SPONTANEOUS
COMBUSTION
Is Said to be the Cause of
Many Fires.
GREASY RAGS AND OIL
Responsible for Many Fires
in Ohio.

Some reformation Concerning
Destruction by Five.
A EpRE MAY START ITSELF.

tlltE MAY START llSBLF.
Spontancou. combustion is the on
ly great fire danger ABOUT which
books have been written, and 1t Is the
cnly one which few people know
about. Fires from this cause usual
ly appear in the newspapers as prob
ably incendiary or of mysterious
origin" What IS known of spontan-
cOus combustion, aside from that
gained in chemical laboratories. comes
entirely from fires wihqh are noticed
when they are starting They soon
destroy the stuff which causes them
and then no one can tell how the
fire started.
The average number OF fires year
from spontaneous combustion in
Ohio Is 1862. or these more than
half are from grease on rags.
TIL CHEMISTRY or COMBUSTION.
The chemistry of spontaneous com
bustion Is not hard to understand it
one knows how a fire burns. Burning
Is the same chemical process in the
ploding dynamite, the only difference
being in the time taken for the oxy-
gen of the air to unite with the car
bon of the wood. If they unite slow
ly. as in the rotting of wood or the
ru.ting of iron or decaying potato,
the heat is borne away unnoticed; ;
II they unite fast enough TO produce
heat that viii roast out and ignite
burning gases, It makes flame; il
so fast that the expansion OF the
water. in the form of steam and tie
carbon dixoid which are made by all
combustion causes shock and noise,
It is an explosion.
HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
In high explosives wood fibre and
chemicals rich in oxygen are COM
blned so that the fibre. cel.ulose, can
be burned in closed space In which
there l. no air. The expansion of gas
formed within the space can throw
cannon ball or split rock. The
most powerful explosive mixture is
one containing two parts of hydrogen
to one part oxygen that being the
proportion necessary to form water
by uniting chemically, The hottest
fires make the most water.
The taking fire Of any material
comes from its being heated so hot
that the hydrogen and canbon in 1t
begin TO unite with the oxygen Of
the air to form carbonic acid gas.
This gas, which l. made up of water
in vapor and carbon dio.id, Is drawn
up the fue by the current of heated
air. The carbon dioxid being slight
" heavier than air falls to furnish
breath for trees and plants while the
watery vapor rises to form clouds
aud return in rain. So, we get back
the product of the burning of our
houses, but after 1t is greatly cheap
ened In value.
Spontaneous combustion, strictly
speaking, l., 'hc igniting OF a sub
stance frol heat caused by chemi-
cal acti =, within itself, but the
word Is gotten used in speaking of
