A young man of Cape Ann who COCA.
sionally drinks more liquor than Is good
for him, but is otherwise respectable,
failed to come home one day not long ago
at the usual hour, and his wife, knowing
his weakness, went to look for him. On
the railroad track not far from he house
She saw man lying across the rails; but
the danger Of his position did not imme-
diately occur to her and she was about
to pass by at distance when she heard
the whistle of an approaching train.
Then instantly realizing that lie must be
run over unless she saved him, for the
train was coming round curve, and no
one else was in sight, she ran to where
he lay and succeeded IN rolling him into
the ditch almost from under the wheels
of the locomotive. 1t was not until the
danger was passed that she discovered
that she had saved her husband.

Why "a Kerosene Lamp Bursts
Girls as well as boys need to I'M
derstand about kerosene explosions.
a great many fatal accidents happen
from trying to pour little kerosene
Oh the FIRE to make II kinale better;
also, by pouring oil into lamp when
it is lighted. Most persons suppose
that it is the kerosene itself that ex-
plOdes, and that if they are very
careful to keep the oil itself from be-
ing touched by the FIRE or the light
there will be no danger. But this is
not so. If can or lamp is left
about half full of kerosene oil the oil
will dry up-that is, "evaporate'-a
little aud will form, by ningling
with the air in the upper part, a
very explosive gas. You cannot see
this gas any more than you can see
air. But if it is disturbed aAd driv-
en- out, and a blaze reaches il, there
will be a terrible explosion, although
the blaze did not touch the oil. There
are several other liquids used in
houses and workshops which will pro
duce an explosive vapor in this way
Benzine is one; burning fluid is an
other; and naphtha, alcohol, ether
and chloroform may do the same
thing.
In New York workshop lately
there was can of benzine, or gaso-
line, standing on the floor. A boy
sixteen years old lighted a cigarette.
and threw the burning match on the
floor close to the can. He did not
dream there was any danger, because
the liquor WAS corked up in the can.
But there was great explosion,
and he was badly hurt This seems
very mysterious. The probability is
that the can had been standing a,ers
good while and a gosd deal Of va
por had formed, some of which had
leaked out around the stopper and
was hanging in sort Of invisible
cloud over and ars,snd the can; and
this cloud, when the match struck ii,

Suppose girl tries to fill a Eero~
sene lamp without first blowing it
out. Of coarse the lamp Is nearly
empty or she would not care 10 fill
it. This empy space is filed with
cloud of explosive vapor arising FROM
the oil in the lamp. When she
pushes the nozzle of the can into tbs
lamp at the top, and begins to pour,
the oil, running into the lamp, fills
the empy space ana pushes the cloud
Of explosive yapor up; the vapor is
obliged to pour cut over the edges
Of the lamp, at the top, into tho

against the blazing wick which the
girl is holding down by one side
The blaze of the wick sets the in.

there is an explosion which ignites
the oil and scatters it over her clothes
and over the furniture of the room. 49,
This is the way in which kerosene
lamp bursts. The same thing may
happen when the girl pours the OH
over fire in the range or stove, if
there is cloud of explose vapor in
the upper part of the can, or if the
stove is hot enough to vaporizequick

member, it is not the oil, but the in

this rule: Never pour oil on lighted
