safety valve t and as aa this ls 19 one of the most vital subjects s that can engage the attention of the he community at the present time allow us the privilege to vindicate ourselves inasmuch as this correspondent has fired the tae first s shot h 0 t the people do not want to be misled isled aa as to the explosiveness of the various artificial lip lights lats lits by a party who shoots from under a lagand log and is trying to introduce his gasoline by making assertions he cannot prove in regard to mhd genuine danforth eluid fluid had it nol not been our duty to the p people ople opie and especially to those who believed our assertions that the danforth fluid is non explosive we would not answer ansbe r the article written by safety valve it haa baa been said that kerosene oil was the only light for the people but now D Darif ari arl ison non explosive fluid is introducing tro ducin itself rapidly throughout the whole country and an entire revolution in light is under way the benefit of ot this valuable invention is at once acknowledged as being the best cheapest safest and purest light now known there never has haa been an explosion 0 of f the danforth fluid although it has hag been in use over four years for an explosion is entirely out of the question the reward offered for a legitimate explosion has induced many of the fi first t professors of chemistry to undertake jt it but their labors have proved fruit fruitless fruitier legs lets as will be seen by two of the many proofs now in our possession from froal chemists board of Underwrite underwriters rl and insurance companies and can ba seen by any person on application professor hadley of buffalo medical college a distinguished chemist has had a long experience with the products of petroleum and has put this fluid to a variety of severe tests to ascertain its liability of explosion and with the following results viz gil ghi 1 I am of the opinion contrary to my previous impressions that it is exceedingly improbable if not altogether impossible that at any accident in the ordinary use of it could arise from the explosion af its vapors in a can or lamp 1 mr J ii craw Oraw cour professor of chemistry in the new orleans school of medicine baye saye 1 I have examined with the utmost care and subjected to the most severe tests testa the dantorth Dan fortu tortu fluid and find it perfectly v n on more easily extinguished when purposely ignited and in a my opinion the safest sanest of all fluids produced from crude petroleum which ibave examined it I 1 is s a chemical fact that an explosion cannot take place without the requisite C quantity of oxygen sow slow what are E the conditions in which an explosion can take place for instance it d a lamp is filled nearly full of coal oil gli under eighty degrees and the burner i Is screwed on there will be oni only oil and 0 oxygen axy in the lamp if the lamp be lighted it its heat will wilf willston soon rise nise to 80 degrees when the gas begins to rise thia thib will expel a part of the oxygen and when this is about 81 parts gas and 19 parts oxygen and this proportion is ig always attained your lamp is in a condition to explode professor chandler of new york says there ture is no kerosene kerosen eoll oil oli sold in new york that will stand the government test which is degrees most of bf it not over 80 or 90 the petroleum fluid Is fluid it burns freely makes a very clear brilliant light but is not made in the ordinary way of other fluids for there are many by putting chemicals into crude gasoline Qa soline benzine or naphtha but bya by byn a process of distillation agitation and filtering so it contains neither grease greaso ar sediment and is as pura pure and clean as the most transparent water and isa W absolutely non explosive now in conclusion I 1 will say esy if safety valve thinks it an absurdity to talk of non explosive fluids let him prove it to the tho contrary and anavie we will give one hundred dollars for a legitimate explosion if it can be done be he will make anak money quicker than he can out of hi his gasoline ie lamps or stoves lj reese neese CO A ant for rf ny xon non

crowded and being well warmed it was perfectly comfortable v the lecturer opened with a few preliminary remarks stating that the lectures ec were designed especially for the instruction and benefit of the students orthe deseret university but it had been beigh deemed abt aft advisable bable habie to invite the people at large to attend them as well he fie then defined astronomy as the science which explained the size motion distances ae lle lye fec of the heavenly ladles he referred briefly to the erroneous eroneous notions entertained by ptolemy aristotle and the ancients who regarded the earth as the centre of the solar iolar system and briefly adverted to the incongruities to which this notion gave tise rise this system wih all its errors was vas as regarded as true until the begin ming of the sixteenth century when the discoveries of copernicus burst upon the world he rejected the old theory of the earth belog being the centre cantre of the solar system and asserted that the sun gun was the centre of our a system em and the earth merely one of the many any auy planets revolving around it the law of planetary motion discovered kepler about a century later was referred to but it is to the immortal newton who discovered the great law of gravitation that the world is indebted for the pies pres eitt wonderful development of the principles of astronomical bele sele science nee noo principles which can never nuver be overturned t and d the present course of lectures will be b devoted to an position ax of the principles ortho newtonian ant aft system of astronomy tr onomy the earth being a member bembe r of that planetary system of which the sun is bhe the centre and the ona one with which we are most closely and intimately associated and connected and in which we feer feel the moat most deeply int interested naturally received the first attention of the lecturer le aurer and the lecture of professor Pio plo fessor aratt last evening was devoted eh chiefly lefly to describing its form lorm dimensions and diurnal motion and in giving alving simple ibeth methods founded on the laws 0 mech mechanics anies aules for demonstrating the same the great pendulum experiment to demonstrate the diurnal revola revolution ion lon of the earth onita ails was referred to but time did not nob permit it fi fo b be 6 explained x last night it will be elucidated on friday evening the lecturer throughout was lia ila listened bened tio to with ithe most 1 profound attention the vast audience seeming delighted with the lucid and simple manner in which the subject was handled by the lecturer in the ee second aad lecture varlo vadious various tike simple problems connected with the motions of the earth and their effects will ivill we believe be explained by means meana of diagrams on the blackboard and during aring ane course it is the Intent intention ioD ion of professor pratt thus to illustrate and elucidate many of the more advanced and intricate problems of astronomy to gain a knowledge of the science of astronomy requires years of patient labor and an intimate knowledge of other sciences but we believe that all who attend this course and pay careful attention will be able to acquire such an insight into its principles that will enable them to comprehend with ease many mandof of the phenomena of nature which to them are now involved in mystery and the time thus devoted will become a source of real and lasting pleasure we hope to see the who whole lecourse course as well attended ayour by our citizens generally aud and especially by its younger members as that last night foran for oon an op opportunity p ort unity of so easily acquiring usef useful at and delight delightful ful fal Inform information anon adon may not present
