standing at the front and side of
the room. He lighted a match and
looked under the oven: The eX-
plosion came. The iron oven
doors were blown open, one Of
them just missing the head of
Mr.. Hoffman, who was crouched
low. His eyebrows and hair were
singed but otherwise he was un-
hurt.
It is believed that the, mop be-
ing used in scrubbing the floor
struck one of the gas jets, opening
it. The oven is unused.
The big window closest to the
oven was untouched, although a
small side window at the entrance
was shattered The front window
on the other side of the noon was
smashed into bits, and cakes and
pies were blown into the street.
