EXPLOSION OF KEROSENE. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Dargaville, Jan. 3. Early on New Year’s morning two young men named Frank Cossill and Jim Hodges were boiling a motor-cycle chain in kerosene in a local factory when the kerosene caught fire. Hodges lifted the tin to the door and when it got too hot he put it down and Cossill went to throw the tin outside, when the kerosene exploded on his face and shoulder. He was so severely burned that he had to be sent to hospital. His eyes are also injured.
