HIS BREATH CAUGHT FIRE.

Peculiar Case Of Alcoholic Combustion
Reported by - German Specialist.
DR.. Ernest Rosenthal, a renowned
specialist of Magdeburg, reports the
alcoholic combustion of a human being
that took place in Warsaw. The vic
tim was a man named Kolinsky, a dip
somaniac Of long standing.
"This individual, reported DR.. Ros-
entail before the Magdeburg medical
board at its last monthly meeting,
"was not content with consuming all
the liquor he could hold, but likewise
used to battle in vodka occasionally.
Thus little by little all the water and
other liquids in his body were replaced
by alcohol.
There previously had been cases of
spontaneous combustion, and kolinsky
was warned that if he continued the
excessive use Of liquor, internally as
we'll as externally, he might furnish
science with another strange case.
stop.
The catastrophe happened in 10
linsky's dyeing establishment. He
upset q quantity Of benzine, and, with
hands wet with the liquid. ran into his
Office to wash himself. Before doing
so he attempted to light a cigar, and
as he brought the match up to his
mouth the benzine on his hands be-
came ignited, and almost simultan-
eously, it seems, kolinsky's breath
caught fire. 4 blush fame, so say
eye-witnesses, issued from his mouth,
and extended rapidly to all parts of
his body.
"Of course the Mortified spectators
tried to extinguish the flames with
water. but water had no effect on them.
4 thick black smoke arose from the
body and the stencil was awful. The
combustion was only arrested when
kolinsky was a shapeless mass OF
charred flesh and calcined bones"
