Mere Coal Oil Horrors.

To the Editor Of the National Republican:
SIR: Ever since the Introduction OF illuminat-
ing oils into use for household purposes the gene
raj public have been daily shocked, even appalled,,
at the never-ceasing, never-ending chapter of &C.
cIdents, by which both life and property have
been destroyed.
One of the most heartrendlng "coal oil holo-
causts" on record occurred last week in the city
Of Brooklyn, New York, whereby the lives Of o
mother and her four innocent children were sacri-
feed. The unfortunate victims of this sad
affair, it appears, were seated at round table,
tuition of the mother, when suddenly the large
lamp, which had been placed in the centre Of the
table, filled with "patent safety oil, /" suddenly
stream of liquid fire and burning their faces and
bodies in such shocking manner as to cause
almost instantaneous death. 1t was by miracle
alone that the house over their heads was saved
from being consumed.
The continued frequency Of accidents such as
the foreR DING, even in our own midst, has caused
once lethargic. but now thoroughly aWakensd,
dangers by which they were surrounded through
the use ofilluminating oils.
city has lately made q selection of illuminating
oils from the stock Of twelve dealers in this city
and, after having submitted them to q chemical
sraiyZatioD, says that the result OF the purchase
Of his twelve samples Of coal oil shows that nine
Of the samples were "highly dangerous and three
"very unsafe" In determining tie danger the
examiner was guided by the temperature OF the
Gil in an ordinary lamp after 1t had been burning
some time. He found that the danger of explo.
sion arises from all oils which give OF vapors 10
the lamp when these vapors become mixed with
air. In nine Of the twelve samples of oil selected
vapors would be given at the ordinary tempera.
ture of the oil in the lamp in use. The result OF
the chemical analysis shows very cenclusively the
highly DANGEROUS character Of "kerosene," !" "safe.
ty" and all other so-called mon. explosive oils, "
and certainly demands some legislation upon the
SMILAX.
