Rxsosrsr Or 1T is true, we doubt not.

ResosrsE Or 1T is true, we doubt NOT,
that this new material for light is non-ex-
plosiye, but it is proper to caution those who
use it not to suppose that the gas which i
emits Is likewise non-explosive. A case oc-
Cured few days ago in Augusta, Geo.,
where light was applied to the faucet hole
Of barrel which had contained oil, and an
explosion instantly took place Of the gas
which had been left in the barrel as the oil
was drawn out. The explosion was as loud
as that of six pound cannon. The head OF
the barrel struck negro girl in the breast
and killed her.
There was not gill Of oil in the barrel at
the time. The gas is an alcohol, whiskey,
camphene, or spirits of turpentine barrel,
would explode under the same circumstan-
ces. and so probably. would an oil can, or
any other vessel in which such subtances
have been kept, and which have no oriiice
at the top to allow the gas to escape.
The Augusta Chronicle says
1.-The fatal result Of the explosion of the
barrel which had Just been emptied of kero-
sine coal oil from the Western Coal Oil
Company's works in Cincinnati, has caused
more thorough examination of two quail
ties Of coal oil, now offered for sale IN this
market.
The oil from the Western Coal Oil Works
appears to be an admixture of coal oil, tur-
pentine and perhaps alcohol. Ii portion
Of this oil is placed in cup, saucer, or other
open receiver, and lighted match applied
to II, flame will instantly cover the surface
and continue to burn until the turpentine o.
alcohol is exhausted. This coal oil has q
dark brown appearance, and is the sort which
caused the explosion on Saturday night last
4 There is another quality Of this Kerosene
oil on The market, and appears TO be mix,
ture Of coal oil, turpentine, and sperm OIL
II is Of light color, resembling olive oil
is very limpid, and mhiie cool, if lighted
match be applied TO il the match will be ex'
Itinguished, without causing ignition to the
surface Of the oil. If this oil, however, i
warmed, it readily catches fire like that OBJ
tanned from the Cincinnati Coal Oil Works
The public should not be deceived int
security by noticing the impunity with which
persons can dip lighted match into an,
kind of kerosine oil. When the oil Is j.
lamps, il becomes heated and i liable to c =
plode, il any Of the sentages about thes,
novel lamps shall become closed.
There is not particle of danger in TIT
use of any Of the explosive combinations. !
the utmost intelligent caution could at al
times be observed. Butsuch care can neye
be expected, and the public should be yer.
cautious IN the general Introduction int
their dwellings of those cheap and briliian
lights. which are warranted not to ex
plode." Fay. 05s
