Is Iron Rust a Cause OF Fire,

When oxide of iron is placed in con-
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere and aided by a slightly in
creased temperature the oxide will
part from its oxygen and is converted
into very finely divided particles OF
metallic iron. having such an affinity
for oxygen that when afterward ex-
posed to the action OF the atmosphere
from any cause. oxygen is so rapidly
absorbed That these particles become
suddenly rod hot aud If in sufficient
quantity will produce temperature
far beyond the ignition point OF dry
timber Wherever iron pipes are EN-
ployed for the circulation OF any heat
ed medium, whether hot water, hot
air or steam. and the pipes allowed
to become rusty in close con-
tact with timber it is only necess airy
to suppose that under these circum
stances the particles OF metallic iron
become exposed to the action OF the
atmosphere and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction OF
the pipes in order to account for many

LONDON, January9 1901 The HORTICULTURE
papers are renewing their attack on American
apples, on the ground that they contain arsenic.
and the attacks are being generally copied In
the daily press. The charge is that growers
sprinkle arsenic on their trees TO prevent the
ravages of a moth which eats nothing but apples
ana pears. al the papern do not TAX 0 the same
SIDE, ana one points out the weakness OF the
charge. as arsenic would not be applied when
the trees are in fruit. The editor Of the Horti.
cultural Times is the author OF the "arscnc
scare" as II Is called here. Immense quantities
OF American apples are sold in England and
bring high prices which perhaps explains the
reason for the attack.
