WHY KEROSENE LAMPS. BURST.
Girls, as well as boys, need to uriderstani
about kerosene explosions. A great many
fatal accidenti happen from trying -to pour
a little kerosene on ithe fire to make it kindle
better, also by pouting oil into a lamp while
it is lighted. Mod pen4ons suppose that it
is the ketosene itself which explodes, and if
they,are very careful to keep the oil its&
from' being touched by the fire or the light
there will be no danger. But this is not so.
If a ean or a lamp is left abrint half full of
kerosene oil the -oil 'will dry up—that is
" evaporate —a little, , and will form, by
mingling with the air it the upper 'part, a
very explosive gas. Yon cannot see this,gas

There are several otber liquids used in
houses and workshops which *ll produce

threw the burning match close to the can.
He did not dream there was any danger, be."
cause the liquid was Corked up in the can.
But time was a great explosion-and he was,
badly hurt. This seems very mysterious.
The probability is that the can had been
standing there a good while and a good deal
of vapor had formed, some of which had
leaked out around the dropper and was hang
ing in a sort of an invisible cloud over and
aroma the can : and this *cloud, when the
match struck it, eiptoded.
Suppose a girl tries to fill a lierer,rene lamp
without first blowing it out. Oicoarse the
lamp hi nearly empty or she would not- care
to fill it. This empty space is filled with a
