Dust In Flour Mills.

It has been many years since there
mas been an explosion of -four 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 former
carelessness in providing receptacles
for the dust has been succeeded by q
system of dust catching and disposal
which makes -four mill perfectly sa fe
from this danger. In old fashioned
milling methods -four dust was turned
into a room provided for the purpose,
but large quantities were allowed to
accumulate on the mill floor and be.
come distributed over the machinery,
When these deposits were disturbed
the atoms foated about in the atmo.
sphere, creating danger from fire and
making it difficult for workmen ia
breathe. Asthma frequently resulted
from this condition, and incipient ex'
plosions were not infrequent.-North'

AnaIxxina ! Name,


When Poincares, the famous mathe-
matician, was formally received into
the French academy Frederic Mason
in welcoming him gave the desirable
mathematical tinge to his address by
questioning the correctness Of the
name. COMMERCIALLY, he said. the no.
ton of a square point was intolerable
Therefore it was obvious that ''point
care" could not have been the true
derivation Of the name. 1t must have
been "pont carre." The philologists
took M. Mason seriously and began
poking around in their musty records
for better original source than either
point carre' or ''pont carre." And
they soon found it in the person Of
Petrus Pugniquadrati, student Of rec
ord in the year 1903. Furthermore, in
1418 French namesake Of Pugniquad-
rad appeared in the person of one
Jehan Poingquarre. From all of which
it seemed plain that the original Poin-
cares were not square points. but
clenched fists.-New York Post.

When The Devil Got Sick

To wait the competition of NUM-
cipal ownership before conducting a
privately owned public utility pro-
perly is a dangerous procedure. Pro-
badly it was the only procedure left
to the San Francisco Street Rail-
road Company. But it was the
strongest argument Of the effective
ness of municipal ownership that
could be made
1t has that feature in addition to
its proof that when a utility goes
in for politics and violates it's con-
tracts, it is almost impossible for it
to regain the peoples confidence.
The San Francisco incidents
should have their value to public
utility companies elsewhere. Perhaps
the knowledge that the people can
protect themselves will be sufficient
without the actual resort to public
ownership. If the day is near when
all public utility service will pass
from private to public ownership
and operation, the private interests
will have only themselves to blame.
The change will be made in spite of
the public's fear of politics in NUM-
cipal service 1t will come, if it does
come, because interested manage
ment has forced the alternative

Ratified THE BANDIT.
Curious Experience With Band Q
Mexican Cutthroats. ....1,s,,.

Curious Experience With Band Of
Mexican Cutthroats. ..l,~.s ,..
Everybody in Mexico goes about arm
ed. Even the passenger trains on most:
OF the railroads are guarded by detach-
ments Of soldiers who ride in special
cars. while on every station platform
are seen rural guards armed with cara
bines ready for an emergency. For
eigners have to adapt themselves to
the custom Of going about armed or
else make themselves unfavorably con-
spicuous in the eyes Of the" natives.
It was novel experience. however, to
see railroad surveyors, when occupied
with their peaceful work, armed to the
teeth with knives and revolvers. As a
matter of. fact, arms were rarely re-
quired in Mexico as q means Of de.
Tense. As everywhere else, it is well
to remember. however, to. keep cool
and forget that you are armed in case
of a quarrel; : ~.
In this connection the principal locat-
ing engineer of the road had an expe-
Renee at which he displayed some
nerve. He had to make a reconnois-
sance Of mountain range called the
Sierra Gorda, said to be infested with
cutthroats. He was warned to let the
district alone, but duty prevailed. and
he went When reaching a rancho
near the summit at shutdown he and
his attendant were met BY four men
whose law breaking propensities re-
quired no further introduction than
their faces. They took hold Of the
party's horses, told the engineer and
his attendant to dismount and made
no effort to conceal the fact that they
were there for business.
The engineer complied smilingly, and,
going up to the leader, mystifed that
individual by asking him to step aside.
II am told that it is unsafe to travel
in these mountains" he whispered,
will you not therefore oblige me by
taking care of my property and allow
US to remain under your roof until
morning." With that he handed over
his watch, money and other things,
and the astonished thief. who was
probably for the first time in his life
treated to the novelty Of being trust
ed, not only let the engineer have the
best in his house, but handed him back
his property in the morning and fur
nished him with two cutthroats to
serve as an escort during the rest of
his journey.-Max T. Schmidt in En-

