To Extinguish Prairie Fires.

An inventive genius of North Dakota
has just patented device for making a
fire break to fight prairie fires with. 1t
is sheet iron contrivance five feet wide
and seven feet long and about two feet
high. On top of it are three circular reser-
voirs for holding gasoline. Underneath
is arranged series Of burners designed
to set fire to the grass as the machine
passes over it. The main part of the ap-
paratus is followed by sheet iron trailer
in three sections, each five by seven feet.
While the first two of these are pass
ing over the grass it is supposed to be
well consumed, and the final trailer is
designed to extinguish every particle of
fire. The invention is awakening much
interest among the ranchmen, many of
whom believe the machine will prove
impracticable because it will not securely
confine the fire and it will thereby cause
serious CONGREGATIONS. The inventor
claims it will safely burn strip five
feet wide and twenty-five miles long in
one day. Four horses will be required
to draw the apparatus. New York Tele-
gram.
