Primitive Fire Engines.

The oldest known fire engine for pump
ing water is probably the one mentioned
in the "Spiritalia' of Hero, about $50 Is. c..
This engine, it is said, was contrived with
two single acting pumps with single
beam pivotcd between the two for working
the plungcrs. The streams of water united
in n single discharge pipe and passed up a
trough having an air chamber and out of
a nozzle which might be turned in any di-
rection as desired. Fire engines appear
also to have been used extensively by the
early Romans who furthermore organized
regular fire brigadcs.
In the early part Of the sixteenth centu-
ry fire engine known rs water syr-
inge" was introduced, which in II measure
rescmblcd the modern forms of fire en-
gincs. This was mounted on wheels, and
the water was poured by levers. This form
of engine was very generally used in Ger
many. In England about the same time
large brass syringes were used. These
held several quarts Of water and were OPP
Grated by three men, two of them holding
the syringe ut each side with one hand and
directing the nozzle with the other, while
the third operated the plungcr. 1t was
necessary, after having discharged the wa
ter from the syringe, to refill it from n
well or cistcrn near the fire or from buck
cts. The syringcs were later fitted to port
able tanks of water. The first successful
fire engine was probably the Newsham en-
CINE, and this was the pioneer of manually
operated fire engines. The pumps in these
engines were built on many different de-
signs, but in most cases they were opcrat-
ed by levers. Fire engines similar in form
to the Ncwsham engine were in use up to
the year .-Philadclphi Inquirer.

ANTIQUITY.

This sloping ground is undermined
By field mice galleries winding blind,
A labyrinth like that which thirds
The Pyramids.
And here and there, from place to place,
Unseen as our strange vanished race,
The mole builds his long serpent mound
Across the ground
Ere Egypt reared her sphinx's crest,
Ere those mound builders pierced the west
The field mouse and the mole know how
To build as now.

TO CATCH A THIEF.

1t was, as said before, about six months
after had committed the dark deed when
received very troubled note from my
cousin, Dollie Leslie, urging me to go to
her at once.
AS had been kindly put in loco paren-
/ tbs, or in loco fraternis, to Dollie by her
| husband during his enforced absence, she
| having no other male relative, there was
nothing for it but for me to go Immediate
| ly. So went, and a pretty kettle of fish 1
found when l got there. 1t seems that
Mistress Dollic, never very wise, had en-
| gagged for herself companion as kind Of
solace for her husbands absence.
This companion, a Miss Lucy Firman
| by name, had decamped with Dollie's dia-
mond bracelet and n host of other trilcs
At least so my cousin declared, and had
no reason to doubt her word, for, after u
great deal of trouble, l elected the follow
ing facts:
That Dollie had never even taken the
trouble to verify her companions refer
enccs; that she had thrown herself head
long into q gushing friendship with her
new acquaintance, and that Miss Firman
had greatly admired Mrs. Leslic's jewels,
which, needless to say, had never been
properly locked up.
next questioned the servants. From
them CLEANED good bit of information.
'Nonc of them could abide her" "she
wasn't real lady, " "for her part she nev-
er could see what her mistress took such q
fancy to her for, poking, prying thing!"

rouse yourself Como now, give me an
accurate description Of Miss Firman, and
if you have such thing as photograph
Of her let me have it. 1t will be invalua-
bic to us in tracing her down"
Lucy had presented her with a photo
graph Of herself, and after some delay she
produced the aforesaid likeness. Armed
with this important aid to detection, which
I carefully placed between the leaves of my
pockctbOok, went straight off to Scotland
Yard, and there detailed the case.
