BERLIN BICYCLE ENGINES
Th.s Fire Department Of the Ger.
man City Has . Most Unique
Equipment.

German fire apparatus builders have,
after several years of trial, produced q
fire bicycle which, if it falls short of be-
Sng perfect, is an invention far ahead
of anything OF its kind in use else
where. It is four-wheeled truck. with
a low. compact superstructure, is fully
equipped as an engine, and has a COM
plete outfit of life-saving apparatus.
The wheels have solid rubber tires, it
is pedaled by two firemen, sitting tan
dem, and runs rapidly on good roads,
while its handling is extremely simple.
The firemen having the one in charge
at Gruenewald, suburb of Berlin. re-
Gently covered a mile, made the hydrant
attachment, and were at work in
something less than five minutes. The
bicycle engine carries lot of tools and
implements, slowed snugly away, and
each held securely in place.
The weight of the bicycle itself and
all it carries, is 377 pounds. and the
price of the entire outfit is 900 marks,
or about $275.
In other particulars of fire equip
ment, Also the Germans are ahead of
us. In Berlin the firemen wear water
jackets, with double skin, which they
are able to fill with water from the
hose. If the space between the layers
becomes overfilled, the water escapes
through valve at the top of the he'll
met and flows down over the fireman
like cascade, thus doubly protecting
him. The smoke helmets. also German
invention. are largely used throughout
Germany, and in Austria, Holland and
Italy. and are now on trial in some Of
our fire departments. The smoke hel.
NETS enable the wearer to breathe and
to see with some degree OF comfort In
a smoke-laden atmosphere; some OF
the newer patterns contain means o.
telephone communication leading ou
OF the building and into the street be

A SOLDIERS LAST FARE.
WELL.
BY d T. SrEFFr.

When The Spanish American
wsr was declared, and the call
fer volunteers was given,
Harry Bruce was one among
the first to uphold his country's
hlg, and was commissioned
as first Lieutenant in the
volunteer army. He was or
dered at once to make ready
to leave for Cuba. No event
in his past lie had given him
SO much pleasure, as the one
he was now about to realize.
For it had been the one desire
OF his life to become a soldier,
his delight for a soldiers life
was inherited from his father,
who had wore the gray in the
Civil war between the states,
and had held the same rank as
his son now held and when he
informed his father that he had
enlisted to deliver Cuba from
the oppressive rule Of the
Spaniards, he babe his son
farewell with a fathers bless
ing, but when it came to bid
ding Lillian Dale, his swee-
heart, goodbye, it was not a
very pleasant duty to perform,
for they had grown up to-
& her, their lives had be-
come interviewer to such an
extent that it was very bitter
Tor them to be separated from
each other, even for a short
while. On the evening in
which he came to bid Lillian
farewell, it was not with a
light heart, that he entered
the gate to the path that led
tnrougll the orchard to her
home As he strobe up the
path his warm southern blood
leaped through his veins at a
rapid rate as he thought Of
tf.esr il aet!ag. perhaps for the

was soon gratihed. In a very
short time the battle Of San
Juan hill was fought.
On the morning of the day
in which the battle took place
Harry Bruce stood at the foot
Of the hill with his comrades
ready to ascend as soon as the
word Of command was given
His mind wandered back
among the hills of Virginia
which held all that was dear to
him. From where they stood
they could see the entrench-
ments and block houses of the
Spaniards and at intervals
they could discern the barb
wire fences, that had been
placed along the side Of the
hill so as to retard the advance
OF the American forces. When
the command to advance was
given Harry Bruce led his
company and was soon in the
thickest OF the fight. With
the scream of the deadly Mau
ser keeping time with the
dropping Of his wounded COM
rades, they swept onward
needless of the death hail that
was now falling in torrents
around them and the life
blood oftheir comrades REDEEM
ing the side of the hill, and
making it the more difficult to
ascend. Every moment
brought them nearer the goal
that they were striving to OBJ
tain, but Harry Bruce was not
destined to reach the coveted
spot. The fatal Mauser at
last found target in his body
and he>fell on the very brink
of victory. When the smoke
Of battle had cleared they
found him with his life fast
ebbing away and when he was
told that he ]. had only a few
more moments to live he raised
himself with his dying strength
and turned his face toward his
native home and exclaimed

virulent Cancer Cured.

Startling proof o wonderful adj

CIV Roberts of Elizabeth, w. Va. An
old man there had long suffered with
what good doctors pronounced incnr
able cancer. They believed his case
hopeless till he used Electric Bltters
and applied Bucklens Afnica Salve
which treatment completely cured him.
