GETTING TO A FIRE.
TheAmerican Fire Departments' SpIeu
did Horses and Their Training.

Fire Departments' SpIen.
did Horses and Their Training.
=. 8. Dellenbaugh writes an article
for st. Nicholas on The Quick Horse,
devoted to the training Of horses for
the American fire departments. Mr..
Dellenbaugh says: When a fire breaks
out in America. it is necessary to reach
it at once. The telegraph was brought
into service in sending the alarm. In
vogue was to hang out red flag by day
and a red lantern by night from the top
of one of the Frauenkirehe towers, on
the side In the direction of the fire; but
In America such system would have
resulted in the destruction of the whole
town. The telegraph is the only thing
for US.
But 1t is not enough to know immedi-
ately the exact location of a fire; 1t is
also necessary to reach it Immediately.
The steam fire-engine was splendid
machine, with steam always up and
everything In readiness for instant de-
parture, but how to secure this instant
departure was question. Horses were
kept standing in their stalls with the
harness on, but this was not quick
enough. Each seconds delay meant
loss of life or possible millions of prop
erty destroyed. So the first swinging
harness was invented: harness con-
trived in such way that, while al
ways attached to the engine or other
apparatus, 1t could be made to drop In

stantiy on the horses back and fasten |
there. This seemed 10 solve the ques-
ton, but there remained one more step,
and this was the training of the quick
horse. Not only must the engine and
the harness and the men and the horses
be ready, but the horses must be In the
harness at once-the operation must be
as nearly instantaneous as human in
genuity and brute intelligence together
could contrive. In every fire-engine
house in the United States to-day.
therefore. we may see and admire the
''Quick" horse. sleek-limbed, clear-eyed,
with an alert, intelligent air. standing
not far from the machine Of which he is
the moving power.
The casual visitor saunters In. He
thinks the life Of a fireman is a quiet
and easy one. judging from the appear
ance of the quarters. All is serene. The
machines are immaculate in polished
brass and red paint. Some of the men
are reading, others are playing game
Of checkers.
Suddenly there is tinkling some
where. and the stroke of a gong. A
snap, click-and through the wide
open doors the various machines fly.
one after another, until the visitor
views in astonishment an empty house.
1t Is like magic-a wonderful "transfor-
matiOn-scene." He gazes up and down
the street, but the galloping procession
has vanished as If 1t were dream.
The quick horse has done his duty,
and once more exhibited the power Of
organization and training. Within the
time required by the fremen of the old
en- time to throw open the engine house
doors, the complicated machines of to-
day are throwing water on the flames,
and the brave fremen, having scaled
the building with the agility Of aero
bats, are dealing well-considered blows
| against the fire foe.
In almost every city there Is prac-
tfce-drill at least once a day in the
engine-houses. and the visitor may
have an opportunity of inspecting the
admirable development Of the Amer
lean fire system and the fine horses so
splendidly trained. And he may also
have an opportunity at the same time
of lamenting that other branches of
our public service are not conducted
with equal efficiency.

INDIAN WORDS AND NAMES.
Changes In Spelling that Have Marred
Their Meaning.

Changes In Spelling that Have Marred
Their Meaning.
Commenting on the changes which
have been made in the orthography of
Indian names and the expressed be-
lief that historians and literary people
have surrendered their right and duty
to maintain these verbal relics in their
purity, the Montgomery (Ala.) Adver
tiser says: The statement is true,
more's the pity. AS the Indians have
no written language, their local names
were acquired by the whites by sound
only, and often by illiterate whites
who had little knowledge Of the arts
Of spelling and writing. For this rea-
son there is little uniformity in the
orthography of Indian proper names.
Even the work of intelligent scholars
is open to the same objections. The
yocabularies of Indian words in Ala
bama prepared by Schoolcraft, Gala
tin, Compere, Wright, Adair, Bartram
and others all differ in spelling, and
often in pronunciation, so much SO
that sometimes 1t is difficult to recog-
nize a name when 1t goes through SO
many changes.
The various Indian dialects were the
most expressive Of any in the world.
Every name was significant, whether
it was of an animate or inanimate OBJ
ject, and the name given plainly indi-
Gated its meaning. Unfortunately the
sound as well as the orthography and
expression of many of our Indian
names have been sacrificed in the eff
fort to simplify the words and to make
them conform to our system of spell
ing and writing the English language
The general government, too, or the
Postofice Department, has sacrificed
much Of the euphony and meaning OF
our Indian names in order to bring
about simplicity and uniformity. II
has accomplished this end, but has
done it at the expense of meaning
Many names of postoffices in Alabama
have no significance as now spelled
but as they were originally written any
one familiar with Indian words would
know just what was meant to be ex
| pressed.
However, we must admit that IndiaI
words have not undergone more
changes or notifications than have
many Of the words taken from tht
European or other old world languages
and dialects The people of the Unit
ed States and the government itself ar,
formulating something like languag,
Of our own, and If the change carries
with 1t total hiding Of the origina
significance of many words, it must b.
accepted as one Of the results of tn
march Of progress. But we must b
permitted to express regret that s.
many of our native names have beel
improved entirely away from thei
originals.
