COAL OIL.
How 10 make it Nou-Explosiys.

now 10 make II NOn-EXpl0S1Ve.
On invitation Of Mr.. S. S. Mann q number OF
gentlemen assembled last night at the Board Of
Trade rooms to witness some new developments
concerning the explosion Of hydro-carbon lamps
Mr.. Mann had placed on q table in the room nine
lamps filled with oil and lighted, on which he
experimental. At $50 O'Clock he stated that his
purpose in inviting the gentleman to be present
was to make some practical demonstration In
order to difuse correct knowledge oil the subject
to the public. He asked that meeting be organ
lied by the selection Of q chairman, a secretary
and a committee to make inspection OF the plan
proposed and make q written report, in order that
Il may benefit those who burn this oil.
Prof. Elliott was chosen chairman and DR.. Ia
Dor secretary. Messrs. O'Sullivan, Mann, Ounan
and the president and secretary were selected as
the committee.
Mr.. Mann said further that nothing was more
clearly convenient than coal oil. Carbon oils
were more generally used IN housekeeping. 1t
was O necessity and was the cheapest, and the
fault It has was that It was dangerous. BY his
process It could be used with safety, and BY
actual demonstration he had learned this great
fault.
The committee then examined his devise, for
which he has patent, which will 1T any ordinary
lamp, and II Is claimed by Mr.. Mann to prevent
explosion. He clearly demonstrated by actual
tests why his devise was superior In preventing
the explosion Of lamps and how the present dan
ger could be obviated. The tests were highly
satisfactory to his audience, and after witnessing
several experiments they departed.

FIRE,
Carelessnesa Of a Boy.

Last night about $50 O'Clock an alarm was
turned in from the Central guard house, caused
by the discovery Of fire in the cellar Of the cigar
store Of Mr.. Frank H. Finley, on Pennsylvania
avenue, between Ninth and Tenth streets. The
department responded promptly, but was not re-
quired to enter into service. 1t is supposed that
the IRE originated through the carelessness Of a
boy, who went into the cellar q short time
previous to the discovery, with light, TO obtain
some coal and setting Il down near the boxes
ignited them without knowing It. Its early ais.
eoTeTy doubtless prevented what might have re-
suited in q serious confagration.
