It might be a trick praise a laugh at my Se the purely a surmise very tmprobuble log and turned the matter over in 1 some time. At last 1 got up and pacing of: the required distance In the direction menti¢ the letter, I came to a large tree. Carefn' amining tt, I discovered a scar clearly {1 ing that the tree had been “blazed” at remote pericd. This was “confirmation strong zs Holy Writ,” and I immediately went to work to discover the locality of the ravine. Here I was at fault. Nothing of the kind was to be seen. To all appearances a stream of water never had passed in the nelghborhood of tbe tree. Tals Was fot encouraging, and I sat down on the | ground and read the letter again, to see if i ad not mistaken some of Its directions. No; I was in the right place, but where was the ra- vine? Atap on the shoulder aroused me from my meditation, and, looking up, I saw my two partners. who loudly abused me for having neg- ved the preparation for their supper. As an excuse I showed them the letter and detalied the manner of my finding it. To my surprise they were as much elated by its perasal as I had been, and we all looked around persever- ingly for the ravine, but without effect for some ume. At last Jack Nesbitt, who had been a miner since “$s, said: «7 think there has been a ravine here, but it has been filled by the rains.” On close examination we decided that his supposition was correct, and after some consul- talon we determined to commence digging early the following morning. orning came and we repaired to the spot with pick and shovel. Jack proposed that we should follow the course of the ravine, which appeared to run into the body of tue hiil, rather than to dig down; for, as he sald, we would be more likely to find the bag in the bed of the ravine, by following it a8 than by dig- ging down in any one place. ‘The result was, that in a few days we had formed quite a cave in the side of the hill. We worked at this tunnel for four days with out Duding the bag. On the fourth day Jack proposed that he and my other partner, Bill Jennings, should carry the dirt we had éxca- vated down to the river and wash It, leaviog me to dig in the tunnel. in that way they thought they might “make a grub” while searching for the hidden money. I thought the idea foolish, but as they entered so eagerly into my Views regarding tue buried baz or dust I made no objections to the play and dug away with redoubled energy. Infact I had thouz which, but for the aceident., ! never would have found. Wishing to surprise my companions, I concealed it, and redoubled my cries. Ina few minutes they came running up the hill, and soon liberated me from my unpleasant position. “ Well, Ned,” said Jack as he shook my hand, “Tam glad to see you're safe, old fellow; the more so as Bill and i have been deceiving you a little. You know we have been trying all the sutamer. to get you {oto a tunnelling op2atioa, and you have only laughed at us.” “Yes,” I said. “ Well, when you got that letter we made w our minds that we would go into the job wi ou; Not in the hope of finding any , but use we Knew you would work twice as hard with such an inducement, inten , mean- while, to wash the excavated dirt. This we have done; and, my boy, we have not made less than $300 any day since we began.” a ‘Then you think the bag a humbug, do you?” asked. Of course,” said he, “Well, I don’t; and intend going on looking for it,” sata I. Now, what {fs the use of being foolish?” quoth Bill Jenoings. “We have got as much dirt as we can wash for some time, and it pays Tcan't see the use of continuing such a wild- gocse chase as the hunt for that bag.” * said 1, * I intend to fol- Ned, we may as weil tell you first as I wrote that letter in order to get you lest. into turnelin, “how abor nly LWO years ol “W you § tree, and wrote the letter to sult it. «Then what do you think of this showing lim the bag | had found fn the cave. you see,” sald he, “we found that * Tasked, Jack Was nonpulsed. On opening the bag we found about three thousand dollars’ worth of gold. Jack would never confess, out always in- Sisted that the variance between the statement in the letter and the amount in the bag was proof enough that there was no connection be- tween the two. I don’t think so, however, aud i believe that Jack’s assertion of having writ ten the letter was untrue. We could never as- certain anything about, Mr, Forest, so we divided the money among us. Is Your Note Good? A Boston lawyer was called upon a short time ago by a boy, who inquired if he had any waste paper to sell, The lawyer has acrisp, keen Way of asking questions, and 1s, moreover, a very methodical man. So pulling out a draw, he exhibited his stock of waste paper, lald smoothly in, sheet after sheet—a solid mass. “Wil you give me twenty-five cents for th ‘The boy looked at the paper doubtfully a mo- ment, and offered fifteen cents. “Done!” said the lawyer; and the paper was quickly transferred to the bag by the boy, whose eyes sparkled as he “hefted” the weighty | mass.

