Note to my Customers and the Public in the matter of Kerosine Oil and its safety or otherwise. ! ■ 1 * ' . «-^mii -i -flan _ /^TJSTOMEES who use. the higher priced oils, which I have always recomV 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 oi which so much has of late been reported in the newspapers, may be as a rule sufficiently safe to stand Ibe test required by English law via 100 degrees, but may not reach the New Zealand standard of 110 degrees Unfortunately there have been exceptions. Badly trimmed lamps, and dirty burner, are a much greater source of danger than the use of oil ranging in f|re test from 100 to 110 degrees. A simple test, slightly altered from! Downer's pamphlet, is hero submitted, that consumers may judge for themselves as to the kinds of oil they are using. TEST Take a cup or tumbler, fill it nearly full of water warmed so that a thermometer inserted therein shows a mean temperature of 3 10 degrees, pour a small! quantity of oil on the water, stir a little then pass a lighted match quickly but closely.Wr the surface of the oil once ;if it ignites do not use the oil, it is unsafe ; if it does not ignite it caa be safely used. } Yours [respectfully, Bridgo4trot^elßop, June, 1878. j * "^AiJVd.
