DANGEROUS THINGS TO HANDLE

Peril to Human Life.

Thousands of people ere handing

instance is a bomb, and an exceeding
lv powerful one to boot, charged as
it frequently is, up to a pressure Oh

which ladies are so fond nowadays OF

Nor is this to be greatly wondered
at, seeing that one of the ingredients
to celluloid is guncotton, while anotn-
er is camphor, than which is no more
infiammable substance known to
chemists.
Iodide of nitrogen, for instance
which is frequently prescribed in com
bination with other drugs, is highly
explosive chemical, and accidents have
happened over and over again through
its incautious handling by persons ig-
norant Of its dangerous properties.
