Note to my Customers and the Public in the matter of Kerosine Oil and its safety or otherwise. jM FSTOMEKS who use the higher priced oils, which I have always recom\J mended in preference to the ordinary qualities, may rely on their being perfectly safe, as they are pronounced by authorities here and elsewhere to be far above the legal standard of inflammability. The ordinary qualities of Oil imported into New Zealand, in reference to the testing ot which so much has of late been reported in the newspapers, may be as a rule sufficiently safe to Btand the test required by English law, viz 100 degrees, but may not reach the New Zealand standard of 110 degree '- Unfortunately there have been exeeptipns. • ! .... Badly trimmed lamps, and dirty burners, are a much greater source .of danger than the use of oil ranging in fire test from 100 to 110 degrees. A simple test, slightly altered from j)owner's. pamphlet, is, here submitted, t h consumers may judge for themselves as to the kinds of oil they are usin 'a 1 :!.: g TEST Take a cup or tumbler, fill! it nearly full of water warmed so that a thermometer inserted] therein shows a mean temperature of 110 degrees, pour a small 'quantity of oil on- the water, stir a little, then pass a lighted match quickly but closelyjover the surface of < the oil once ; if it ignites do not use the i oil, it is unsafe ; if it does not ignite it can be safely used. . w ;/ . ; ■ | ■ ■ •'■' ■■■■-<•■*,.
