cofee-pot was placed over the caLdlc in order that
the light could not be seen by any one who should

apparatus, the paper did not ignite, although the
die had burned out, setting fire 10 the wicker work
and one CT the steps, which wa. partially burned

The smoke from the burning steps and willow led
TO the discovery Of the machine. although at this
