SAFE ILLUMINATIONS.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir,—ln your Saturday evening’s edition I notice that Mr W. Higginson is anxious to know how to illuminate his house without setting fire to it. If he wishes to make a display by burning candles in his windows—which, by the way, is one very fine form of illumination and not expensive—let him get a lot of tin window candleholders made with a slip of tin to go between the sashes, remove his window curtains, and fix his blinds so that they will keep up. He will then have, uo fear of fire .from this kind of illumination. If be wants to add to his display, let him purchase a few tins of various colored fires, and burn these outside on a piece of old iron, or in tin plates placed on two or more bricks. These would give him all the illuminations he wants without risk to himself or house.—. X am, etc., Let There Be Light. Duuedin, June 12.
