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 a
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 maidservant who
wanted to mail 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
Sixtyseventh 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 drawer
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 fireboX 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

Moses and His Horns.

Did Moses have horns? Certainly
not, but if you have ever had the
pleasure Of examining a copy of Mi
chael Angeles great picture of 1.-THE
Lawgiver" you have wondered why
the great painter surmounted the pa
triarchal face, gray beard and becom-
ing priestly gown with a pair of horns
much resembling those of a two-year-
old animal of the bovine tribe. The
reason is this: Jerome's Bible, the
Latin Vulgate, tells that when Moses
came down from the mountain top his
face was radiant" (raye0 with the
great light shining from his pure soul.
In the Greek Septuagint the transla-
ton said it was 'cornua," meaning
radiant" Jerome used this later YER
sion in making his Latin Vulgate and
translated 'cornua" as "cornuta," the
last meaning horned. Angelo made
his picture accordingly.

Soil Is a Living Organism.

Formerly the soil was regarded as
mineral matter, simply decayed rock
mixed with dead organic matter, says
an exchange. Now we know that the
soil is living organism whose life
is as important as that of the animal
or the plant itself. If the soil be killed,
it is absolutely sterile. In other words,
If the life Of organisms which make
soil fertile are destroyed the soil is
incapable of producing a CROP Plants,
as a rule, eat only mineral food, such
as phosphoric acid, potash and nitric
acid, but animals usually eat only Or
ganic foods, such as fats, sugars and
protein matter.
