The danger of acetyline gas when
improperly handled was demon
strated at the Ryan hotel Tuesday
evening, and as aresult J. P. Palmer
was seriously burned about the face
and the skin of both hands literally
cooked, says the Fairfax Standard.
The accident was caused bv Mr..
Palmer attempting TO fix the gener
ator when the lights got low about
ten o'clock in the evening. From
explanations given, it appears that
in attempting to cause a more
rapid generation of gas, the tank got

The contact produced great heat,

causing terrible burns. A ply
stefan was sent for, but his best
efforts could relieve but partially
the agony which the injured man
has been suffering since.
