Valve Opened To Empty Tank, and Then the Fire Spread Because they set the street afire, the men who will pour asphalt into the paving on North Forest avenue did net work yesterday. The setting fire to the street happened on Thursday morning. It was the first day the force, had been on the job, and the experience furnished lots of excitement. The stuff requires considerable heat to make it liquid, and if it gets too hot, it burns spontaneously. That was what happened.

A temperature of 320 degrees is needed to cause the asphalt to melt, and it burns at 450. The man tending the fire had trouble getting the tank hot enough, so he kindled up with shingles and coal until he had a big blaze. Something went wrong with the cutting machine which slices the stuff oat of barrels, and the supply in the tank ran low without any new being added to reduce the temperature. The result was a blaze and a monster cloud of smoke. The only way to put out the fire was to shut off tho air and smother it.

An effort to do this failed, because the blaze was so hot the sheets of tin used to cover the tank shriveled and warped out of shape. The man pushed the tank a few feet down the street, and opened a plug to let the asphalt run out and save what they could. It made a big puddle, and they decided to move the tank again. It is presumed that the removal jolted some live coals out of the furnace. At any rate, the street caught fire, aud a big patch of it was all ablaze.

The stuffs burns slow, but it gives off clouds of smoke. The men went home to dinner and left the truck to burn itself out: One of them had a hole in the bottom of his shoe. He stepped on some of the hot asphalt, and suffered agony for a while. LOTS OF BIG PEARS. Rev.

Kitchen Brings Sample From Jacob Leonard's Farm. Rev. G. W. Kitchen, who was the guest yesterday at the home of Jacob Leonard, three miles west of Earlton, brought to The Tribune office a sample of the pear crop on Mr.

Leonard's farm. One little branch, less than twelve inches long, contains in a single cluster seven perfect pears already almost as large as ordinary ripe ones. The pears are the Early Keifer variety. The Rev.Mr. Kitchen also reports all crops and fruits in that vicinity in excellent condition.

"Lots of peaches, apples, plums and pears," he says, "and the trees so full the limbs are breaking under the strain of tho fruit." TAFT HONORS EDITOR AND POSTAL BANK ADVOCATE Lawson Worked Hard for the New Postal Savings Bank Law. Washington, July 2. The pen with which President Taft signed the postal savings bank bill last Saturday was sent by the president to Victor F. Lawson, editor of the Chicago Daily News, as a memento of the legislation- accomplished after years of effort and in appreciation of the important part played by Mr. Lawson in bringing it to pass.

Accompanying the souvenir was a personal letter from the president expressing his gratification over the success at last attending the efforts of those who have striven to have the postal bank system established in the United States, and particularly complimen'ing Mr. Lawson as leader of the movement. Both in Congress and in outside circles the wcrk performed under Mr. Lawson direction Las been conceded to have been largely instru mental in arousing public sentiment in behalf cf postal savings hanks to a point where political parties were forced to make the establishment of the system platform pledge and in forcing tho lawmakers to Chicago nowipaper in action.

DON'T BANDAGE THE-WOUND WHAT TO DO WITH FOCBTH OF JULY ACCIDENTS. First Thought Should Be Prevcntiou of Lockjaw. Wound Should Be Left Open to Air until It Has been Cleansed. "In case of a Fourth of July accident, the wound should not be bau-cnged as to exclude the air," say a a Chanute physician, in discussing what should be done in emergencies which are likely to arise Monday. "Air is the best thing for the pre-vention cf tetanus.

The oxygen in the atmosphere is the natural foe of the germs which cause lockjaw. If it has a chance to get at them, it v. ill burn them up. If "the air is shut away from them by the bandaging of a wcund, there Is much iiinrA daneer than there would be otherwise. "The wound should not be bandaged until it has been thoroughly cleansed, and all possibility for infection removed.

A 'few years ago I was called to treat a case where a boy had shot the wad from a toy pistol into his hand. His mother poured peroxide into the wound the first thing. This was excellent treat ment, because the chemical contains a large proportion of oxygen, which is death to the lockjaw germs. "After the wound has been cleaned so as to prevent the possibility of lockjaw, cave should be taken to protect it from subsequent infection. It should be however that the air shouldr not be excluded until all the proper precautions have been taken to guard against lockjaw." The Chanute 'surgeons have a supply of tetanus anti-toxin to use in case it is needed.

They are now shooting all that are caught and sometimes they are tripped before the animals are killed. Dr. Hoper, city health officer, is the man who lias found a solution, lie dispatches the dogs with hydrodeyanic acid. It is so poisonous that it will kill as quick as shooting. It is never failing-whcn injected iihtly, and does the.

work in a thoroughly humane manner. The doctor experimented a few days ago upon several dogs which were in the calaboose pound. He tried it on eight. He took all of them and then with a hypodermic syringe, injected the hydrocyanic acid into the body of the canine. Hydrocyanic acid is practically the same thing a3 prussic acid.

The dogs all actd in much the same manner. At firsts after being placed on the ground, they would take perhaps two steps. Then they fc-11 and began to pant laboriously and furloufaly. One dog, a particularly Urge one, was the only one which did not succumb to the first injection. He showed all the symptoms, and tveu fell, but nature did the work of carrying away 9 Style Parlor.

106 West Main 9 the acid and he would have suvived if another injection had not been given. The acid is peculiar in its actfon. The injection was made upon tho breast and just back of the front leg. The poison upon entering the body is one of long standing and has always, been attended with good results. The doctor made the experiments upon his own hook.

He thought to suggest the method to the city council but it empolys a man now to take the dogs to the country and kill theni at the burying ground. Anybody can buy the acid at a drug store and a one-ounclo bottle is sufficient to kill about twentydogs. With a hypodermic eyringe anyone can dispatch all of the superannuated cats and pets about the house and with but little inconvience or pain to the victim.
