DANCERS OF "SAFKTY OILs."-Professor
Chandler, of New York, has begun a crusade
against the sale Of the highly dangerous fluids
used throughout the country for illuminating
purposes, which shay from 900 to 900 persons
per annum. Every days delay, he says, in en-
acting laws to stop the traffic consiRns from
shree to six human beings to q fearful death in
the United States alone from these dangerous
OILS. That these figures are not exaggerated is
proved by table published in the New York
Tribune, which shows that from January 1. 1871.
10 March i, 1872, there were 1, 5H fires in New
YORK, OF which number 2SS, or 10 per cent were
occasioned by the explosive products of petro-
ieum. The figures at the bureau of vital Stats
tics show that Of the 112 deaths which occurred
from scalds and burns during the year 1871, 80
deaths, or thirty-two per cent Of the whole
number, resulted from the use Of petroleum
IL Is stated that the explosive ellis, adv ertised
under the attractive titles of s'Liquid Gas"
aurora OIL" "Safety Cas-" "Anchor Oh, -
Burning Safety Fluid" and other names, are
more dangerous than the poorest kerosene, being
merely naphtha or gasoline deOdorized of their
pungency. The news columns of the daily
papers show emily . few Of the great number of
accidents, CONGREGATIONS, and deaths caused by
this means. The explosive force Of so-called
safety-oils is ten-fold greater than that of the
01S20eSf.
Kerosene oil becomes dangerous to burn Just In
proportion - 1t contains napththa or gassline,
which give to II tt explosiveness, and are the
only dangerous elements which enter into the
composition Of petroleum, Grade or refined. 1t
10 the opinion Of Professor Chandler that the
public viii never b sheetually protected until
laws are enacted and enforced In every comm a.
nifty making II crime TO sell for use In lamps or
similar vessels. any fluid which emits an inham-
mable vapor ct temperatures below 1909 F.; to
be punished BY confinement In state prison for
not less than six months for each ofYense. If an
accident shall occur from the use of oil which is
below the standard. the party by whom it was
sold must be liable to civil suit for actual
damages, either TO property or person, in sddi-
ton TO his liability 10 the criminal suit. II any
person IL killed by . fire q explosion, resulting
from such oil, the seller must be liable to an
action for manslaughter.
