Fires In Laundries.

An investigation by DIR. Richter OF
Hamburg shows that most of the fire.
that occur IN laundries where benzine j.
used TO wash clothes are due TO electric
sparks caused by friction Of the benzinf
and the clothing as the latter is with
drawn from the bath. In Hambur2
alone Is out of 81 fires were due to this
cause. Experiments showed that wooden
materials become positively electritieo
and the benzine negatively, and that the
difference of electrical tension causes q
discharge strong enough to give a painfu
shock, producing sparks two inches lon2
in some instances and lighting up thu

may be prevented by charging the air II