Day after day we worked—I digging and my companions Washing; yet strange to say, I did not become discouraged. They sald nothing about the bag of gold-dust, and I asked them nothing about the result of their washing the excavated soil. We had worked about three weeks, and had formed a tunnel extending about fifteen feet into the bill, when, one afternoon, completely Ured out, I sat down to rest in the cave. I had only Intended to sit a little while, but five min- | utes had not elapsed before I was sound asleep. 1 was awakened by a crash, and found my feet and legs completely covered by a mass of dirt and stones. The front part of the tunnel re- mained frm, and from my observation of its structure prior to the accident, I was convinced that I had no reason to apprehend any danger in that quarter. My partners had carried dirt enough to the riverto keep them busy there for the rest of the day; sol had nothing to hope from their assistance. The question that first Presented Itseli to my intnd was, how long can life be sustained in this confined state? read a dozen times statistics in relation to the amount of alr consumed hourly by human be- ings’ lungs, but, like almost everybody else, had merely wondered at the time, and then forgot the figures. How much I would have given then to beable to recall them! The next thought was, how can I proceed to extricate myself? This ques- tion was dificult of solution. If I went to work with shovel and pick to clear away the dirt that had fallen, {t was very likely that all I should be able to remove would be immediately replaced by that which would fall in from above. This was pleasant! I racked my poor brain to devise some means of lberatlag my- self, Dut without effect. Leaning against the wall in utter despon- dency, I Was about to throw myself down on ‘Ube ground and await my fate, when 4 observed that quite a stream of water, on a sinall scale, Was making its way down the side of the cave. Al first] was alarmed, as I thought it might loosen the earth above and bring another mass down on ead. The next moment the thought struck me that it might be turned to my advantage. Why could | not direct it so that it would Wash away sufictent earth tn its progress to the outlet of the cave to make an opening large enough to allow me to crawl through it? Even if Tonly succeeded in making an air hole it would enable me at least to exist until my oes could come to my rescue. Carefully examtning the course of the water, I succeeded in finding the spot where it entered the cave, and to my great joy ascertained that 1 could casily direct it by cutting a channel out of the sides of my prison to the mass of earth that blocked up the entrance of the tunnel. The alr at Lhis me was quite hot and stilling, and I became aware that whatever was doue must be done quickly, or I should perish for Want of oxygen. After cutting a channel for the water to flow towards the entrance, I enlarged the opeuing by which the stream entered the cave, and re- joiced to observe that tt flowed with redoubled foree. raking: my shovel, I pushed {t through the moistened earth as far as I was able, aud then awaited the further action of the water. In a few minutes I could push it further, till at last It was out of my reach. Then, Placing the pick-handile against it, I pushed both as far as I could. With What eagerness did I waten to see the first opening made by the water! But I was sutararetiied by observing that It flowed tn a steady stream th the direction in wien 1 the pick and shovel. ital In @ few minutes I discoverd a faint glimmer- ing in the distance, which might be an opeaing or the effect of an excited imagination. | scarcely knew which.

