ANNUAL LOSS BY FIRE
Ii Has Been Very Much Reduced hv
Improved Methods of Fighting Ft,a

The annual loss by fire in the United
States amounts TO 800, ,oO0. 900. and fully
one-half of this loss is caused by the
water used in extinguishing the fires.
Before the Introduction, in 1872, of con-
trolling or shut=off nozzles used on the
fire hose, the percentage of loss by wa
ter was even greater-at least two
thirds of the total loss. Previous to the
introduction Of this mueh-needed de.
vice, there was used what was known
as an open pipe plain open nozzle,
with 70 eontriTanee for shutting off the
water. When il was necessary to shut
of. the order had 10 be passed to the
engineer, sometimes a long distance
from the fire; and unless the nozzle
could be thrust from a convenient win
dow. the water would 60 pouring out,
spreading destruction in all directions.
In small fires. especially in upstairs"
fires n private dwellings. orin business
houses stocked With perishable goods.
such as feathers. silks, etc. the unneces-
sary destruction Of property was very
great.
To-day fires are fought much more
scientifically, and with great deal
more system. than were those Of ten
or 20 years ago. and officers in com
mand of engine companies are usually
very careful not 70 use any more water
than is absolutely necessary. Nearly
every hose wagon in the New York fire
department to-day carries three sizes of
hose-fhe regulation size. 81 inches,
usedat all ordinary fires; 3-inch (known
as third alarm hose, and only used at
fires Of considerable magnitude), and
small hose carried on a reel under
the wagon. This hose is IA inches
in diameter. and very easy 10 handle.
and, on account Of the ease with which
any number Of lengths Of it can be car
ried about. il Is that oftenest used at
small fires in dwelling houses, Office
buildings and fats With a controlling
nozzle on the end. the fireman can dash
up several flights of stairs and into n
bedroom or closet. and extinguish
small fire before il has time 10 spread,
using the water only where it is abso-
lnfely needed. To drag the regulation
size lit weighs about 50 pounds to the
lenth) up and around its winding stair
ways. etc, would take much longer,
and perhaps give q fire time to get just
beyond The point Of easy control; be-
sides, when the water is finally started,
a great deal more is used by this hose
than is necessary. especially in the
case Of small fire. Ii has been prac-
ticslly demonstrated that a consider
able amount of fire can be extinguished
with a small amount Of water applied
effectively. and the use Of small hose
has done much to reduce the damage by
water et fires in dwellings and fats

His Early Life.


His Early Life.
Mr.. George H. Ycnowine contributes
4 paper Oh 1.-The Birthplace of Lincolnn
TO St. Nicholas. Mr. Ycnowine quotes
the following from an old man named
Austin Gollahcr, who went to school
with the emancipation: "Lincoln was an
unusually bright boy, and he made good
progress i'll his books-bettcr than al
most any one else i'll school-and he
studied very hard, although he was
young He would get spice wood bushes
and hack them up on IL log and put IL
few of them i'll the fire at time to
make a light for him to read his books
by 1t did not make very good light,
but 1t was all he had ut night Young
Lincoln was never good looking. He
was angular and awkward. His mother
was rather slim woman of medium
height. Tom Lincoln, his father. was
tall Abe was not very much like him,
for Tom Lincoln had fuller face and
was of q heavier build"
In answer to IL question rs to Lin
coins brothers or sisters, the old man
frightened up and said: ooh, yes, he
had sister. Her name was Sally, and
she was about my age That was one
reason why thought SO much of Abe.
But when the Llncolns moved to In
diana did not say goodby to either of
them.
Il next heard of Lincoln several
years afterward. 1t was said that he
would make rails during the summer
and thus earn money to go to school.
Then l heard no more of Lincoln until
he was nominated for president. told
the boys that no matter what happened
was going to vote for Abe. | said I
was going to vote for him if it was tho
last act OF my life, because had played
with Inn when boy, and was glad
he had gone up i'll the world and did
vote for him" said the old man.
