Detecta Forest Fire *'In -detecting a forest tire, for ex-, amnple." said Nir. WVeh, *it occasion- ally conveys a warning more swiftly and wit h norýf certaiîîtv than the. White there is nieyersmioke %ith- out fire, the converse is not- always' true, as Mr. Welch once found. Th Ven his nose was the means of preventing a serious forest fire along the Eck-, ford chain of lakes in the Adiron- dacks. He and a boy were paddling down the lakes when they caught an odor which Mr. Welch recognized as that of forest duf burning. They could ste no trace of smoke, but fin- ally they located the cause of the smeil. Sotne careless camper liac not completely ,stamiped out bis ire,r with the resuit that a hole two feet dleep and eight ini diamieter hadL been burned in the ground. The fire. was gaining headway and rapidly ap- proaching a pile of dead brush. Dig- ging out the edges, Mr. Welch and the boy -drenched the spot withi water uintil no, ire apparently remnained, but, knowing, the ways of - flame ini duif, thcy returned next day to find a thin pencil of smoke trickling upward.
