Nos-ExPLosnE POWDER. 49, We were
yesterday witness to several trials Of
Prof. Steels Non-explosiye Powder, now
being introduced in Phoebe by James
Egan, the agent for the same. It's quail
tiles are such that teaspoonful intro
dueed into the oil OF the lamp makes it
impossible for the oil to explode or burn
except through the wick of the lamp. 1t
also makes the lamp chimneys proof
against breaking by being damp, wet or
a sudden draft causing the flame to burn
high, or on one side of the chimney. We
noticed a chimney that was wet for the
purpose of the experiment placed on a
| lighted lamp and the blaze turned up to
| it's full height. which stood the test. An
| experiment was also made with n dry
chimney which had been cleaned, with a
| like result. Mr.. Egan is selling this
powder at 81, per box, and no one should
| be without it. II is not only an immense
saving of lamp chimneys, but ensures
safety to saloons, lodging houses, &c, IN
case OF a sudden fire getting to oil in a
lamp. We would advise every one when
the agent calls, to see this tried and Judge
! for themselves.
The parties arrested on Saturday
evening charged with the larceny OF
| $40 from n house on Meadow Valley
street, were released on bail that same
evening, and had hearing yesterday at
| o'clock before Justice Allen, who dis
missed the complaint against them and
taxed the costs TO the prosecuting wit
| ness.
Two gentlemen of this city carried q
series of scientific experiments 10 sue
cessful conclusion yesterday. They
demonstrated that coal oil will not ex-
plode except under pressure, and that
the ordinary cause of explosions of coal
oil is the gas that is generated when the
lamp is allowed TO burn without being
replenished so as to keep it almost but
not quite full
A CASE will DO tried in the Justice S
