only few dashes of this massive stream
to effectively quench fire in the rig
ging or in the upper works of ship.
The small monitor nozzle, mounted on
the other side of the wheelhouse, has
134 finch opening, and powerful stream
can also be thrown from this, and, of
course, to much greater distance, for,
as the stream is reduced in diameter, it
can go a great deal farther.
To the outlets along the side of the
deckhouse and at the bow and stern
are attached short lengths of hose, to
fight fire at close range. The pumps
of the New Yorker are SO powerful, and
the pressure of these outlets is so great,
that it would be impossible for men to
handle these lines if there were not
some sort of machinery to aid them,
and, therefore, an appliance known as a
rail pipe" is brought into play. This is
something like big rowlock, and is set
in the gunwale in the same manner that
a rowlock is set in the raid of q row.
boat 1t is fastened beneath the rail
with a pin, and between the forks is
swung an iron connection oar-faShion,
pivoted at the sides The short length
of hose is attached to one end of this
connection. and a nozzle TO the other,
and with this device one man is able to
control and direct the heaviest stream
with ease. The monitor nozzles also
can be managed by one man each.
The freproof construction of the New
Yorker makes it possible to get very
rear a fire and deliver the powerful side
streams at short range; and, should the
heat become 80 intense that the men are
not able to stand by the rail pipes"
protecting shields arc brought into use,
behind which they can direct the
streams with comfort. These shields
slide along inside the rail. on a kind Of
railway, so they can be placed at any
part Of the boat: and there is one on
each side. They are made of two thick
nesses Of corrugated iron. with an air
space between, thus preventing the in
ner lining from becoming heated. They
are arched at the top, and in shape are
somewhat like the shields used to pro-
tect the gunners while working at the
rapid-fling guns on our modern men
of-war.
There is an opening at the bottom Of
these shields for the nozzles of the rail
pipes to project through, and an oblong
slot above for the fireman to look
through and direct the water. With the
aid of this protection for the men, and
because of her own salamander-like con-
struction, the New Yorker is able to
sail UP close to a burning vessel or pier
and deliver broadside of powerful
streams where the ordinary wooden fire
tug could not come within fighting dis
tance; and her ability TO do this, and
her immense pumps, make her without
a doubt the most complete and effective
marine fire engine ever built.

The chief parsonage interested in this

charity and is active in furthering tho

of this industry. AT the Buda-Pesth
exhibition last year much of this en-
brodery was shown and foreigners
would not believe it was the work of
ignorant, uncultured and rough peas

made and embroidered in silk, altar
cloths and all kinds of church en-
broidery, tablecloths and curtains.

FLOATING FIRE ENGINES.
Powerful and Effective Eqripment OF
Now Nnrs.s Err. Rnnfs

New NOrk's Fire Boats.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill contributes to
ST. Nicholas another paper in his series
devoted 10 New York's fire department.
The present article describes the Float
ing Fire Engines" In writing of the
New Yorker, Mr. Hill says of her equip
ment of pumps:
These pumps have a throwing ca
pacity of fully 10000 gallons of water
every minute. and under the best condi-
tions they have been known to reach
$4,000 gallons a minute-over 6.0O0 gal
Ions more than any other ireboat afoat.
The water is drawn in through the sides
of the boat, below the water line. into
what is known as the suction bay."
making an inner reservoir from which
the pumps are fed.
There are about 10000 little holes.
three-eighths inch in diameter. bored in
the sides of the boat just outside these
suction bays, and through these holes
the water is drawn in, and filtered so
that no foreign substance may get into
the pumps. From the pumps it is forced
into an air chamber, thus equalizing
a yeritable water main 10 inches in
diameter, which runs all around the
boat, between decks, and supplies the
various outlets. There are 40 of these
outlets Gncluding the four stand pipes
or monitor noz1 les), and they vary in
size from six riches in diameter down
to 21a inches (the size of the regulation
fire hoSe). Two of the monitor nozzles
are mounted aft, on top of the cabin,
and big and small one on top of the
wheelhouse. The two stand pipes aft
have 2Ha-inch MOBILES, the big one on the
wheelhouse having 31a-inch opening.
From the latter a solid 31a-inch stream
can be thrown distance of 800 feet, and
if necessary this can be increased to a
5h-inch opening, and a mighty stream
of water, having that width, can be sent
laundering out into space over 200 feet.
If you could hear this immense stream
as itpours into the bay, like n miniature
cataract, you could better appreciate
the power of this remarkable boat.
No body of fire could very long with
stand a deluge like this, and it requires

The Story of Soldier.
From the Transcript. Peoria, III.

No man is better known and liked in that
rich tier of Illinois counties, of which Peoria
is tne centre, than genial Chester 5. Harring-
ton, of Princeville, III. For many years Mr..
Harrington has travelled through the country
on profitable journeys as an itinerant mer-
chant, and everywhere he goes he is given a
hearty welcome by the people who depend
upon his visits for the purchase of the neces-
saries and some of the luxuries, of life.
Mr.. Harrington is a veteran of the war
and from this fact is made the remarkable
experience which he related at the Trans
crypt office recently. His story, telling of
the evils of which the Civil War was but
the beginning in his own, and in thousands
of other cases, was as follows:
. l served three years in the 124th Illinois,
Prison, and suffered, like many another North
