WEY AND WHEN LAMPS EXPLODE.

All explosions of coal oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that col
lects in the space above the oil. When
full of oil, of course lamp contains no
gas, but Immediately on lighting the
lamps, consumption of oil begins, soon
leaving a place for gas, which com,
mences to form as the lamp warns up,
and, after burning a short time, sufic
lent gas will accumulate to form an ex.
plosion. The gas in lamp will ex~
plode only when ignited. In this res
pect 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 in all the 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, i. is essential
that it move up and down with perfect
ease. In this way it 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 ex-
plode the lamp.
l. A lamp may be standing on a
table or mantel, and slight puff of
air from the open window or the sud
den opening of a door, cause an ex-
plosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quickly
from table or mantel'and instantly ex
plode.
3. A lamp is taken into m entry
where there Is draft, or out Of doors,
and an explosion ensues.
4. A lighted lamp is taken up a
flight of stairs, or is raised quickly to
place it on the mantel, resulting in an
explosion. In all these cases the mis-
chief is done by the air movement
either by suddenly checking the draft,
or forcing air down the chimney against
the flame
5. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light is a frequent
cause Of explosion.
6 Lamp explosions have been
caused by using chimney broken off
at the top, or one that has piece bro
ken out, whereby the draft is variable
and the flame unsteady.
7. Sometimes thoughtless person
puts small sized wick in larger
burner, thus leaving considerable space
along the edges of the wick.
s. An old burner, with5its air drafts
clos eyed up, which rightful]y should be
thrown away, is sometimes continued
in use, and the final result is all explos.

MY LOST FRIEND.

Even while he was counting, l kept
my hold on him. Against opposition
on the part of his bride and her family
he stipulated bravely that I should be

THE LOST CHILD.

There is little story going the round
OF the press, that made deep impress
sion on me as father A father took
his little child ont into the field on one
Sabbath and he lay down under bean
tiful shady tree, it being hot day. The
little child ran about gathering blades
of grass and wild flowers, and coming
to his father and saying, "Pretty, pref
tyr! AT last the father fell asleep, and
while he was aleep the child vans
dered away. When he awoke, his first
thought was, Where is my child I? He
looked all around, but he could not see
him. He shouted at the top of his voice
and all he heard was the echo Of his own
voice. Running to little hill. he look
ed around and shouted again, but all he
heard was the echo of his own voice.
No response! Then going to preci-
plce at some distance, he looked down,
and there upon the rocks and brers, he
saw the maneled form of his beloved
child. He rushed to the spot, took up
took up the liteless body and Rugged it
TO his bosom, and accused himself of be-
ing the murderer of his own dear child.
While he was sleeping the child had
wandered over the precipice. l thought
as heard that, what a picture of tie
church Of God. How many fathers and
mothers, how many Chistian men and
women, are sleeping while their children
wander over the terrible precipice a
thousand times worse than that preci-
pice, right into the bottomless pit of
hell. Father, where is your boy to-
night? He may be just out here in
some public house, he may be Keeling
through the streets of London, drunk
he may be pressing on down to drunk-
ards grave. How many fathers and
mothers there are now in London-yes
praying Christians, too-whose children
are wandering away while they are sleep
ing. Is it not time that the church of
God should wake up and come to the
Lord as one man, and strive to beat
back those dark waves of death that roll
through onr streets. bearing upon their
bosom the noblest young men we have?
Oh, my God, wake up the church! And
let us trim our lights and go forth and
work for the kingdom of God.-D. e.
Moody.

4 BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

There have been SO many beautiful
things said and written about death, and
SO many consoling and happy concep
lions of the souls existence after death
that he must be bold writer indeed to
essay to engage the readers attention
with an extended article on this subject
A few days ago while reading an arti~
Gle in the Eclectic Magazine of recent
date, we were touched with the closing
paragraph. Ii the reader does not agree
with us that the idea and language of
this writer is ''beautiful exceedingly"
then we think he has never yet touched
his ear to the lips of a dying child:
"Never think, reader, that the dear
one you have seen die, had fan to go 10
meet God after they had parted from
you. Never think, parents, who have
seen your children die, that after they
left you, :hey had to traverse dark sol~
itary way, along which you would have
liked Gf it had been possibly to lead
them by the hand, and bear them COM
pany till they come TO the presence of
Gid. You did so if you stood by them
till the last breath was drawn. You did
bear them company into Cod presence,
if you only staid beside them until they
died. The moment they left you they
with Him. The sight pressure Of the
cold fingers fingered with YOU yet but
the little child was with the Saviour.

LITTLE TH1NGs.--Little words are the

little flakes are the stillest; little hearts
the fondest and little farms the best

and little songs the dearest loved And
when Nature would make any thing es
pecially rare and beautiful, she makes
it little--little pearls, little diamond, Its
tie dew. Agar's is model prayer, yet
it is but little one, and the burden of
The petition is but for little. The SER

dedication was an hour. Life is made
up of Titles, death is what remains of
them all. Day is made up of little
beams, and night is glorious with little

divulge the secret and so bring down the
contempt of all the guild upon the poor
fellow. But the boat was not more than
