The end of this verse may be repro-

what we call mental association, the
gronping of weraories, must have
thrilled Peter's 'soul at this moment.

strong reasons to read, "my little

used by l'eter, with a difference that

words in English. 31 represents a

SOME CAUSES OF FIRE.

It seem8. almost a wonder that the
world is not burned up, when one rea-
lizes 'tenon strange circumstances
may (muse a disastrous fire. In one
ease the peaceful crawling of an in-
sect set a building on fire. Some
cotton waste lead been used with min-
eral oil, and then thrown away.
An unlucky insect crawled through
that oil -saturated waste, and came
out again with some of the oily fiber
adhering to its body. Then It per-
ambulated round the building, com-
ing at last to the gas -jet to 10061 118
fate. The cotton fibers, still ad-
hering to its body, caught fire'and
the unfortunate insect dropped blaz-
ing to lb o floor, setting the plo.oe on
fire.
Colton waste wits also partly re-
sponsible for another ounious fire.
This time en electric spark did the
mischief, passing from a belt to
some conduaLing substance near it
exal communicating with the cotton. ,
The Railway and Engineering Re-
view, gives two instances of fire
0031,404 by water. In the first case
a flood caused the water to rise in-
side a faotory until it reached a
Pile of Iron filings. When they
eame in contact with the water, they
oxidized so rapidly that they became
intensely hot, and an last set fire to
woodwork near them, and the build-
ing Was destroyed,
In the other ease tate water, from
the engines during a fire found its
way hato a shed containing quiok-
lime. Tim heat caused by the slack: -
lag of the limo set fire to the shed,
and this to other buildings.
Class globes, which act as lenses,
often cause fire, aud it has reeently
bee a said that the tionvex glasses
used in pavement lights are danger-
ous, and should be abandoned in fav-
