that the master he loved All who loved
him had left him, but he had been told
to watch the stick, an with the saddest

HOW A FIRE is FOUGHT.

Interesting Details About the Location
of Engines, Lines of Hose, Etc.
Chief Swenie is a fire fighting
strategist. When his flaming foe in
vites battle he employs all the arts of
war to gain the victory. Sometimes
he begins the battle by massing his
forces at one point and charging
directly upon the enemy, Again he
throws out a ski1mish line or shifts
his position so as to take his opponent
upon the flank. If necessary he calls
up his reserves and at times is i'll con
slant communication with his chiefs
of battalions and captains Of com
panies.
There is this difference, however,
between fighting fire and fighting
armies. Commanders of opposing
armies are fully informed Of each
others movements days before the
meeting and draw up their plans OF
battle accordingly. Not so with
Chief Swenie. Fires advance under
cover, every move hid from view,
until they are ready for the fight;
then comes the burst of smoke, the
volley of flame and the chief is sud
denly called upon to give battle.
Plan and execution with him must
be simultaneous; he must think, and
act while thinking. Yet he has his
plan of battle complete in every de-
tail, though it is made up and placed
on paper after the battle has been
fought.
The captain of every engine com
pany makes a report Of the tire-as
far as his company is concerned-to
his chief of battalion. to be forwarded
to Chief Swenie. That report gives
the time the alarm was received, the
fireplug to which the engine was
connected, the direction and the lead
of the line of hose and any changes
in the position of the engine, together
with other information, such as
amount of water pressure secured,
accidents, incidents, etc. All these
data are handed an expert drafts
man, who proceeds to draw an ac-
curate plan Of the fire.
He first obtains from the map de-
partment an authentic plan of the
locality, giving the streets, alleys,
courts. building or buildings affected
by the flames, whether destroyed or
merely scorched, and adjacent build
ings. The water department fur
nishes maps showing location of fire
plugs and cisterns and size of water
pipe, mains or branches in the streets.
If necessary the scene of the fire is
visited and personal investigation
gives him still further information.
With all this material the plan of
battle is depicted. Every piece of
apparatus which had anything to do
with the fire is located, and the lines
of hose leading to the fire are shown
by lines reaching from the engine to
the place occupied by the pipemen.
Where the line runs through a build
ing the floor to which the lead was
carried and from which the stream
was thrown is properly designated.

THE SEA SONG.

There is no song unto the sea unknown,
With wild dance melodies and laughter low.
Its happy ripples frolic to and fro;
With passionate ~lovelays breathed in under
tone,
II woos the quiet night; with wailing moan.
It sobs to clouded skies its tale Of woe:
With triumph song as DER some vanquished
foe,
II passes on with foamy locks wind blown. "
And dirges to the dying ear it brings,
And reouims chanted soft of waves that
weep,
And strange dead marches, as with muir
fled drums, -.
It beats on lonely shores; and when night
comes,
A tender, grooming lullaby it sings,
Rocking its own unto eternal sleep:
