IN CASE OF FIRE.
How to Prepare Hand Grenades at
Home for Quick Use.
From the Philadelphia Press.


The proverbial ounce of prevention
is worth several pounds of cure in case
of fire.
When a fire occurs, by splashing and
spraying burning articles with a solu-
ton of salt and nitrate of ammonia
an incombustible coating is at once
formed.
This is a preparation which should
be kept on hand, and is easily home
made at trifing cost. Dissolve twenty
pounds of common salt and ten pounds
of nitrate of ammonia in seven gall
Ions of water. Pour this into quart
bottles of thin glass and then you have
fire grenades at hand in case of need.
The bottles should be tightly corked
and sealed to prevent evaporation, and
when there is a fire they must be
thrown in or near the flames, so as to
break and thus liberate the gas con-
tanned, to effect the desire result. At
least two dozen Of these bottles should
be ready in case of need.
1t is well to remember that water
poured on burning oil is only fuel
to the flame; scatter flour over the
oil and the blaze will be speedily ex-
tinguished.
Salt thrown upon a fire-for instance,
If the chimney is burning-will help
to deaden the blaze. If chimney flues
were lined with Vitrified pipe drains,
which are quite inexpensive, the Chin
ney would be absolutely fire-proof. An
outward covering Of some fire-proof,
rust-proof, non-conducting jacket on
the hot air pipes would be not only
a very good precautionary measure,
but would save heat now radiated from
the tin.
A silk handkerchief dipped in water
is the best thing to wrap about the
mouth and nostrils to prevent suffo-
cation from smoke; falling this. piece
of wet flannel or cloth will answer the
purpose.
Should the smoke fill the room be-
fore you can get TO the window, wrap
a blanket or woolen garment about
you, with the wet cloth over the face,
drop on the hands and knees and
crawl to the window. Smoke goes
first to the top of the room and to
the floor last, so that some time is
thus secured.
1t is we'll to remember that there
is no more danger in getting out of a
high window than out of one on a first
floor, If there is nerve and cool deter
mination to hold on to the rope or
ladder. Don't try to slide down, but
go hand over hand, keep the body
near the wall, and break the slide by
scraping the feet along the wall.

PLAYED GREAT BALL.
Wilkes-Barre Shut Out by Scranton
in a Hard Fought Game-It
Was Full of Features.

There were 400 spectators at Athletic
park yesterday afternoon to welcome
the Scranton players home and to see
them shut out the Barons in a we'll
played game by score of too.
Risley pitched great ball, and the
Barons were unable to catch sight of
the home plate. Goodwin pitched good
ball, and battled with Risley good and
hard, but was unable to best him.
Burns covered second base for Wilkes
Barre, as Atherton left yesterday to
join Washington at Pittsburg today.
Burns played an excellent game, and
did credit to himself and to Uncle
Daniels team.
Scranton started the matinee with
Knoll to bat. He made single, stole
second, reached third on Dillon's punt,
and came in on Eagans single. Lip
pert, Dillon and Doherty were thrown
out at first.
Wilkes-Barre's men died in one, two,
three order. In the third, Knoll again
made a single, stole second, and scored
on Dillon's two-base hit. Lippert
singled, reached third on Dillon, and
scored on Eagan's fly to right field. In
the fifth, Knoll reached first on bad
muff by Burns, but in attempting to
steal second was thrown out by Smith.
During the remainder of the game
Scranton was only successful in reach &.
ing second. In the eighth, Dillon was
thrown out at second by Smith. but
McDermotts decision was quite doubt
full on this point.
Wilkes-Barre was at no time danger
Gus, except in the ninth, and as the
ninth is always Scranton's hoodoo, the
fans were all on the anxious bench.
Richter came to bat and singled. fol-
lowed by Goeckel, who drove fly to
Pete Eagan.
Odwell came next. and reached first
on an error Of McMahon's. Burns was
next in order, and he, too, placed one
in Pete's hands, making two gone.
Coughlin followed and was given his
base on balls, the first and only one
for Risey. Odwell went to second.
Things We're getting rather shady, but
Smith lined a hot grounder to O'Con-
nell, who threw Odwell out at second,
retiring the side and bringing sigh
of relief from every rooter. The score:

Bobby Dobbs Defeated Jerry Driscoll

jack Skelly received cablegram
late last evening from London stating
that Bobby Dobbs had just defeated
Jerry Driscoll. The fact that Driscoll
was twenty pounds heavier and that
he is classed as a middle weight, while
Dobbs is welter weight, renders the
victory more notable. The fight lasted
only fourteen rounds.
