The careless use Of petroleum
and its products is one Of our most
serious fire hazards. This classifi-
cation means. Of course, gasoline,
kerosene and other manufactures
of thu petroleum industry. The
yearly fire loss in the United States
amount to a little more than SILL

Gasoline is the most dangerous
Of these products. owing to its VIOLA
tility. which causes it TO vaporize
rapidly, and its gas. when mixed n
proper proportion with air. becomes
highly explosive. 1t has a heavier
specific gravity than air and con-
sequentl, seeks always the lowest
level available. IL accumulates n
pockets or depresSionS in garages
or other places where gasoline IS
freely used. and for this reason the
So-called garage repair pit. unless
constantly ventilated. creates a Sc

There have been instances with
out number where careless smok-
ers have ignited gasoline fumes
while the tanks of their automo-
biles were being replenished. The
housewife dry-cleans gloves OF some
piece OF wearing apparel, and ia
tai result often ensues. Friction
produced by rubbing silk garments
saturated with gasoline often Gre
ates enough static electricity to ig-
mite the fumes which arise.
Kerosene is less dangerous than
gasoline but under certain condi-
tons its vapors will explode and il
Ould always be treated with re-
Spect. 1t is a common procedure
with many housewives to speed up
a reluctant wood fire in the kitch-
en- stove by wetting the fuel with
kerosene. People sometimes follow
this practice for a good many years
without fatal results. but the rec
ords show that in many cases there

Oregonians Trekked On
When Mormons Stopped

On July "a, 1917, a caravan of I'M
migrants, then regarded as fanatics,
emerging from canyon, looked out
upon the Salt lake valley. "This is
the place; drive on" said Brigham
Young, their leader.
That event, which turned out to be
historic, is commemorated today by
faithful Mormons.
Their achievements in the interven-
ing lightweight years constitute one
of the marvels of western daring and
doing, but the trek of the Mormon
pioneers from the Missouri frontier to
Great Salt lake was comparatively
easy when considered against the
earlier movement over the Oregon
trail to the Pacific Northwest.
When the Oregon pioneers reached
the Rocky mountains they were yet to
face the more difficult and dangerous
half of the long journey. Yet to be
traversed were the desert plains of
southern Idaho, the canyons and steep
ascents Of the Blue mountains, the
rugged and formidable cascades. and
the deep forests that hemmed in the
Willamette valley.
The Mormons ended their trek In
July; the Oregonians in November or
December.
The Mormon movement was in
1S47; the Oregon trail had been well
beaten by successive heavy migrations
in 1913, 1874, 1916 and 1846.-Spokane

The matter Of when evening begins
depends entirely upon the region in
which one is, and the use that the peo-
pie of that region make Of the word.
According to dictionary definition, eve
ming, in strict sense, is from sunset
until dark. Also, 1t may be described
as the period during which the light
is diffused by the reflections of the
suns rays from the atmosphere after
sunset-from sunset to dark night. AS
generally understood, evening means
around five o'clock. and continues, in
some regions, until seven, and in
others, nine, when night sets in. Eng
lish afternoon tea is invariably taken
at five o'clock, from which practice
the French have introduced into their
language the expression "un five

taken at that time, which consists of

Impressive Scenes in
Ethan National Dance

The meke, or national dance OF the
Fijians, plays an important part in all
ceremonies on the islands. AS many
as two hundred young natives, most
gorgeously dressed, will take part In
a meke, which may be described as a
legend told in song and dance. Some
times it deals with a famous tribal
battle of old.
The dancers carry either spears or
clubs, and go through many of the
movements of the battle-the stealthy
approach to the enemy's lines, the
hurly-bruly of the combat, and then
the triumphant return when the
warriors are greeted by their chiefs,
their sages, and their women. For an
hour or more, without the least In
terval, a meke will continue its way,
every action explaining itself, every
step most precisely executed.
The leaders of the mekes are always
particularly fine men, and they wear
wonderful tappa robes with trains
four to five yards long, which they
manage with all the grace of a court
lady.-Montreal Herald.

The building was originally con-

the fire of 1914 the walls were painted
white to cover up the blackened parts,

There are perhaps ten specimens Of
the cobra. They are exceedingly
venomous snakes. They sometimes
reach length of fifteen feet. Among
the types in the ZOOS of this country
are the African splitting cobra, king
or snake eating cobra, egyptian, black,
yellow, and the specialized cobra.
The splitting cobra sprays its venom,
sometimes to a distance Of sixteen
feet, but the egyptian and king ac-

inject the poison. The king cobra is
sometimes called snake-eating cobra
because its food consists of other
