Fires Started by Moths.

Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
that danger could arise therefrom.
The insects are of such frall struc-
ture that generally they get Destroy
ed before It is possible for them
to infiict injury, and it is hardly
creditable that the wings would ig-
mite and retain the flames long
enough to enable the moth to fly to
its surroundings.
That. however, has occurred. The
moth was very large one and its
wings must have been very dry, so
that when 1t floundered through the
fame it set fire to one wing and
darted out to curtain nearby which
at once Haired up. 1t is possible that
many summer evening fires in the
country could be attributed to a
source of this kind. It is notorious
that mysterious fires often arise at
