Abstract
IN reference to Sir W. A. Tilden's article in NATURE of June 10, may I direct attention to the fact that an ordinary syphon of “soda-water” is a very effective fire-extinguisher if used in the early stages of an outbreak due to bombs, etc., and it is a wise precaution to keep a supply, of the larger size, in readiness.
