... * _.. „. . ; ■ .', : •,-..:/ *T ] Hote to my Customers, and the Public in the matter of Kerosine Oil -; and its isaifety or otherwise. - ' |. CUSTOMEBS who use the Higher priced oils, which I have always recom--mended in preference to the ordinary qualities, may, rely on %ir being perfectly safe, aa they are pronounced by authorities here and elsewhere to be far above the legal standard of inflammability^ ' ' ' ! The ordinary qualities iot Oil impbrted into Kew 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 stand tbe test required by Ecglish law,' viz 100 degrees, bufc may nofc.reaich the New Zealand standard :bf 110 degree* Unfortunately there hay© been exceptions. '■" . -X'-l' Badly trimmed lamps, and Tdirtyjburners, are a much greater source of danger than the use of oil rangjng in, fire test from i-00 to IXO degrees^ A simple test, slightly altered from Downer's pamphlet, is here submitted, that consumers may judge for themselves as to thb kinds of ojl they are using. ■;"'.: test ';;;,■•; : ;.; Take a cup or tumbler, kii ifc nearly full of water wartiied so that a thermometer inserted therein shows a mean temoerature of 110 degrees, pour a small quantity of oil on the 'water,' stir a little then pass a lighted? match quickly but closely Jover. the.' surface of the oil once ; if ifc jignites do not use the oil, it i^. unsafe ; if ifc does nofc ignite it c^n be safely use 4. 1M!
