FLOATING steam fire engines are
now advocated by the Chicago pa
pers rs an effective means for pre-
venting extensive CONGREGATIONS.
Such engines have for many years
been employed by the London fire
department. The Chicago Tribune
expresses the opinion that no other
city in this country could make
snch apparatus as ~serviceable as
Chicago. seThe river and its brs aches
DIVIDE the city, and as those float
ing engines could be brought
to any part of the river, they
would be of use, not only along the
sides Of the river, out for q consider
sble distance back. They have
enormous power, being capable Of
sending large streams q great dis
sance. They are not dependent for
water upon hose or water works. So
long as the river is unexhausted
thesr supply is unlimited. They
would he particularly useful in cases
fres among the umber yards on
the river banks, or among the ware
houses ON the docks, which are in
accessible to the ordinary engines"
