Then fires were started in two similar cases, which were enamell- ed with the white glaze so fami- liar in the passenger accommoda tion of ships but one of them had an undercoating of the Fraat ing compound and the other had not, Temperatures were taken and showed a great variation, between the two. In a few minutes the

It is significant of the trend of thought that many busy shipping men held it worth while to attend the demonstration of destruction and resistance, and it was clear from expressions of opinion that many shipowners will consider very carefully in future the special treatment of timber in their vessels by fire-resisting compounds, of which there is now more than one type in the market. Time counits for much in ад emergency at sea and a substance which has the effect of retarding the spreading of a fire for even a few minutes while fire fighting forces were being organised would have its important part in saving ife and property:

One of the claims for. "Firesta" is that materials treated with the compound emit very little smoke when set alight. The substance is the product of the Keystone Paint and Varnish Company, Limited,
