CHEMICAL FIRE ENGINES.

They Have Done Much to Reduce the Loss
From Water at Fires.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill writes of 1.-THE
Fire PATROL In st. Nicholas, the final
paper in his series on the New York fire
department Mr. Hill says:
The chemical engine, used consid-
erably in the fire departments of several
cities, has aided materially in lowering
the loss by water at small fires. The
preparation carried in the tanks Of these
engines has a double advantage-not
only does it extinguish large body Of
fire with the use Of a small amount Of
water, but the liquid itself evaporates
quickly, leaving very little drip" in
the apartments or floors underneath the
fire.
The tanks Of these engines are charg-
ed with solution of bicarbonate of So
da (baking soda) and water, with q
small cylinder of sulphuric acid sus-
pended at the top When the tank is in
verified, this acid is emptied into the
soda and water, and the mixture at
once generates carbonic acid gas at q
great pressure Charging the liquid
with this gas gives it the necessary pres
sure to drive it considerable distance.
The hose is coiled around reel on top
OF the engine, and always connected
with the tanks, 30 when the firemen ar
rive at fire all they have to do is to
run off as much hose as they need, dash
up stairs with the line, give the order
to dump" one of the tanks (there are
two, carrying go gallons each), and they
are all ready to go to work The chem
ical engine has extinguished more than
% fires of considerable size since it has
been in service in the New York depart
ment, little over year 1t is station
ed on the upper west side of the city,
where there are great number Of
dwellings and flats, and it has aided
materially in keeping down the fire
losses in that part of New York

COAL AND IRON.
The Important Relationship of These Two
Valuable Minerals.


Statistics show that, whereas Great
Britain in 1910 produced rs per cent Of
the worlds supply of coal. at the pres
ent time it produces only "a per cent
Atlantic liners no longer carry coal
from Great Britain for the return jour
ney. They now take in American coal,
and no less than 1900, 900 tons of
American coal were thus consumed in
1895 The condition of the iron manu-
featuring industries has always exer-
cised most important influence on the
production of coal, SO that large de-
mand for iron draws with it large de-
mand for mineral fuel. During the last
% years the worlds production of pig
iron has increased from $4,000, 900 to
26, 900, 900 tons, but the share taken by
Great Britain has fallen from 49, per
cent to 80 per cent, while that of the
United States has increased from IA.
per cent to 26.2 per cent, that of Ger
many from liza per cent to 81 per
cent, and that of Russia from per cent
to A. per cent Indeed, iron is now be-
ing imported from the United States
into this country, and, incredible as it
may seem, the railway station at Mid
dlesbrough, the center of the iron trade,
is built of iron brought from Belgium
Surely, then, the author of "Our Coal
Resources at the Close of the Nine
teenth Century" is hardly right in
thinking that British coal and iron still
hold their own. He argues that other
countries of Europe are exhausting their
coal supplies just as Great Britain is,
yet the figures he gives show that Ger
many has in reserve, within depth Of
5000 feet, 100, 900, 900, 900 tons of coal
as compared with our England 81
1888, 900. 900 tons within a depth of
1000 feet And this estimate does not
include brown coal, of which Germany
raises $4,000, 900 tons annually.-Na-

Mrs Isabel @. Barrows, in an article
in the New York Independent on "Plain
Life and High Thought" as exemplifed
at Leipsic university, says:
Leipsic is one of the great flower
marts Of Europe. 1t is a joysome sight
to go through the early morning market
and see the flowers of all kinds in masses
beyond conception. There is no student
30 poor that he cannot add to the beauty
of his room the charm of flower when
for Q cents he can have big bunch of
mignonette This very morning the
expenditure of "a cents gave one literal
ly an armful of mignonette, large and
fragrant; forgetmenots, bluer than the
sky of rather gray Leipsic; great golden
buttercups like those that grow ON the up
land meadows of the Rigi; kornblumen,
the old emperor's favorite flower, and
lilies of the valley in profusion. Plain
living, amid flowers, with music, ma
ture and friendship at command, may
easily lead to high thinking, and the
student who is here to strive for ac-
quirement of truth may well scorn the
trappings of wealth, since wealth is not
needed to command the highest and
best

