AMERICANS AHEAD. Appliances for Fighting Firo at the Htehost in TUia Cotintry. Ttaa KnclUh Iteirar.t Our Tim. Records lur I-uttliiK Out Urea u Som- hl.ic Truly Aston ishing. There is much tu be learned from America by all of us savs the Ignition News, and "it i.s to be retrretted that one of the eraclc brijradcs of the states eoul.l not have enis-sed the ocean to at tend the present firemen's eornrrens. We may find one more opportunity for the lesson if the committee of the Chi eatfo exhibition think fit to invite the firemen of Kurope to the coining world's fair. Tho Amerieans like to think that they take the lead in this branch of public work; and by all ac counts of them they would still W very hard to beat. Most of our newer con trivances are probably of American origin. The steam tire engine; the horses standing ready harnessed day and nitfht and trained to walk straight into the shafts as soon as they hear the alarm bell; thepoledown which the men. also ready dressed, slide from their slecpintf-rooins to reach the tase inent to save the few seconds that mifrht 1m- lost by their coining downstairs all these seem to have been matters of common experience in America when they were still talked of as novelties here. The same thintf may be said of the alarm boxen. The Americans train for speed, and Rome of their "records" are a-stonish-inp. At a fire which occurred in New York two years Rtfo. the first alarm was received at tt:07. In three minutes after that the lirst engine reached the burn ing building, which, it may be sup poset 1, was not far on. The whole see; ond floor, which was one hundred feet lonjr, was a mass of fire, and the flames were spreading to the stories abov.i Other engines stvin arrived, and by 0:3., or in less than half an hour, not a spark of fire was left in the building The water towers, which are hutfe per pendicular pipe, curried on a movable derrick, pour the stream into the high est buildings at any elevation recinireil. They are packed into a comparatively small space when not in use, but are in stantly reared to their full height by the force of carbonic acid gas. The floating tire engines are largely used in New York, as the city is surrounded by water. The latest is built of steel, and it travels at a very great speed. Its four pipes are from three to four inches in diameter, but the power of all the pnmps may be concentrated into one or two pipes, which yield a still larger vol ume of water. These five-inch streams, iu their tremendous force, act like battering-rams and drive their way through ceilings and roofs, and even through brick walls, into the very heart of the fire. In some instances the life lines are fired from a gun, on much the same principle as that in use for the rocket apparatus at sea. The gun carries a thiu line to the firemen at the top of the "burning building, and with this they draw up the stouter rope they require. The life nets, w hich are eqiia'ly light and strong, into which persons jump with comparative impunity from the highest tloors, save many lives. The In-st of these contrivances have been in troduced in our own fire service, in great part owing to the enterprise and energy of Capt. Shaw. He was able to boast in his farewell address that during the thirty years of his control of the metropolitan hritrode the number of stations had been raised from thirteen to fifty nine ami the number of firemen from not much more than one hundred to a little over seven hundred. In lsril there were no telephones or call points. They now extend over the whole of London. The last moment of hi official career, however, ("apt. Shaw was still calling for more of everything. Yet it will e Home time before the rate payer will enable him to realize his ideal of thirty two new stations at an average cost of a thousand a year each. A perfect water supply wiw theu, and perhaps still is, our most pressing need. Only a small number of the pipes were con stantly charged, anil there were often more engines at a fire than there was water for their use. A WELL OF ICiI WATER. One of Dakota' ('unit. Iaut autl Natural .usuries. A well-known Hartford lawyer, who has been traveling in the northwest, has come back with a story of an ex ceptionally natural convenience, the contemplation of which, in this trop ical season, says the Hartford t'ourant refreshes one's soul, uuless it breeds uneasy envy. II was stopping with a family in North Dakota. It was in July, and clear, cold water a luxury he did not f riijiiently find was most acceptable. The water on the table was so very sweet and so very cold that he was led to remark on its excellence. "Yes, our well has always satisfied us, and we think we have a good thing when we can draw ice water in mid summer." "It certainly is as cold as ice water,'' said tho visitor, not believing the re mark was meant exactly literally. "No. but it's actually ice water; we'll show it to you after dinner." And after dinner out they went, anil the New Knfland man was asked to look down. It was a round small brick shaft, much like the old wells seen here abouts, and went down to an extraor dinary depth. Hut there was a beauti ful sight at the bottom. It was, sure enough, a natural ice water tank, l'ieces of clear ice floated in the water, and a close ltxik showed a thick coating of ice all around the sides for quite a distance above the water. The melting was surely slow enough down there, and the prospect was god for plenty of ice water, at lea&t till the hot weather was over. The explanation was simple enough. When the bucket is drawn a little of the wat2r always spills or drips, and often stri!:ts the sides of the well as it falls. In th winter and Dakota win ters are uold this 'water at once freezes, and soon the entire length of the shaft is lined with ice This thickens at an increasing rate, and it is frequently necessary to cut it away with an ax to make room in which the bucket can slide up and down. In the spring this begins to melt, and the i.e falls to the ttom. The farther down, the slower is the process of melting. Hot Polities to England. as illustrating the bitterness of the recent campaign in Great Itritain the lloston Transcript publishes a letter writtcu by an Knglish liberal to a friend iu lloston. "We have had," he says, "a tremendous hard fight many say the greatest since ItCfi. All the aristocracy, landlords, publicans, factors, and. above all, the church against ua. The latter grew so keen on the subject that from over fifty pulpits for several Sundays past we (the liWral party) have been hje. ially commended to the Lord for punishment, and sermons against our idt-na preached. Some of the ministers have even gone so far as to say that any oue who troted for was not fit to re ceive the sacrament. Think of that in this nineteenth century, and it will show you how deep and bitter the fight has been. All I can say is that there are 6.535 excommunicated people in ltd constituency pjxjius."
