Death or Nova Scotia Educator

(Canadians Press)

HALIFAX, N. S., May 19,.-Dr. Alexander Howard MacKay who for thirty-five years was" superintendent or education for the Province of Nova Scotla. died today at. his home in Dartmouth on the eight-first anni- versary of his birth. He had been ill with pneumonia for several days. Dr. MacKays career as an educator be- gun when he became a rural school teacher in i865 as a youth of seven- teen years and was uninterrupted until i926, when he retired from the supcrintendency of education and was succeeded by Dr. H.

ting the case of the 122 fatalities reported yesterday That approximate- ly 1,000,000 cubic feet of gas was gen- erated by the 75,000 pieces of film in the basement storeroom at the clinic was the opinion concurred in by Hprry L. Rockwood, Cleveland Health Commissioner, Dr. A. H. Keg- cl, Chicago health conlmlssloner and W. R. Yant, supervising chemist of

at Pittsburgh.

"When you consider" Dr. Rock- wood said, “that. one part either nitrous oxide or carbon monoxide in 100 parts of air is fatal, you can realize the extreme danger in being exposed even to the smallest quantity of these gasses. "About. 30 per cent of the clinic gas was nitrous oxide, 30 per cent was carbon monoxids and the remainder mostly was non-poisonous elements."

The chemist agreed that the amount of gas generated of such high poison content could have wiped out the entire city and a couple more cities like it if it had been widely distributed. Many persons who came within several hundred yards of the clinic building felt. the effects of the gas and were stricken fatally inside the structure, but the danger finally was eliminated by ‘lvinds that blew the poison gas away.
