In view Of the many recent accidents
resulting from the explosion OF ilumina-
tin. oils. which have been advertised as
non-cXplolive, ii has come to be generally
discussed by the newspapers throughout
the country whether more stringent laws
should not be passed, looking to a rigid
inspection of these dangerous oils which
have been palmed upon the people under
the high recommendation of being per-
tcctly safe. SO many instances have oc-
cured where customers have been
duped into buying these oils, under the
assurance that perfect safety from cX-
posions could be guaranteed. which re.
COMMUNICATION has, TO the COS, Of many,
been proved TO be utterly mistake, that
general feeling Of dis,rust has en-
sued. We're statistics TO be gathered rs
to the number of deaths, after long and
eycrutiating suffering. from explosions
of oil lamps. what q terrible array Of fig
ures could he produced. As
to the destruction of proper
ty, aud the consequent los,
to merchants. capitalists and insurance
companies, arising from explosions from
this cause. who eau estimate the value
destroyed:
# is now generally conceded that the
only safe illumination is gas. Far too
many have learned this from the painful,
experience of having property destroyed
and loved ones hurried to an untimely
end from fearful injuries resulting from
the explosion OF oil lamps. The follow
from the "Polytechnic Review hits the
nail on the head.
1--WE have lately noticed with satisiac-
ton the record OF decision by the
Supreme Court of louisiana, affirming
liability OF advertisers of non-eXplosive
oils tor damages, in the event OF accident
or injury resulting from their use. The
petroleum Inspection laws of this State,
which, If properly enforced. ght be
afford very reasonable degree Of secur-
ity to the users of burning oils, have
proved in practice (Which introduces The
personal cquation) so utterly Inefficient
a. to be generally admitted TO be worth
less. Perhaps the prosecution Of un-
scrupulous compoundcrs Of benzne
mixtures and combinations may lead to
something more tangible in the way Of
protecting lie and property" c. y.
