PUTS OUT PETROLEUM FIRES
Caustlo Soda Solution Mixed With
Alum Is Found to Be Most
Efflcacious.

There are no fires more disastrous
than those in which petroleum min
eral essences, benzoin, ETC., play a
part, on account of the difficulty OF
getting them under control. No real
ly eff1cacious method has ever been
put into use to extinguish fires OF
hydro-carbonic origin. Water is ut
terly useless. Danger may be at
times reduced to a minimum by pre-
venting contact Of air with the flame,
choking 1t between blankets, mats,
damp cloth, earth, or sand. but this
Is by no means always sufficient. For
this reason scientists are interested
in some experiments made recently in
