Coal Oil Explosions.

We have received the following communica-
tion:-
yEWf PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 16 1869.
10 the Editor otthe EUsning Telegraph.
Sir:-My attention was attracted this morning
TO an article in the local columns of THE EVEN
ING TELEGRAPH, giving an account of an explo-
sion of a coal oil lamp at No. 1908 American
street, wherebya domestic named Fanny McGui-
ran was very seriously burned. / proceeded at
once, in the proper discharge of my duties, to
make an investigation into the circumstances
connected with the affair, and with the follow
ing result
I discovered that the woman was proceeding
down stairs with the lamp in her hand when she
fell, and the lamp breaking, the oil ignited on
coming in contact with the flame, and set her
clothing ON fire. / secured some of the oil that
was in the lamp and found it stood test of
115 degrees Fahrenheit.
On the 18th instant another accident occurred
in the same vicinity, caused, as discovered, by
a domestic undertaking TO make fire with coal
oil, which she very indisereetly poured on some
combustible material after il was ignited. This
was evidently case of gross negligence, asall

Report of Chief Engineer GraeiI, Of the Water
Department.

Department.
The Chief Engineer of the Water Department
has completed a very elaborate report upon the
condition of our works, and the means and cost
of improving them. Now that we have passed
the severe drought which proved so sore an afiiic
tion Councilmen are prone to lose sight of the
fact that unless some remedy be now applied
the same serious water famine may visit us
again next year. The Chief Engineer has un-
donbtedly prepared this report to call the atten-
ton of Conncils to the urgent necessity of
taking immediate steps to avoid this possible
and probable trouble next year. Mr.. Graeft says
that our works, first, are deficient in two re-
spects-in that the reservoirs at the terminus OF
single line of aqueduct are not large enough,
and that there is not sufhciency OF entirely
reliable power to keep the works in motion ut
ali times and seasons. After speaking of the
dilapidated condition of the works Hhen he
assumed control, In 1867, he remarks that the
unprecedepted drought of last summer has de-
veioped the want of an auxiliary to our ordina-
rily reliable water-power, which, us he believes,
may vet be implicitly depended upon for atleast
eight and probably ten, months OF any year,
particularly If the dam be raised. In consider
ing the subject of auxiliary power, nc Is embar-
rassed by doubt as to the proper location OF
the engines Fairmount has been named as the
proper location for them, under the supposltlon
that they should be 80 arranged as 10 DC usetal
in pumping below the dam, should that struc-
ture meet with disaster. But there are many
objections to this. The water below the dam Is
contaminated by the tide bringing up upon its
rise much of the sewerage and waste from the
city Gas Works, and Cornish engines could not

TAKING into consideration the mo-
ton Of the earth on its axis at 1000
miles per hour, whenever we sit
down to breakfast for twenty minutes
we are carried through distance Of
400 miles. Astonishing as it may
appear, it is nevertheless true, that
while we are taking a cup Of coffee
occupying perhaps three or four sec
onds OF time, we are moving on from
nine to twelve miles. Again, when
we consider the revolution of the earth
around the sun, during the aforesaid
breakfast, we are whirling through
space at the rate of nineteen miles
per second, or 1890 miles while en-
gagged in our mornings repast, and
the sip Of coffee finds us about rs
miles farther at its conclusion than
we were at the beginning. Perhaps
the most startling disclosure of mod
ern science is the fact that while we
stop in the street, and raise our hat
to bow 10 a friend, we travel about
80 miles bare-headed, and without
taking cold, and on winters day,
at that.

when we listened to description Of
model teachers appearance in a
school room. Our informant, prompt
ed no doubt, by curiosity, to witness
the practical working of a school un-
DER such favorable circumstances,
called short time, one afternoon.
What was his delighted astonish-
ment at beholding the aforesaid
s'model'' seated with classic compos-
ure on the desk occupying the ros-
trum, his extremities swinging and
dangling in the air, in vain attempts
10 reach the floor. Here, perched
in professional dignity, and with he
roic mien, he listened to Rotations
as convenience dictated. His per-
sonal appearance, aside from his
graceful 'posture, was no less COM
mendable, and of model perfection.
His necktie was faultless-thatis, ne
criticism could justly be made on
what did not exist. AS to collar
what need of a collar, when it could
but EN- arrass the adjoining com:
plexion. His coat was in perfect
harmony with the intensely practical
spirit which pervaded his toilet.
Why should not the same coat be
used in the school-room that adorned
his figure in the Fbarn and its sur
roundings? No wonder he refrained
from the use Of the brush and polish
on his boots, since single glance in
their mirrored surfaces, might have
generated a spark Of pride in his inno-
cent heart, by revealing a beauty of
costume Of which he now dwelt in
blissful ignorance.
As we quietly meditated on the
progress Of the age, we felt that this
single instance had given a decided
negative to the question propounded
in the last Budget -'Is the teach
er sufficiently paid % And we sin
cerely thought that justice demanded
an immediate advance of at least 50
per cent on the compensation of the
profession.
