A despatch from Ottawa says: Sparling Beach, the tenâ€"yearâ€"old son of Mr. Beach of 275 McLeod street, had an eye burned out and thc'other injured, and his four- yearâ€"old sister, Annie Beach, had her eyes also burned in an explo- sion of lime. The boy and his sisâ€" ter were playing in the yard with a. tomato can filled with lime, and wishing to see it boil, poured water into the can. Both children were leaning over it at the time, when it exploded in their faces, with the results stated. It is probable that the boy will eventually lose his sight, while the girl will probably recover the use of both her eyes. v ’1‘. ll. C. RANCHES FIRESWEPT.
