Murphy, has been receiving requests for information from all over the country. Ignition of a fire hose while water was being pumped through it though no fire was near is something new to those who consider the fire-fighting 1s sclence, To determine the this peculiar incident and ascertain how to avoid it, the Boston | fire department will undertake a series of tests and experiments. Professor Augustus H. 1, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the request of Commissioner Mur- phy examined the hose burned and, without king a chemical analysis, reported his bellef that the hose was | ignited from excessive friction caused by vibration beween two cotton Jackets, The hose was of the standard two and one half inch rubber lined double cotton jacket type, made ac- cording to the specifications of the Loston fire department, which con- form with those of National Board ' of Fire Underwriters. A 750 gallon pumping engine was being tested under direction of cn- gincers of the National Board of Un- | derwriters and officlals of the Boston fire department. For four hours the engine had drawn water from the Charles river basin when the order for high pressure test was given Two lines of hose were used, one from each side of the engine and each about 300 feet long. Morse gates were placed between the first and second length of each line and the gates were chocked down to about one third capacity, the gates on the engine out- lets beinz similarly reduced About fifteen minutes after the en- gine was started with & pump pressure of 250 pounds, smoke came from the hose about a foot from the coupling at the engine connection. Investigation showed that the hose was very hot and in a moment fiame burst through the outer covering, Within a minute the same thing happened to the hose on the other side of the engine. It was decided by the chiefs and experts | that the chocking down of the gates | had resulted in a tremendous amount | of wated being forced through a small opening. The water in passing | through the engine gate instead of filling the hose at the coupling was forced in at an angle, striking one side of the hose with a fine sharp point, with sufficient force to generate heut This point of water, together with the friction caused by the two cotton | jackets rubbing against each other | apparently caused the flame. The fire did not injure the rubber lining, which was not even charred, the flames working entirely in the cotton mixture. This was scorched for several inches around the burned hole. The condition under which the en- gine was working when the hose lgnited were said to be such as would wever occur while a fire was - bel fought and for that reason the fighters have only a keen ag interest rather than serious of their horse burning unless it comes in ¢o of s s busincss cause of | NEW BRITAIN' DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, JOURNALISM SCHOOL SEEK NEW STANDARD Association of American Schools Be- gins Two Days’ Session at Columbia, Missouri.

Efforts are being made to hip by rail but the car and locomotive shortage of all the coun- tries involved, as well as the lack of steam coal delays i rrival. But for American charity the city authorities concede that Vienna's plight d as it is, would have been infinitely worse this winter. The burgomaster, Dr. Reumann, in appre- ciation of the extensive. American re- lief being afforded by various organ- izations has asked The Associated Press to convey to the American people thg following Christmas mes- sage: “The tress in which the Vienna population is living in consequence of the dreadful war has highly im- pressed the American people. “In Vienna children are starving and perishing from malnutrition, the sick cannot be attended in the hos- pitals for want of medicines, surgi- cal instruments, dressing-stuffs and other remedies of all kinds; and the mortality is rapidly increasing among the weak and old. All these facts have called up a noble-minded readi- ness for help very touching to the population of Vienna. “The American people have eseat- ed a number of relief committees for the purpose of collecting gifts to be distributed among the indigent of Vienna and the famishing children. The American government has taken great interest in this relief work and the American Red Cross has brought love-parcels of a high value in Vien- na and softened the great misery to a considerable extent. ‘“We cannot enough admire this splendid assistance that was shown us in such a humane manner; our language has no words fit for in- terpreting our feelings of heartfelt thankfulness and gratitude. “As burgomaster of the City of Vienna, I beg to express herewith my profound and sincere thanks to the generous people of the American state for all the marks of sympathy shown the Vienna population and for all relief and assistance works be- stowed upon it. “I have the honor to send to it the best wishes of the Vienna town council for a Merry Christmas, as- suring you that the population of Vienna will never forget the human- ity and philanthropy of America that has relieved and helped us in this time of need.
