MORE REST FOR FIREMEN.
Commits sioper wight's Forethought
Evolves a New system of Ala rms.

Commis sioper wight's Forethought
Evolves a New system of Ala rms.
Commissioner Wight has decided to in.
s.itute change in the method Of receiving
alarms at the fire engine houses.
At present when there Is fire tie alarm
is sounded in all the houses and themen are
required 10 keep themselves and the APP
paratlS in readiness for tw enty minutes, no
matter there the fire may be. IL the fire
freaks uIt at night the men and horses are
awak ened by the alarm, and their st Is
broken.
Thus, though only two or three OF the
COMPANIES may lie required in most in
stances 10 turn out, rtheless every man
and horse in the department is called up
by each alarm. To remedy this Com
missioner Wight proposes TO replace the
large gong now kept In each house by a
small tell. and to keep man On duty
constantly To watch 10.
In those houses, within W hose jurisdic-
ton a fire breaks out, the watchman viii
berequired to get out the men: at the others
no notice will be taken unless In case OF n
genera al alarm, when again those companies
affected Will be called out by the watch
man.
1t is thought that this change, which is
a most Desirable one, can be affected with
very little cost 10 the District. The chang
ing of the gongs will not be expensive.
and the new system will require no extra
men. as the privates in e aoh engine house
win be detailed in rotation for watch duty.

A Scientist Returns from Trip to a Fa-

Washington, Sept 1S.-F. w. Hodge,
of the Smithsonian institute, has Just
returned from an expedition to the En-
chanted Mesa of New Mexico, which
has excited the interest of scientists
and the daring of exploring parties. 1t
was brought into prominence a few
months ago by the expedition of Prof.
Libbey, of Princeton university, who
took rope-throwing mortars, huge
kites, balloons and tons of apparatus
to scale this hitherto inaccessible table
land.
The purpose of the Investigations has
been to determine whether the sum.
NIT of the mesa was at one time in.
habited by the prehistoric Acoma In.
dians. Prof Libbey reported no evi-
dence of early occupancy. Mr.. Hodges
explorations have brought different re.
suits, however, for after scaling the
mesa he spent some time on the sum
mit, found number of fragments oi
pottery, arrows, shell bracelets, stone
axes, etc, establishing exclusively
that the top of the mesa was at one
time inhabited
