MR. DUNHAA Sir - The Ia.
meniable death of my niece at Lacon. iii !,
on the 9Th iDstsnt, impels me to give a
word of caution 10 the public. Early in
the morning she was reading with lamp
10 her hand. As it grew light, she blew
it out from the top. II exploded. setting
her clothes on FIRE. and shivering the
lamp into fragments. many of them cut
ting her face. She died the same even.
Jog.
First-The oil 10 the lamp was low,
leaving more room for gas.
Sscond-The gas is very infammsble,
and will always explodSrben ignited.
Third-Ia blowing the blaze down, it
ignited the gas, and caused the sad cata-
strophe.
the inference is, lamp should never
be blown on. from the top. The wick
may not perfectly fill the tube, and the
fine may go down when the gas comes
up.
Fourth-Ths less oil in the lamp .he
greater the danger.
| have been 10 the habit OF extiuguisL-
ing my lamp by blowing Ipto the chin
ney from the top, | design TO do SO no
more, and wish 10 warn everybody of the
danger.
