j a Bd of Glowing Coal.
Ac observant man, having acci
(loiilall)' blowu out the llame of a
cigar lighter in a restaurant, asked
in a casual manner what made the
flame go out. The cashier answer
ed" wiih a Lugh, because he blew on
it. The man asked v hy blowing on
glowing coals made them burn fast
er instead of putting out the fire.
To answer these questions one
must understand the nature of fire
and be able to distinguish between
incandescence and flame. Good coal
and charcoal burn without flame,
they merely glow. In such combus
tion the burninar solid unites direct
ly with atmospheric oxygen. When
gases burn, on the other hand, the
phenomenon of flame is observable.
Flame is never observed except in
the burning of gases.
How, then, ran it be that a ran
die, which is not a gas. hums with a
name? I he explanation is this:
The wax or tallow is melted bv the
heat, drawn up the wick and, coming
in contact with the flame, is heated
to the point of vaporization. In
this gaseous and overheated condi.
tion, the infinitely small particles
float off and upward from the wick,
whence, coming in contact with the
air, they unite with the oxygen, and
in so doing glow and produce flame.
Similarly, wood, pnpor, soft coal,
sulphur and vegetable substances
burn with a flame Whiko tu;.
own heat of combustion is continu
ously liberating great quantities of
gas.
If a match be held over a lighted
lamp a flame will appear hovering
over it as its gases rise and take fire.
