do, and that IL, to b given the num-
Der Of q box, and then tell Its exact lo-
cation and what engines will respond
to the alarm from 1t. Time and again,
when In an enginehouse, this test has
been made, and young Hahn could
never be deceived. He keeps posted en
every new box. In his room he has
fixed up several wires and gongs, and
ofen enjoys himself In practising on
them. So far has his fire department
proclivitles gone that 1t IL his great de-
sire to have Z wire run to his houee
