A SUCCESSFUL TEST. - On Wednesday
evening of last week Mr.. W, s. Crosby
of Baltimore city gave an exhibition of a fire
extinguisher on our streets. The prepare
tons for the test consisted Of a large dry
goods box from which one side and the top
had been removed, another side having been
built up about eight feet. This was pretty
well painted over with tar and in the box
was a pile of wood saturated with kerosene,
Fire was applied and when the entire box
was cnveloped in flame heavy bottle con
tanning liquid was thrown by Mr.. Crosby
against the box. Owing to the light and I'M
stable character of the box the first bottle
was not broken until it struck the ground
when the contents were not available in the
form to extinguish the fame; the fire was
dcadencd however to such an extent that it
required a great deal of coaxing with coal
oil to get it to burn up brightly. A second
trial gave the most satisfactory result as the
fire was suddenly and completely blackencd
Mr.. Crosby says that one bottle judiciously
broken will outcn twenty-five feet square OF
flames. 1t is the idea that these bottles shall
be hung around through the house SO that
they will be at hand in case Of the sudden
breaking out Of fire. We believe the gren-
ade, as they are called, really good thing
and to certain extent safeguard against
fire We have done business with Mr.. Cros-
by in the past and have always found him to
be reliable gentleman.
The extinguisher is known as the Harden
Fire Grenade.
