The shores q the Caspian abound in
naphtla springs extending for miles
under tho sea, the imprisoned gases OF
this volatile substance often escaping
from assures In its bcd and bubbling up
in largo volumes to the surface. This
Circumstance has given rise to the prac.
tee Of setting tile sea on fire, which
Is thus described by a modern traveller.
Hiring a steam large we put out TO
sea, and, after u lengthy search, found a
suitable spot. Our boat having moved
round to windward, o sailor threw 4
bundle Of burning fla1 into the SEQ, when
fools Of light dispclled the surrounding
darkness. No fireworks, no illumina.
tons, are to be compared to the sight
that presented itself 10 our gaze. 1t was
as though the SEQ trembled conyulively
amid thousands Of shooting, dancing
tongues Of flame Of prodigious size. Now
they emerged from the water, now thoy
disappeared, At one time they scared
aloft and melted away; ut another q gust
Of wind divided them into bright strSaks
Of flame, the foaming, bubbling pillows
making music to the scene. In COM
pliance with the wishes Of some Of the
spectators our barge was aeered towanl
the flames and passed through the midst
Of them, a somewhat dangerous expert
ment, as the barge was employed in the
transport Of naphtha and was pretty well
saturated with the fluid. However, We
escaped without accident and gazed for
an hour longer on the unwontcd spectacle
Of sea on fire. Moscow VelOmoti.

With each recurring fall and winter
the question Of possibility Of fires from
steam pipes becomes one Of importance.
AS the most inSidiOuts diseases ara usually
most to be feared, 90 the most ocuit
causes Of fire are among those which
should be most CAREFULLY looked after. It
. very well known that wood, after re.
manning for some time in contact with
steam, hot air or hot water pipes, be-
comes curbonizSi OH the surface and 10 a
short distance below. The charcoal, Of
colEc, readily vGitizes. When steam Is
not in the piPo The charcoal will absorb
moisture. When again heated the moist.
IRE is driven out, leaving vacuum, into
which the fresh air current, circulating
around the pipes, readily penetrates. Il
imparts oxygen to the charcoal, causes q
more rapid rise in the temperature, till
finally the point Of ignition Is reached.
The riSiug Of the pipes, IL Il occtln,
might also conduce TO the same result,
the rust being reduced by the heat Of the
steam to a condition In which Il will alb
serb oxygen to the point Of red heat.
