. . . - ... f l t--m "..'. ..... .ir-..i i Tf-'i EXPLOSIONS CAUSED .BY DUST Irrtfestlffatlon Has Proved That Grain ibla by No Maane the Only Da i tT'i structlva Agent. : b- " , " When the bureau, of chemistry of the "United States department of agri culture started investigations with the object of reducing fires and tTpVwlon caused by dust in the grain elevators and mills it was not long before the etperts realised these fixes and. explo-. slona were by no means confined., to the' grain business. These dtost-explo-aion investigations are having a wide influence, which has extended to many industries. Aluminum dust,' starch aad even fish meal, a by-product of fish canneries, have all been found susceptible to the conditions ? which produce disastrous explosions.' ' The latest development ' goes to prove that., the mysterious ."blow sacks" so well known to firemen are In some cases caused by dust -With tha knowledge of this .fact as a guide many fatal accidents may be avoided. The firemen of America find the mat ter of sufficient importance to war rant their co-operation with the de partment of agriculture in a study of preventive methods. The subject was taken up by the National Firemen's association at their twenty-second annual convention at Peoria, EL Engineers engaged in the dust-explosion investigations rep resented the department of agriculture at the meeting. EYE HAS GREAT SENSITIVITY Wonderful Human Organ Capable ef Adapting Itself to Any Possible Circumstances. I' On entering a dark room fter ! stay in the outside daylight the eye fat once begins to Increase in sensl tlvity. At first this Increase appears to be slow, but after five minutes the la crease is quite rapid, the eye acqulr- iag a sensitivity several hundred times Its initial value. After 30 mb ntes' sojourn in the dark the sensitiv ity still Increases, but more slowly than before, and after 45 minutes or an hour the maximum sensitivity Tts reached. The final sensitivity varies slightly with different people, but Sin fully adapted condition the eye Is eta fly 5,000 or 10,000 times mora sensitive than It was at the beginning. ; Them ' rsets - are eotaJned Tram . a etody of the sensitiveness of the eye In the dark made by Sellg Hecht of Creighton university, Omaha, aad pub lished in the Journal of General Phyalology. Mr. Becht's study goes to show that the Increased tensittve aem Is due to a reversible photochem ical reaction within the retina, involv ing a photosensitive subetasqa and Ha two products of decomposition.

They appear unexpectedly- over cities . far sway from their stations and many a farmer these days sees a gargantuan propelled beetle settle down In his back pasture. When an army plane com' s flying by or lands near us, we will soon look for flie Insignia, Just as everybody once looked for the state automobile license tag when the tour ist's dust covered auto passed. When the pedestrian sees a plane decorated with the painting of a kicking mule, a sll'ipuetted, scythe-swinging skeleton or a witch a straddle n broomstlek, he niny wonder what battle record the In signia stands for. He may guess rightly that the tiny winged elephant on a plane Is a sarcastic commentary on the plane's speed, but he probably would like to know Whether this plane is from a burden-bearer squadron that hauled tons of bombs over the lines to drop them on German railway junc tions." r - . m REDUCED PRICES On Cooking Stoves For a Short while we offer our entire line of cook Stoves at Reduced Prices.

A fat mackere.1 alo ranpht his fancy while speculatlni in sea food and he took along the handsome specimen. Charles put the mackerel In with his lobsters and, cranking up his truck, headed for home. Tve (tot something here, all right," said Charles to his better half as he carried the big bundle Into the house. He dumped a crawling mass of crus taceans on the table but nowhere could he find his mackerel. Back to the auto he went but the fish had dis appeared. Whw the lobsters were boiled and eerred It was noticed there was a deeided flator of mackerel to them. The diners' suspicions were aroused and. seeking authority. Charles was told that he had guessed correctly the lotsters hsil eaten his mackerel. The hungry Rlii.lnh, be ing brought up oti salted h rrlng In the traps, were, -not slow to realize that an epicurean dish was being serv ed them on the b'tig ride home.
