sparks. A hose was connected with a
hydrant, aud a stream of water was put
on the roof of that building and those
near by, to protect them against danger
from the sparks. The chimney was

checked mainly by the use of salt. At
no time did the chimney get hot to the
touch, and in only one place, in the
upper story of the building, was it even
warm.
