The proaeness of the avernge news

Ineradicable race trait. amount of

proof that such an accident Is an im

gatherers, who go on reporting the ex
plosion of gas meters, doubtless -be
cause the firemen have a tradition that
meters are explosive and give 'Ids ex
olanation of every lire which they can
not otherwise account for.
For l lie reassurance or nervous peo
pie It gives us pleasure to say that no
gas meter ever exploded since the

1 he duni^tlc g US meter has a more
or less, well deserved reputation for
habitual mendacity, though as likely
to lie ugslDst the gas company as for
It: but It Ims never done anything to
warrnut the suspicion that It is liable

which enters through the service pipe
connecting the main wltu the house,
usually or half an Inch ■iinmeter. It
has very little capacity for gas siorage,
ami 's not strong enough to carry gas
under a greater compression than. say.
half a pound per square Inch. More
than this would bulge Its sides. In
point of fact the pressure of gas in
meters Is rarely more that! enough to
balance a column of water two or three
Inches high. '
If a gas meter Is exposed to givat
heal from “sternal fire, nothing very-
serious llnpqens. The sold red seams
Will- probably melt, allowlig ’ lie gas
to escape. This gas Is not explosive.
However. It becomes so Inly When
tblxed with air In certain dHlnite pro
portions.
Should this admixture exist Id n
nieter. which 1? almost Impossible, Its
shell Is opt strong enough to offer any
gh-itt resistance, and should an ex
plosion occur by reason of flre reach
ing this admixture of gns aid air the
meter would he wrecked, hut It Is
louhtful of any other damage would
result. None has been wrecked from
this cause.
If the scants of tlip meter are opened
by the melting of the solder or by frac-
tilre from accident, the gas within It
Would escape, uni. if It had the chance,

opportunity to form the explosive mix

coats which are among the collection*!
of the Boston Art museum, die was
worn by a member of the class of 1749
and the other by his son In 17N4,
The latter waistcoat Is olive green In
color, conforming to the college regula
tions, which required either blue gray,

were blue gray. Freshmen of that date
were allowed only plain buttonholes,
sophomores leaped to the dignity or
having buttons on their cuffs. Juniors
might have Inexpensive frogs to their
buttonholes except that they might not
have them on their cuff buttonholes,
and the senior enjoyed frogs, button-
ho us and buttons complete. Seniors
and juniors were permitted also to
wear black Oxford gowns, such as are
worn at graduation today, aud a “night
gown,” or dressing gown, was per
missible on certain unimportant occa
sions. It cost .“not more tliau 10 shil
lings” for every appearance of gold or
silver adornment.
. 1 be rules ot costume were changed,
of course, from time to time. In 1828,
lor example, the prescribed dress con
sisted ot n black mixed coat, single-
breasted, “with n rolling cape square,
ht the end and with pocket flaps, the-
waist reaching to the natural waist
with lapels of the same length.” tit Is-
explnined that "black mixed!” colled,
also Oxford mixed, was Ul&vk. with, doti

senior was allowed to support his dig-,
ntty with three -crow’s feet” of black
silk cord on the lower part of Ills coat ;
sleeve. Two crow’s feet were permitted
r o the junior, one to the sophomore and
none at all to the freshman. The waist-’
coat was of. hlnek'.-mlxed or of black or,
when of cotton or linen fabric, of white:
single breasted, with a standing collar.
The pantaloons were of.black mixed.
