posed to be capable of standing the legal test
of l2o degrees before exploding. A lamp
filled with it exploded. destroying not only
clothing but sl75 in money which lay upon
the table. Some ofthe oil was soon afterwards
tested by $. X. Ilitchings, town Inspector of
kerosene. who found it to be of only 100 de-
grecs, degrees below what is required by
law. The firm of Phillips & Co.. not being
statistic d with the IIitchngs test, applied for
one In Massachusetts, and have delayed the
settlement Of Mrs. Lewis claim made against
them for damages, because the Massachus etts
assayer said 1t was good for 800 degrees
Last month II sample of the oil was sent to
