led so rapidly that the temperature rose in
-four days from GO to 100, and would have
rose even higher had the wire not been
cooled by pouring on water. In this case,
remarks the Journal the heat set free caus-
he'd the oxidation to go faster and faster, and
this is what occurs in spontaneous combus-
|tion, which Is simply "rapid combustion
developed gradually from slow combus-
|tion." Oily rags used by planters, and cot
ton waste used for wiping machinery are
common sources of such combustion
|When," says the journal, "such substan-
res have become saturated with oil, If they
happen to be thrown into heap, the oil
begins to oxdize slowly; but the heat pro-
2luccd makes the oxidation more and moro
rapid, until the mass burns into flame.
|Oils that oxidizc readily, like cotton-seed
|oil, are especially liable to take fire. Oil
|spilt on dry sawdust has been known to
Ignite in the same way" Hay, cotton, tow,
flax, hemp, rags, leaves, spent tan, straw
lin manure heaps, ETC., when stacked in
quantities in IA damp state, take fire sponta-
|neously, the oxidation being that of incipi-
lent decay or Fermentation promoted ny inc
|dampness and the confined heat accumu-
|lating, until it is sufficient to cause rapid
Combustion. Pulverized charcoal, prepar-
| ed for making gunpowder, and stored in
heaps, has been known to ignite, when
|neithcr damp nor oily. The journal thinks
It doubtful whether grain or seeds of any
kind are liable to spontaneous combustion,
Though several French savants came to the
conclusion that barn had caught fire from
spontaneous ignition of damp oats stored
therein. However that may be, the Jour-
nal thinks it evident from the facts given
that many fires, involving great destruction
+. of property, have been the result of spon-
|taneous combustion; and that it is proba-
BILE that many CONGREGATIONS ascribed to
|incendiarism have really owed their origin
Ito the same cause.

THE CHICKEN AND THE EGG.-AccordS
ing to a German author the chick, ut the
moment of escape from the egg, weighs
about two-thiTds as much as the original
egg. If, therefore, it is desirable to have
strong and large chicks, ii is necessary to
see that only the heaviest eggs are Matched.
The average weight of hens eggs may be
estimated at about ten to the pound; some
weigh considerable more and others much
less than this proportion. by pains in Sc
Letting large eggs, it will be possible, ac-
cording to the usual theory Of selecting for
breeding, TO secure race of chickens of
large size.

Origin of the Chicago Fire.

1t is now asserted in Chicago that
the story Of a woman, a cow and a
kerosene lamp is a myth, and that
the fire was originated by incendia-
ries. A correspondent Of the New
York Herald says that it was the
work of city ruffans of the lowest
class. The Chicago Times publishes
more sensational version, of which
the following is the substance i
+ A member Of the Societe znteqna-
tionoze, whose headquarters are in
Paris, has made public a statement,
in which he declares that Chicago
was burned by members of the socie-
ty which he belongs.
He says that they had been wait
ing for just such a concatenatioAi of
circumstances as those that preceded
the fire. The old barn on DeKbyen
street promised thelgreatest measure
of success, and there the freI Iwes
started, mot by the explosion ,T a
kerosene lamp, but by the hands Of
one of the members. Before the2ar-
rival of the fremen at the scene Of
the confagration, a half dozen mines
had been touched off. in different Dor
tions of the city, and their efortsl to
subdue the flames were as futile4 as
would be those Of a child to stem
the cataract of Niagara When Ahe
flames had reached the river, opera
tions were commenced in the Sohth
Division. A mine was sprung atthey
Gas works, and another at Van Bu-
rem street bridge, and afterwards on
Wells street and Farwell Hall. The
writer himself says that he had been
delegated to explode the powder
magazine on South Water street, and
was only prevented from doing itsby
the arrival Of the powder brigade, Just
then seizing the explosive material to
attempt to stop the further progress
of the flames southward. He says
that it was intended to destroy but
lew buildings in the North Division,
and these the business headquarters
and residences of, the afluent.,. But
the Waterworks were in operation,
and these they desired to destpy;
50 the match was applied. Inthe |
fight of the workmen, the man who
applied the match was overthrown
and miserably perished. Two of2the
founders of the Order in;Ghi-
cago were burned in the terrible fire
they had instigated, and seven of
those who were delegated to assist it
in its progress. The writer says.also
that other cities in this country ksre
included in the list of those doomed
to destruction by fire.
This startling story is given WITH
out signature, for obvious reasDas,
it be true or false. One Il lang
is evident, and that is that the fre
was started by some one, and nj te
rally aided in its progress by otArs.
