AN AUTOMATIC ARRANGEMENT FOR PUTTING

AN AUTOMATIC ARRANGEMENT FOR PUTTING
Our FIRES.--Last Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock the underwriters of this city, to-
gelher with Chief.Engineer Hendrick, were
invited to be present at the buildings Of the
Mathushck Piano Compay, on Park street,
to witness the efficiency of certain arrange
ments made there for the extingUishiDg Of
fires. A complicated system or network Of
waterpipes has been completed in these
buildings at an expense Of over $4,000. The
pipes are so distributed throughout the in
terror Of the buildings that there is 10 space
of twelve feet square that is free from them,
and at short intervals there are projecting
spouts, dotted by caps soldered on. If a
fire breaks out in any part Of the buildings
the heat produced will Immediately melt the
solder which fastenS on one or more of these
caps in the immediate vicinity, and as soon
as that happens there fly from the uncovered
spouts streams Of water in every direction,
extinguShng the fire at once. -.
To show the visitors the value of this ar.
rangement large mass of combustible ma
terial was set on fire in the boiler-room. The
heat at once Embossed the sprlnklers, and
the fire was at an end. The exhibition was
very satisfactory to all. The company has
probably better regulated fire department
than any other private establishment in the
State. At q peculiar sounding of the steam
whistle as the tire.alarm--each
workman in the large building where the
most valuable stock is stored runs to win
dow to which he has been specially assigned
and closes the iron shutters. At the same
time other men close the lower entrance
in similar manner, and still other
workmen make hose connections, so that in
x,ehN no III nn
is all shut up, and streams of water driven
BY a powerful force-pump are ready to rise
far above the roof. Steam is always kept on
at the factory, and the tire-aarm whistle is
automatic, for as soon as the fire has melted
of cap and set the water running this &C.
ton of the water blows the whistle. The
company hope by these admirable arrange
ments to lessen their rates of insurance,
which are very high. The system seems al
most an insurance company Of itself.-Ne'o
