U. s. Expects to Find It Root of Explosions in
 Grain Elevators
MAY BE USED IN WARFARE
Threshing Machines Are Equipped to Prevent
 Spark From Static

| WASHINGTON, March l6. - Study of dust explosions in mines, mills and grain elevators by Federal chemists has led to the discovery of an explo- sixe fully as potent as TINT, which may be developed as a tremendously destructive agent in case of war.
 Experimenters in the Bureau of Chemistry of the Department of Agri- cuture are able to force a small quan- tity of plant dust into miniature building, generate an electric spark within and see the structure blown to | fragments
 Provided proper mixture of plant dust and air is obtained an explosion 1 invariably follows the application of fire. For experiments to demonstrate the danger of accumulations of plant dust a candle is placed in a model elevator. When dust is injected the explosion blows off the roof with terrific bang.
 May Be Used in War
 The more imaginative experts con- ceived the idea of applying the discov- cry of warfare, utilizing plant dust as an explosive instead of gun-powder. The plan has it's difficulties, but it is believed possible to work out successful method.
 The study of dust explosions origi- mated in the Bureau of Mines in the investigation of blasts which wrecked coal mines. Mine explosions, it de- veloped. are of two characters-those caused by gas and others caused by dust. Coal dust is essentially the same as plant dust found in elevators, grain threshers and flour mills. The Bureau of Mines transferred a part of the Investigation to the Blu reau of Chemistry. During one sea- son. in the State of Washington, 300 threshing machines exploded, with big property loss and many casualties. An investigator was dispatched by the Agricultural Department to conduct a probe.
 While it was at first thought radi- cal societies were responsible, chem 1 ists discovered the blasts resulted from an accumulation of dust within the threshers, which exploded as the result of sparks caused by static cleo tricity.
 Wires on Threshers ] Subsequently, threshing machines were equipped with miniature light ming rods, which grounded the static electricity, preventing a spark. This has practically ended thresher explo- sions.
 Following this probe a grain ele- vator at Chicago exploded, with a tre- mendous loss of property and several deaths. Chemists found the air within the building had become saturated with grain dust, which was probably set off by an electric spark.
 It was explained at the Bureau of Chemistry that series of explosions usually occurs before mill or ele- vator is destroyed. The first, of in significant proportions, shakes up dust piles throughout the mill, filling the air with a sufficient concentration of dust to generate a terrific explosion. Fire invariably follows a dust blast.
 The Department of Agriculture is now carrying on an extensive cam- paign throughout the United States to keep mills and elevators cleared of accumulations of dust piles. Such action, it is hoped, will eliminate de- structive explosions.

RENROCK
Pillow Made Receptacle OF Secret
of Long Standing

vi h<OAiSo AP'NN''N-Ait1
Mrs. Howard Morrison was dis
turbed in her sleep, her head didn't
rest easy upon her pillow, there was
something about the pillow that
wasn't right. 1t would give forth a
sound that was unusual for feath-
ers. She tried turning and shifting
it's position, but that only seemed TO
aggravate and make it worse. She
would shake it up and beat it VIC
lently, then pat and smooth deftly
as only women can, thinking that
with such treatment her troubles
would end, but not so. That husky
sound would come back again. She
opened it up and looked into it,
nothing there, apparently. but
feathers, and still it persisted in
giving forth it's rasping sound. She
became vexed and called it all the
ugly names that her sense of pro-
priety would allow, but of course
that did no good. In her despere-
tion she remembered that this par
ticular pillow had come into her
possession as gift from a friend
with whom she only had a limited
knowledge, and she thought best to
give it a thorough examination. She
took it to the "dissecting room. =

know what it means) This was
more than Mr.. Pillow could stand.

tact. 1t set forth the fact that Il

L. M. Standsbury and made In
1877, in which it named David
Blackburn as executor. 1t was wit

since deceased.
This estate was settled many
years ago, but the three children
mentioned as legatees we think are
living, but not around here. Wheth-
er they received the bequests as set
forth in this will we know not. It
is probable that the woman, now
living in the west, who made the
present to Mrs. Morrison, made a
mistake and gave her the wrong pill
low.
