.........scossfRuCr9oNo OF CHIMNEYs.
extracts +:

We believe that very large proportion, OF
| the chimneys hitherto constructed this vicin-
| ity are unsafe and positively dangerous. 1t is
! found that sparks frequently find their way
throdSh small apertures ID the chinlneyswhere
the clustering may have fallen off, or been de-
fective.- Every chimney .sheald be Plastered on
the inside, The additional expense is triaing,
and the security viii farmoret than compensate
the extra cost. A defect in the chimney in
this respect IS far more dangerous, inasmuch as
it is more difficult of detection. 3
Another precaution that ought always to be
observed in the construction of chimneys is,
that they should always come below the cham
Der floor. The additional expense of this, too,
is but trifliDg, and is consideration Of the
first Importance. This, in connection with
plastering the chimney on the inside would rem
der it sufficiently secure and would make diff.
ference of at least quarter per cent. in the
insurance, an item sufficient in the course OF
two or three years to pay the additional cost.
| STOVE PIPES.
These are very frequent cause Of fire, and
that, too, when many would think them per
fectly safe. The most frequent source of diff
Guilty with pipes is, from their being placed in
too near contiguity to the woodwork, and be-
coming disjointed so as to allow the escape OF
sparks. This danger is imminent when the
pipe, las is often the ,case,) passes through the
floor in one story building, and enters the
chimney built a short distance below the roof
In such cases, the chamber being too low for
use, when any defect in the pipe or chimney
occurs, it is not seen, and the fire communicat
ing with the wOOd-wOrk, would make such head
way before discovery, as to render it impossi
BILE to extinguish it. This method of building
is highly dangerous and ought never to be
adopted. In regard to the proximity OF the
pipe to the wood, it should never be allowed
to approach within one foot, without some non
inflammiable substance, as tin, zinc, or sheet
iron, intervening. Wood has been known to
take fire at even o greater distance than this
and where stove has been placed from twelve
to eighteen inches from plastered wall, re-
peated instances have occurred (and some in
st. Anthony where the lath and studding have
been completely charred, and even taken fire
beneath the p!astering. Zinc or sheet iron
should always in such cases be placed between
the stove or pipe and the wood, as we'll as un
derneath the stoves-the heat, when the ashes
are taken up being sufficient to set on fire the
floor. "i
..i.,..t.- .s.Jlsr ASHES. sfR-.f/ <tl.
These are very frequent source of fire. =
4 They should, under no circumstances, be left
in wooden vessel in or about building, MOI
even if first taken up in a metallic vessel, as
through the carelessness of servants or agents
some Goals will sometimes find their way II
contact with the wood, which will be almost
certain to take fire. The only safe rule is tt
remove them entirely from the building.
