SUG6ESTlvE.-l e>teruay aiternoou'
a cabin in Virginia City, occupied by
a poor woman. and situated far up on
the side Of Mount Davidson. caught
fire. There was every Indication that
the building would DC burned TO the
ground. as there was no water In that
part of the city and the fire engines
could not get to the building. Al
Ralston's residence, happened to be
supplied with = couple Of the cele-
brated "Babcock Fire EStinguiShers.'
and n colored boy employed about the
premises sought and obtained permls-
sion to experiment upon the burning
cabin with one of them. Arrived mt the
scene of the fire with his "Extin-
gulsher" sluns over his back, he oegan
the attack and succeeded In putting
out the fire In an Incredibly short space
of time without assistance. This APP
~pareDtly trivial incident furnishes a
lesson which our " people VIII DO
well to profit by. "A an eXtinSuisher
OF incipient conilagrations the BabcocS
fire apparatus Is invaluable. The cost
of the :. Extinguishern Is a mere triile,
and IL behooves our property-holderS
especially, Ia view Of the present scar
city of water. to provide themselves
with one Of these fire annihilators.
