unul the liquid contains 80 little alcohol that

OF brandy IS an instance Of this truth, familiar
TO many. 1t is evident then that the fluid does
not explode. This, in part, explains why, in
the face of such dreadful warnings, many Der.

they may for years have done so without injury

The lamps should be trimmed and flied only

and the ends of tubes should be covered with a
cap when the lamp is not in use, to keep the

evaporation of the burning fluid through them.
These few cautions and directions being OBJ
served, there is no greater danger in using
camphene or spirit gas lamp, than there is in
using an oil lamp.
