TROLLEY FIRE ENGINE.
Built for Springfield, Mass, for Use
in Country Districts.
The New Plan VIII Save Much Time, to
Say Nothing of the Patience of the
Recommendations Is Very
Easily Handled.

A trolley fire engine is the latest
scheme. While it can be used in any
city where there is trolley service,
it is primarily intended for use in
suburban districts reached from cities
by trolley systems. 1t often happens
that fire breaks out in outlying dis
tricts, and the flames soon get beyond
the control of the local department and
aid has to be summoned from the near
est cities. 1t also happens at times that
the point at which the engines are most
needed is situated on some steep hill,
or in some out-of-the way place, where
it will take Il great deal of valuable time
to get Il heavy city engine 10 the spot,
if dependent only upon horses for mo-
tive power.
Rough country roads. about which
little is known by he city department
drivers, and hills have always been Il
source of dread to firemen belonging to
departments subject to calls from out
lying districts. and more than once an
engine or truck fastening from the city
in response to call for aid from some
nearby town has been ditched and rom
dered useless through bad roads and
the ignorance of the drivers concerning
the localities through which they must
necessarily go IN order to reach the
scene of the fire.
Hills and rough roads, however, are
no bar to the trolley speed, once the
rails are laid, and fire engine mounted
on truck riding over trolley rails is in
no danger of being upset by washouts
in the road, or being delayed by long
bills, or by getting on the wrong road.
The city of Springfield, Mass, was the
first to conceive of this trolley service
in connection with the fire department,
and an order was placed for a fire en-
gine which could be mounted at a mo-
ment's notice upon truck and run out
over the trolley lines to any point
reached by that system.
In accordance with this order such an
engine and truck are now being con-
structed for use in and around Spring

TIE PEoPLE,s LAMps.

Don't forget that the vote for SIS, 5,O9O
bonds to enlarge the electric light
plant will not increase the taxes. The
city has been paying off the electric
light debt at the rate of about $4,000 per
year and the money to pay the last
bond is now in the treasury. So VIC
can go right along and pay $1,000 per
year on the new loan of S15, 600 without
increasing the tax levy. The most
satisfactory thing the city owns is the
electric light plant 1t was large
enough until Harmar was added to
Marietta. That did not swamp it but
loaded the engine and boiler to their
utmost capacity. A larger engine, one
more boiler and dynamo and house
to put them in will enable the citizens
to haye more lights and keep up with
the growth of the city. S. J. II.

TROLLEY FIRE ENGINE.

field. Ihc engine itself in no materiEs
respect differs from any other fire
| engine, it being only in the method os
carrying it over the trolley system that
its unique features are apparent. 1t
is constructed with the greatest sim
plicity consistent with strength and
rapidity of handling. Two trucks,
such as are in common use on every
trolley system, are fitted with motors
and pair of carrying beams.
These carrying beams are simply two
parallel beams of steel, which rest on
supporters raised slightly above the
body of the trucks. The beams are
placed so that they are just outside the
wheels of the engine, thus giving the
apparatus room to be backed into place
between them.
These beams run just beneath the
hubs of the engine wheels, and in them
are semi-circular rests for the hubs to
fit into. The forward ends of the beams
are joined so that they may be let down
in the form of an adjustable leg, the oh.
iect of which is to support the carrying
beams when the front truck is with.
drawn.
When there is call for an engine to
some distant locality through which
runs trolley line, the pins which at
tach the carrying beams to the front
truck are withdrawn, the front truck
rolled out of the way, and the carrying
beams separated, after which the adj
Unstable legs are dropped to support
the beams and the engine backed into
place. The forward truck is then run
into place and the beams returned to
their proper position, the hubs of the
engine being at the same time placed
within the slings. After the coupling
pins are in position the engine is raised
by means Of four Norton jacks to N
height of four iIches above the level of
the tracks, and is then ready to start
over the trolley line.
The trucks arc fitted with their own
motors and can carry the engine, or the
whole affair may be attached to an or
dinary trolley caror engine. Each truck
Is braked by itsef, and every precau-
tion is taken to avoid the possibility of
accident
Once near the s,ene of the fire il is
the work of but a Few seconds to lower
the engine to the ground by means of
the jacks, uncouIle the front truck,
drop the carrying beams, and run the
engine out into position. Should the
trolley line not run sufficiently near the
fire to allow the engine to be used with
effect, horses are easily obtainable
from the local department.

