How Kerosene Lamps Explode and How to Make Them Safe

~ VERY little while we hear of the ex-
plosion OF a kerosene lamp, at

sons who happen to be near. writes the
editor Of The Travellers Standard. In the
public mind there is something mysterious
about these lamp Notwithstanding
that calls for explanation They are
usually attributed 70 the poor grade Of the
oil. or 10 some other cause unknown TO the
owner or user of the lamp, or beyond his
or her control.
There is nothing actually explosive about
the oil itself, whatever its grade may be.
Explosions are due to the ignition Of mix
lures OF oil-vapor and air. and they are
more likely 10 occur when using a low
grade oil than when using one Of higher
grade, because the low grade oil contains
larger proportion of light volatile hydro
carbons, and it, therefore, gives of vapor
more freely But whether the oil be high
grade or low grade, its vapor will not ex-
plode unless il is mixed with air in a suit
able proportion, and fired by direct con-

tact with a spark or a fame
The quantity Of oil-vapor generated IN
The reservoir Of the lamp depends upon the
temperature or the reservoir, as well as
upon the nature OF the ola high tenn
perature causing a marked increase IN the
vaporization. II is, therefore, advisable to
keep the temperature OF the oil reservoir
as low as practicable.
AL lamps should be kept as cool as their
construction will permit. however. For
example they should not be allowed TO
stand on, over, or near hot stoves, regis
tiers, or radiators. They should also be
kept as nearly full as possible. so that the
space occupied by the oil-vapor may be
small.
For fame 10 gain access TO the interior
Of the reservoir there must be an open
ing OF some kind, through which II can
pass The opening may be due to the
omission of the plug or cap from the fill
ing aperture. or II may be due TO break
in the reservoir. or to other causes. More
often, however, the explosion takes place
because the wick does not fit the lamp
properly. II the wick is too small. so that

Financial and Market Letter

The following letter has been sent
ont by The American Live Stock &
Loan Company, American Commission
Company, Union Stock Yards, Denver
Colorado, and is well worth your read
ing and considering.
These statements regarding business
conditions, or Financial Letters" will
be issued by US from time to time, and
sent free to our customers and friends.
The demand for them has become 80
great that we have decided to curtail
the frequency Of their issue rather
than the number distributed.
We shall not have much to say about
such things as the cattle market "being
ten higher or ten lower" or "the de-
mand for Gamer cows" but will try
to coniine our remarks to fundamental
conditions, business prospects. and the
financial situation. all of which may
aid some Of our farmland friends to
keep little better in touch with what
is going on in the great world "out-
side Of their pasture fence" and "off
the range" as 1t were. We have al
ways claimed that stock-growers pay
too little attention to general condi-
tions Of business, and for that reason
have missed many opportunities and
have frequently made bad moves in
their business.
This is the close of an eventful year:
with great foreign war going on and
new financial system being introduce
ed, the Foot-and-Mouth disease still
prevalent in many states, many factor
les closed down or running on greatly
reduced time. railways in most cases

Oaiy O.e CAaase In County OAseIslS

Oniy One Change In County OAReials
At this time in many counties there
are many changes being made in Coun-
ty officers AZ the newly elected are
taking the place of those who have
served their time but in Sedgwick
County there is but one change and
that is in the County Superintendent
of Schools. Miss Bess Law has filed
her Bond and Oath OF Office and Mrs
BabcOck has again taken up the duties
of private life. Miss Law is talented
educated lady who is in every way
qualified to fill this important office
which Mrs. BabcOck has filled SO ac-
ceptably the past four years. and we
expect to see our high standard of
education maintained or bettered in
the coming two years but at this time
1t may not be amiss to call our read
ers attention to what has been ac-
complished in the past four years. In
the County High School the CONNER
cial Department has been installed
and much good work has resulted
therefrom, in addition the Domestic
Science and Art Departments have
been added and our graduates have
therefore gone out with broader
mind and a better ability to cope with
the duties Of life. In the Rural schools
uniform text books and County
Course of study have been put in SO
that no matter where our children 90
to school they are studying from the
same books and doing the same work
In bidding Miss Law welcome to hel
' new Office we do so feeling that she
is the right person for the place but In
bidding Mrs. Babcock goodbye We
feel that she has done much in the
improvement and development of oul

| Denver Is to have It's annual cOmbin-
alton stock show horse show, poultry
, show. agricultural exposition and baby
contest at the StOckyards' Stadium in
January. 1t will be held under the aus
pices of the Gentlemen Riding and
Driving Club backed by the different
commercial organizations of the city
The date fixed is the week of January
Is.
The final decision regarding the ex-
hibition was reached when the city
commissioners agreed to donate $4,000
to the show. The amount originally
was appropriated to the stock show
; people. When they decided to postpone
the event for year on account of the
prevalence in Eastern states of the
foot and mouth disease, the commiss-
toner's withdrew the city's offer.
A committee of several of the lead
ing merchants and business men wait
ed upon the commissioners. 1t was ex-
, planned that the various civic and COM
mercfal bodies have requested the last
named club to hold the big show in its
name, and that they are back Of the
exposition, financially and otherwise.
The directors of the National Horse
and Stock show we're with the COM
mittee before the council and approved
the plans as outlined These call for
holding Of the show along the usual
lines. with the exception that no breed
ers are to be shown in any of the
classes. 1t was stated that the only
possible danger of infection from the
foot and mouth disease would be in
these classes. and by barring them the
show would lose very little from the
spectators viewpoint, and all chances
Of spreading the disease to Colorado
would be eliminated
1t was announced that the railroads
have restored the one-fare rate for
the round trip from any point in the
state. good the week of the show, with
materially reduced rates from nearby
states. These rates originally were an
nounced, then Cancelled last week when
the stock show was declared of.
