parently behind its great wall; with its
Norman castle and guild hail of the fif-
teenth century; with its Roman gates and
the long, low streets of quaint houses.
Are we in England or in medieval Italy !?
AS we stand on the bridge at the river and
see over the irregular roofs and the cas-
tellated gates and strongholds the
misty silhouette of Y York Cathedral against
the delicate wintry sky we wonder with
unavailing regret why in the rapid march
OF conquest this nineteenth century of
ours cannot create many beautiful
towns, with beauty that is natural
and simple as well as pictur-
esque. Gradually in almost all the
European capitals, the streets of dark,
quaint houses, with their gables and orna-
mented windows jutting out over the
streets, with their richly decorated
facades, give way to the big, square
block OF flats, pompous, clean, and ugly
enough to make one weep. How much
will the generation that will live at the
close OF the twentieth century see of that
old time world? 1t is pleasant to feel that
we are still capable of thrill; of touch
OF that deep enthusiasm that comes with
sudden unexpected pleasure.
As we come through .'Mickle Gate"-de-
lightful name-and pass along the street
by the river, that is like sheet OF silver
gray satin, we come to the ruins of the ex-
quisite nunnery 81. Mary's Abbey. That
is fine preparatory thrill that we expert
ence. The trees seem to hold it in, to
support the beautiful walls, with their
eyeless windows. that once poured down
soft radiance of stained glass, like those
in the great Minister itself. At the corner
we come upon two men, gorgeous in scar
let coats, with silk heshings and great
cooked hats; they hold slaves IN
their hands, like drum-major, and
as their eyelids move and one blows his
nose with an audible sound, we come to
the conclusion that they are alive-that
they are archiepiscopaI grooms and not
visions OF glory, ghosts of ancient kings.
That knowledge is a relief to our over
strained nerves, which are further startled
by rich and familiar odor, that is ex-
planned by large sign over a factory that
tumbles irregular roofs down to the river
and that tells US that we are in the very
neighborhood, almost within the sacred
precincts, l.. which Rountree's chocolate
is manufactured. We fortify our spirits
with several penny packages, and then we
wander on aimlessly and find ourselves in
long, narrow street called Stone Gate.
AT the top of the long, low vista there is
the sight that makes the heart to beatl
1t is the south front of the cathedral, with
the green, formerly the Arch hbIshop's, gar
den, and the shattered palace behind it.

lofty roof and the great square battle

the side deepest in the water exert tre-
mendous power to restore the craft to a
level. 1t would be as though man were
to iurch to one side and receive the sup
port of prop. When the vessel pitches
there is no loss of motion. When the
stern screws are idle and in air for mo-
ment the screws In the bow are workin &
as usual and exerting their tremendous

back to its proper equilibrium.
Ocean greyhounds which at present can
attain speed of twenty knots an hour
under steam can, when fitted with the
Painton system of motors. easily attain a
speed of forty aud more knoIs an hour,
which is in reality faster than the time
made by an ordinary railroad train.
With the success of the Painton boat
begins new era in maritime history. 1t
means that the ocean will be robbed OF
much of its peril. 1t places the con-
tinental journey in the same category

tain or lake summer resort.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

guiding his team between cars, wagons
and around street corners with an expert
ness born of long practice will give place
to the coul-headed motorman sitting in
the drivers seat, increasing or reducing
speed as the occasion may warrant by the
simple turning of lever, and guiding the
apparatus in similar manner.
But associations of the past have little
to do, however, with the present work of
the fire-fghters. Their one aim is to get to
the scene of action and get their life and
property saving apparatus into position
and ready for nse in the quickest possible
manner. The delay of few minutes or
even seconds in reaching fire may mean
life or death to those imprisoned in the
upper stories OF burning building. and
even with the utmost exertions of three
powerful horses nine times out of ten
the heavy ladder truck, without which the
work of fire-fghting is severely hanGi-
capped, is the last to reach the scene. be-
cause it is SO heavy and unwieldy that
the lighter engines and hose carriages
outstripped it in the race. All this will
be changed by the new invention.
In appearance the automobile fretruck
does not differ greatly from the hook-and-
ladder truck of to-day. There is the
same arrangement of ladders along the
body of the truck, the same footboard for
the crew and the manipulation of the rear
steering gear is the same. The radical
difference is in the arrangement of the
front wheels and the drivers seat.
The motive power of this automobile is
what is known as a compressed-air gas
engine of continuous running design. 1t
is the invention OF Reuben H. Plass of sos
Lafayette avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y, and
one of its principal advantages is that it
is always ready for use. All that is neces-
sary is for the motorman to take his seat
and move the operating lever.
The engine which furnishes the motive
power is placed just above the front axle
and directly beneath the drivers seat. A
system of cogwheels and levers act directly
between the engine and the front wheels
in fact, the entire machinery, which is
very simple and consists principally of
cogwheels, is located directly in front of
the engine, almost beneath the footboard
of the apparatus.
Extending upward from the machinery
through the footboard and reaching TO a
height little above the drivers seat are
two levers which resemble those in COM
mon use on cable-cars. One of these levers
is used for the double purpose of steering
the machine and as a brake, while the
other lever controls the speed of the en-
gine. 1t can be reversed when necessary,

