COAL OIL.
A Government Test-ll Oils Usel to b. Care
fully Insnacted


Tie Board OF Steamboat Supervisors which has
been In session in this city for some days past
has carefully considered the subject, and after
mature deliberation will submit draft Of bill
to be engrafted in the law regulating commerce
and navigation and regulating:steam vessels. to
provide standard By which a safe illuminating
oil may be determined upon for use as stores
upon such vessels, is as follows:
mo products OF petroleum shall be used upon
any steam vessel for Illuminating purposes that
will ignite at lower temperature than one hun
dred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit
In event sf dispute the said test shall be de-
termined by what is known as the LOCKWOOD
formula, by official experts as appointed for the
commerce OF the country TO make such tests.
Formula. l so Tagliabues or such other we'll de-
Of export oil. Put oil IN glass cup in water bath
heat with slcOhol, small flame with thermome-
ter suspended in the oil so that the bulb is Just
covered. " hen the thermometer indicates ninety
degrees remove the lamp and let il run up to
ninety-iye, and with a small bead Of FIRE on the
end OF string held within quarter Of an inch
OF the oil try for fash. Replace the lamp and
Work the oil up gradually IRON this point re-
moving the lamp every four degrees, and let the
ing or replacing the lamp. When the surface Of
the oil takes IRE and burns the temperature in
dicated upon the thermometer shall be the ..hre
test CT the oil being tested.
OILS which stand this test, 1t is asserted BY eX-
peTts, are absolutely safe, and those which Oaly
reach 10 degr are comparatively safe, but be-
10" mat POINT all grades are dangerous. and
toubly dangerous in the hands Of careless and in
experienced persons, who, as O rule, are the prin.
cipal consumers. A scientific gentleman who
was. by invitation Of the board, present secured
several samples of ell sold in the District and on
testing ii found that the very best only gave re-
suit OF - degrees, and the sthers were far below
that, thus accounting for the frequent accidents
by its use. On OnC or two OccasIo IS the Board of
Health have attempted TO secure he appoIntne ept
by de Commissioners Of the District Of an in
spectnr Of oils but thus far have been unsuccess-
ful. Frightened, as they have right TO be- by
the rapidly increasing nun Der OF fires from coal
oil explosions, the Boa:d Of Fire Commissioners
at recent meeting, took action on the subject
and II is TO be hoped that at an early day this
much.needtd ONCE will be created, and those
who have 10 use oil for Illuminating purposes Will
he served with the commodity of such standard
as will guarantee its safety. Until this is done
accidents must continue to occur
