THE FIRST STEAM FIRE ENGINES.
What the Late Nehemiah s. Bean Did
to Improve Them.

The announcement of the death of Ne
hemiah s. Bean, the venerable manufac-
turer OF Manchester, N H., Is coupled in
most or the press notices with a statement
that he constructed the first steam fire en-
glne. Probably no man had been more
honorably or more prominently associated
with the manufacture of steam fire en-
gines than the late Mr.. Bean. He WAS
master of his business. and strict integrity
might have been said, no doubt, that when
he built his first engine Ii was the best
that had been constructed But it was not
the first by number of years. He sim
ply took an advanced step along a path
that had been previously clearly marked
out. The claim Is not made that Mr. Bean
built his first engine until 1878. This was
the Lawrence. intended for TIE city of
Boston. But Boston already had a steam
Miles Greenwood, built by chief engineer
of Cincinnati of that name. She was put
in service in the city of Cincinnati as
much as FIVE years before the Lawrence
was built, and purchased later by Boston.
Nearly contemporary with the Miles
Greenwood were the Young Merchant of
New York. the latter built by man
named Ericsson, probably the John Erics-
son of monitor fame, for as far back as
1910 he was awarded the Mechanics InSti-
tute medal in New York for his model of
a steam fire engine. About 1852 Cataract

GOOD CHANCE FOR WOMEN.
Any One who Can Cook DeIicacics for

New York Press.
That there is a good field for women in
providing delicacies for sick people who
have not much money is evident to any
one who has examined the workings OF
the one establishment in the country
where such things can be purchased by
those who can afford TO pay for them.
This Is known as the Home Bureau. and
the prices range from a dollar for quart
of beef tea to 30 cents for oatmeal caudle.
These prices are too high for poor fam
lies. but the bureau suggests that the idea
could be carried out en- a cheaper scale
and prove blessing to thousands There
are reduced gentiewomel and others in
this city who cook well and who might
provide all kinds of soups. meats and 9TH
er delicacies that are worth their weight

The bureau already in existence has been
doing excellent work for five years.
Things are sent by ii to many out-of-town
places. such as Newport and other sum-
mer resorts. orders are even received
from Europe for chicken, clam juice cake
and even bread. The cooks are famous
for their skill in preparing food so that IL
will please the capricious aDDetites OF In
valids, and many Americans who happen
to be in Europe feel that they cannot be
properly served by any one save their
home purveyors.
