BURNING IRON CHIPS.
Combustion Proceeded Exactly az In
a PiIe Of Coal.


To the average man il is inconceiv.
able for iron or steel chips to actually
burn as so much infiammable material.
but nevertheless such Is possible, and
such incidents are the part of positive
record. This phenomenon is explained
by the fact that finely divided iron or
steel may sometimes oxidize faster
than IL can get rid of its heat and
consequently gives signs OF complete
combustion.
A large pile of chips took fire in the
yard OF machine shop not long ago,
and the fire was described by wit
ness as follows: The chips were put
through centrifugal separator, ard
the small amount of oil remaining had
nothing to do with the fire. 1t was n
plain case Of burning iron. The metal
was so finely divided and presented
so much surface 10 the oxygen in pro
portion TO the radiating surface OF the
pile that, once started by the heat
from nearby rubbish pile, the com
bustion proceeded exactly as in pile
of coal, only apparently at more
rapid rate
The metal had not melted Where
the fire had been hottest the chips
were a dark blue. The pile sank about
a third in height. and lot of metal
must have been oxidized TO create so
much heat.-American Machlnist.
