Fred knobel Inyents Fire Extinguisher.
The Madison Democrat speaks APP
provingly of a new chemical fire extin-
guisher which has been brought out by
Fred Knobel, formerly of this place, as
follows:
Fred FL. Knobel, junior in the gen
eral science course at the University, has
discovered chemical fire extinguisher
which bids fair to eclipse anything here
tofore offered in the line. Mr.. Knobel is
specializing in chemistry and has been
doing some work on this formula all
winter. A test was made Friday even
ing in the rear of the chemical labora-
tory and it far exceeded the expectations
of the witnesses in its effectiveness. A
deep box seven feet square was filled |
with pieces of dry pine which had been
saturated with oil and then covered with |
tar. The mass was set on fire and when |
the flames were at their highest Mr. |
knobel threw his extinguisher on the !
bonfire and it put it out as by magic, to
the great surprise of the assistant chem |
lists and students who were present. !
The Fire King, as Mr.. Knobel designates
his discovery, is handled in the form of |
a dry powder, whose composition is
known only to him. He has been exper-
imenting with it this semester since his
return from Europe early in the spring.
The composition of the extinguisher,
which is in the form of powder, is known
to Knobel alone and it will be put upon |
the market by the National Chemical |
of which Knobel and F. f. |
Burgy of Edgerton are the principal
The extinguisher will be
at Edgerton.
