Shun Rubbish Heaps.

An oily rag or oily waste never
should be thrown into rubbish heap.
MANY fires start in closets from such
rags after use in oling floors or polish
ing furniture: and factory fires are oc'
curing constantly from spontaneous
ignition of turpentine and llnseed OIL
oh rags and waste. There are not
many men who give the same though,
to this danger in their homes that
they give TO it in their factories, where
metal waste cans with selfclosing COW
ers are generally provided. AT the
time of spring renovation, however,
il is well to keep an eye upon the
domestic establishment with this
hazard in mind, as servants are gen
orally quite irresponsible. Products
of petroleum such as kerosene, gaso-
Iene and naphtha, although they do not
ignite spontaneously, have hazard
of their own. and rags soaked in them
should be carefully looked after.
house rule should be made that all
greasy or oily rags be burned without
delay.
In the development of rapid transit
along the lines of trolley cars and
automobiles, the problem of flying
dust has been immeasurably intensi-
fed and confronts all lovers of clean
liness. Ordinary broom sweeping
simply stirs it up to settle again on
floors and furniture. The vacuum
cleaner has not yet developed to the
point at which its constant use is
commercially eXpedient. An endless
procession of floor oils and sweeping
compounds has therefore come upon
the market, some of which are not
hazardous, but others of which are
already demonstrating their ability TO
burn the buildings in which they are
used.

A School Mars Experiment.

Prof John H. Bryan, principal OF
the ward schools of Marion, Ind, VINO
evidently looks after the physical as
well as the mental welfare of his pu-
pills. stated at a recent meeting of
school superintendents that twice re-
Gently he had found mops used by the
ianitor in oiling the floor, burned to
ashes. il being evident that the build
ing each time narrowly escaped being
fred. To prove the nature OF the
trouble Professor Bryan saturated
several mops with the oil and hung
them where there were no infiammd-
bic surroundings. A mop saturated
with oil at p. m, was found to be
very warm at I a. m, and in one in
stance Professor Bryan watched a
mop until it burst into flames. II is
possible that the FIRE which caused the
frightful holocaust at the CollinWood
school NAV have started in this way.
At any rate Professor Bryan's expert
ment proves that the apprehension of
many people regarding the hazard OF
these floor oils is well founded, and
that care should be taken to make sure
they are harmless before their use is
introduced in buildings, especially
such buildings as schoolhouses.-Dsi
