A FIRE ALARM.

There ought to be better method
for giving fire alarms than the one
in use here. 1t is useless, under the
existing system of town government,
to advocate the fire alarm telegraph
now in almost universal use in large
cities on the continent. That is,
unless owners of property can afford
to invest in the improvement as an
insurance scheme. 1t ought to be
possible, however, to devise method
in conjunction with our telephone
system, which would be far more
efficient than the present one. Map
out the town into score of districts,
and publish the numbers and bounds
of them in cards for general distri-
button. Where the telegraph alarm
exists, business men often have the
districts printed with their adver-
tisements. Have q certain telephone
in each district-it might be one in
private use-set apart for fire signal
ling purposes. Then, suppose fire
breaks out in No. Is, something like
the following course could be
adopted The keeper of the tele-
phone at once announces the fact to
the central Office, who Immediately
telephones the number to each fire
station and to the sexton of every
church having bell. Those in
charge at the fire stations respond ut
once by lighting the fires in the
engines, throwing open the doors
and getting everything in readiness
for the earliest possible start. The
persons having charge of the bells
give the alarm by ringing the number
of the district repeatedly at intervals
OF half minute, thus :--one, pause
of three seconds, one, two, three,
forming the number thirteen. In the
telegraph fire alarm this is done by
means of clock work in the central
fire station, the number being
sounded three times in succession.
That would not be a sufficient alarm
here, where the warning out of the
fircmen necessitates arousing the
whole population. Some such scheme
as that above described is, we be-
lieve, feasible, and would be a great
improvement, Nominally there is
an approach to such a system now
in operation, there being thirteen
fire wards and the number of the
one where Ere occurs being rung

THE FIRE LADIES.

There are no organizations in the
city deserving of more liberal sup
port from the property owners than
those forming our gallant fire bri-
gade. Until we have municipal in
corporation, and perhaps for some
time afterward, dependence for pro-
lection against fire must be upon
volunteers. The voluntary system
must be extended until iinan-
cial assistance is brought into pro-
portion with the muscle and pluck
now so generously placed at the
service of the community. One
thing that should be provided is
horse power to draw the engines to
fires. This is necessary, both in
justice to the men and for the sake
of the time gained, the latter one of
the very first essentials to efficiency.
At present only one engine, No. 2,
has the advantage of being hauled
by horses. A striking illustration
Of the hardship accruipg to the

three years by universal suffrage, and
the number of registered electors in
the Empire is about 100000. At
the last elections, in 1881, barely
half of this total went to the polls
but in Berlin the Progressists, or
radical wing of the Liberal party,
polled large vote and carried all the
six seats. Since then the Progress
sists bave become merged with the
Secessionists from the old National
Liberal faction into new party call
ing themselves Liberalists. In the
capital only one Of their candidates,
DR.. Ludwig Lowe, has been elected.
One of the seats has gone to a So
cialist, and the other four will have
to be contested again at q second
ballot, the Liberal candidate being
opposed in every case by Il Conser-
vative and q Socialist. 1t is the
custom in continental elections for
the candidate who has polled the
smallest vote to retire before second
ballot, limiting or openly declaring
to his supporters that he would like
them to vote for one or other of his
former competitors. By virtue of
this arrangement it is possible that
an alliance between Conservatives
and Socialists may oust the Liberals
from the four seats which remain
open in Berlin. --Ea.
