TAKING NOTICE

The attention of insurance
agents and assured is being called
to the impartonce of carbonlc
acid gas hand extinguishers in
preventing fires. These extin-
I guishers are now being used en-
tensively and, when of reliable
make, are extremely valuable in
overcoming incipient fires. Their
chief advantage lies in the possi-
; bility of a small, easily portable
stream of water under heavy
pressure, which can be readily
directed to rather inaccessible
positions. The carbonic acid gas.
formed by the chemical action of
the sulphuric acid upon the car
Donate of soda with which these
extinguishers are charged, serves
chiefly as a propelling agent and
is not generally available for
smothering fires, except in very
confined spaces. The stream of
water, however, becomes charged
with sulphate of soda which as
sists considerably in the fire eX-
tinguishment. Another impor-
tant advantage is the small water
damage occasioned by the use of
these appliances. There are at
the present time a great number
of different makes of chemical
fire extinguishers upon the mar
ket, which, though differing but
slightly as to external appear
ances, vary to an alarming extent
as to their safety and reliability.
As pressure of approximately
125 pounds is generated in the
machine at normal temperatures
and over 800 pounds if the dis
charge should by any cause be-
come stopped, it is imperative
that only the very best of con-
struction be employed, otherwise
a serious explosion may occur
causing damage to both life and
property. The National Board
specifies standards for such eX-
tinguishers. Rough Notes.
Moral: Buy a good fire extin-
guisher of Sanborn & Houston.