on in the Methodist church as the
result of the transfer by Bishop Den
ny and his cabinet Of Rev. S. R. Belk
from the Park street church, this
city, to the presiding eldership of the
Gainesville district.
The Park Street Messenger" a
prominent local monthly Methodist
publication, attacks the transfer of
the minister as "autocratic and wan
ton" and goes further and condemns
the system which made possible the
alleged arbitrary transfer.
1.-THE caprices of the bishop and
cabinet are Fastening the coming of
Congregational Methodism," it is
further declared.
The leveling of such an attack
against the bishop and the church
system is something new in Metho-
dist annals, and a sharp division OF
sentiment has already taken, place

WASHINGTON ORDERED IT
CAPE COD CANAL, HOWEVER, IS
JUST NOW BEING BUILT.
4 Big Engineering Project of Which
But Little Has Been Heard Is
Now Nearing Completion.

George Washington ordered it
hack in 1775. 1t will be completed
in 1914. 1t has not taken all the
12S intervening years to complete the
cane Cod canal. Other things hin
dered. The actual work viii! have
reouired only five years.
In the first place, Washington,
soon after issuing in 1775 his order
TO dig the canal, found himself with
war on his hands which was suffi-
GENTLY interesting to keep him en-
crossed for several years and all the
other able4bodied men in the colo
MES.
Washington, whose early training
as A surveyor gave him a natural
bent toward such works as this canal,
SENS to have had a natural leaning
toward the construction of internal
waterways. Since it was he who first
designated the route of the Erie ca
nal The order which he issued in
1775 was:
"Excavate as speedily as consistent
p passage across Cape Cod from
Rarnstable to Monument bay to give
MS greater security in navigation and
more advantage over the enemy.-G.
Washington, Commander-in-chlef
I. S. A."
Nor was Washington the first to
see the need for the short ditch to
detach the glacial formation, Cape
Cod. from the mainland. From 1920
on seamen coasting by the promon-
tory. which has been a veritable
graveyard for ships, have talked
about the digging of an eight-mile
canal to save a 144-mi1e detour.
It remained, however, for a goth
century construction company to do
the actual work, and now the job
nears completion. August Belmont
heads the company, which has In
vested $12,00O,000 in the work.
That it is conceived of as a paying
institution is shown by the invest
ment of sagacious business men of so
much money. 1t is planned to charge
a toll of five cents a gross ton on
large vessels and 10 cents a gross
ton on smaller vessels. About 1000
vessels round the cape each year now
for Boston or New York, about 70
each day, so the project promises
profits.
So much attention has been paid
to the Panama canal that the Cape
Cod work has escaped notice. 1t is
really big project It is eight miles

the bottom and 200 feet wide at the

NO LIQUOR FOR A WET POINT
The Law and the Railroads Make
Things Embarrassing for Wichita
Saloon Keepers.

| AUSTIN, Texas.-There is a strip
of wet territory near Burkburnett.
Wichita county, which is completely
surrounded by dry territory. The
liquor dealers in this section have
been licensed to do business and hold
permits from the comptroller, but
they can get no liquor with which to
carry on their business.
Business interests not having prov
en- fruitful enough to railroad compa-
MES no stations are located in the
territory, nor does the railroad pass
through that section. All liquor
shipments formerly consigned to this
strip of wet territory had, of neces-
sity, to be delivered to a station in
dry territory.
Recent liquor laws, however, make
it a felony to deliver intoxicating
liquor in dry territory. The over
land haul by wagon would entail too
great an expense to make the sale of
liquor in the wet territory profita-
BILE.
Liquor dealers in the wet strip
have sued out mandamus proceedings
to compel the railroad company,
through its agent at Burkburnett, in
the dry territory, to deliver liquor
to them intended for their
business in the wet territory.
