e S ril 28, 1911, FIGNTING FIRE WITH CHEMICALS n';r:leu.. Ohh'. n!:!!llov;nl s uis fira, subject of ting fire wi chemléals has been. brought. up for diseussion. A writer to: 1';‘ Blade, whose plant was . serlously damaged, waid: “It seems to me thit fighting _fire with chemicals in which fire can- mot burn or spredd s more scientific than fghting fire with water which only puts fire out and does more dam- age then fire as a rule. Also it doésn't keep fire out. How mich better than pouring water on flames it would be 10 throw chemicals over a burning Dbuilding which would keep out the oxygen the flames feed on.' ‘The Blade in its comments upen this view of the superiority of chemicals in fire fighting, sald: “Chemicals have saved many thousamds of dollars’ worth of property in Toledo, not only from flames, bui also from damage water. But the utility. of chemjcals 10 stieh & purposs is restricted. "With- out knewing Yhe exact process by ‘whiely the promise of chémical extin- guishing of fires dwindled and faded -m. ‘We gather that the inventors in ‘thele émthusiasm left the' haman éle- memt out of their calculations. That Ppaft of the air whieh fire feeds upon i fhat which the lungs of man feed upon. A conflagration whereon & arest amount of chemical substances were thrown would be fatal to fire- men amd spectators. Property might be saved, but lives losti A practical plide seems to have been found for wmdll *ohemical fire extinguishers Their limit has probably been found Whe_ firemen recognize the advan- tages bt chemicals in fire fAghting and how to use them. 'This is a witleh must be left entirely to | théir juagment MAY MAVE TO BE RETURNED. %hers is no reason why detectiv | in any ease ahould violate law to se ¥ cure a victim. The country has been somewhat surprised by the position Presiden: Gompers has taken with reference to MeNamara of tion of Bridge ‘orkers; but i e conduet of Detectlve, William J. « 'Burns i8 as reporfed, Gompers is ::)m- fied in the position he has taken. The way in.which Burns took McNamara from Indiana is said to have been il- legal, 1t is thai the law lay$ down that must be obe: fhom one state @ man charged in another. - Those forms & paisoner no matter what he Is aeeused of, and they are not to be empty phrases. So it does in the least what evidence ainst MeNama- was taken out of the state Indlena without due process of law and deprived of evén the least of hiy " legal rights, he was treated with law- less comtempt of the prerogatives granted every citizen of the land. What this detective has done will , Mave to be passed upon by the courts and if these claims mre sustained it is peodable that McNamara will have 1o be returned to Indiana.

WARNED OF OUR PERILS. No age was ever o theroughly warned of .its perlls ss this age of ours; and when the scientists and hy- gienists lay them out bhefore us, we Jaugh, We are an audacious lot of individuals and we do mot get. fright- ened at the bacilll on dirty dollar- bills, on the dear old family roller in the Kitchen, on the drinking cups, or the Wbacteria or animalculae which hold conventions on the straws at the soda fountains, or breed by millions in our whiskers. It the people took these things se riously, what kind of a world ‘would this be to live in? ““Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise” but the hunters of microscopic pests -.and perils do not appear to have seen the point yet. If they will just teil us how Methuselah ever got on’for '900 vears without any knowledge of - his microscepic énemies, or any guard of hig life whatever glong these lines, they will do us a favor. It is a fact that if a million of these | germs can sit on a noedle point, as some scientists aver, it would ‘take 92,000,040 of them to cover the long Latin name they are known by. ‘the studying out of the pronunciation of which is enough to make a well man sick. The ood old Bible prophets used 1o carry millions of them in their big beards, snd they fived to s Tipe old age.
