FLAME BURSTS FROM

Boston Fire Department Gets
Shock During Test.

BosroN, Oct. 90. - The phenomenon
Of flame bursting from a IRE hose
through which water was passing when
there was no fire near has mystlfied the
Boston Fire Department. Nothing like
II ever occurred before, according to Fire
Commissioner John r. Murphy. who said
II was the most interesting thing that
has happened in the fire business in n
long time"
The hose was of a standard make. its
composition well within the specifications
OF the department and OF the National
Board of Fire Underwriters. The fire
developed during a test OF big motor
pumping engines. II burned holes
through the hose In two places. each
near the engine connection. flame break
ing through on the outside.
First opinion OF experts was that free
sulphur had been left between layers
OF the hose as a residue OF vulcanization,
but analysis showed minus quantity as
compared with specification allowance.
The possibility of a spark developed by
friction through elongation and subse-
quent contraction of the hose under the
enormous pressure OF the motor pumps
was suggested by the Commissioner
The burned sections have been sent To
Prof Augustus II. Gin of Massachusetts
Institute OF Technology for examination.
