both the bell for receiving the alarm,
and the strip" or device for mechanic
ally releasing the horses, which shall
describe further on.
This is the first bell to ring the
alarm, or number of the station whence
the alarm is sent; but sefore it rings
there is slight "click" heard in the
Morse instrument placed above 1t.
This might be called warning bell"
and by the ordinary listener would not
be noticed at all; but to the quick ear
of the man on watch and the equally
well-trained ear of the horses, there
needs no second stroke to tell them
that an alarm will follow. This "click"
circuit in which the station is situated.
Beside the combination-bell, or
"jokcr," there is small weight that
slides up and down brass rod. It is
held in place at the top by catch con-
nected with the hammer of the bell;
and, as this hammer draws back to
make the first stroke of the alarm, 1t
releases this weight, and the weight
slides down the rod. Being attached
by little chain to a lever projecting
from the side of a clock hanging beside
1t, the weight, as 1t falls, pulls this
lever down and stops the clock, thus
showing at what instant the alarm
was received.
At the bottom of the rod there is a
very large lever set with n trigger-like
catch, and connected by certain mech
anism underneath the floor with the
stalls of the horses. The same falling
weight strikes the trigger also, and re-
leases the lever, and the lever in turn
releases the horses.
Above the combination Is placed
Morse instrument, sounder and key,
and beside 1t telephone to communi-
cate with headquarters or with other
companies, and also few frames con-
tanning list of stations that particular
company goes to on receiving the first,
second or third alarm.
At the other side, nearly over the
desk, is placed the big gong, twelve or
fifteen inches in diameter, and very
loud-sounding. This begins to strike
about when the smaller one gets
through, and should the man on watch
haze failed to count the number of the
station on the Joker" he will have no
difficulty in getting the number from
the big gong, for 1t strikes slowly, that
is, slowly in comparison with the
"joker," which rings the number out
very fast. The large gong is very loud,
and can be heard block away. The
company receives four rounds on the
small bell and two on the big bell; or,
more correctly speaking, the number
OF the station is rung four times on
the Joker" and twice on the big
gong. But It is rarely that the firemen
have to wait to get the signal from the
latter, for before the small bell has
ratified off It's four rounds the engine
hnsrolled out of the house and they
are ON the way to the fire.-From
Fighting Fire." by c. T. Hill, in
st. Nicholas.

IN EMBRYO.

When you get home cut a small notch
down in the stem, as shown by the
dotted lines in the sketch above. This
will be the pigs mouth and should be
colored red. (Red ink will do). After
his mouth has been properly cut Mr..
Pig should be laid square on his back
and four matches or small sticks Of
wood should be sharply thrust through
the skin and well into the lemon at or
near the places indicated by the rings
and points in the sketch. The matches
or sticks should stand out at an angle
so Mr.. Pig won't fall over, and if he is
to be allowed to sit down put the hind
legs deep in, something like this:
The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1895-01-26

Pigs like to sit down, and they usual
~ do after eating; SO it is just as well
to make the pig repose in this comfort
able manner at the start. Now ask
mamma for couple of black pins to be
cut in above his nose for piggy's sharp
little eyes and white out two ear
shaped pieces of thin wood, dye them
with pink on the inside with paint or
red ink, and press them in over the
eyes so they will 'lop" or hang little.
Now tic small piece of grayish brown
string about the head of pin and drive
it, head and all, in through poor piggy's
skin where his tail belongs. You can
then cut the string off to leave his pig
ship with tail of an inch or SO in
length.
1t is really of little importance where
you keep this kind of pig, and pigs
themselves don't seem to be very par
ticular where they are kept if they only
have enough to eat. You can make
small pen of one of papa's cigar boxes,
and / will show you how to hang
the door and fasten it so Mr.. Pig can't
get out unless you open the gate for
him.
The inside measurements of the box
should be by 3 by inches,
though some pigs like large pen, and
great deal depends upon how often
you let your pigs out. When you have
made your pen take three pins and cut
the heads OFF in such way as to leave
point, with an old pair of shears or
file, and then bend them carefully into
long, slender ~" for staples. Now
cut a piece from the cigar box cover
qlite as long as the pen is wide and
about an inch wide itself, the grain OF
the wood running with the length.
This is for the gate. Make a notch in
the center of one end for the latch.
Now for hanging the gate, which is
the incest part of the whole job and
must be done very carefully. The first
thing to do is to hammer down the
heads of two pins so they will pass
through the staples. When they are
Just righ.>lrive one into the lower edge
of the gace, close to the opposite end
from the latch. If you don't put it
very near the edge the gate will bind"
it won't openly freely. Now put the
other pin in the upper edge, directly
opposite the lower pin. Then lay the
house on its back, the open side up, and
place the gate in the position you want

SUBMARINE CABLES.
The Circle OF the Earth Has Almost Been
COMPLETED.

q
Completed.
There are now l2 transatlantic ca
bles connecting Europe with Canada
and the United States, and steps have
been taken to lay a cable across the
Pacific from British Columbia to Aus
tralasia by way of the Fiji islands.
The circle of the earth will then be
completed, but not so directly as it
would be by cable from America to
Japan.
There are now 1872, 900 miles of sub
marine cable, in round numbers, Of
which 10 per cent. have been supplied
by various governments and the rest
by private enterprise. They connect
into one system over 100000 miles of
land wires, ramifying in different coun-
tries. The cables have cost about f40,-
600, 900 and the land lines R65, 200, 600,
but the money has baen well spent, for
the benefits of the telegraph are meal
culable.

arms, as in 1881, when the British

inch from the bottom of the pen so
piggy can't get under it. Now very
carefully drive two of your staples into

pins. Don't drive them too far at first.
Try your gate to see II it swings. A