power capacity, the transmission of power
by steam would be at the expense of about
33 per cent loss, or $500 horsepower,
whereas by electricity the loss would be
only about 10 per cent, or 1000 horsepower,
which is saving over steam Of 1900 horse
power. This will reduce the coal consump.
ton about % per cent, an important
economy. This with the great speed at
tanned by the new idea of the distribution
of the propellers which tend to lift the
bow of the vessel so as to reduce the fric-
ton of the water, will still further re-
duce the coal consumption to about one
half that required for the generating of
steam power. The saving by electricity
extends through every part and feature.
There is saving OF time, OF space and
cost of operation.
To illustrates: Where steamship can
now only take coal enough to carry her
from New York to Liverpool, an cleo
trically equipped vessel by the Painton
system could, with the same quantity of
coal, sail from New York to Gibraltar and
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

return to New York-three times the dis
tance. The vessel could carry a greatly
increased number of passengers and a
much larger quantity of freight. The
space now required for the vast steam
plant could BE- earning the owners of tn
vessel vast amount of money. An ocean
liner equipped with the Painton motors
can easily carry 2500 passengers IN greater
comfort and with less danger than is now
incurred on eamships.
Another feature of the Painton syste m
is the fact that the screws tend to main
tain the equilibrium of the vessel at all
times. Each screw has a distinct lifting
power. The blades turn so that the pro-
pelling force comes from below instead of
above, and as vessel lurches from one
side to another or pitches the screws on
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

account of the pitching of the vessel is
avoided. The total horsepower is dis
trlbuted throughout the entire system of
propellers, so that it would be absolutely
impossible to have more that one-quarter
of the whole power or propellers racing"
at one time.
The engines that generate the power are
not mechanically connected with the pro-
pellers, as is now the case in steam ves-
sells, but the power is transmitted by elec-
trio wires direct to motors built on
propeller shafts. The machinery is SIM
plicity itself. No betting or coupling is
required. The propeilers all work direct,
and, as before noted, they can be operated
singly or together. II one breaks down,
or two or three or any number. those that
are left can do the work. 1t would not be
possible for ali to be disabled, as is now SO
often the case with vessels equipped by
steam, leaving them foundering for days
at the mercy OF the elements.
From 1856 to $50 revolutions of the screw
per minute is about the limit Of steam
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

and in addition can be used as a supple
mentary airbrake.
The engine is so constructed that when
the driver takes his seat and grasps the
left-hand lever, the whole apparatus is
ready to start. By simply drawing the
lever toward himself the driver sets the
truck in motion. The cogs on the lever
which work the wheels fall into another
set of cogs, which work directly from the
engine and the start is made.
A most peculiar feature is found in the
fact that in order to stop the truck it is
not necessary to stop the engine. A for
ward pressure on the left-hand lever
throws the cogs out of place, and pull on
the right-hand lever applies the COM
pressed-air brakes. Should this not stop
the progress of the truck in a sufficiently
short time, the cogs can be thrown back
into place and the engine reversed and an
entire set of other brakes be applied to the
rear wheels of the truck.
Being Brooklyn man, and consequently
familiar with the many trolley accidents,
the inventor has paid especial attention
TO the fender. This is automatic and ad-
Unstable, just clearing the street, and is
designed so that any person unfortunate
enough to be caught in it will escape, at
all events, alive and with a reasonable
certainty of little injury.
The truck can be driven at a speed of
forty miles an hour if necessary, and in
order that it can travel at high rate of
speed over smooth and slippery pave
ments the tires of the wheels are rough
ened and provided, like horses hoof,
with corks or short spikes. This improve
ment has been found to be most success
ful, especially in turning sharp curves.
Another great advantage of the new in-
yention is found in the fact that the mo-
tive power being so completely under con-
troll it can be used Immediately for elevat-
Ing an extension ladder, which is of the
greatest Importance, both in the lighting
of fires and in the saving of human life.
The San Francisco call., 1897-01-03

The new automatic firetruck will be in
every way more practical and efficient
aid to 6re-fghters than Its more pic;ur-
esque predecessor, which depended upon
three well-trained horses for its motive
power.
From an artistic or sensational view
point there will, doubtless, be many per-
sons who will regret the passing of the
tire-horse. But the spirit of progress has
TO sympathy for the picturesque. This,
as well as everything else, must give way
before the march of improvement, and so
the borse's occupation is gone.
OF course the same Changing of bells will
be heard the same rush of the long red
truck through the crowded thoroughfare
will be seen and the same helmeted and
rubberciad fire-hghters recklessly riding
to victory or death on the narrow foot
board will characterize the usual confa-
grations, but there will be no horses. The
inspiring sight of re-headed driver
with loose reins and slender whip urging
his three big horses to greater speed,

old square.
Old chronicles have it that when King
Edwin of Northumbria experienced ''re-

sisted upon building church for the oc-

stone. The windows were at that time
