It is not generally known that flour, sugar, starch or grain dusts are capable of working greater havoc than a high explosive, such as dynamiter says the London Tit-Bits. In a barrel or sack flour is harmless. But if you were to take hand-, fuls of it ?ind throw it about until the air in the room was full of it and then light, a match the house?might be blown to pieces. Flour is a combustible substance. When a cloud of it floats in the air of a room every particle is in immediate contact with oxygen, and a (lame of even a spark will cause it to burn. Instantaneously the whole of it is converted into gas, which, expanding in a closed area, blows out the walls. Powdered sugar is. also, extremely dangerous, while powdered spices, oatmeal and even soap will explode. Sonic months ago a workman lifted the lid of a bin containing flour, and held a lighted match inside to see how full it was. An explosion took place immediately-and the unfortunate man was badly injured. Yet it was not the mass of the flour that went off but only what was afloat in the air of the bin. The average freshman woman student at the University of Kansas weighs 111) pounds and is 5 feet 4 inches tall. A few years ago the averages were 126 pounds and 5 feet 3 inches. fhejt make Night Driving a Pleasure ' ' . . . V ?
