ExtinCuishing Incipient Fires

1t is the opinion of experts that much oil
the money which is spent by factories
mills and stores on the introduction OF
pipes and valves for fire extinction might
be saved by the adoption of much simpler
and more efficient method. Both sulphur
and ammonia are well adapted for ex-
tinguishing fire. Sulphur absorbs oxygen
ana forms sulphuric acid, the fumes of
which are much heavier than air. The
quantity required would be small, since
seventy grammes of sulphur can make 100
cubic metres of air inimical to combustion.
An effective sulphur extinguishing appa-
ratus can be made of large iron box of
moderate depth and open at the top. 1t
should be hinged at one end or the side to
a protected ceiling, and kept close thereto
by cord or wire connected with a wire or
strap formed chiefly of cadmium fusible at
IA dogs. Fahrenheit.
Inside the box is placed considerable
quantity of cotton wadding, well saturat-
ed with powdered sulphur. On the heat
of an incipient fire melting the wire or
strip the box drops short distance; by a
simple device the cotton wadding is ig-
nited at the same moment, and strong
cloud Of sulphurous acid gas is instantly
evolved, which extinguishes the fire by rem
dering the air unfit for combustion New
