The Deadly Vapor That Stays After

The Deadly Vapor That Stays After
the Petroleum Is Gone.
The explosion Of vessels carrying pc
troleum frequently occurs. and this Is
generally caused not by the cargoes Of
oil which they contain, but by the In
fammable vapor which IS left behind
after the huge tanks of the ships have
been emptied.
Ii is difficult to remove all the oil
that adheres to the sides Of the tank.
and the evaporation Of the oil film
left in them after they have been
pumped out takes place with great
rapidity. Moreover, the vapor thus
formed minges readily with the air
and IS capable of rendering more than
1000 times its own volume of the for
mer intiammable. A spark may thus
cause fearful explosion In the hold
of ship that is apparently empty.
A film Of petroleum spreading over
the surface of the water has been
known to produce enough OF this yola-
tile and dangerous vapor 10 cause a

How the Movable Effect Is Obtained
In Electrical Designs.
A great many electric signs are of
the moving type. Walk down most
any city street after dark and you
will see many Illuminated signs OF
novel and interesting design Here
long red and blue snake seems to be
wiggling from the street to the top of
a building. On the other side wheel
is rapidly revolving, below 1t yellow
smoke is issuing in clouds from huge
brown cigar, There is also a large
theater sign which suddenly flashes
into view. only to disappear after an
interval long enough to read It.
1t is quite puzzling to the ordinary
pedestrian to explain the wonderful
light effects. 1t is apparent that the
light is obtained from electricity, but
this is about all that is understood. In
such signs as where a snake seems to
be wriggling along. cat chases rat,
words that spell themselves letter by
letter and in all other similar signs the
effect is produced by mechanical
device called a flasher" which lights
the tiny electric sign lamps In the or
der required to produce the effect
This flasher is driven by tiny motor
The flasher is made up of number
Of fingers, and each finger drops In its
turn upon metal plate that is cleo
trically connected with certain letter
or series OF letters, or, in the case Of
the snake or rat chasers. with certain
bulbs. The flasher is driven rapidly,
and in this way the snake can be
speeded around its course very swift
ly. Where the only effect desired is a
sign in which one letter is illuminated
at time the flasher becomes a much
simpler device, but in all cases the un-
DERIVING principle is the same.-New
York Tribune.
