A spark is q small piece Of white
hot carbon a glowing bit Of charcoal
which escapes from any substance
that II burning. It escapes because
the force Of the downward draft,
made by hot air Is strong enough
to carry light bodies up with it. The
length Of time it stays hot enough
to set anything afire depends upon
its size. The smaller it is the soon
or 1t cools.
The number Of sparks from burn
ing sticks Of different kinds OF wood
varies greatly. Hickory gives off
the greatest number and buckeye
the least. There il more danger
from sparks in shavings than sticks.
because the draft Of a flue is 80
likely to carry pieces Of shavings
up where they may drop on the
roof before they. are entirely burn
ed. Soft coal makes fewer sparks
than wood and anthracite makes al
most none.
A Great Loss of Money.
More than one-third of loss Of
wealth by fire is from flying sparks.
Many buildings are ignited by them.
Hundreds of buildings are fired by
sparks which go out through chin
ney tops, cracks in chimneys and open
joints in stovepipes. The greatest
number are from sparks drawn up
thru chimney tops falling on single
roofs.
A fortune will come to boy who
invents a screen or other thing
which will stop sparks from flying
out of the chimney tops without
spelling the draft of the flue.
It is good practice to paint shin
gle roofs. Paint not only makes the
roof less likely to rot, but prevents
forming of fuzz on them. This fuzz.
being very fine kindling. is easily
lighted by a spark. The fuzz,which
forms on beams and boards in
factories. stables. outhouses and fen
ces is likely to take fire from fly
ing sparks. The danger can be re-
by giving them a coat OF
Whitewash holds down
the fuzz under a layer of slaked
lime. which will not burn easily. and
In putting in the whitewash, cob
webs. which often catch sparks, are
brushed away.
Burning Birds Nests.
A number of fires have occurred
from sparks lighting in birds nests
In the caves of houses and in open
lngs made to let air into storehouses
and mills. In Cleveland sparks
caught in a birds nest 200 feet up
In a church tower. Birds nests are
made from the finest kindling wood
one can find and the English spar
rows now build nests in nearly ev-
cry opening in or near the tops Of
city buildings. This makes it
best to cover all such openings with
screens of woven wire. Not long ago
q large mill and elevator was seen
to take fire from spark falling in
q sparrow's nest. It burned to the
ground.

4, Burning Rubbish.
SPARKS start few fires in rubbish,
leaves and dead grass and many
buildings are destroyed by sparks
from burning piles of rubbish. to
get rid Of them, at the time of
spring house cleaning.
A spark may be hot enough to ex-
plode gasolene vapor and acetylene
gas. Any spark will ignite thin pa
per. rags, cotton, grease, tar or lace
curtains. More fires are started in
rubbish heaps by sparks than by
spontaneous combustion or careless
ness with matches or cigar stubs.
About 40 fires a year are started
in one state alone by sparks from
factory and traction engines and hal
as many cupolas.
Dangers from Locomotives.
Locomotive sparks fire a number
Of buildings year in this state,
many Of them being in cities where
there is great danger of a conflagra-
ton. The fire losses that railway
companies are forced to pay on &C.
count of sparks are very large. The
inventor who produces durable
spark arrester for locomotives will be
made rich.
The smoke-box, into which the
tubes of boiler open in front. il as
long as the Boiler is wide, and the
smoke-stack rises from the center.
A pipe carrying the exhaust steam
from both cylinders rises half way
through the smoke-box directly un-
der the stack. It is here that the
engine says "choo. choo." An adj
Unstable damper diaphragm is
dropped from the top Of the boiler
diagonally over the upper half of the
flues. From this damper a wire
screen which cuts the box into upper
and lower halves, Is stretched to the
top of the exhaust pipe. In front
of the pipe the screen slopes up
to the front angle of the box. So
sparks coming through the tubes
are thrown downward by the damper
below the exhaust current, and If
they rise are stopped by the screen.
A new s:recn :;:.si.s all sparks
tig enough to hold fire. until they
could alight upon houses besides
the track. But experiments costing
yei.rs 6! time and thousands of
dollars have shown that to hold
sparks 1t must be made of one-six-
teenth in wire, five strands to the
inch. and wire of that size is soon
eaten away by the smoke fumes.
Many railways have a man who
does nothing but look after the
screens which need patches. It is
better that the railway companies
should pay for the time Of a man
than for burned houses.
