“Snow” Burns Boy to Death.

Because he thought the foam on top of a sunken vat of hot calcium was “summer snow," Wallace Taggart, ten years old, son of Thomas Taggart, stepped to his death at the Shelbyville canning factory. He was so badly burned in the poisonous liquid that he died six hours later. Curious about the foam, the boy qsked an employee what it was. "Snow," the employee replied with a ■mile. The trustful child stepped into the foam and sank. His father, working at the factory, pulled him out. —Shelbyville (Ind.) Dispatch Cincinnati Enquirer. i
