STRAIGHT TO THE HYDRANT.
How the Fire Engine Crew Manage
to Go Direct to the Right one.


To the bystander who sees a fire engine
come dashing up to a hydrant it might
easily seem, from his confident manner
of approach, as though the driver had
known from the start just what hydrant
he was to take and had been all the
time making for that particular one. AS
a matter of fact, the driver starts out of
the engine house without knowing what
hydrant he is to take, and he may not
know until he is within a few seconds
drive of it. Stili there Is never a mo-
ment's uncertainty about the engines
movements and 1t never slows down; 1t
goes straight for the hydrant without
the slightest delay. In answering ten
calls from the same station an engine
may take as many different hydrants;
but 1t goes to the right hydrant every
time, and the manner of determining
what hydrant 1t shall take Is extremely
Every engine hooks up at every alarm.
On first alarms 1t goes out only to fires
within It's, own district. When an alarm
is sounded the horses rush. to the engine,
a catch or two are snapped, and the
team stands hooked UP ready 10 start;
it is all the work of a very few seconds.
But the harness is stul held by the
hanger from which 1t is suspended, not
to let 90 unless the call is one which the
engine answers. The driver is up. With
the last stroke, If II calls TINS engine, the
captain says Co" Just a slight witch
of the reins frees the harness from the
hanger and ii drops into place on the
horses backs. If It is in winter the door
is thrown open; If summer the chain Is
dropped and away goes the engine, with
the horses on the gallop, IN the direction
of the station whence the alarm has come,
but without anybody knowing what n.y.
drant it is to take.
The only man besides the driver who
rides on the engine Is the captain Of the
company or the officer in charge; he rides
standing on the rear of the engine. All
the rest of the company ride on the ten
der. Two blocks away from the signal
box the captain jumps to the ground and
runs ahead of the engine to locate the
fire He may find 1t before he comes to
the box or ii may be revealed by flames
or smoke, or, perhaps, by the presence Of
people standing in front of the building
in which the fire Is or by persons in the
building itself. 1t may be that there are
no such Indications that there are no
visible indications whatever. But almost
invariably the policeman or whoever gives
the alarm remains standing by the box IN
til the first engines comes up He knows
Just where the fire is, and from him, in
case he has not discovered It himself, the
captain learns its location in an exceed
ing brief space of time.
It may be around the corner. A wave Of
the captains hand, as he starts on again,
IS enough for the driver, who has all the
time kept coming. Then Is the time when
the bystanders in the side street might
easily imagine that the driver had known
from the start Just what hydrant he was

TOO MANY AT FITZGERALD.
Colonization should Be on Basis OF
Larger Tracts of Land.

Mr.. ]. o. Curry of Chicago, who was
land agent for the company that founded
the Fitzgerald colony, is in the city.
Mr.. Curry is now engaged in looking into
the matter Of establishing another col
ony in Southern Georgia, and considera-
bic progress has been made in this di-
rection, though the plans have not as
yet taken any definite shape.
A number of Chicago capitalists and
gentlemen living in that section of the
northwest are engaged in the work, and
with the experience of the Fitzgerald col
ony before them, they can no doubt es-
tablish a colony on a better and stronger
basis.
Mr.. Curry thinks there were one or
two mistakes made in the establishment
may AFFECT number of the colonists, he
does not think they will operate seri-
ously to the disadvantage of the colony
as whole.
The trouble with the colony" Mr.. cur
ry said. lis that the land has been di-
vided into portions that are too small
for some of those who have gone there to
make living from the soil. | believe
twenty acres is the largest lot that was
given or apportioned to any one. family
This brings too many people within a
small space and win make It difficult for
the farming population all to earn a live
AhOod from the soil.
This, however is not altogether dis
couraging," Mr.. Curry continued. There
will. be some who are dissatisfied, and
who will probably have to return to the
west. This will give a little more room,
and then the colony will have to expand
eventually and take in more land around
them. In this manner, 1 believe, the coll
ony will eventually work out and to the
best interests Of the great majority of its
members.
with regard to the proposed new col
ony, while we are hard at work on it,
nothing definite has been accomplished,
is in shape. I believe in Southern Geor-
gia as the place for the establishment
of these colonies, and this is where we
are going to put it when the prepare tons
are made. 1 think a colonlst should have
a least $500 in cash when he makes such
move, and there should not be so many
