A New Horse persuader

Mr.. Charles p. French. engineman of Cas-
co 5. has added another to the long list of
practical inventions that have contributed to
making things easier at the central fire sta
tion. For some time the off horse of the pair
that draw the engine to fires has been addict
ed to the habit of rubbing his nose up and
down the door of his stall, rafting his feed
box and doing various other things that
were calculated to annoy the men in the
house especially during the night. Under
the old arrangement it could not be helped
very well. but Mr.. French's new idea does
away with all trouble. He has arranged a
brass bolt and staple on the wall Of the
stall which are connected to the door, When
the door is shut the bride rein of the horse
is held fast and far enough from the door to
keep him away from it. When the door dies
open upon the sounding of the alarm the bolt
is drawn, the bridle-rein drops and the horse
goes for his place under the harness.
