Msny k'od terrible arc the uccideuts annually from ;ho use cf kerosene or co il oil, and anything a regard to testing illuminating oils and [tow to use them \\i 1 be of valuable interest io all. The hollowing extracts from a paper by that noted physician, Vrofessor J. K. Macotnber, of the Iowa State Agricultural College, are given for tire benefit of our readers, aud in the hop*, that it may prevent many a sad aocident troui kerosene. After siuiaior.iting the various "hydrocarbons," aud describing their qualities and productions, and statiug the requirements of the laws of low.;, as to the inspect" >n of oil, the professor gives the method of testing oils ... f II la lonuwh : Wirh' a btrfc lm i o - awj 'una can?teat n specimen of oil and determine whether it is St for use. A common thermometer, a teacup, saucer and a Utile warm water in elude the apparatus needed. Firs', remove all the objects from the table which are iu> flammable, l'ut some boiling water in the teacup snd gradually pour in cold wa'er, until its temperature is about one buudrc I and forty live degrees. Four a little oil on the warm water and stie well until the oil has the same temperature as the water. Light a match and move it quickly two or three times over the surface of the oil. Do not hold it still a m >;nont. The test is for the purpose of determining the presence of inflammable vapors above the liquid. Finally. plunge the match quickly into the oil. If it does not ignite the oil is all right. If it lights reject it as below standard and dan gcrous. To extinguish the oil when lighted, plaeo the saucer over the teacup. If the oil is suspected to be very bad, pour a little on water at about sixty or seventy degrees. If it contains na htha or gasoline it will ignite the moment the match comes over it, and it will burn furiously. Again, pour a little good kerosene oil on a smooth board and apply a lithted match. It will ignite with great difficulty and probably go out. Now pour a little which contains uaphlha or a little pure naphtha on the hoard, and i apply a lighted match. It will burst into | a great flame instantly, and unless very lit- | tic is us. d the 11 line will ii.se up several loot. All these tests should bemudciu a renin where there is uo lire or light near, as any specimen may prove a dangerous one. Accidents are most likely to occur when gcrous oil. When the lauip cools, air outers and mixes with the vapor, and the next tune it is lighted perhaps the flame will run down beside the wick, and an cxplosoin to suits. In testing an oil, a bluish flame will s onetimes be seen to run over the ourf'aco of the fluid, and then go out at a temperature below where the oil burus. The first temperature is called the "flashing point." In some States the "flashiug point" is used us the basis for testing oils. This is a lower temperature by five or te i decrees than the "burning point." The dangerous properties of the naphtha and gasoliue are inherent iu the nature of the liquids themselves, aud no human device can alter them, and yet there are men who go about pretending tos.dl non-explosive naphthas, lamps and stoves. ''Lumps and "safety fluids" arc only safe when the fluid used is good kerosene, and this is always safe. The victims of these disasters are generally innocent women aud children. By purchasing oils in quantities of Ave gallons at a time and applying the tests as b.scribed iu this, all danger can be avoided. Somktiii.no Nkw Aiiout C.-ttox Skkh .?A ge utlcmau in St. Louis has dis jovetvd a process of taking oil' all the lint on the cotton seiyl, leaving the hull as hare it ; (] uppic soeu. i ins is di immense importance in tiie uiuiiufu.-turc of cUton seed products. The lint saved on u ton of seed, liter being shorn as close rs possible by the >ld process, is very considerul le. The new process is able to take off three dollars worth more of lint. This increases the weight of i bushel of cotton seed froui forty-six pounds o lifty six pounds, with the lent entirely removed. The entire removal of this lent . fleets not only a saving of three dollars worthtif lint to the ton, but the saving of lie hull itself. It is uow usual after the American seed is ground to burn the hull, because the adhering lint renders it useless for food. It is a well known fact that the Knilisb cotton seed cake, made froui the clean Kgyplian seed, is free from lint and thus enables the manufacturer to grind up the hul with the kernel. This renders the cake loss) rich and therefore more desirable as food, just as Graham flour with its brun is far more nutritions than the concentrated white flour. Another advantage iroui perfect cleaning of the cotton seed from lint, is, that it enables the seed to be exported without, heating, thus increasing the value of every pound of cot tou bced.?free Trader.
