THE MODERN STEAM FIRE ENGINE.

The steam fire engine OF today has
apparently reached almost its limit in
power and capacity 1t has taken prob
ably 40 years TO evolve this perfect re-
suit. The steam engines of a genera
tion ago were capable of forcing one
stream a greater distance than the
hand engines. but their chief merit con-
sisted in the fact that they could stay
longer than hand power. They have
been improved from year to year. until
at the present time we have what is
considered by practical men as the fin
est piece of mechanism in it's class,
now In existencA
To American invention entirely, the
glory OF this high development is due.
The engine fs practically perfect and
could be operated by a boy 10 years
old. It's capacity is from $50 gallons to
1.500 gallons OF water per minute. OF
course an adequate supply OF water is
necessary to force this number of gal
Ions. Such supply we obtain when
taking water from a hydrant which is
connected with 30-inch main, or one
OF a greater size; but when supplying
from less than "a 20-inch main, and
when number OF engines are connec-
ted with the same main. the engines
will not receive sufficient water for
their best performance.
The steam fire engine OF today will
throw "A one and a half inch stream

that power is applied to a steel three
inch stand pipe. ii Will force water to a
point higher than any OF our tall build
ings-that is TO say, In the neighbor-
hood of $50 feet.
To hold these streams in front of n
building, pipe holders are generally
used, consisting OF a long socket where

FUNCTION OF The MODERN PROFESSOR

You are aware that the pedagogue is
no longer treated with that Difference
and respect which he feels to be due
To his love OF, learning. Past is all mis-
fame Past is the day when the viii
lage all declared how much he knew.
Nowadays he is accustomed TO
be told by the rustics, who
once gaZed in wonder that he is old
fashioned and out of place in our mod
ern world: that he does not represent
the nation; that the love he bears u
learning is al fault; and that the uni
verslty the people want must be uni
versal like an omnibus, with place
for all. either for single square or TO
the end.
He is also used TO hearing from those
successful people of whom all must
speak with reverence-those who have
demonstrated their superiority by lay
ing Their hands on everything they
think worth the getting-that he is a
mere "bookish theorist," and that they
are much more able TO show him the
path TO success than he to tell them
anything TO their advantage.
Unless he can minister TO their com
fort 'or entertainment, or make smooth
the royal road To learning, or at the
very least help to maintain the patent
office. he is told to be content with such
treatment as they think good enough
for him. and TO keep himself TO his
work of teaching the lower classes 10
be lowly and reverent To all their bet

Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines
afforded a market for over $40, 600, 600
worth of Spanish goods per annum. ac-
cording to a statement of the British
consul at Barcelona, just received by
the Treasury Bureau OF Statistics
About three-fourths OF this amount
was in manufactured goods and con-
siderably more than one-half of this
market was that OF Cuba alone. Consul
Roberts expresses the opinion that
Spanish manufacturers and dealers are
not going TO give up the markets Of
Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines
without a struggle. He also intimates
that other nat.onalities have tn the
past participated in the so-called Span
ish trade with these Islands by locating
In Spain and thus getting the advan-
tage OF low tariff rates into the islands
which was originally given To COM
merce originating In Spain. On this
subject. however, he SAYS: 'In the

STAMPEDE OF CATTLE.
