The Electric Fire Engine,

An electrical application, which is only
waiting until electricity can be as extern
sively distributed as water to be generally
adopted, is the electric fire engine. 1t is
even now being used to a limited degree.
In an experiment at the late Crystal Palace
electrical exhibition the motor was worked
on q circuit at pressure of 105 volts. With
this pressure, when running at about 450
revolutions per minute, the pump propelled
q jet of water from one-inch nozzle to .
height of 100 feet, the water pressure being
Is pounds per square inch. With two de-
livery hose pipes on at once, having nozzles
respectively one inch and seven-eighshs inch,
the motor ran at $50 revolutions per minute,
and the pressure was 45 pounds to the square
inch, the two jets rising to a height of
about 80 feet. The combination of
an electric motor and pump has
manifest advantage over the steam fire
engine, provided a supply of current is
available. In the case of the latter, it is
always necessary to keep up steam, so that
time will not be lost when an alarm is
sounded, and the fact that the motor is in
stantly ready for service as soon as cur
rent is turned on makes it obviously better
adapted to many conditions. 1t is beyond
question that the day will soon come when
the distribution of electricity. will be so
general that the pump operated by an cleo
trio motor will be the most important piece

What a pynamo-Electric Machine Is.

In reply to an inquiry from correspond
ent, the dynamo-electric machine may be
defined as a machine for converting energy
in the form of mechanical power into energy
in the form of electric currents, or vice
versa, by the operation of setting conduc-
tors Casually in the form of coils of copper
wire) to :otate in q magnetic field, or by
varying . magnetic field in the presence of
conductors. The term is also applied to q
machine BY means of which electrical en-
ergy is converted into mechanical energy by
means of magno-electric induction, in which
electric currents are produced by the mo-
tion of permanent magnets, or OF
conductors past permanent magnets.
Machines of the latter class are
called "motors," those of the former
generators The demand for informa-
tion as to the meaning of electrical terms is
rapidly increasing, and this demand has led
to the recent publication>of an electrical
dictionary which explains all the electrical
terms at present in general use This book
will be OF service to the laymen as well as to
the growing number of students who choose
electrical studies at our larger universities
and technical schools As showing the i'm
portance to which the study of electrotech-
mics is attaining, the number of students of
electrical subjects entered at Cornell Uni
versity has increased from % in 1884 to 230
in 1892; and in many other institutions the
proportionate increase is even greater.

selected and there encamp for weeks, and in
some cases for two months, or Rt least until
the rays OF Old Sol become somewhat tenn
pered with the cooling breezes Of the ap-
preaching autumn. The Monnngahela river
is fairly dotted with these camps and has
been for the past two months.
The Duauesne Club is probably on of the
largest and best equipped. This club owns
and occupies its own boathouse, a porten-
tous craft 1Oc feet in length and 25 feet wide.
The boat is built on the principle OF sum-
mer cottage, with every possible conven-
ience. First there is s. fOrecastle l5x25; then
comes the sitting room 15X25; next to this Is
the bunkroom 50x25, and the rest OF tho
boat is fitted ont as kltchen,etc. Inc punk
room contains 20 hunks. built much
on the same principle as hunks in steam
boats, only that there is more opportunity
for ventilation. there being a sliding window
alongside of each. This room is also ar
ranged so that it can be, and is, used as
dining room. Down the center is folding
table, large enough to accommodate at least
so people. This ls used when the weather Is
unfavorable. but on clear DAYS the taple Is
spread under the protecting branches OF the
many trees in the grove back OF the point
where the boat is moored. This boat is the
pronerry of the CLUB, and was built to order
by Henry Coulter the ex-champinn oal s..
man, who, by the way, is the hsherman or
the club, and who is also known as "The
Commodore"
The genial Lonny Long is the CAPTAIN of
the boat and hes a right good Captain,
too" Ther6 are c0rtaln regulations LOT Guo
government OF the boat and Captain Long
sees to it that they are rigidly enforced.
For instance, any member can retire when
he feels so inclined, and it is an ofense,
punishable by fine, for anyone to disturb
him.
The club has now been in camp for about
a month. and has gained the respect OF the
people to that extent that almost daily there
are parties made up of ladies and gentlemen
from Brownsville and other points who par
take of its hospitality.
To this club belongs the credit of captnr-
ing proba bly, the largest fish that has been
caught in the upper waters of the Mononga-
HI la. The fish is a blue cat about feet
long, weighing between 20 and 100 pounds
he fish was captured last week by Henry
Coulter, and it is still alive and will be
brought to this city and probably placed on
exhibition The story of this won 'erful
ca tch has spread throughout the country,
and farmers or ten miles around have
driven to the camp to get sight of the big
catfish. Commodore" Coulter, by system
of reasoning peculiar to himself, puts its
age at 100 wears
Among the members of the club are some
who play different musical Instruments, and
almost every evening there is an entertain
ment for visitors The center of attraction
is always Captain Lonny Long with his
banjo and funny songs.
Commodore Coulter sees to 1t that the
members as we'll as visitors get all the fish
they can eat not fish from the markets, but
fresh from the river. JAMES NJ. NELLIS.
