_Ms Worse Than
A despatch from Winnipeg says:
41That oil, poured on a living fire,
.tvould be more dangerous than d
aerate or nitro-glycerine used si-
milarly."
Such was, the startling statement
=of Professor Parker of Manitoba
University, on•Thurs dt11--itr, on the
„completion of tests of samples of
l obtained from the same source
as that which resulted in fifteen
:deaths within a fortnight in the
'Province.
"This oil," said Prefesaor Park
r, "is extraordinary in" some re-
' .spects. I do not think that it was
been- suggested. 1 tried it for ape-
cific gravity, for 'flash point, and
I distilled it fractionally. I believe
that it contained a heavy percent-
age of naphtha, of low grade per-
haps. Gasoline would distill off be-
low 90 degrees, or even 70 degrees,
and only 2 or 3 per cent. of this oil
distilled oft below 90 de.greter7 The
portion of 47 per cent. distilled at
between CO and 1E0 degrees.- There-
fore I think it contained, not gaso-
line, but naphtha. The flash point
was below what my mach:no will
register. Investigation shoves that
the company charged with whole-
saleing this oil has been importing
adulterated with gasoline, as has, naphtha largely."
