Ii6 TROUBLES WITH THE LIME LIGHT [Cn. IV holder and a new one put in place. This should then be gradually warmed (§ 162). SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS IN USING THE LIME LIGHT § 185. Remember that hydrogen and all the substitutes used for it, illuminating gas, ether and gasoline, are very inflammable. Oxygen with hydrogen and also with the other substances forms an explosive compound. Hence, the greatest care must be taken to avoid mixing these gases except in the mixer of the burner (fig. 59). Hence also in filling any part of the apparatus and in working about it there should be no open flames or glowing parts to ignite any accidentally escaping hydrogen, gasoline, ether, etc. Fill the apparatus by daylight, or use an electric light or an electric flash-light if the work must be done in a dark place. In this way no chance for igniting the gases will occur. Naturally one should not smoke when filling the apparatus. It is economical to buy the best apparatus throughout. The makers adapt the burners and all other parts to give the best results in the safest manner, therefore, unless one is an expert in such matters it is safer to take the outfit assembled and recommended by some reliable manufacturer. The makers send out with their apparatus very precise directions for using it with safety, and it is the height of wisdom to follow their directions faithfully.
