DET0NATING CAPS
DANGER EXPLAINED

nary Explosive Power.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, January IA growing
peril to the public in miners detonat-
ing caps and new laws Of explosion to
explain the danger were reported to
the American Association for the Ad-
vancement of Science today by DR.. r.
w. Wood of Johns Hopkins University.
The caps are used in mining to set
of dynamite blasts. Some get lost.
DR.. Wood said his attention was at
tracted to the unsuspected lethal pow
ers Of these caps by one which got
into the coal of a prominent Balti-
more man and killed his unmarried
sister by exploding in the furnace.
DR.. Wood found it killed her by
firing tiny bit of copper like bullet
through the open furnace door at a
velocity faster than that of the big
gest artillery shell.
"Too much publicity" he said, "can.
not be given to the disastrous effects
produced by these detonators, which
project a copper pellet with velocity
Of 5000 feet per second, three times
the velocity OF rifle bullet and greater
than the velocity of the shells which
were fired on Paris from a distance of
rs miles during the World War"

ters and granddaughters. Each
splitting represented new generation.
Now, DR.. Causey explained, this
polyembryony phenomenon is quite
frequently reported of late. Some
times 1t is triplets and sometimes
quadruplets. Most frequently it Is
identical twins. They always are the
grandchildren of their mothers.
Polyembryony, the biologist indi-
Gated, may be a deep-seated move
ment of nature toward the self-suffi-
cheney of the female in a maleleSs
world-or a world in which the i'm
portance of the supposedly dominant
sex has been reduced to a minimum.

CANCER IS STUDIED
|NFLOWER GARDEN
New York Scientists Probe
Chemical Production OF
Malignant GroWths.
Nv . STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

By q STAFF Correspondent Of The Star.
ST. LOUIS, January There is
a cancer flower garden at the Monte
fore Hospital in New York City.
There, amidst sunflowers, roses,
cacti, bean flowers and willows, doc
tors are trying to determine some OF
the basic effects Of various chemicals
in producing new and malignant
growths.
The work in this strange garden
was described before the botanical
section of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science here
today by DR.. Michael Levine of the
hospital staff.
Plants Have Tumors.
1t is well-known that constant con-
tact with certain substances will cause
malignant tumors in men and ami
mails. Notable among these substances
are coai tars and different compounds
containing a sulphur hydrogen mole
cule. Plants also have tumorS and
growths similar to cancers. Their cell
structure in simpler, and DR.. Levine
hoped to learn from them just how
the cancer producing chemicals work.
Altogether, he said, more than 1000
experiments have been made, extend
ing over three years. Some curious
effects have been produced. Painting
with coal tar the growing region of
young sunflower stalks causes auxiliary
buds to develop, giving a witches
broom effect. Injured stems painted
With the chemicals producted sWellings
With small tumorS.
Tumors Depend on Plant.
The best effect that could be OBJ
ained, however. was non-malignant
umor of the simplest type whose cell
broliferation' was of short duration. In
animal and human cancer the prolif-
eration is limitlesS.
With the plants, DR.. Levine found,
all the cancer-producing agents acted
the same. Whether or not they pro-
duced tumors seemed to depend on the
plant itself, rather than the chemical
substance used. In order to continue
the experiment the Montedore Hospi-
tai doctors are trying to isolate some
chemical which will produce over
growths in plants equal to those which
can be produced by injection of Ger
tain bacteria such as are known to
cause gall tumorS.

