Electric Fire Enains.

The General Electric company. says
Electricity, has offered to furnish the
city of Schenectady with new elec.
trio fire engine. II the offer is nc.
cepted this will be one OF the first
cities in the world to be equipped with
an electric fire engine. The engine is
to be twelve feet long, thirty inches
wide and thirty inches high. and will
weigh about ton. The engine will
be provided with cable that will
allow II to be attached TO a socket
on pole not more than 200 yards
from the fire. The electric power thus
received will be used to operate tho
pump. which has a capacity OF 1900
gallons a minute. The advantages OF
this engine are that It can be operated
at less expense than = steam engine.
requires but one horse to draw II, and
needs but one man to operate It.

that way. II is especially designed for
going to nres In the suburbs or In

two trucks. on which are placed Iron
platforms. To this rear truck is at.

/ Success. Of Electric transit

The electric railway is to perform o
service for mankind as notable and
perhaps ultimately as great as that
rendered by Its steam operated prede.
cessor, says George H. Gibson In En-
gineering. Already 1t handles the
bulk of suburban and short distance
interurban passenger traffic; 1t carries
freight. mail, express and baggage: 1t
operates at speeds reaching sixty
miles per hour; its cars are operated
on time schedules and dispatched by
telephone; Its roadbed is often as ex-
pensive and heavy of construction as
that of the best steam lines; and,i
what is more interesting to the In
vestor. 1t pays large dividends. At the
present time $1,000, 100000 are nomi-
nally invested in electric roads In the
United States. and upon this sum 81
100000 are paid in yearly dividends;
100000 employees receive yearly In
wages 3250.00O,O 900, and there are 2O,-
600 miles Of track, on which 10000
cars are run. In 1899 ten miles of
electric road were built for every mile
OF steam road constructed. Still, 1t
cannot be said that the electric roads
have achieved their great success in
competition with steam roads. They
have opened field of development
which does not compete with. and was
not open to steam. The peculiar ad.
vantages Of the electric system Of
traction are frequent service, fiexibil
ity. convenient location, clean. light
ana airy cars and low fares. or these.
probably the most important are loca-
ton and the ability to maintain n fire.
Quent service with small units. BY
these means electric roads have sue
ceeded where traffic did not previously
exist and could not have been pro.
duced by steam roads.

to the air. AS this evaporates its
moisture through its stem and leaves,
1t necessarily grows lighter. and the
air chamber below forces 1t to rise
higher above the water. This de-
presses the point of the lever. The
actual vertical movement is, of course,
small. but 1t can be multiplied to any
extent desired simply by lengthening
the lever arm.
The diameter Of the rod being
known. simple calculation gives the
amount evaporated by the plant in
twenty-four hours. Comparative tests
show which plants evaporate the least,
thus enabling one essential for life in
