Some observations made in France by M. Cosson may throw light upon many mysterious fires. In one instance spontaneous firing, arose from su sirenerent heated at 77 deg. F. only. The wood slowly carbonized at that temparature, and, being thus rendered extremely porous, a rapid absorption of oxygen rosuited, and sufficient Lent was then produced to infame the dry Laaterial. In another case the warmth from the air-hole of store was sufficient to set Ars to the wood work:
The assumed fact that plumbers escape disease and infection from the inhalation of sower gas is often referred to as indicating the harmletos of this air or gus.

Whilst viewing the mored odides they came to where theorgan tuners had been at work before they left for dinner, "Ses here," said the arohdengon, what a great size there 12-feat wooden pipes ro." The ladies looked and wondered. They are so large," said the venerable and reverend, tint I muld climb up any one of them."

The idea of the "corpse" reviving after barist, prolonging existence for fourteen days by sating the flesh off its own hands, and then dying just as the lid was opened tale as anything Edgar Allan Poo over
