Explosion. ~
| A private acetyline lighting plant in /:
large saloon at Cass Lake exploded thi
week and blew the roof off the buildin,
and killed two and injured several 9th
ers. Private acetyline light plants ar,
all right when proderly handled, but tn.
trouble is that in such plants there is :
strong liability OF somebody being arounc
them who is ignorant of the danger O
fire when it comes in contact with the
gas and then comes an explosion. Such
danger is reduced to the minimum where
the gas IS made at central plant unde,
the charge of intelligent men. Though
after all it don't take much intelligence
there is only one thing to learn and thai
is if you furnish the fame the gas viii do
the rest. But there is almost no danger
Of explosion in the house supplied from
the central plant. 1T is easy to figure; a
"half-foot" burner wide open all night
would only mean the admission of 4 hall
foot Of gas into closed room for say ten
hours, or total Of FIVE feet. Now be-
fore acetyline gas can become explosive
Tor dangerous to human life by breath
ing) it must be mixed with common air
