PARIS, Jan. 1.-THE Dreyfus affair

and threats are raging in the cafes and
among the scores of boulevard sheets
1t is regarded by impartial observers as
the most dangerous factor to the insti-

role of leader of the agitation against

ploys of appealing to the populace,
through the newspapers, in the eyes of
the most conservative, aggravates his
course by its lack Of dignity 1t is evil
dent that he, believing that the court
of cessation will decide in favor of Drey-

ANNUAL LOSS BY FIRE
It Has Been Very Much Reduced by Inn
proved Methods of Fighting Fire.

1t Has Been Very Much Reduced by Inn
proved Methods of Fighting Fire.
Mr.. Charles T. Hill, the artist,
who has been writing a series of pa.
pers for ST. Nicholas on the New
York fire department, has a final
paper on "The Fire Patrol.' Mr..
Hill says:
The annual loss by fire in the
United States amounts to 800, OOO,-
900, and fully one-half of this loss is
caused by the water used in extin-
gushing the fires. Before the in
PRODUCTION, in 1872, of controlling or
shut off MOBILES 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 much need
ed device there was used what was
known as an "open pipe" a plain
open nozzle, with no continuance for
shutting off the water When it
was necessary to shut off, the order
had to be passed to the engineer,
sometimes long distance from the
fire, and unless the nozzle could be
thrust from a convenient window
the water would go pouring out,
spreading destruction in all direc-
tons. In small fires, especially in
up stairs" fires in private dwell.
ings, or in business houses stocked
with perishable goods, such as feath-
ers, silks, etc., the unnecessary
destruction of property was very
great.
Today fires are fought much
more scientifically and with a great
deal more system than were those
of 10 OF 20 years ago, and officers in
command OF engine companies are
usually very careful not to use any
ulore water than is absolutely neces-
sary.
Nearly every hose wagon in the
New York fire department today
carries three sizes of hose-the reg
ulation size, 21a inches, used at all
ordinary fires; 3 inches (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 ~
inches in diameter and very easy to
handle, and, on account of the ease
with which any number of lengths
OF it can be carried about, it is that
oftenest used at small fires in dwell
ing houses, Office buildings and flats.
With controlling nozzle on the
end, the fireman can dash up several
flights of stairs and into a bedroom
Or closet and extinguish a small fire
before it has time to spread, using
the water only where it is absolutely
needed. TO drag the regulation size
1t weighs about 80 pounds to the
length-up and around winding
stairways, ETC., would take much
longer and perhaps give /; fire time
to get just beyond the point of easy
control; besides, 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.
It has been practically demonstrated
that considerable amount of fire
can be extinguished with small
amount of water applied effectively.
and the use of the small hose has
done much to reduce the damage by
water at fires in dwellings and flats.
