Mhz aua when Lamp. Ezploas.

All explosions OF coaloil lamps are caused BY
the yapor or gas that collects In the space above
the OIL When full OF oil, of course, 8 lamp con-
tains no gas, but, Immediately on lighting the
lamp, consumption of oT::begins, soon leaving
space for gas, which commences to form as the
lamp warns up, and, after burning q short time,
sufficient gas will accumulate 10 cause an explo-
siop. The gas In q lamp Will explode only when
ignited. In this respect It Is like gunpowder.
Cheap or inferior oil Is always the most danger
Gus. The fame is communicated to the gas In the
following manner: The wick tube 10 all lamp
burners is made larger than the wick which is to
pass through It. 1t would not do to have the
wick work tightly in the burner; on the contrary,
It is essential that it move up and down with per-
feet ease In this way Il Is unavoidable that space
in the tube Is left along the sides Of the wick
sufficient for the flame from the burner to pass
down into the lamp and explode the gas. Many
things may occur TO cause the flame to pass down
the wick and explode the lamp: I. lamp may
be standing on q table or mantel, and slight
puff OF air from the open window, or the sudden
NAV be taken up Quickly from table or msutsi
and instantly explode; 3. A lamp Is taken into al
entry where there ia draft, or out OF doors, and
an explosion ensues; 4. A lighted lamp Is taken
M fiight OF stairs, or Is raised quickly 10 place
II on the mantel, resulting in sn explosion. In
all these cases the mischief is lone BY the air
movement, either by suddenly ehecSinS the
draft or forcing air down tho chimney against
the fame; 5. Blowing down the chimney to ex-
tiDguish the flame Is a frequent cause OF explo-
sion; &. Lamp explosions have baen elused oy
using \ chimney broken of at the TOP or one that
has n piece broken cut, whereby the dratt Is va
ris bic and the flame unsteady: :. Sometimes =

Centennial National Costume.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., November IS, 1875.
To the Editor Of the National Republican:
sIE: Mrs Abba Gould woOlson and the dress
reform committee have done wonders in having
invented ladies' under-germents 1t once CON-
Portable, healthfui and economical, and in having
induced so great q number Of fashionable women
TO adopt the same as will undoubtedly insure
the success Of the movement through all classes
Of society;i but while the reform garments are
ali they are represented, they fail TO meet the
siiy. walk out in wet weather. This want IS es-
peciaily felt by ladies In the Departments COM

.eloskte more from necessity than from choice for
they naturally hate them, and Il must Do admit
ted that these garments are damaging to the
most faultlees beauty; the dresses and petticoats
pinned up underneath the cloak makes shape
less bunch of the prettiest figure, and hardly saves
the skirts It covers from absorbing the moisture

the wealthy, who may drive out In Dad weather
But why not have q national street costume-a

1hs Primo. of Wsl.. in Bombay.

A special dispatch to the London Times gives
the following account Of the reception OF the
Prince Of Wales In Bombay:
The Prince, who wore the uniform Of Q Field
Marshal, was received on landing BY Sir Philip
Wodshouse, Governor OF Bombay; Lord Napier,
of Mogdala, commander-tn-chtef IN India; the
Hon.. Sir Michael r. Westropp, Chief Justice In
bombay, and other high civil and military ON
cials. Upward Of seventy native princes, chiefs.
and sIrdars in glittering oriental costumes, were
also present. An address Of welcome was pre-
sented by the Municipality OF Bombay, to which
the Prince briefly replied brilliant procession
was then formed, which proceeded at . slow pace
toward the Government House. Troops lined the
road as far ss th native town, from which point
the way was kept by the police.
sSThe greeting given by the people TO His Royal
Highness was at once cordial and respectful. The
utmost enthusiasm was manifested along the
whole line Of route, dense, seething mass ofpeo-
pie Of all castles occupying every inch OF standing
room, from the ground to the house tops. 1t Is
computed that nearly two hundred thousand per-
sons came from the M0fussil alone. As the
Prince neared certain points the excitement In
creased, the mob gathering round the carriage
and catching the enthusiasm Of the Europeans.
Nevertheless, excellent order prevailed. His
Royal Highness looked very well, and appeared
highly gratified with the demonstration in his
honor The whole city Is splendidly decorated,
and there is a series of eight triumphal arches
along the route taken by the procession"