LOGS, A gentleman connected with the manufacture of ornaments from Irish bog oak gives to Land | and Water some interesting particulars with re- gard to the history of that industry. When Taken up this bog dak Is perfectly black from the action of the peat or bos water. Itis very rarely obtalned ina sound state, and in most cases the outer portions of the tree or Iog are rotten, ard useless even for fuel. When latd up for use, care must be taken that it ts not placed in the open air, lest it may, from the sun's rays, become open and shattered into chips from’ end to end. ‘To preserve it, {t must be put into some cogl place, and left to dry cradually, and when properly seasoned {t must fe cutin lengths of from two to four feet, and these lengths be split again, and the sound arts removed from the unsound. It takes ‘rom four to six years to season some specl- | mens, as in many instances the wood fs found at a depth of eight and sometimes ten feet under the surface. When pro erly seasoned, any portion requiring to lued becomes hard as stone, and is tirmer and less Mabie to give way than any portion of the manufactured article. The finish ts not quite erfect until the article has been for some time in use, and the longer the finer the article seems to be, no matter whether used as a per- sonalor table ornament. The men employed are all, without exception, self-taught; each one makes lis own tools, and Will not take any ap- prentices; and each person has a pecullar taste for a certain kind of ornaments, which he fol- lows, and to which he Is left, to produce the best specimens he can. There are jewelers who mount and embellish the ornaments with and silver, and with rare and most brilllan® Irish gems, such as the Kerry Irish diamond, the emerald, the gernet, amethyst, beryl, aqua- marine, and Donegal pebble. The Celtic orna- ments are generally studded with the above native gems; they are beautiful, and most artis- Ucally executed, The designs embrace some thousands, and all of them are both classic and historically illustrative of Irish antiquities. Extensive deposits of bog oak and other buried woods have been discovered in Germany. Bob Burdette’s Farewell to Sum- mer The summer is past. The harvest is ended. ‘The vacation fs over.

WATER-SOAKED | : ‘The Waste Life. A hotel-keeper, past the middie age of life, of long lence, and who had quite acute pow. ers of observation tn regard to the physiqe of his was quite positive that there nad been ped of late a better form in worn ia- kind. “I know of no reason to account tor to's , “than by advarciag the idea that women and girls are be'ter fed.

Delicate hands and feet were, of course, to be found, but it was accompanied with droopit nO breadth of chest, and general del do net know if it arlsesso much on account of more exercise, but rather from the fact that food, such as women use, {s better cooked and more plentifully given to them than in the time of our mothers and grandmothers. There used to be an old-fashioned school which was founded on stinting. It was unladvitke for a irlto eata hearty meal. Our sisters used to Be bait starved. Cravings for that solid food which was absolutely necessary for growing girls were sausfied with cips of tea or thin slices of bread and butter on which a little pre- gerve had been spread. Now, you may think but little of my experience, but a sea-side re- sort is exactly the place where a fair judg- ment can be formed as to the size, weight and general appearance of our women. I am quite positive that if you were able to weigh the wo- men and girls who were walking on this ver- anda or on the sands, and had a record of the weights of thelr mothers at thesame age, there would be an increase to-day of from {0' to 15 per cent, quite sufficient to add immensely to the personal appearance of our women. You may say that I am an interested Parey, be- cause I feed my guests as well as I can, | that a better class of people frequent my house, | but the observations I have the honor of enter- taining you with are general, and apply to the | great majority of women I meet in the streets | of New York. We have no better food as to quality. but believe that it is the preparation of it which has made the change. There ts no country in the world where the necessity of good, well-cooked food is greater than in the “nited States. The changes in our climate are terrible, and the wear and tear on the human frame is immense. Perhaps nowhere else, in avy great city of the world, ts the stress on hu- man brains so great as in New York. It is mir- aculous to think how, 50 years ago, men or w men got along at all, and preserved their facul- ties, with the bad system of feeding they had then. But ifI believe I can appreciate better physical condition in the city, I cannot say the same for the country. ‘The country ts still | ple-fed and frying-pan fed, it revels in clammy | paste, sticky dough, overdone meat, ignores a | rare brotied beefsteak, is utterly ignorant of soup, and destroys its digestion by clogging stomachs with bacon fat.

These engender long lantern jaws, pallid complexions, and slabsideness in men and women, Feed amananda woman through a half century on indigestible food, and their offspring will show the effects of it.

That stimuiant which rood, well-cooked food, and plenty of it, would af. ford them they do not think about. The great waste that 1s always pulling them to pieces they make up for too ofien by drink.

