Fires Started by Moths.

Moths and flames are universally
connected, yet few people suspect
that danger could arise therefrom.
The insects are Of such fran struc-
ture that generally they get destroy
ed before it is POSSIBLE for them
to indict injury, and it is bsrdIy
creditable that the wings would ig-
mite and retain the flames long
enough to enable the moth to fig to
ifs surroundings.
That. however, has occurred. The
moth was q very large one and its
wings must have been very dry. so
that when # f0undered through the
fame it set fire to oue wing and
Garted out to a curtain nearby which
at once fared MP. II is possible that
many summer evening fires in the
country could be attributed TO a
source of thts kind. It IS notorious
