STEAM FIRE ENGINES.
The First Practical Machine Built
In 1871 at Cincinnati
How Fires We're Fought in the Good Old
Dsys-A Sixteenth Century Hand Pump
Tho Modern Water Tower and
How It Works.
Especial Cincinnati Letter. I

This is the semi-centennial year of
che steam fire engine, the first one that
was brought into use with any degree
of success having been used in New
York in 1S41. The application of steam
to the agencies of civilization soon sug-
gested its use for directing engines for
extinguishing fires. The first engine
for this purpose was built by a man
named Braithwaite in London in 1880,
who two years later built larger one
on the same plan for the king of Prus-
sia- They were of monstrous size and
tremendous weight, without the neces-
sary power, and were without practi-
cable value. After the great fire in
New York in 1885 premium was of
fered for plans Of steam fire engine,
and IN 1871 one was built by man
named Hodges. This was an improve
ment over the London invention. It
had the necessary power, but also the
cumbersome size and weight, and the
long time required in raising steam,
which allowed the fire time to exhaust
itself, rendered it Of ne practical value.
But it was steam fire engine, and was
used once at a fire, being then sold and
converted to other uses.
To Cincinnati belongs the credit of
giving the first practical demonstration
of the feasibility of this application of
steam and of making steam fire en-
gines the basis of fire department of
urequaled efficiency. The first sue
'cessful engine was built in Cincinnati
by A. B. Latta in 1852. 1t combined
power, strength, lightness and quick
steaming qualities, and some of its
principles are retained in the perfection
engines of the present day. 1t was con-
structed of stationary engine set on
wheels, a hand engine pump and a
boiler of coiled gas pipe encased in

water was thrown a distance of lT6
feet. A larger one was Immediately
built on the same plan, capable of
throwing six streams at once, and was
self-propelling, horses being used only
to guide it. The day of the competitive

of the Queen City, and its triumph was

Toques or turbans of cloth or velvet
trimmed with fur tails of either sable or

in fleur-de-lis shape, are particularly
fashionable.
Russian styles and effects prevail this
season. A large proportion of the inn

cloak costumes, redingotes and fur Dor

Princess gowns of green or black silk
with large ocean wave strips have cloth

back and as sleeves, while others have
a corselet or peasant bodice of cloth
edged narrowly with fur.

garnitures and are often seen in comb

A pretty theater waist is made of black
