A Punishable Misdemeanor

The fire department was called out
twice last Friday night by alarms
turned in by some prankish fellow
that wanted to have some fun at the
expense of the fire laddies. The first
alarm was turned in at 12 As from the
corner of Fifth and Rudd avenue and
the second one about AN hour later
from the corner of Seventh and Col
lege. evidently by the same fellow.
An effort was made to run down the
culprit Ly the aid of bluodhounds
from the peniteptiary, but without
avail. 1t is a far more serious matter
than ruany people suppose to send in a
false fire alarm. and to prevent it as
far as possible the law infiicts a pen
atty of three hundred dollars upon
offenders of this kind.

Tested New Heating Plant

The members of the board of educa.
ton, in conjunction with the con-
tractors, met at the high school build
ing at O'Clock yesterday afternoon
and made a thorough inspection and
test of the Dickson system of heating
recently installed at that institution
under the supervision of Messrs. Ellis
& Hood, local agents of the Dickson
patents. The system is combination
one, including the best features of
most of the other methods of steam
heating in vogue. Although, the
Dickson system is comparatively new
one and embodies some radical depart
ures from old ideas it is rapidly
establishing itself in public favor and
is being used with great success in
some of the newer sky scrapers anC
office buildings of Denver and other
cities. By the use of electric ther-
mostats the temperature in different
rooms of the same building may be
made to widely differ. For instance.
a temperature of sixty degrees may be
maintained in one room and one hun
dred degrees in another. 1t is under
stood the test at the high school
building yesterday afternoon was en-
tirely satisfactory and that the plant
will be accepted as meeting all the
requirements of the contract with the
builders.