Your pro- fessor plods, it is true, and may not require ay arently, the same priming, but still he ne; lects his stomach, and is proud of such neg- | lect. It is incompatible, so he thinks. with the dignity of his calling to stoop down to the wants and necessities of men in lower occupa- tion. He bolts a little bad food, and is su- remely ignorant or indifferent whether he is feeding on baked or boiled meat. Now, how stupid it Is for a man of science, who ought to understand the first principles of a steam-en- gine, to fancy that any machine can work with- out the necessary amount of good fuel. A pro- fessional person should be temperate, but not abstemious; when a man fs giving himself away—parting all the time with his substance— why, teetotalism often dries him up and with- ers him.

A New Hearing Machine. Professor J. W. Graydon, of this city, has for some time been experimenting with a new in- vention called the audiphone, which is intended to supplant the old ear trumpet for use by the deaf. There has been an audiphone invented in Chicago, but Professor Graydon claims that his instrument is agreat improvement upon that. The audiphone, as constructed by Professor Graydon, consists of a small electro-micro- phore, to the centre of the diap) m of which is attached a cord, which may be of any length, and on the other end of which cord 1s attached @ small piece of wood. The manner of working the instrument Is very simple and can be brietly described as follows: The deaf person takes a firm hold of the piece of wood between his upper and lower teeth, and the party desiring to con- verse with the deaf man talks through the elec- to-microphone attachment at the other end :f the cord, hol the cord taut. The theory advanced Is that the sound is conveyed through the nerves of the teeth and the bones of the face to the auditory nerve, which, owing to some defection of the ear, caused by disease, is not approachable through the usual channel, thence to the brain. The instrument will only work, however, when deafness has been caused by disease. In case of paralysis of the auditory nerve it is useless. Some very interesting tests of the audiphone were made at the deaf and dumb department attached to the Third Inter- mediate School yesterday morning. Among others was one of a bright-looking colored girl, who was entirely deaf. ‘The pro- fessor talked to her at @ distance of about 25 feet through the instrument, and she repeated after him every ailing which he said. Another was alittle girl who had been deaf and dumb from birth. Using the mute alphabet she in- formed the teacher in charge that she could hear that one statement of the professor was made in a louder tone of voice than another, but that she could not understand what he said, never having been able to hear such sounds before. Insome other cases, however, the pu- pis upon whom the instrument was tried sald their mute language that they were unable to distinguish any sound whatever. It is fair to presume that the instrument will, as have the telephone and microphone, be peaes im- proved, and that at no distant day it will be of great service to those afflicted by deafness.— (Cincinnati Gazette, Sept. 26.

One sort is almost Diack, with yellow spots from head to tail: another 13 a tawny yellow; and still another is the color of the country rock. From June to September the thermometer on the plains averages from 110° to 120° through the day, and often as high as 115° at night. Snakes do hot move much through the day in these months, preferring to enseonce themselves under the friendly shade of a pro- Jecting rock or an occasional bit of sage brush. and await the going down of the sun. Then they come out and stretch themselves in the cool dust of the highways. This is a very dan gerous coun‘ry for travellers at night. Horses are frequently bitten on the legs, and die in agony. There lives are sometimes saved, but not often, There are no end of rattlesnake eS extant in Arizona, Some of them are rue. A few weeks ago I saw a Mexican of thirty years’ residence ih Arizona. My notice was at- tracted to him by a large lump or bag of flesh panging from his face. I inquired about it. He had been captured by a lot of Apache Indians when achild. They fancied him for his beauty and his well-knit, frame,and desired to keep him in the tribe, having previously put it out of his power to return home by massacreing his par- ents and burning the house; so they took him into the mountains, where there was no danger of pursuit. There they caused a rattlesnake to bite him on the leftcheek. They permitted the poison to take effect toa certain