HOW TO EXPLODE A LAMP.

The Scientific American gives some
of the circumstances which leads to
the explosion of kerosine lamps, the
philosophy all of them being that the
fame passes down the wick and ig-
mites the vapor which accumulates in
the upper portion of the lamp. This
vapor is not an explosive as the term
is ordinarily understood, but when it
is confined SO that the gates resulting
from it's combustion cannot escape
freely to the open air, the vessel con-
timing it will be shattered. This ig-
milton of the vapor may be brought
about as follows:
l.. A lamp may be standing On a
table Or mantel, and a slight puff of
air from the open window or door
may cause an explosion.
2. A lamp may be taken up quick
ly from a table or mantel and instant
ly explode.
8. A lamp is taken out into the
entry where there is a 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 these cases the
mischief is done by the air movement
either by suddenly checking the
draft, or forcing air down the chimney
against the fame.
5. Blowing down the chimney to
extinguish the light is a frequent
aus of explosion.
6. Lamp explosions have been
caused by useing a chimney broken
off at the top, Oh one that has a piece
broken out, whereby the draft is
variable and the fame unsteady.
z. Sometimes a thoughtless person
puts a small wick into a large burner,
thus leaving considerable space along
the edge of the wick. An old bur-
ner with its air draft clogged up,
which rightfully should be thrown
is sometimes con tinued in use,
and the final result is an explosion.

TEACH Fl BOYS.

Teach them that a true lady may
be found in calico quite as frequent al

Teach them that a common school
education, with common sense, is far
better than a college education with
out it.
Teach them that one good, honest
trade, well mastered, is worth a dozen
beggarly professions.
Teach them that honesty is the
best policy-that it's better to be
poor than to be rich on the profits OF
CROOKED whisky" etc., and point
your precept by the examples of those
who are now suffering the torments
of the doomed.
Teach them to respect their elders
and themselves.
Teach them that, as they expect to
be men some day, that they cannot
too 500 learn to protect the weak and
the helpless.
Teach them by your own example
that smoking in moderation, though
the least of the vices to which men
are heirs, is disgusting to others and
hurtful to themselves.
Teach them to wear patched clothes
is no disgrace, but to rear a black
eye is.
Teach them that God is no respec-
ter of sen, and that when he gave the
seventh commandment, He meant it
for them as well as for their sisters.
Teach them that by i~ndulging their
depraved appetites in the worst forms
Of dissipation, they are uniting
themselves to become the husbands
of pure girls.
