TURKE LITTI.lt BOYS LITERALLY ROASTED ALIVE. From San Fran. Chronicle. frightful accident occurred on Monday after noon in a lot on the northeast corner of Sixth and Brannan streets, by which three little boys, belonging to different families, were burned iu a snocking and probably fatal manner. The accident occurred while certain experiments were being made with the flame. In order to convey a proper idea of ihe manner iu which the terrible affair occurred, a somewhat lengiby explanation is necessary. Some time ago C. II. Swain conceived the idea of applying the flame to lighthouse and ther illuminating purposes. This flame is produced by the mingling of jets of superheated steam and petroleum, or other highly inflammable gases. For tbe purpose of makiug experiments, Mr. Swain recently rented the building on Sixth street adjoining the lot where the accident oc curred. He put a small boiler in the building and a tank containing about a gallon of naptba or crude petroleum. An ordinary gas pipe, one inch in diameter, was atiachcd to the boiler and thence was run through the wall to the outside of tho building and about farly feet out in the lot. r rom the bunding to its oth er extremity this pipe wa3 covered with a few inches of sand. Inside of the inch pipe was a smaller one, less than a quar ter of an inch in diameter. Through this the napiha gas was carried, while the larger pipe conveyed the superheated steam, ficar the aperture at the ex tremity both jets mingled and combus tion ensued, producing a flame whose in tense heat and dazzling brilliancy can scarcely be conceived by any one who has never witnessed such experiments. On Monday afternoou, about 5 o'clock, Mr. Swain was engaged in some experi ments with his apparatus. A perpendicular point, about twelve inches long, had been attaohed to the end of tbe pipe, so that the flame might be shot directly up A n oxy-hydrog- ward- - A large number of children, at- tracted by curiosity, had gathered about, and, and although cautioned repeatedly to go away, or, at least, not to come too close, it seems the warning was not heed ed. Still, as the direction of the flame was straight upward, no danger was ap prehended by Mr. Swain. Everything being at last arranged the jets of steam and gas were turned on, and the fierce flame shot upward. Suddenly there was a remarkable diminution boih in the volume and brilliancy of the flame. Mr. Swain surmised that there was some obstruction in iho vent of the smaller pipe, and fearful that the pipe might burst, as the gas was constantly generating, he attempted with a wrench to take off the perpendicular seation of pipe. In doing this the horizontal section was raised so that the end rested above the surface of the ground. The children crowded closer to see what was going on. Swain and Adlington, his assistant, were both too busy or too much excited to think of anything but clearing the pipe. Suddenly the disconnection was made and instantaneously came a loud report, and a sheet of blinding flame shot forth with the resistless fury of a thunderbolt, right in among the group of children. The effect was appalling. Three of the little boys were literally roasted alive by their advertisement in the Junction. the awful flame.

The fathers of lle injured children all expressed their intention of suing tot damages. All the parties suffering fron the accident are in poor circumstaacei and can ill afford to evin pny for ti medicines necessary in tbe treatment of the sufferers. Mr. Swain, however, hu expressed his reodiness to pay all expenses for medical attendance. Sce opin-ic-- ft R. SWAIN'S STATEMENT OB TH8 AFFA1&. After ascertaining the result of the accident, a Chronicle reperter otight out Mr. Swain, who was superintending the experiment at (be time the explosion occurred. Mr. Swain conversed freely on tbe subject, statin? bow tbe accident occurred. He expressed the utmost sorrow for the injuries suffered by the children, but insisted that he was not to blame. While ths experHe said: iments were in progress yesterday afternoon a large number of children wsr attracted to the lot by curiosity to Kt what was going on. I warned theoi times to leave the place, but they did not obey me, and I finally drove then awny forcibly. They soon returned, however, and gathered around us closer than before. For about an hour the experiment worked successfully, but after that the small pipe became clogged by tho scales on the insiie of it being loosened by the heat. In consequence of this the flame could no longer pai" through the pipe, and it became necessary to clear it out. Before attempting to do this I again ordered tne children away, but they would not go. I turned the nut or valve on to the pipe but half the distance necessary to release it,wben explosion occurred.
