In these experiments, the author examines what magnitude of wire and of apertures in the metallic gauze of his lamp is consistent with security against explosion of mixtures externally. When the gauze is made of wire one fiftieth of an inch in diameter, and at intervals of one tenth, so as to make 100 apertures in the square inch, explosion may take place, either from intense ignition of the top of the lamp, or from lateral currents of air forcing the flame through the interstices.
