NOTED FIRE FIGHTER.
Chief Hale. Who WA Teach Ameri-
can Methods to the British.

Cdh nSlhouS ~ the bEAtAShS
George C. Hale, former chief of the
Kansas City fire department who has
been invited to go to London next May
to demonstrate American methods Of
handling fires to the British, is one Of
the most noted fire fighters in the
world. He is also the inventor of most
of the time saving appliances now in
general use in the fire departments Of
the world.
Chief Hale took a picked squad Of
American firemen to the Paris exposi-
tion, where their skill amazed the Pari-
slams and the horde of visitors at the
French capital. Leaving Paris, he and
bis squad spent six weeks in London
where he opened the eyes of the Eng
fish fremen. He gave exhibitions at
the Crystal palace and was offered
$4,000 to continue them during the
summer, but was obliged to decline.
Since Chief Hale has been connected
with the Kansas City fire department
he has perfected fifty different devices
for fire fighting and fire resisting pur-
poses. Among his inventions are the
quick hitching harness now in use all
over the world, the water tower, the
unLitching apparatus, cellar pipes and
the automatic graphophone alarm for
private buildings. These devices sim
ply carry out his dominant idea that

FIRE ALARM BOXES.
The System In New York and How 1t
Is Operated.

The System In New York and How 1t
Is Operated.
Greater New York is thickly studded
with lamppost fire alarm boxes. The
directions on each box, which is paint
ed red and is surmounted at night by
red light, are:
Turn handle to right until door
opens; then pull inside hook once and
shut the door," The opening of the
box rings a large bell in the door,
which alarm is intended to notify any
one in the neighbOrhood, especially the
nearest policeman, that the box has
been opened. The policeman will then
make sure that this was not done out
of mischief by some one who wanted to
see the engines arrive or, as recently
happened, by a raw maidserYant who
wanted to mail a letter. When the in
side lever is pulled down and let go, it
sets in motion a certain clockwork that
ticks out the number of the box three
times in succession at headquarters in
Sixty-seventh street Not only that,
but it makes a record upon a tape,
showing the number of the box and the
exact second at which the lever was
pulled.
A clerk who sits night and day be-
side the headquarters instrument notes
the number and selects from a drawer
a certain disk which when inserted in
the proper apparatus causes the alarm
to be rung in the station houses of the
district in which that frebox is situat-
ed. The average time required to Sc
lect this disk and send out the alarm is
ten seconds. There are always two
clerks and sometimes three in this de-
partment. Not a word is spoken. An
outsider would hardly know that an
alarm is going out. In order to prevent
several alarms coming at the same
time from people who see the same fire
and run to different boxes no two
neighboring boxes are on the same cir

the only way to prevent great losses is
TO get quick and effective action on a
fire.
Mr.. Hale is a native of Cotton, N. Y.
When fourteen years of age, he went
to Kansas City, where he learned the
trade of machinist While working at
his trade he became a member of the
volunteer fire department as a torch
boy, who raced ahead of the firemen
bearing a light. When the regular
paid department was organized in
1871, Mr.. Hale became engineer of the
first steamer. Seven years later he was
made assistant chief and in 1882 be-
came chief, which position he retained
until last April, when he was retired,
Mr.. Hale is fifty-three years old.
