A device designed to prevent fires
from SCOT, defective or overheated
chimneys, was demonstrated yesterday
before Chief George w Newberry of
the fire department by w. w. Ames,

featuring company of Newark, n j.
The chief was SO pleased with it that
he heartily endorsed 1t and expressed
the belief that its general adoption and

number OF fires by 70 per cent. The
device is simplicity itself being mere
ly screen fitted to the damper in such
way that the damper cleans off the
SCOT which settles on the screen. The
screen. absolutely prevents any fire,
sparks or even SCOT from getting
through and thereby obviates the
cause OF the majority of fires