oniics" for October by Professor F. w.
Taussig, of Harvard.
Professor Taussig, as is we'll known, is
opposed to the principle of protection as it
has been applied, with few interruptions,
for 1903 years in the United States In other
words, his economic sympathies are Eng
lish rather than American. But he is
frank enough, for instance. to remind the
headlong newspapers and politicians that
have been making such a hubbub over
the sugar schedule of the new law that it
"leaves as protection for the domestic re-
fner-name1y, for the Sugar Trust AN
additional or preferential duty of & cent,
precisely the differential given by the act
of 1894" or. in other words, the German
Wilson tariff
Professor Taussig acknowledges that
"as it happens, the prospects for the next
few years warrant the expectation that the
act of 1897 will so raise the revenue as to
enable the expenditures to be met, and
will remove for the time being that COM
plication in the general situation. The
enormous exports of 1896 and 1897, fortu-
nate for the United States as were those of
1881, will sooner or later be followed
by infowing imports. How large the in
flowing stream will be, what proportion of
dutiable and non-dutiable imports it will
contain, must be uncertain. The only
thing that can be predicted is that-once
the heavy imports brought in before the
set are out of the way-imports and rev.
enue will rise for the next two or three
years. For while the Treasury is likely
to be unembarrassed, and will have COM
paratively easy task in performing its dou-
BILE duties of paying the expenses of the
government and of maintaining the solid
ity of the circulating medium. "-BostOn

ON THE TRAIL OF A GHOST.
A Specimen Of the Letters Sent to the
London Tfmee.

Specimen OF the Letters Sent to the
London Times.
The following letter to the London
Times tells rather interesting expe-
Renee and is good illustration of the
way Englishmen write to that paper
about all sorts of topics:
To the Editor of The Times:
SRA curious parallel to your correspond
emit Mr.. Wicks' exorcism of the ghost that
haunted the house at Esher occurred some few
years ago in an old Oxfordshire mansion, of
which friends Of my own had recently become
possessed Soon after the new owners arrival
the grewsome discovery was made that on the
upper floor, containing the servants apart
ments and the children's nurseries, there was
chamber which had loSs been known "a
haunted and in which no one could ever be in
duced to sleep. By daylight it was a pleasant,
sunny room, but to be in it at night, so every
occupant declared, was enough to chill the very
marrow in ones bones. No sooner was the
house all quiet, doors and windows shut and
midnight near Ginning from the church tower,
then strange sounds, heard nowhere else, be-
gan to fill the haunted room. Weird music
broke the silence, now sweet and soft and love-
ly as dream, then swelling into wild confu-
sion, then dying away in long drawn means Of
infinite distress. Nothing was ever seem but
there was no delusion as to the sounds It was
no use putting a new servant ignorant of the
facts, to sleep there. Midnight was sure to
make the secret known. Those means, as of a
soul in pain, so 1t was steadily affirmed, pro
ceeded from no human visitant The room
was haunted and 1t was not to be expected
that any one would sleep in company with
ghost.
My friend, the mistress Of the house. was
woman of great nerve and common sense She
needed the room for household use and she re-
solved to lay the ghost. Accordingly she had
1t made ready for occupation and after care
ful examination of everything in the apart
ment prepared to spend the night in it herself.
The tales were quite true. Toward midnight.
when all was still, the ghostly music began to
culver through the silence, sweet and wild and
exquisitely sad. My friend listened, not quite
guiltless perhaps of tremors. Then she rose
and examined the room carefully afresh. Pres
emily 1t struck her that the sounds proceeded
from one corner Of the floor. She lifted the
rug, put her ear down and found it to be the
case She had located the ghost, if it was not
laid. Next morning a carpenter was sent for
the boards were taken up and Immediately be-
meath there was revealed perfect plexus of
bell wires, which had been conducted by this
route to the different parts Of the house. When
doors and windows were all closed and every.
thing still at night, the wind, finding its way
by whff channel it could, turned this laby.
rinth OF wires into an seolian harp, whence
issued the mysterious sounds by which suc
cessive households had been scared. The wires
were adjusted, the chinks and crannies closed
up, the ghost was laid and the haunted room
has been comfortably Occunied evar aipoa
