HjL Taylor of this city relates aa experi ence which furnishes some light on sponta neous combustion. He says: "I put about forty tons of clover hay the bay pit of one of my farms near Crescent City last June. I anew that It waa beating, because I could smell it.

but I supposed It waa merely going through the eweat. Finally 1 concluded that It would be prudent to put the men at work, and soon discovered an alarming state ef affairs. As we got down Into the ce nter of th mow smoke began to arise. and the hay became so hot that I could aot hold my hand In It for any length of time. Out of the center we took about tea ton that were charred black absolutely carbon bredand you could smell It forty rods.

This experience convinced me that hay under proper conditions Is subject to spontaneous combustion. The only reason why that hay did not burn la because no air could gel to It. Had there been a vent made In it would have broken out into flame, and the barn would have gone. Probably we would have attributed the fire to tramp. say that clover should be ect and put away when a trine mine was too green, and so generated too much heat, but think that In tho future I shall give mine a little more tlmo before I stack it-" Kankakee (111.)
