A PLAIN-SPoKEN ENGLIsHMAN.
Mr.. Goodwin Smith, in delivering
a lecture at Brighton, [England,)
spoke out with more directness on
the subject Of hereditary mon-
archy than we remember any pub
lie man in England of mark to
have done in our day. He said
very plainly that the root of mon
arcby is dead, and that the tie be.
tween Queen Victoria and the
English people is purely of per,
sonal affection. Were this true
theprospects Of the Prince ofWales
would not be ofthe best; but the
words are likely to lead to an ex-
aggerated estimate Of the situation.
The old and blind loyalty to a
name, an idea, show, no doubt
is dead. The monarchy of Eng
land is supported in other ways.
A large proportion Of the middle
classes classes firmly believe that some
hocus-pocus such as q sovereign
without power is the best arrange
ment for the security and comfort
of society; and to the multitude
the notion of a republic is distaste-
full. Under certain conditions, the
hereditary monarchy of England
is decidedly the safest in Europe;
but those conditions may be want
ing. A bad, an obstinate king,
would be weighed. and got rid of
with very slight delay. Mr.. Gold
win Smiths lecture, meanwhile,
is a significant event, as betokening
the new form Of open questions
which are to be considered when
the reign of democracy is fully In:
augurated:

Cause of Lamp Explosions.

The Boston Journal Of Chemis-
try, in an article on the chemistry
of kerosene speaks as follows. As
an explanation Of the causes of
lamp explosions, it is worth study
ing, that these accidents may be
avoided
AS has been stated, kerosene is
not explosive. A lighted taper
may be thrust into it, or fame ap-
piled in any way, and it does not
explode. On the .cobtrary it ex-
tinguishes fame, if experimental
with at the usual temperatures of
our rooms. Kerosene accident
occurs from two causes First,
imperfect manufacture Of the
article second, authorizations.
An imperfectly manufactured oil
is that which results when the
distillation has been carriedfon at
too low temperature, aud a por:
tion of the naptha remains in it.
Adulterations are largely made
by unprincipled dealers, who add
20 to 80 per cent of naptha after
it leaves the manufacturers

hands. The little napthas which
have been spoken of, as known in
commerce under the names of ben
zine, benzoline, gasoline, etc., are
! very volatile, infamabIe, and dan
gerous. They, however, in them
selves are not explosive !; neither
are they capable of furnishing
any gas, when placed in lamps,
which is explosive. Accidents of
this natue are due entirely to the
facility, with which vapor is pro-
duced from them at low temper
atures. But. the vapor by itself
is not explosive; to render it so,
it must be mixed with air. A
lamp may be filed with bad kero-
sene, or with vapor even, and in
no possible way can it detonate,
or explode, unless atmospheric air
has somehow got mixed with va
por. A lamp, therefore, full, or
nearly full, Of the liquid, is safe -;
and also one full of pure warm
vapor is safe. Explosions gener-
ally occur when the lamp is first
lighted, without being filed. and
late in the evening, when tho
fluid is nearly exhausted. The
reason Of this will readily be seen.
In using imperfect or adulterated
kerosene, the space above the line
Of oil is always filled with vapor;
and so long as it is is warm, and
rising freely, no air can reach it,
and it is safe. At bedtime when
the family retires, the light is ex-
tinguished ; the lamp cools, apor-
tion of the vapor is condensed !;
this creates q partial vacuum in
the space, which is constantly
filed with air. The mixture is
now more or less explosive :: and
when, upon the next evening,
the lamp is lighted without re-
plenishing with oil, as is often
done, an explosion is liable, to
take place. Late in the evening,
when the oili nearly consumed,
and the space above filled with
vapor, the lamp cannot explode
so long as it remains at rest upon
the table. But take it in hand,
agitate it, carry it into a cool
room, the vapor is cooled, air
passes in, and the vapor becomes
explosive. A case of lamp explo-
sion came to the writer's know
ledge a few years since, which was
occasioned by taking a lamp from
the table to answer ring of the
door bell. The cool outside air
which impigned upon the lamp in
the hands of the lady, rapidly con-
densed the vapor, air passed in,
explosion occurred, which resulted
fatally. If the lamp had been full
Of fluid, this accident could not
have occurred. Before carrying it
to the door, fame might have been
thrust into the lamp with safety,
the vapor would have ignited, but
no explosion would have taken
place.
