ALWAYS DANGER FROM DUST
Wheat Flour. IN Particular, 10 About
AZ Powerful an Explosive
az cgnpowder.

The housewife when making her
pies and cakes seldom reflects that
-four is as dangerous a nexplosive as
gunpowder. II the contents of a six
pound sack Of wheat -four were dis
tributed through the air Of a good
sized house, the lighting Of a match
would blow up the building. Twice
the quantity Of -four mixed with
1000 cubic feet Of air in a closed
place would, if ignited, generate
enough force to throw $500 tons
to a height Of 100 feet. What is
the reason for this? When -four is
distributed through the air Of a
room every particle Of IT comes in
contact with tho Oxygen Of the air;
consequently it burns instantane-
ously on being lighted A great
quantity of gas is generated sud-
denly, and in trying to expand in a
closed place bursts the walls Of the
room. Grain dust Is not alone in It's
explosive tendencies, for metal dust,
rubber dust, sugar. cork and paper
dust act similarly. During the last
two and q half years dust erplo-
sions in Canada and the United
States have caused the deaths Of
nearly one hundred people and de-
stroyed more than $4,000, 900
worth Of property.

NEW ENVELOPE RULE.

Washington, Jan. 31.--The increas- ing widespread demand for the use of window envelopes has resulted in the appearance of some styles that cause the expenditure of unnecessary time and labor on the part of postal employees and for that reason the post office department has issued cer- tain prescribed conditions governing acceptance of such letters.
 These regulations provide that the window must be parallel with the length of the envelope. properly To- cated. transparent and free from glaze. No printing is permitted about the window. The envelope must bear a return address and must be made of white or very lightly tinted paper. Enclosures must be folded so nothing but the name and address are cx- posed and so they will not shift in the envelope.
