Om A Glance at the Window Display 1873==1903 Evolution and Progress Optician. On Thursday morning last, secur- ing the assistance of .‘dessrs. M. Mowers. J. filly and C. Grenver, Mr. E. D. Weber proceeded to remove his acetylene gas plant from the cellar of the building to a more house in the rear. Great care was exercised in the work. A lamp being necessary it was placed away in front as far as possible from the gas machine, which the men soon disconnected and had separated all but one piece-ready for removal, when it caught on some- thing and refused to budge. With a view to getting more light Mr. Gren- yer proceeded to bring up the lamp. He had made but a few .steps to- ward the point where the dismantled machine lay when there was an ex- plosion and the three men standing about it Were severely burned and blinded by the flashâ€"Mr. Weber and Mr. Tilly so badly that they have been confined to their homes ever since. Mr. Mowers lost his mous- tache and eyebrows and had his face severely burned, but was able to con- tinue at work. Mr. Grenyer being farthest away from the explosion, escaped practically unhurt. Fortun- ately no fire resulted from the ex- plosion, and willing helpers soon res- cued the men from the cellar and secured medical attendance. It is a pleasure to know that no permanent injury is likely to result to any of the victims. and they W111 be around in a day or two. Mr. Weber believed every bit of carbide and gas had been . taken out of the machine, as he has 1 had a lot of experience with acety- lene. and fully realized the danger of 3 handling it with a lamp about but the i result shows that he was mistaken. l All topics- at escaping so well.-â€".
