IN OLD NEW AMSTERDAM.
Primitive Appliances With Which the
Dutch FOUGHT Fire.

The earliest appliance for fighting
fire in New Amsterdam was the leath-
ern fire bucket, several of which are
yet preserved at, the headquarters OF
the Exempt Firemen, 10 Jefferson
Market. The leathern fire bucket is,
Of course, collapsable and unbreak-
able. These were passed from hand
to hand by the bucket brigade" ," one
of the earliest organizations of vclun-
teer firemen. Fifty of these buckets
were kept in the old Stadt Huys, and
100 were distributed in various places
about the old Dutch city. This primi-
tive method of fighting fire is still in
use in many small country towns,
where water mains and hydrants are
unknown. ,. = =
About 1925 a numbering hand en-
gine was invented. The one shown
in the cut is Washington No. ]"
and was the first fire engine used in
Brooklyn. 1t was square, clumsy

A Glass Road.

Not least among the wonders Of the
National Yellowstone Park are the
singular obsidian cliffs. They are
formed of volcanic glass, that, in
color, resembles the cheap green bot
ties of commerce. They rise in, al
most vertical columns, which, though
opaque, glisten, like jet.
At their sbase~is a@read,; probably
unique upon TIE globe. 1t consists en-
tirely of glass, and is a quarter Of a
mile long, To construct it large fires
were built upon the. obsidian mass
Cold water was then dashed on the
heated surface, causing it to crack
and crumble to pieces. This tedious
undertaking. finally. resulted in a
roadway that is the admiration and
wonder of all who behold it.

copy of Bible Of 1884.

An old German Bible, a copy Of the
one translated by Martin Luther in
1884, was purchased recently at a
paltry price by a Seattle man from
a stranded German sailor. The book
is said to be of priceless value. The
present owner is a reader Of the
Scriptures. He has been offered a
large sum for the book, but refuses to
part with it until he has read it
through.
The volume was printed in Nurem'
berg in 1920. ' It is foot thick, and is
printed on very heavy paper. Despite
it's age it is we'll preserved and the
type is as clear as if it had been set
yesterday. The many Illustrations
splendidly made from old-fashioned
wood-cuts, are copies of old paintings.

THE KING OF ELMS.
Little Town of WethersfieId Boasts OF
Splendid Tree.

t'SS'
What is said to be the largest elm
in New England and one of the great
est trees east of the Rocky Mountains
is in the historic little town Of Weth-
ersfeld, famed for it's onion gardens
and it's prison. The elm stands On the
lower end of the old town square, op-
posite the Smith house, still occupied
by descendants of John Smith, who
planted the tree over ITO years ago.
At the base where some of the mas
sive roots, as they radiate from the
trunk, protrude above the surface, the
circumference is 557a feet, while the
main trunk above the ground is 22h
feet in circumference. According to
Oliver Wendell Holmes classification
Of elms. this would come easily with
in the first class, and with something
to spare, for all elms with girth OF
twenty feet short distance above the
ground he catalogued as of the first
order of size. New England. with its
multitude of great elms, can show few
whose measurement from two to four
feet above the surface will be twenty
feet.
Four huge branches spring from the
trunk of the Wetherfield tree. Each
one of them would make big tree in
itself.

But one in the San Cuayatan canyon

the great barranca district, which is
called the Tierras Desconocidas.
While searching for the famous lost
mine Naranjal. great roar of water
was heard. With much difficulty the
party pushed OH and up and down the
mighty chasm until they beheld the
superb fall, which is said to be at
least 5000 feet high.

Mack was employed for several
years by R. H. Johnson, contractor

When the man died J. S. Pearce, at

as the embalming was unusually sue

body, but Mr.. Pearce says he1will not
surrender it except to some member
of Mack's family.
The body has been viewed by thou

The skin retains its natural color, and
the sandy mustache, and hair remain

STATE NORMAL FIRE
HARGE BRICK DORMITORY
:RGOES DOWN IN ASHES
THIS MORNING.
Three Hundred and Fifty Girls
Asleep In Building All Saved:
But Most of Them Lost
Their WardrObes.

Daily Argus, Thursday, Jan. 81.
A special telegram to the ARGUS
this morning from Greensboro con-
yeys the distressing intelligence
that the large brick dormitory of
the State Normal at that place was
completely destroyed by fire this
morning at the early hour of 5
O'Clock, while three hundred and
fifty young ladies we're sleeping in
the fated building. All these escaped
without bodily harm, though many
of them had little time for dressing
for their exit, and most of them lost
all their wardrobes and belongings.
4How the fire originated we have
not been advised at this hour, or
what will be the course Of the man
agement of the school, as to whether
it will close for rebuilding the dor
mitofy or continue right on under
temporary provisions for sleeping
the young ladies-which latter
would seem to be the proper course.
The Goldsboro young ladies at the
Normal have all been heard from by
wire to-day, and report themselves
safe, but more Or less depleted of
theirS wardrobe belongings: but
everyone here, as elsewhere, is so
over-ioyed that no fatalities occurred
in the fearful frey ordeal that. no
,reckoning is made of temoral losses.
Certainly must the discipline OF
this splendid institution have been
most deficient to have extradited
without a single casualty so many
necessarily excited and half dazed
girls aroused from sleep to 80 sud-
den and appalling impending dan
ger. I'VE congratulate the manage
mention this splendid achievement,
but especially do we congratulate
the parents everywhere of the young
ladies of the Normal, that all OF
them have been spared the name.
less sorrow that a kind Providence
has averted from their homes and
hearts.
