somewhat the pictures of the French
racing automobiles, and was specially
designed for the use Of chiefs of fire
departments and chiefs Of police. Speed
has been prime factor OF comsidera-
tion in its construction. but the matter
OF durability was not lost sight of. so
that the new vehicle is much heavier
than the ordinary racing motor. and
vet viii maintain a speed of twenty-five
mfles an hour as long as the batteries
stored in front and behind can be de-
pended upon. The motor is so con-
structed that it can be run at four
speeds-seven. ten. fifteen and twenty
miles an hour. The highest speed is
used only in emergencies, a gait Of
fifteen miles an hour being considered
as fast as is necessary on ordinary oc-
casions. The vehicle also has a tool
chest attached 10 the rear. and in this
chest it is believed, a small portable
searchdght can be carried. With this
light the person operating the machine
can illuminate any building where the
smoke is dense, and by attaching a reel
of wire to the carriage the light can
be taken into the building and used to
illuminate interiors when the ordinary
lights have gone out.

10 is the wish OF the librarian of
Delaware College to add as rapidly as
possible to the local history depart
ment OF the library, and friends Of the
college are urged to aid in the work of
improving this department. Much Of
this local history of Delaware and the

form of sermons. addresses, biOgraph-
ical sketches and memorial pamphlets
Of various kinds. Such publications are
often lost sight of shortly after the oc-
casion that begets them, and are rarely
to be bought of any bookseller, yet they
sometimes contain valuable historical
data not easily found elsewhere.
ANY friend of the college who has
such publications that he ia willing to
give away can do a great service to the
institution by gending them TO the H.
brarian of Delaware College, at New
ark
There are other and even rarer pub
licatiOns that would be very welcome
additions to the library, such for ex-
ample. as Ferris History of Whining
ton. now to be had onry OF dealers in
second hand books. Pictures illustra-
tive OF Delaware and Peninsular his
tory will also be very welcome gifts 70
the library.
1t is the wish Of the librarian to
make the department OF focal history a
really valuable one. such as may be Of
use not only TO the students Of the
college. but to anyone investigating
the history of Delaware or the PENN
sula.