extent; then they applied an antidote and saved his life. But he has ever since carried about this un- sightly reminder of his strange experience. Nowadays the Apaches are safely corraled on government reservations, and the rattle- spake is left to hisown playful fancies. They generally know if any one 1s around, and make their own presence known. In some parts of the territory they are so flerce that they will attack aman on horseback if he comes within striking distance. Tom Ewing of San Fran- cisco, Who erected several quartz mills in Arl- zona, Was driving along one day when his pro- gress was barred at an abrupt turaby a mon- ster rattlesnake. His horse became panic syrickep, and as he was unarmed he was forced to turn around and seek assistance at the near- est station. Several men came out with shot- guns, and after a fight, which came near prov- ing fatal to one of them, the venomous reptile was killed. It stretched clear across the road, adistance of 14 feet 3 inches. Judging from the number of rattles, his age could not have been less than 42 years. I do not vouch for this story, but there are meh in Arizona who claim to have seen the snake arter he was killed. It 18 one of the traditions of the territory. Snakes from 5 to § feet in length are not at all uncommon, I was riding Biong through Salt River valley at the close of a terribly hot day in July, when Icame upon an oasis in the wilder- ness, the home of a settler named Marks. It had been so hot ali day that no work could be done out of doors, and it was only a few min- utes before my appearance that an Indian boy in Marks’s employ had goue to the upper ena of asmall vegetable garden to do some neces- sary chores. He had been there but a moment when he cried out in alarmin the Indian tongue, “A snake! a snake!” and jumped upon a shelv- ing rock hard by. Marks grabbed his shotgun and ran through the garden just in time to see an immense rattlesnake preparing to strike the boy. He jumped to one side and tired, blowing the snake’s head off and saving the boy’s life. This snake measured 9 feet and I inch, and was as big as a man’s leg. But the best snake story 1s told by Hank Pul- sifer, known otherwise as “Rattler Hank,” on account of his thousand and one adventures with rattlesnakes. Hank has been bitten four times, and attributes his continued existence to the fact that he always packs plenty of whisky with him. He has killed 1,400 rattlesnakes in the last two years, to say nothing of the hun- dreds be had got away with before that time, and of which he never kept a record. It 1s the old man’s delight to bask in the smiles of his cronies, and you may see him at any time, when he is not out prospecting the neighboring hills for gold or sliver, sitting in Bill Brigg’s cabin, comfortably loaded with tanglefoot and detailing his adventures. He was in Florence in August ona big spree. When he gets pretty badly fuddled he telis his biggest yarus. It was my good fortune to hear one of them. “Boys,” he asked, ‘did you see that Greaser in town yesterday with the tarantulas? I reckon you ain’t seen no bigger tarantulas than them critters. I give ‘em to him; ketched ‘em out near the Alvarado mine; they was havin’ a party like with a hull bilin’ o’ rattlers. I never seed no such rattlers yet. [Hank was leading up to his story. One who knew him well at once ordered the benzine for thecrowd.] J ain’ seed no such rattlers as them,” hecontiaued, setting down his empty glass, “There was forty hun- dred if there was one, and a rangin’ all the way from two to ten foot in length And such an all-fired hissin’ anda wrigglin’and a bowin’ and a scrapip’ to one ‘nother as polite as you please, and Mr. Suake crawlin’ around Mrs. Snake, and the young snakes a tumbling’ over their daddies and mammiles till you couldn’t rest. What did Ido? Ireckon I kinder didn’t do nothin’ but keep shady. But a blasted jack rabbit run across the bush just behind me, an’ I bein’ kind o’ hungry like, let him have it. The noise 0’ the gun goin’ off started the snakes, and they saw me quicker ’n a second, an’ jess stood on their hind Jegs and roared to get at the old man. There war a pile o’ rocks a hemmin’ me in on all sides ‘cept one. I had jest come over them rocks @ slidin’ down, but couldn’t get back. ‘There was only one way out, and that was right through thesnakes! And there was forty hun- dred of ’em as sure as ——. They saw they had me, and had already divided me up like, an’ I standin’ there a lookin’ at ’em with my eyes stickin’ out and the sweat a pourin’ off me like rain, an’ they kep @ comin’ an’ a opentu’ their jaws an’ a lickin’ o’ their chops as much as to Say, ‘Ole man, yer our meat.’ Well, I yanked a rock an’ driv it into ‘em, an’ before they got over their supprise I’d drunk all the ‘bug juice’ in my canteen an’ made a break. More’n five hundred of ’em must a struck me as I skinned through the gantlet. But I had a p'aro’ buck- skin breeches over my butternuts, an’ the — fools couldn’t bite Cray dee So I hoofed it over the perrarie for more’n half a mile, cos I didn’t dar to stop a second or they would a got loose an’ stuck me on the hand. As it was, they kep ’ astringin’ out behind me like so many tails. But you couldn’ seen ’em forthe dust. You hear me!” = Hank's listeners were setting in open-mouthed onder, taking in the story as he spun it out, and they were eagerly awaiting the climax. Sagebrush Charlie spoke up: “Look a yere, Hank, you say there was five hundred snakes hitched on to your britches ?” “Yes, five hundred; nary one less.” “Well, how much you reckoned each critter would average—about three pounds, I reckon?” oWintan this; * Why, on’y ; you war packin’ fifteen hun- dred pounds of snakes. Perhaps you will take a tumble to yourself and kinder explain how you could pack so many critters.” “Look here, Charlie; you’re a pretty squar kind of @ boy, and pooty good on figgers and arithmetickin, an’ that kind o’ truck, an’ I don’t mind sayin’ to you that fifteen hun o’snakes tackeled onto a man when heis scar't— ae is ae _— reat oir ioebe a re’n an ordinary shot-gun.

I seed there was only one way te get rid of em, an’ I yanked out my knife an’ commenced choppin’ their tails off lose up to thetr ears. By the time I ‘rived at Moss’s ranch they had all been cut away, but their heads was still stickin’ by the fangs to my buckskins, Boys, it war a lively canter while it tasted.” “ How many heads was there a stickin’ onto your buckskins, Hank?” Charlie asked. “Lem me see; fem me see,” Hank answered.

E. M, Shaw, the chier officer of the Metropolitan fire brigade, I was afforded an op- portunity of not only Inspecting the various de- partments connected with headquarters, Dut ot witnessing the workings of the force when alarms Of fire occur. As the department differs so inuch from the one in Philadelphia, I thought it would be interesting to the readers of the Laiger to Know something about its operations. Ina city like London, tt fs of great importance to have au effictent fire brigade, and it ts claimed hat the arrangements for at least preventing arge fires are better tn London than in any ther city. the fact that Captain Shaw, as cbief officer, has unlimited power, and that’ the force under his command is thoroughly trained tn the duties to be performed, and as the entire force is com- pos of sailors, either from the navy or mer- chant service, the work is done with great promptnress and without noise or confuston, ‘The strength of the fire brigade at present 1s s follows: Fifty fire engine stations, 109 fire Scape stations, 4 floating stations for service along the river Thames, 3 floating steam fire ngines, 3 large land steam fire engines, mall ones, 1('5 six and seven inch hand fire e ines, 17 hose carts, 125 fire escapes and long scaling ladders, and 436 firemen of all rank: All of these firemen are thoroughly trained be- fore being allowed to participate in active du- ties. Their training is received at the chief's headquarters, which are located in buildings that occupy, with stables and yards, two acres of land. Every day the newly appointed tire- men are exercised, and, until they are perfect in their drill, are not allowed to have any part in the extinguishment of fires. This drill con- sists In the use of the hose carts, working the engine, and practice with the scaling iadders. And here It might be stated that reels, or hose- carriages, a8 in use In Philadelphia, have been entirely abandoned, and hose carts, holding 300 feet of hose, and pulled and managed by one man, have been substituted. These, the chief states, have been found much more useful, as trifling fires are often extinguished by them be- fore the large steamers are ready to go into service. The steamers and hand-engines also carry hose for their own use. Repairs to the engines, hose, and equipments are all done at headquarters. Each engine ts repaired under the supervision of the engineer having it in charge, and who 1s eld responsible for keeping :t alWays in perfect order. If he should fall to Teport his engine out of order, and attempt to work it when in that condition, he would be dismissed from the service. In fact, the discl- pline throughout is very perfect, and offences are rarely overlooked. The city 1s divided into five districts, includ- ing the headquarters, and in each of these d!s- tuicts is lccated one matn station, under the charge of a superintendent, who reports to the chief. Surrounding these main stations are located the subordinate stations, so as to cover the district thoroughly, and all within t Sate communication with the district center. 