INSPECTOR DELLING
TRIES AN EXPERIMENT
Which Results in "A Miniature Vcsu-
Wan Outbreak, and He Is Now
Nursing Burned Hands.

This morning while on duty at
the ferry Customs Inspector Blaze
Delling was treated to a miniature
volcanic eruption, which came to him
rather in the nature of a surprise.
The lead in the scale weights used
in weighing articles imported into
this country had been lost in some
manner and Inspector Delling 'Opin-
ed" he would fix the weights by
pouring into them some hot lead
which he accordingly did The lead
however refused to stick TO the
weights and Inspector Delling
thought that he would try to remedy
this by first pouring into the weights
some acid which he happened to
have. But when he tried to pour
the hot lead into the cold acid, some
thing happened. No sooner did the
hot metal hit the cold acid, than,
with a ''fiz," the metal flew all
over Inspector Delling, burning his
hands in several places. His wounds,
however, are not regarded as very
serious, and he will be able TO con-
tinue at his post of duty at the fer
ry, provided he does not try TO fix
any more scale weights.
