The OIL question.

The question concerning the relative
safety of different kinds of Illuminating
oils is deservedly attracting large share
of public attention. We can scarcely open
a paper wherein we do not read Of explo-
sions and fatal injuries resulting from
either the careless use, or the intrinsic
dangers Of illuminating oils. The recent
calamitous burnings in Edgefeld and
Chattanooga, have excited unwonted inter
est in this locality, which has not been al
layed by the newspaper publications here
respecting the merits and dement's of coal
oil, and Aurora oil-both Of which are ex.
tensively used in this city and vicinity.
The issue reached partial elimination
day before yesterday, by public test by
Mr.. Yaryan, Of the Tennessee Oil Refinery,
Of the explosibility of Aurora OIL. A half
pint Of this oil was put in an iron bound
barrel and ignited by a taper through a
small apperature in the bung, and the re-
suit was on the third trial an explosion,
which bursted the iron hoop and blew out
the head of the barrel. The barrel, il is
proper TO state, was previously filled with
air from the human lungs. An ignited
newspaper was then thrown into an open
vessel of coal oil, and Immediately ex-
tinguished. Per contra, the proprietors of
the Aurora oil in this city, made test with
opposite results. Red hot iron was inserted
into the oil without effect and an open
bottle was filled, and the oil ignited with
out explosion. Our space forbids our go
ing into further details Of the respective
tests. We have stated enough TO place
them fairly before the reader.
We do not take any side in the contro-
very, but as il is a matter of profound
public interest we will state our impression.
The question, as we regard it, isnot 80 much
one Of e1plosibiiity, as of iafammability. 1t
seems that the Aurora is more inflammable
than coal oil. Heated water often produces
explosions, and we imagine that any COM
bustible substance, ignited and confined,
would show tendencies to explosion. That
substance or fluid which will assert this
tendency to the highest degree, under the
same circumstances, would reasonably be
pronounced the most dangerous. This
would seem to be common sense. We will
make suggestion-which is, that the issue
be referred to a committee of scientific gen.
tlemen, practical chemists who shall sub
iect these oils to scientific test-and let
the result be given to the public. Thus, in
the hands of disinterested men of science,
will the question find a solution that can
never be obtained through interested news
paper articles.
