called him ' Spoil," and he answered

stature, bent with ago, ami his scanty
locks were as white ;ih snow.
Most men took him to he a beggar,
er Home old man waiting to din. When ,
I came to know I im 1 found that lie 1
had not a relation on earth. I cannot
name the shop. It was not a tailorslios,
or a slw?e shop, or a junk shop, |

?Sih li was my strange old man. One
night a lire broke out in a building
designed lor a <irug store. The store |
was lurtiished with wuimit shelving
ami counters, ami pine ccaling. Kve.
ry tiling had been oiled and some ol it |
varnished, and the store would have J
been occupied in another week. The j
fire was under good headway when I
discovered, and the whole interior j
was hurtled out.
"What caused it?" I asked a fire- ,
man after the Haines hud been exiin- j
guislied. |
".Some one set fire to it," lie an- ]
Kwercd. j
"Jl you say that you I'm!" cried a
strange voice, and wo looked up and '
lotimi my strange obi man. That was
our introduction. I laughed at him,
but lie maintained such a serious look I
that my curiosity was aroused and I , '
Inquired: '
"Why do you sav that?" : '
"Come with me," he answered, and j<
lie would not let go my arm until we '
stood at (he door ol his little old shop. '
We went in ami sat down, and presently

I was not a believer in spontaneous |

remarks.
"Come hero to.morrow and I will

some further dismission I went away, j
lie had spoken ot spontaneous combustion;

Old Spon was a character lor a

at i he absurdity ol Ins theory, I eallcd

It is now noon; cotr.e hero at 0 o'clock .
this evening.
I went away and almost forgot him
until evening. When I readied Ins
shop he was in good spirits and his
lace wore a bland smile.
"Put your hand on tho box,1' he
said.
I obeyed, and to mv great surprise
found it warm?almost hot.
"You will not have to wait an hour,1
he continued as we sit d ?wn; "comhustioii

So it. had There was a smell of
burning cotton and healed wood, and

"Had 1 no' allowed I lie lio.v to stand
here in the draft tiie tl iiiich would
have consumed it two hours ago."
Within the next week we repeated
the hhiuv experiment, with the same
result, we produced spontaneous comlutsliou
with oiled shavings alone and
then with oiled tags. Since that time
I have witnessed three lires in build
iugs which originated Irom oiled rags.
I'wo ol these WTc in paint Stores,
where the rags had been thiown in a
heap on tin* lloor, and the third was in
a grocery store, where oil had been

I met Oid Spor, on the
street and we walked together. We
passed l?y an old house winch had ju>t
liren convened into a store-room lor
i lie reception of patter tags, and a large
lot was just, being taken in. The old
man looked into the building, then
ictreluMy noted the windows, and as
we walked on lie said :
" They are building a bonlire there!"
"I low V" I asked.
"Every pane ol glass is in place, tinIcons
shut tigln l\, and there is no
cseapc lor the heat engendered itv the j
rags," ha la-plied. "ll they do not j

Ilu was right. On the third night

The superintendent smiled con.

To billow this case through, I will

The cynical mipermtemlant became a j
believer in spontaneous ccmiliMHt ion, i
and the oiled rags are now thrown in- j
to iron boxes lor the night.
A ease in which spontaneous com- j
hu>tion could be more cle.oly triced j

and the old man made an air hole m

The lower sash ol at least one
window should he taken out during
I he summer, and it would he better to
leave an opposite one raised a lew

oiled rags in the basement ol a Detroit
picture store took lire on a hot

basement windows was open lor \en* i

that the smoke poured and gave the
lirst alarm. i
At the Detroit Mouse ol Correction,
in December, 1870, one ol the prison, j
