EARLY FIRE APPARATUS.
Eoston Had the First Blnze-FiGhtinE
Engine on This Com
tincut.

For a great many years the United
States have led the world in the science
of fire fighting and the invention and
Improvement of fire apparatus and
equipment. Boston has either led in
the adoption and use Of the latest fire
machinery or ii has been among the
first TO do so.
Boston possessed the first fire en-
CINE or this continent, which il inn
ported from London in IG7S. 1t had six
engines when Philadelphia, the second
city to possess one. purchased its first
in I7IS New Iorl, was third in 1882,
Salem f6uIth in 17+0 and baltimore
fifth in 17G3. All OF these engines were
small affairs, without either suction or
leading hose, and we're built by Richard
Newsham, of London. who built nearly
all the fire engines used in the world at
thaTtime. Only one Of these engines is
known to be in existence at the pres
ent time, the one built in 1749 for Salem,
or, rather, for Richard Derby, of that
place, who presented it to the town.
1t was in active service there for many
years, and a number of years ago was
presented to Philadelphia fire COM
pany, and is now in possession OF the
Veteran Firemen's ASSOCIATION of that
city, and is on public exhibition at their
headquarters. 1t is the oldest piece of
fire apparatus on this continent.
The first American fire engine was
built by John and Thomas Hill, of Bos-
ton, in 1898, the next by Anthony
Nichols, of Philadelphia, in 1875, and
by William Lindsay, Of New York, in
1887, none of which was a success, and
none was ever in the service of either of
the places named. AS early as 1864,
Boston, then p years old, gave its
selectmen authority to purchase of Jo-
seph jerks, of Lynn, five engines, but
there is no record that the engines were
purchased or that Mr.. jerks ever built
an engine.
The first successful American fire en-
gine was built by Thomas Lote, of New
York, in 1743 and was used by No. B
engine company for number of years.
Other fire engines of that city were also
built by him.-Bos1on Globe.

A traveller in Siberia relates an ex-
traordinary occurrence among the
frozen regions of that country. In the
intensely cold nights, he writes, the
silence was sometimes broken by a loud
report as of cannon. This was the
bursting of one of the ice bubbles on n
river; a phenomenon / had neither
heard or read of before.
The streams coming down from the
hills were frozen on the surface some
six to nine inches thick. The water be-
meath flowed faster than it could es-
cape> and the pressure on the principle
of a hydraulic press became irresistible.
First the elasticity Of the ice was seen
by the rising of circular mounds some
six to eight feet in diameter, and from
four to five feet high. The bursting
point came at last with n report like an
explosion. | have seen scores of these
ice hillocLs in a few versts of the river.
