Deadly Silo Gases
Overcome Farmer
Farmers Are Warned to Test
Silo Before Entering
Before entering the silo the farmer
or anyone working for him should
make sure that. no dead' gases are
preeen,, is the admonition of silo ex
perte of the Dominion Department of
Agriculture.
At Herron, North Dakota, the other
day, the Neidhardt family, father and
four children, had their lives snuffed
out by what was reported to be Me-
thane gas. The sheriff who attempted
to recover the bodies was overcome
and barely escaped with his life, after
his son had made two attempts to get
his father out of the silo.
Methane and carbon dioxide are the
two poisonous gases which are likely
to occur in any 811o. They have their
origin in the decomposition of organic
matter, Methane CH4 is an odorless,
inflammable gas which occurs natural-
ly as the product of the decomposition
'of organic matter, and is frequently
met with in marshes and mines, being
more familiarly 'known as marsh gas.
Carbon dioxide CO2 is a heavy color-
less irrespirable gas which extinguish-
es flame. It Is produced by the action
of acids on carbons, th:ough fermen-
tation, and bythe decomposition of
organic substances.
Both these gases may be present in
the silo and owing to the fact that
they are heavier than air as they ac-
cumulate they force air away from the
top of the silo.
As neither Methane or Carbon Diox-
ide will degenerate within a few days
it is always well before entering a
silo during the filling season to run
the blower a few minutes to insure an
adequate circulation of air. At other
times, a lighted lantern should be
lowered into the silo to insure that no
in flight over gas is present. If Carbon Dioxide is The q
present the flame will Immediately go
out.'
There is just as much danger from
poisonous gases in the silo as there is
in an old well, but the .danger is one

To Classify Man
A new classification of mankind ac-
cording to the widths of theis noses,
believed to be'related to the climatic
histories of different races and prob-
ably of considerable importance in
racial evolution, has been proposed by
Professor John Cameron of Dalhousie
University, Nova Scotia, in a recent,
announcement from the Wistar Insti-
tute, in Philadelphia.
The races with the widest noses and
most open nostrils, Professor Cameron
Ands, are the negroes, the native
Australians and the former Tasman-
ian race, now extinct. These races
live in 1101 climates, where a wide,
open nose probably helps to cool the
blood as the air passes over the nasal
membranes, much as a dog cools him-
self by panting.
The narrowest noses among the ma-
jor races of the world are found, Pro-
fessor Cameron continues, in the
European whites, but there is a very
small racial group with still narrower
noses and more tortuous nostrils,
These are the eastern' Bsquimos,
chiefly inhabitants of Greenland.
For races living in such rigorous
winter climates as that of Greenland
it obviously is' desirable to have long
narrow nasal passages so that the
extremely cold outer air will be warm-
ed as much as possible before reach-
ing the more delicate membrances of
the throat or lungs. Professor 'Cam-
