FIGHTING FIRE WITH DRY ICE.—Dry ice, the stuff that keeps ice cream from melting and makes soft drinks fizz, known to science as carbon dioxide. is being used here in a demonstration given at the Arrowhead Inn, New York, by the Lud Laboratory of Fire-fighters. This fire was started on a vertical panel with gasoline and was smothered with the "snow” projected by a fire-extinguisher. Carbon dioxide is finding great favour as part of the fire equipment of aerodromes, for it can quickly smother a petrol blaze.
