'vO '>--■*•..■ - : : ' " ' i Note to my Customers and the Public in the matter of Kerosine dill and its safety or otherwise. I CUSTOMERS 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 pf late been reported in the newspapers, may i be as a rule sufficiently safe to stand tbe test required by' English law, viz ! 100 degrees, but may not reach the New Zealand 'standard of 110, degrees Unfortunately there have been exceptions. , > .'.,'■ Badly trimmed lamps, and dirty burners- are a much greater source of danger than the use of oil ranging in fire |tesfc from 100 to'llo degrees." A simple test, slightly altered from Downer's pamphlet, is here submitted, that consumers may judge for themselves as to the kinds of oil they" lire using. TEIST .. ( ; ; '-; '. •;. 1 Take a cup or tufobler, fill' ij; nearly full of water 1 warmed so thafc a thermometer inserted therein shows & mean temperature of 110 degrees, pour a small quantity of oil on the water, stir a. : little : then pass a lighted match quickly but closelyfover the surface of i the oil once ; if ifc ignites do not use the oil, ifc is Utuajfe\i if ifc ' does not ignite it can ha safely used.
