CHIMNEY URES Tu the Editor;--In dealing with chimney tires is it advisable to use chemical extinguishers, and if so, should they be used from the top or bottom end of the chimney? A reply tlirough your Questions and Answers columns will be appreciated.
Verv truly yours.

(Answer. - It is seldom necessary to resort to chemical extinguishers in handling chimney fires. However, if they are used, it is best to use them from the top of the chimney, when dampers are closed, as carbon dioxide, which is generated in the extinguish¬ er. IS heavier than the gases of com¬ bustion and sinks. By this action it will eventually reach all parts burning and show its effect. Chimneys on fire have been cleaned by dropping coal, liricks and other material down from the top and colliding with the burning suol UII lhe way down and disposing the whole mess in the lireplace. This and the pouring of water down chim¬ neys should only be resorted lo in very bad casts, as the lire should he readily extinguished by cutting up the supply of air and so prevent further cointius- tion by excluding necessary oxygen. This can be done by blocking up the opening in the bottom with sacks, ear- pets ur any other material through which air cannot pass, or better still bv thrTwing on the hre siillicii nt dinx- iiie Ul clam(ieiied cuminun salt which wht n liurning ur heateil yiekls respe 't- ively sulphur dioxide and hydrochloric acid gas. These gases will be tlriven up the chimney instead of the air sup¬ ply, anrl any further combu-'tion should In- uuiilf ini'ii'.ssibl.'.      Editor.)
