ALARM SIGNAIs

ALARM SIGNALS.
The arrangements were completed
yesterday by which the iine alarm bell
may be made to give out its proper
sounds. One thing is wanted, however;
that is the signals to direct to the loca-
tion ofthe fire. This toWncovers Q large
area; and Il is confusing both to the fire
department and the citizens TO depend
upon a general alarm. Much valuable
time is.lost from uncertainty In the loca-
ton Of FIRE, which may be confined TO
the interior of buildina, giving no ont
ward signs of its whereabouts @ -
We may suggest q plan. In the abb
sence Of political division into wards,
let the city be divided into four FIRE
wards. South and North Main streets,
including Merrimon street, Patton Ay-
enQe and College streets forming the
bases of the ward diVisiong. Let the
quarter section between North Main
street and College street, embracing all
the area lying between to the corporation
boundary be known as the North East
Ward, or Number 1; that between Coll
lege street, and Soutl Main street, as
the Southeast Ward, or No. that be-
tween South Main street and Patton Av-
enue as Southwest Ward, or No. 3; and
that between Patton Avenue and Merri-
mon street and North Main street as
Northwest Ward or No. A. Now in case
of fire alarm let the bell be struck
rapidly at first. Then, if the alarm is in
Ward No. l, strike one several times at
measured intervals Then repeat the
rapid ringing for minute, then repeat
the single strokes. So for each ward
according to the occasion. This plan will
make the use OF the bell intelligent

j We clip the following from th

lance is here. A year ago last Marcl

"a few sparrows across the noun

They viii continue to Increase un
It'll they at length excite hostility al
they have done everywhere else
They will do this whereetney have
driven away all the song birds, have
attacked the farmers grain crops,
and when they weary the ear with
their disnal erosking ehirp. They
have notasseaeening strait. They
are noisy and filthy and impudent-
|ly offensive.
We called attention to them when
theyafrst appeared that steps might
be taken to nip the nuisance in the
bird. Nothing came of it.
We quote from the Star:
English sparrows, that were in
troduced here a few years ago. but
by whom we know not, seem to
have increased largely: small f1ocks
of them can be seen in almost every
quarter of the city. In other cities
and towns. where they are mere,nu-
merous, they are considered great
nuisance, and the bird is generally
under the ban It drives away ma
tive birds, destroys fruit and grain,
and is dlsagreeable in every way.
They ought to be exterminated, and
it is not too soon to begin work at
once. The American ornithologists'
union has collected evidence from
all parts of the country where the
English sparrow occurs, and has
published a report based upon their
Investigations. They have urged
that laws be passed against it, look
ing to its entire determination.
Acting upon this advice, and upon
experience with the past. several
States have repealed their protect
i've laws for its protection. The un.
ion in its report says: - esgs i'
~ In regard to a means of destrue-
ton levied, every State offer small |
bounty for birds and eggs, and the
small boys will do the work. Birds
are very quick at seeing whether or
not they are wanted. IF they are
prosecuted, they instinctivsly draw
away from man, as in thk case of
the crow. Wenaay Eet be>able to
rid ourselves of the pest,
but we can at least succeed in driv-
ing them away from the cities; and
once get them into the country,
where they can be tlught to fear
The shotgun. and we shall have
them at least under our control.
They can be driven away from the
cities if their nests are demolished
rs soon as made, and if all the bird |
houses are removed. A careful use
ofspoison might also work with adj
vantage, and in the large parks the
shot gun in the hands of competent
men, could be brought into use.
