The tardiness exhibited by the Brooklyn
fire brigade recently in handling the fire in
the big Smith-Gray building suggests that
more success would be attained in dealing
with large confagrations if what might be
called fire strategy were made a matter Of
systematic study. AN important innova-
tion in this direction is due to Chief
Swenie, Of the Chicago fire brigade. After
any important fire map is drawn of the
district wherein the battle has been
fought. This map is accurately
laid out with streets, alleys, buildings, fire
plugs, cisterns, size Of water mains, etc ,and
these indications are supplemented by
others representing the location of the fire
engines called to the scene, and the manner
in which they delivered their streams upon
the burning area. The chief thus has be-
fore him the plan Of the campaign, and not
only can he fight the battle over again, but
he can derive every time great many use

A Novel Signaling Apparatus.

The water supply of the city of Coving-
ton, KY, is derived from the Ohio river,
whence it is pumped to reservoirs. From
there it passes by gravity through some
eight miles of pipe to the city. As there is
but single pipe line, it is especially neces-
sary that the strlctest watchfulness should
be exercised for the prevention or prompt
stoppage of leaks. In order to increase the
efficiency of this supervision signal sys-
tenn has been devised, consisting Of tele-
graph wire strung on poles, and signal
boxes, which will be located in farmhouses,
each having numbers. A card of instrnc-
tion will be placed beside each box, with,
for instance, the following code of signals:
One ring, land slide; two rings, small
leak; three rings, large leak; more than
three rings serious break requiring imme-
diate attention. In the event of q serious
mishap the men at the pumping station will
instantly shut off the supply and men be dis
patched for repairing.

WRITTEN FOB THE DISPATCH

WRITTEN FOB THE DrsPArcst
Some time ago the writer had the GOOD
fortune to spend several months among the
population of the Russian districts now
smitten with famine. The population is
made up of four distinct nationalities, and
various types, of which the patient and long
suffering Slav peasant, the orthodox Mouiik,
Is by far the more numerous and Important
element. The Moujiks are the children of
the Russian soil, the mainstay of Church
and State, those twin autocracies of secular
and religious power. They represent the
extreme limit of human simplicity and good
nature.
Ordinarily, the district now smitten with
famine resembles the rolling prairies of IIli-
nois and in parts the forest tracts of Miehi-
gan or Northern Indiana, with rye, oats
and potatoes as the chief products of the
soil, however, instead of maize. A novel
feature to the American is the numerous
tracts of artificial forests of pine or birch,
with the trees planted in straight rows.
There are no separate .farmsteads, the popu-
lation living in villages, which are small
