only one in the department by the way,
a hose reel and three horses. on the
test the hose reel was taken out of the
house in 21 seconds and the engine in
rs seconds. Some changes about the
stable will be recommended by the
members of the fire department COM
mittee. The company has a neatly
fitted up meeting room and combina-
tion parlor and bunk room on the sec
ond floor. From Green Ridge the par
ty proceeded to Petersburg, where they
Inspected the quarters of the Relief
company in a building owned by
George Farber.
IS AN EXCEPTION.
The Relief is the only hose company
In the city that has two permanent
men. They are Louis Farber, the drlv-
er and Jacob Freas, hoseman. The
apparatus of the company consists of
a first-class hose wagon which Is drawn
by one of the best trained teams of
horses in the department. On the ex-
hibition test the apparatus was taken
out Of the house in seventeen and
-fourths seconds. At a special
test later the apparatus was taken out
in seventeen seconds. The Relief COM
pany owns all of the furnishings of the
house. The building is at present
lighted by kerosene oil but at a confer
ence between the owner, George Far
ber, and the fire department commit
tees yesterday he agreed to place elec-
trio lights in the building and lower
the floor. At present the driver of the
hose wagon cannot sit up straight
on the seat while the wagon Is in the
house.
The inspection ended with the EXAM
ination of the Relief quarters and the
inspecting party was then entertained
by Councilmen L. F. Wenzel.
Mayor Bailey expressed himself as
highly pleased with the inspection.
Many improvements were plainly nee
essary and should be made as soon as
possible, he said, but he was much
gratif1ed ct the excellent showing made
by the permanent men at each house.
They showed an aptitude for the work
and the discipline was excellent. Fred
Durr, chairman of the fire department
committee of select council, was also
much pleased with the condition of the
fire department as shown by the in
spection.
MR.. zEIDLER'S OPINION.
1.-THE discipline of the department is
now better than it ever was before and
I believe the department was never
near as efficient as it is today" was
the way Chairman Zeidler, of the COM
mon council fire department commit
tee, expressed himself. He said that
about 1000 feet of hose was recently
ordered, but that at least 5000 feet
more is necessary to get the depart
ment even moderately well supplied.
A great portion of that now in use is
old and rotten and unfit for use.
The apparatus of the department,
Mr. Zeider said, is in fairly good shape
but some of the wagons and hose reels
need overhauling and repaintlng. He
said they will recommend barn and
a sliding pole for the Excelsior COM
pany.

MONEY APPROPRIATED.

Building Inspector Nelson has pre-
pared plans for the structure which
cost about $4,000. Already 1900 of
that amount has been appropriated by
councils. Mr.. Nelson's idea is to erect
a frame structure that can be occupied
by the company and has planned it
in such shape that a veneering of brick
can afterwards be placed outside the
woodwork. The city engineer on Mon
day gave grade lines for the proposed
building.
After leaving Providence the inspect
ing party crossed over to Green Ridge
and viewed the premises of the Gen
\eral Phinney Engine company. The
Suilding is a two-story frame structure

The Festive Mosuuito.

This Is the season when the ferrous
mosquito gets in its deadly work. No
scientist has ever been able to discover a
single virtue in the insect, but we all
know its faults. Besides making man
kind miserable during the summer there
is every reason to believe hat they spread
yellow fever. 1t has been observed that
this dreadful fever comes with them and
departs when they go. Malaria is also
supposed to be propagated by those pests,
but this charge has not been proven.
There are about $50 species OF mosquitoes
in the world, and at least twenty one are
native to North America. New Jersey
alone has four species, one succeeding
another so that it is kept well supplied all
summer. The female does all the biting.
The male never enters the house unless
by accident.
The natural food OF the female are the
juices OF plants. 1t is not known why
she likes human blood. If she drinks her
fill once she never troubles mankind
again. When Mrs Mosquito is ready to
lay her eggs she selects some still water
near by. Here she deposits them in
boat shaped mass on the surface. She
lays about 100 at sitting.
In localities where there are sWamps or
bitches the nuisance may be mitigated by
covering he waters with petroleum. A
single drop of oil will spread over quite a
large surface, and the thinest film is said
to be death to the Larvae.

means the largest schooner that sails the

The handsome farm buildings Of Alonzo

fire started the entire set of buildings

had a narrow escape from being burned.
Little of the furniture WAS saved. The

William l.. Miles, who served as private
in Co. c, First Maine Heavy Artillery, and
who was wounded June IS, 1864, in the
battle OF Petersburg, by a bullet which
entered his left chest near the heart and
lodged in his body, was recently examined
with the X-ray at Bowdoin college, to
see il the bullet could be found. Prof.
Hutchins, after very few minutes exam
ination, located the bullet close to the
spine and opposite the inward lower
angle of the left shoulder blade. He said
it would be extremely dangerous to try to
extract it. Mr.. Miles has always been
troubled by the bullet; in fact, he has
never enjoyed good health since he re-
ceived it.

Mill had one day come into Mr.. Peacock 8

there had eXudtd from Mr. Bentham's

freezable and which he conceived might be
used for the oiling Of Chronometers which
were going into high ATTITUDES. THE less
you say about that, Mill, said Peacock,