in this county and throughout the
State as Aunt Katie Fay, now lies
very low in hospital at Toledo from
an operation performed there for her
relief, but her ailment was found to be
enlargement of the spleen for which
nothing could be done She has many
friends in Ohio who will be panied to
hear of her condition. They all know
her as the founder of Children's Homes

Since the invention of long-range rife
guns the fortress of Gibraltar, in every
sense Of the word, controls the entrance
to the Mediterranean, for at the mar
rowest part of the strait there are only
18 miles between Europe and Africa,
and the guns OF the fortress can deliver
shots and sells if necessary on the
African shore. The military authori-
ties of Gibraltar, however, do not de-
pend upon the guns of the for'tifica-
tions for blocking the Mediterranean,
for at Gibraltar there is always sta
toned feet of powerful ships which
can be called into service TO assist IN
defending the strait against the naval
forces Of a foreign power.

GRACo-EGYPTIAN PAINTING.
Process by which Very Remarkable Per-
traits Were Done.

Process by which Very Remarkable Pcr-
traits Were Done.
The remarkable series of portraits
found in Egypt are described in the
Monthly illustrator and the methods
the old artists employed.
The methods of these ancient days
were totally different from those of the
present day and were evidently vastly
more durable. Panels of wood were
used to paint on-sycamore and cypress
also panels of papier mache, and oc-
casionally they were formed by gluing
three thicknesses of canvas together.
These panels were usually about IA
inches long by inches wide. The
artist used liquid wax instead of oil to
mix the colors, which were made not
from vegetable, but from mineral sub
stances, and were of marvellous bril-
hancy and permanence-blue pow
dcred laps lazuli, green malachite, red
oxide of iron. etc. The colors were laid
on in patches, somewhat after the fash
ion Of mosaic, and afterwards blended
with an instrument called the cestrum,
which appears to have been a lancet
shaped spatula, long-handled, with at
one end u curved point, at the other a
finely dentated edge. With the toothed
edge the wax could be equalized and
smoothed, while the point was used for
placing high lights, marking lips, eye
brows, etc.
The final process, which gives the
name encaustic to this kind of paint
ing, was the burning in of the colors.
This was done by the application of q
heated surface to the panel, though
Georg Ebers believes that in Egypt the
heat of the sun was probably all that
was needed to complete the artists
work

VIVA. q. Woudford.

Wm. G. Woodford was born in Water
town, Ohio, February 2nl, ,ISll, and was
sG years old, lacking five days. He was
the youngest son of William Woodford
who settled in Watertown, emigrating
from Connecticut in 1877. The deceased
married Sophia Shields September27th,
1882 To them were born nine chill
dreu, four Of whom survive. Mr.
Woodford was well known throughout
the county as Il business man. He was
always foremost in any public improve
ment in our vicinity He was u liberal
giver in enterprises for the benefit of
our community. AS a merchant in our
village he was well known for many
years. lie was very active in the
GAINESVILLE and Ohio River Railroad en-
terprise, which has been a great sue
cess and benefit to the people of this
vicinity. His last undertaking was
the BLACK Diamond Railroad" which
was a disastrous failure, Mr. Wood
ford was one Of the main builders and
supporters of the Universalist church
of this place, but never united with the
church, claiming he was not good
enough to be a church member there
fore never desired TO use the church for
cloak. But he recognized the value
of christian church by helping to
maintain the same both by his pres
ence and financial support The fun
eral was from the Universalist church
Sunday at one o'clock. The sermon
was preached by the pastor, Rev, j. r.
Carpenter. 1t was probably the larg-
est funeral ever held in this vicinity

"Oh, my; oh, my; do not say that"
pleaded the blind man. "I'm poor;
you'll admit that, won'tyou?"
"Yes; think you are"
And blind, too; isn't that SOP"
"Yes, you are both poor and blind"
"Then hand over the money, please"
demanded the man, because under the
law I come under both conditions"
But the clerk shook his head in the
negative.
You know well enough why you
can't get the money" he said, "the re-
port against you reads that you are not

The claim is made for Lincoln }.
Carter's new play THE Tornado" that
its realisms are of such an imposing
nature that even the pictorial matter
used in advertising the play do not do
the piece justice, that the scenes de-
picted by the posters are actually so
much more impressive when seen, Us
Mr. Carter presents them in his play,
that one must acknowledge that for
once the printers ink has not overdonc
things. This, Of course is novelty in
theatrical advertising. But we prom.
ised that there should he nothing but
novelties in the Tornado" and Mr..
Carter has shown in the past that he
knows how TO ouild astonishing things
for the stage. so we win wait and see
his new play at the Auditorium on
Thursday evening, Feb, ith, before we
comment further.