10, if a sire occurs in any one of these districts, it is managed by the superintendent of that lo- cality, without calling for help from the others, or from headquarters, unless the conflagration may be an extensive one. During the past year there were 170 serious and 1,489 slight fires, as that it may readily be seen how useful are the small engines and hose carts, because of their ability to reach a fire soon and to get into immediate service. Of the serious fires during the year, 8s endangered Ufe, and of the 151 persons In danger 126 were saved and 25 lost their ves, 120f whom were rescued allve. The use of soft coal in every part of London, of course, fouls chimneys, and during the year the calls to put out fires in chimneys numbered 3,763, and in all these cases there was no at- tendance of engines, but only firemen with handpumps. The total quantity of water used for extinguishing fires in the entire district in Isis was 19,222,916 gallons, and about two-fifths et ee whole were taken from the river and 1Ocks. The force of firemen is at present divided so as to have 91 on duty by day and 168s by night, the remaining men being available for general work at fires. The men are so located, thar. when needed the entire number can be brougat into service night or day. Tbe steam engines have always water in thelr boilers at boiling point, the chief disapproving of the practice of raising steam entirely while the engine 1s on its way to the fire. To keep the water hot, a small tron plate perforated with holes and connected with the gas pipe, is placed in the boilerand just over the wood, which 1s to serve for igniting the coal, and of course steam 1s soon generated without dam- age tothe boiler by the sudden expansion or ous caused by generating the steam so rapidiy. rhe hose and the Sele hed at- tention, the very best 01 ing used. Until within a few years the leather hose was gener- ally used, but this is now being supe hose of strong canvas, lined with rubber, and so far all contracted for has been made tn Be! um, at a cost of $40 per 100 feet. Last year Saptain Shaw gave out a contract for 40,000 feet, and recently another one for 30,000 fee”. The couplings are made here, and a new one just Invented by Captain Shaw seems to be very’ popular, as it can be used with great ease, and Lever falls Or gets out of order, except from long use. The causes of fire are examined tnto with great care, and in the report for the past year the principal causes of fire were from candles, defective flues, escapes of gas, hot ashes, lamps upset, lights thrown down, sparks from fire, foul flues, and children pl with lucifers. The entire organization of the M. F. B., as at present constituted, is almost wholly due to Captain Shaw, who has reduced the entire working to a system as perfect as the standing orders on board a man-of-war. His theory 15 that the sooner a stream of water can be brought to bear upon a fire the sooner the fire will be brought under control. To accomplish this, light engines, easily worked by a few men. and which can be drawn by men or horses, and having a capacity of only 200 gallons or less per minute, are better than heavy pondrous ma- chines, hard to move, and consequently slower to reach the scene of action, even if they throw 3,-Inch stream. and having a capacity of 600 lions a minute. A bucket of water applied at the ett moment would have prevented the great Chicago fire, a few moments later perhaps a hand-pump, such as are in use here, would have been suflictent, and an hour later all the engines in the United States probably would not nave prevented the spread of that great confla- gration. The funds for the maintenance of the fire brigade are provided from three sources, viz : The insurance companies doing business in the metropolis contribute at the rate of $175 per $5,000,000 of their gross amount of insurances; the national treasury contributes a fixed an- nual sum of $50, for general protection of public eee and the citizens pay a tax of one cent on the pound on property, the total assessment of which amounts to $105,000,000. ‘The total income, therefore, for the use of the fire brigade, is $94,000 from the insurance com- es, $50,000 from the treasury, and $227,500 m taxation, making a total of $311,500.—[Corr.
