a few nights ago. When members OF
the family went out for the evening,
daughter blew out the kerosene
lamp. When they returned two hours
later they found that the lamp had
exploded, scattered glass and kero-
sene all about. The kerosene on the
table top had burned, wall paper and
calendar which hung on the wall
had been burned and woodwork was
charred, but puddles of kerosene
which had run to the floor were stlll
standing. The only way in which the
family can account for the fortunate
escape is that the windows and doors
were tightly closed, making it possible
that the fire was smothered out. -Four
canary birds in cage which hung
over the table were singed and black
ened but survived their strange ex-
perience.
