the checking. of. the outrageous ‘frauds
which have been practiced upon the public
in the matter of keroseae, Although the law .
distinctly declares the manufactureor sale,
far illumiaatingpurposes, of .oil which is
iaflarhmable at a less. temperature ‘than 110°
Fah., to be-a misdemeanor, punishable by
fine and imprisanment, it is notorious, not
only that oil imperfectly freed by distillation from tbe lighter ails is’ sald, but “even
that same dealers , actually. purchase, ata
law price, “these light: ‘oils fram the conscientious, refiners, and add. them, to -heavy
oils, which arethen 8 sold. far domestic use"!
A recent case of the fatal burniag ofa girl,
has brought up the matter. On , investigation before thie courts) theoilan’ questian
was fouad fo burn at 80° Fab:, instead, of
110°; ‘and ‘to vaparize’ at 68°, whereas that
point should be at least 96°. The coroner
very properly,—says the Gas Light, Journal, —*held the-mannfactorersiof; this explosive compaund, Reisser 4 £ Lo. of Wialliamsburgh, to bail iz lin. the sum of "$5, 000

tha Hera ARSan says” that seventy
eight samples of kerasene fram as many differentretail dealers in Rakin, Were tested
by the Board of Health.* _‘‘ Of these one ignited at temperature)of 18°, whiles large
majority -of the otbers. showed rae burning
point between 44° and, 100°; very few indeed
going higher than the latter,and.only one
specimen in the entire list possessing all the
characteristics, essential .in .an,absolutely
safe burning, oil. Other samples were sub>

jected to annlysis to determine the relative:
proportion in them of the dangerous fluids;
and some of these showed the presence of
benzine, gasoline, naphtha, etc., in quantities varying from six to‘ ninety per cent,
The specimen containing the last-mentioned
percentage was about as appropriate to the
burner of a kerosene lamp as a coating of
nitro-glycerine would be to the =e of a
blacksmith’s anvil.
