By the explosion of vulcanizing machine in the workshop of the Todd Rubber Co.'S auto supply station at 504 Bank street, New London, the store was wrecked Thursday after noon. Every pane of glass in the store was smashed. Neither of the two per sons in the store was seriously in jured.
 A large rubber tire had been in the vulcanizer room and Herbert Brown, who was employed in the workshop, was near when the vulcanizer explod- ed Brown was hurled against a work bench. His back was sprained and he was badly unnerved.
 '. Miss Molly Greenblatt, employed as stenagrapher in the store, was en- crossed in her work when the explo- sion came. She ran onto the sidewalk and tainted from fright, but revived and: appeared unhurt a few seconds later.
 The vu1canizer weighed about 300 pounds and rested on iron legs close to the west end wall of the building. The process of vulcanizing is obtained by the means of steam, generated in the hollow castings from the heat of a gas burner. The vulcanizer is kept normally about half full of water. The pressure of steam is regulated by a safety valve. It is presumed that this safety valve failed to work and the steam expanding beyond the limit at which the cast iron jackets would conflne it, caused the explosion.
 A section of the vulcanizer shot up- ward and broke a hole through plas- tering and lath of the ceiling about four feet in one direction and two feet across. Tn other parts of the walls and cealing plastering was torn from laths.
 It was estimated that the damage to the building would not exceed $500, This does not include the value of the Vuicanizer or the damage to stock and fixtures which may be disclosed mn closer. arannina finn

Dog Showing a Style Of Muzzle That Really

This branch OF the work Is car
ried out by the Society for the
Prevention OF Cruelty to Animals.
Their dog-catchers succeeded in
capturing and destroying 45,136
stray dogs, but according to a care
full estimate Of those who are best
informed there are still an army Of
$4,000 stray dogs at large in the
city.
In the past fifteen years, 129
human beings in New York City
have died hideous death from
hydrophobia, because these dogs
have been allowed to roam the
streets unmolested and licensed
and house.dogs have been allowed
on the public streets uncontrolled
and unmuzzled.
The success Of the first year Of
the dog-muzzling law will. 1t is
hoped, result In an even more
stringent enforcement Of 1t in the
future.

be added, have been thoroughly in

raised against the Health Com.
missioner when the muzzling.law
was first enforced, rabies can be
stamped out by muzzling dogs and
dogs can be muzzled in a humane
way.
AS matter OF fact, ii was fully
demonstrated in England several
years ago that the proper regula-
ton of dogs Is all that Is neces.
sary to stamp out this dreadful
scourge.
Before 1889, rabies had been
prevalent in England for many
years. In that year, there were
312 cases among dogs andssthirty
among human beings. A muzzling
law then went into effect and In
1892 there were only thirty-four
cases in dogs and only six in
human beings. The law was then
relaxed and almost Immediately
the old conditions were revived. In
1895. there were CTS cases Of rabies
In dogs and twenty cases OF
human hydrophobia. Again the
law was invoked and this time II
was enforced more vigorously than
ever, with the astonishing result
that since 1898 Great Britain has
not had single case Of hydro
phobia among human beings. and
since 1902 not single case of
rabies in dogs.
1t was because OF this wonderful
demonstration Of the effectiveness
OF dog-muzzling. that DR.. Gold
water was determined to enforce
the law he succeeded In putting
upon the statute-books, despite the
storm or protest his crusade
aroused among iIl-advised and mis-
guided individuals.
Mrs. Mary Knoblauch, wife OF
a New York banker and owner OF
bulldog, was one of several who
sought to hamper and impede the
Health Departments crusade to
stamp out hydrophobia. She de-
liberatetly invited arrest by ap-
pcaring on the public streets with
her dog unmuZZled and when she
was arraigned in police court,
she obtained writ Of habeas
corpus and had the matter taken
before the New York Supreme

human rabies, So % per cent In
the number Of cases Of rabies In
dogs and about II per cent In the
number of dog bites.
These facts and figures are parti-
cularly significant in the light Of
the fact that the law was not very
thoroughly enforced. although the
Health Department did all 1t could
do with its limited facilities and its
other duties. For instance. only
$1,000 of New York's 10000
licensed dogs we're properly muz-
zled, while only 45,136 OF New
York's stray dog population OF
5000 were seized and destroyed.
II all the licensed dogs had been
muzzled as the law requires and all
the stray dogs had been picked up
and destroyed as the law author.
ICES, there can be little doubt that
the results would have been even
more TeHlaT kdDle.
The careful census of New
York's dog population revealed
that there are approximately
$4,000. Every one of them is apt
TO bite. Every one of them is apt
to contract rabies and communi-
cate 1t to the first child or adult 1t
may attack. Every case of hydro
phobia results fatally. Medical
science has not yet found a way
to cope with the disease once it has
set in, although the Pasteur treat
ment, if administered promptly
enough, is very successful in pre-.
venting the onset of the disease.
Hydrophobia results in the most
agonizing form of death to which
human beings are subject
Some idea of the terrible menace
of New York's 225,000 dogs may
be gathered from the following con-
siderations: IF these dogs were
all combined into a single creature
il could straddle the New York
City Hall. The giant canine would
be l22 feet long and 81 feet
inches high, and it would weigh
$3.50 tons!
His head. from tip of nose to
back end OF skull would measure
30 feet 6 inches. His upper tusk,
or canine tooth, would be four
feet long from base to tip, cxclu-
sive OF root. and two feet thick at
lis base. and its lower tusk would
be 3 feet 6 inches long and feet
3 inches thick. Its jaw would be
