They Call Him Fire Bug Now, The Htato fire maralml uf Ohio ipake* the ufltonltfhlng statement that many diet* in thut *tate und elsewhere are cauned by the careless uxe of gasoline, keronlnc und other Inflammable liquids III fighting that little pest of the house* hold, the "Clinex Lecturlarlus,*’ or bed bug as he Is commonly known. Com menting on measures against this, the marshul says: “During the past summer un unusual number of fires from cremating bed bugs have been reported. “These tires do not come from injur ing gasoline Into a crack and then Im mediately lighting It (a very common practice), but, usually, from splashing gasoline about und then after it has given off vapor, lighting u match to illuminate some crevice; or, from pur suit of tho bug with gasoline by lamp light. In either cose the vapor of gaso line mixed with air Is exploded by a blaze. One building was burned by a gentleman who, .with murderous Intent, held a gasoline lump under a nest of the |*ests. “The mosquito sings his pray to sleep, And then he takes a bite. The bed-bug crawls from head to feet. And gruzcH ull the night. “Bed-bug* may be destroyed effec tively and in a wholesale way by the nulphur*torche* used In fumigating aft er contagious diseases. This strangles the bugs and addles the eggs, but It fades unaline reds and blues In the wall paper and vegetable dyes In rib bons: und It smells, Formaldehyde fumigation only gives the hugs un add ed perfume which they don't worry about. The most satisfactory insecti cide for hugs Is made by putting one ounce each of eorrislve sublimate and chloride of ummoniu In a pint of wood alcohol. This Is applied with u brush ull cracks in the Infebted bed or in. The alcohcl evaporates. leaving the poisonous crystals on the wood. The liquid Is dangerous stuff to have about. Filling all crevices In beds and base- boards with soap or better, with paint, prevents the bugs from finding u happy home with you. Hut In very old build ings this hug. though wingless, may elude the pursuit of the most astute. The belief that bed-bugs live upon cer tain woods ts erroneous. The bed-bug lives by blood ntnne. “During last summer the explosion;* resulting from pursuing with gasoline the bug that gets there tired sixteen houses, burned five persons danger ously and four fatally, including two cnlloren who were helping mamma. 'Moral: Gaxollr.c should be hundlcd with care."

Ga.,^ Nov. 10.—At the regular meeting of the city council this week a light between the city and the local electric light and water company was precipitated. The light ahd water company’s bill for service for October wak presented at this meeting, and after discussion the council refused to approve It, re ferring the matter to the elty attorney for legal opinion. The contract for lights and water between the city and the light and wa ter company expired October 1. The city did not renew the contract, and asked that arbitrators be named to de termine the value of the light and wa ter plant, presumably with a view to taking under consideration the advisa bility of the purchase of the plant by the city. The light and water comtfeny did not, however, designate any arbitrators, and continued to supply water and light to tho city during the month of October, us they had during previous months. Tho refusal of the city to pay these October bills will doubtless rause light between the city und the local plants, which the courts will be called on lo decide.
