is benzene or benzol, and 1t is a poi

which is practically innocuous: This
instance, cited by DR.. Alice Hamil-
ton, who is leading authority on in
idustrial hygiene, illustrates the po-
tency of benzol:
"In one of the great steel mills of
PENNSYLVANIA two men were sent 10
change coils in a benzene (benzoD
tank which had been thoroughly
blown out with steam. One OF them
was not affected at all; the other was
overcome by the fumes and died.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Is it possible for parents who are
both distinctly brown-eyed to have
bIue-eyed children. T. L. F.
Answer-An eyes are brown. If
there is no pigment in the iris (the
ring around the pupiD the individual
is called an 7albino. If there Is very
little brown pigment, the eyes are
called "blue." II little more pig
ment, gray" II still more. "brown." !"
The most deeply pigmented irises
give the Illusion of BLACK" eyes. The
wonder is that children SO frequently
do have eyes pigmented about in the
same degree as their parents, or not
greatly unlike the eyes of their par
ents. 1t is not surprising that blue
eyed children are born Of brown-eyed
parents, as is often the case. All
eyes are blue at birth, the pigmenta-

MANS DUTY TO HOME TOWN
Civic Obligations Are Not Always as
Thoroughly Recognized az
They Ought to Be.

There is no country in the world in
which wealth so generally recognizes
its obligations to the public as In
America. Vast sums have been devot-
ed to public use, to the great benefit
of the public. But municipalities have
not figured largely as beneficiaries,
though they have to some extent. In
dianapolis has by no means been for
gotten. And it surely ought to be
pleasure for any person with the
right feeling toward the city or town
in which he has lived to do something
with his money to make life in 1t
happier and pleasanter. The obliga-
tion of man to his town is like that
which he owes to his church or his
university, and 1t should be as gladly
performed. This feeling is becoming
more widely prevalent in indianapolis,
and 1t will bring results in which all
will rejoice. Civic life can be made
better, and a proper civic pride devel-
oped In this way that will be worth
much.-Indianapoli News.

Life In Bla City Not Best.

Cream will rise to the surface any
where. says Mr.. Box, and the institu-
tions Of the big city will reach out
for their captains only where they
lind quality. He says of the aspiring
youth:
Let him use the great city as a
market In which to buy or sell; to
see and profit; let him use it as place
to go for good time If he chooses.
Let him bring back with him the best
within 1t to serve his own community,
hut leave behind him its turmoil and
restlessness that vexes the spirit and
makes the young old. Let him think
twice and thrice before he raises his
children with the ghastly memory of
steam radiator in city fiat"
Which is pretty good advice after
all.

May Be New Gold Discovery.

An old gold miner who has just
come from the gold claims on the
Red Deer river, about 30 miles from
Red Deer, says that there are now
about thousand claims staked along
the river and there is much talk of
big developments. Several samples of
gravel have been tested out, and fairly
good showings obtained, which are con-
sidered sufficient to warrant further
development, although 1t is generally
felt that the gravel will be more likely
to pay through its platinum content.
than through the gold recovered from
the assays. The gold so far recovered
is light in quantity, md assays are
being sent to Philadelphia. New Jer-
sey and Spokane for testing-Mon.

Interesting Story Of How Youngsters
Brought About the Regeneration
Of Their Village.

Twelve boys who started out in a
semi-playful mood under the name of
"Dirty Dozen" finally were led on un-
til they had cleaned up whole COM
munity of 1,500 people physically and
morally. At last their name was
changed to "Diligent Dozen"
There was Il quiet little mother of
one of the twelve hidden behind the
scenes, who never appeared publicly
to be connected with the affair, but
at whose house there was mysteri-
Gus generator of brilliant ideas for
such boys. The twelve "D's" met
both Friday evening and Sunday af-
ternOon for conference, writes William
A. McKeever in the Chicago American.
The town cleanup of the boys was
worked in accordance with the rules
of what we call good psychology"
They met with the proprietors of the
main business section, two blocks in
length, and agreed to clean up the
streets in front of them and keep them
clean for a year, provided these men
would do likewise with their store
fronts and interiors. The general
transformation began with A rush.
saturday morning early the dozen
were there with sweepers, shovels and
wheelbarrows, and by noon the street
looked strangely new.
The week following soap, water,
paint and putty were brought freely
into use on the old store buildings.
Old tobacco tags, circus bills and no.
tices of painkillers were raked down
and burned. About one-third Of the
display windows-under the influence
of this revival" were torn out and re-
placed with plate glass fronts. Many
Interior improvements followed
The school buildings and church
structures were next attacked by the
DIS" The school officials were re-
quested to clean and repair the build
ings, and the teacher gave a half-holi-
day so that pupils might thus review
the school yards. The dozen them
selves took care Of the vacant lots on
which the church buildings stood.
