Fighting Fire with Improved Apparatus.


The danger Of losses from fire is rapidly
growing less, as the public begin to appreciate
the advantage of having buildings provided
with improved apparatus for checking con-
fagrations. Much thought aud labor have been
expended in dcvising a perfect FIRE apparatus,
and the result has been the production of the
Hydro-Pneumatic Fire Extinguishcr, which
has been approved by the National board of
fire underwriters the supervising steam.
boat inspectors, chiefs Of fire departments, and
numerous other authorities. This cxtinguisher
is free from the use of dangerous or injurious
chemicals and can be used by any woman or
boy. 1t is destined to supercede all chemical
extinguishcrs. The apparatus Is very simple
in construction, and its great recommendation
is that it requires no expert to charge 1t, rs
the only charge necessary is water or the
