farmer bought pound of powder, q
pair of shoes and a new tin pan, and
putting them into the back of his
wagon, started for home. He was
not smoking and no fire was about
the wagon, but mile out of town
the powder exploded, knocking him
out of the wagon, almost tearing
his clothes off and burning him terri
bly, about the face and body. The
bright tin pan acted as a concave
mirror to concentrate the rays of
the sun to a focus on the powder,
hence the novel explosion.