Henderson, native and former resi-
dent of Morgan county, and widely
known and highly regarded here,
and the announcement that the
Oberlin Business Mems club at its
annual meeting had voted to honor
the long business service Of
Mr.. Henderson, president of the
Oberlin School of Commerce and of
the Peoples Banking company, by
electing him as honorary president.
Mr.. Henderson's business career in
Oberlin covers a period of 50 years.
The Oberlin paper also had the
following editorial concerning him:
A deserved compliment was paid
to J. T. Henderson when the Ober-
lin Business Mems club made him
honorary president of the organiza-
ton. No business man in Oberlin
has a better record for integrity
and industry, and in addition to
those fine qualities, for sincere in
terest in all that relates to the well
ware of Oberlin. Mr.. Henderson
came to Oberlin as young man
and to the good fortune of the vii
lage determined to do his life work
here. He founded and has conduct
ed for more than half a century one
of the best schools Of business in
the United States. In later years
he has had capable assistance from
other men associated with him in
the work, but the building of the
school itself has been largely the
task Of Mr.. Henderson, and it has
been a job well done. His friends
rejoice in the fact that his physical
yigor apparently is undiminished
with the passage of the years and
that times advances have dimmed
neither his enthusiasm nor his
wholesome interest in the day-to-
day affairs of the world. The club
honors itself in paying honor to .

of the bonus bill. The house of rep

by a vote of 324 to 81 to override.
Immediately after the senate voted

the $2,491, 100000 soldiers bonus
as quickly as possible. At the same
time he opened a drive to lessen the
strain on the u. S. treasury, by
stating to the veterans that they
should not cash their bonds, ex-
cept for useful purpose; that they
should hold them as ''nest eggs.
The president warned of the magni-
tude of the task-requiring between
$500 and 5000 additional person.
mel working for approximately six
months to do this job. He urged
patience upon veterans, and to
avoid writing follow-up letters af-
ter filing application The secre-
tary of the treasury stated they
would be ready to pay off by next
June 15-the date when the bonds
are cashable. He estimated that
total of 38,000,OOO separate bonds
will be needed. 1t is stated that the
job will be the most difficult in the
history of the U. S. treasury de-
partment. Congress has made no
plans by which the money is to be
provided, simply handing to the
treasury department the huge job

EDWARD STEWARD FOUND DEAD
MAY HAVE FROZEN To DEATH

Edward Steward, aged 73 years,
well-to-do-farmer of this locality,
was found dead Friday, shortly af-
ter noon, near a barn on his farm,
about two miles northeast Of this
place. He lived alone in the old
Steward homestead, near the top of
the hill, on the Center road He
had been missing since Wednesday.
The lights from his home, which is
on high ground, could be seen by
neighbors at night. His nearest
neighbor was Gilmore Gilbert. Wed
nesday evening the latter saw no
lights in the home; neither did he
see any light Thursday night, and
Friday he went to the Steward
house and discovered the dead body
of his neighbor, near the barn.
Sheriff Adrean and Acting Coroner
attributed his death to a fall from
a four foot WALL in which he ap-
parently struck his head on a pile
of stone, and to exposure. How he
came to fall is not known, but when
the body was examined it was found
that he had injuries about his head,
and the theory is that in the fall he
was stunned and being exposed in
the very cold weather, he froze to
death. The road leading to the
Steward place where the body was
found, was heavily blocked with
snow, and it took the sheriff and
coroner more than two hours to
reach the place. After their in
quest tractor was driven to the
place, and the body put on
stretcher, and then onto the tractor,
which made its way through deep
snow TO the home. The body was
later removed to the Fisher under
taking and funeral home, where it
was prepared for burial
The deceased was a son of the
late George and Jane Offord Stew
ard. Of a family of II children,
there is but one surviving, Will
liam, who resides back of the fair
grounds. Fhe deceased brothers
and sisters were George, Alex, Sam
uel, John, Fred and Charles Stew
ard, Mrs. Hattie Fouts, Mrs. Ada,
Woodward, and Miss Clara Steward.
The last named passed away in
July, 1884, and Charles Steward
died in November, 1884.
Funeral services were held Sun
day afternoon at Fishers undertak-
ing parlor, with Rev. r. II. Hoy, of
the local Methodist Episcopal
church officiating. Burial was
made in McConnelsville cemetery.
