This is one Of the products OF the distilatiOn
of Petroleum, Bituminous Coal, sc. 1t Is
composed Of Carbon and hydrogen, resembling
ordinary Coal Gas in composition. 1t is inia-
mabe at the usual temperature of the air but
is not more dangerous to use than Coal Gas.
Like other combustable bodies it is liable to
communicate fire by careless handling. Like
Coal Gas its vapor can be made 10 explode by
mixing with larger volume Of air. This IS
not liable TO occur as il is about two and one
half times heavier than air and occupies the
heaviest space in the Lamp, pushing the air
out before It. K. ii. STABLhR,
