them afire.

ing he has gone into the woods To
work. The letter was evidently writ

he left home after dinner, on the day
he went out of town, he did not
know of the opportunity to go into
the woods and did not have time to
go home and tell his wife. He said
he had no intention OF deserving her
and would send money to her just
as soon as possible. Meantime, the

Mexico the guerrilla warfare is car

there would be less of gross I'M
