Efficient Fire System.

by installing this system Washington
will have one of the most efficient and
least expensive fire systems in the world
the first cost being the only cost, and
there will be no costly pumping stations
t. install and maintain.
This system is to be so laid that the
liability of accident is reduced to mini
mum, and it can be extended to any point
when the occasion arises. There will be no
need of fire engines within the area to be
covered by the high pressure service, as
the fire hydrants replace the engines and
thereby dispense with their cost of main
tenance. which amounts to many thousands
OF dollars a year. There are many causes
for fire engines to break down at hres
which leaves them practically useless ana
the property at the mercies of the flames.
These accidents are unavoidable and hap
pen in the best fire departments.
Under the present system when an
alarm is received in the engine houses
ana the company therein responds it leaves
the house practically useless until it's re
turn. This condition will not exist under
the high pressure system. Under the hlgh
pressure service the fire MIGRANTS will have
the maximum pressure on them at all
times, and they will answer the purpose
of the fire engines. The department, in
stead of having an engine and hose
wagon in any one house, Will have spe-
cially constructed wagons to carry an ade-
quate number of feet of hose to get from
one to six streams of water from any one
hydrant, and probably three or four wagons
can be placed in one house.
By making alterations to the stalls and
the rooms on the ground floors of the
houses three four wagons can be placed
in service and this would add not less than
doubly to the fire protection over the pres
ent. AS an illustration, an alarm is re-
ceived and one hose wagon will respond,
leaving one, two or three wagons in the
same house to protect the area covered by
the company; second fire occurs and the
second wagon responds, and still there are
two wagons to respond under similar con-
ditionS.

WAR WITH THE SEA,
Reclamation Of Land on the Coast of
Holland.

People who have heard the statement
that .'the Dutch have taken Holland real
ize what that actually means when they
see just what the natives of Holland have
done in the way of rescuing land from the
sea. How this land has been claimed and
how 1t is preserved was the subject of q
lecture last night at the Eastern High
School in the course of free lectures to
the people by Professor Gore of the George
Washington University
During eight visits to the Netherlands
Professor Gore made a study Of the ex-
tensive operations that are In progress for
retaining land and preventing its overflow
by the restless sea that beats against its
northern coast. These operations were de-
scribed in the lecture and views of the
dykes and pumping stations shown. The
constant struggle against pitiless elements,
he stated, has had very marked influence
charitable and cooperative. This can be
seen in the perfectly orgnized charitable In
situations that are taken as models by peo-
pie of all countries and In the guilds or
cooperative labor institutions.
Special emphasis was placed upon the in
debtedness OF other countries to Holland
for institutions that may be traced to the
response that comes from the daily con-
test with the sea. The community of in
terests In keeping a dkye In repair calls
for GENERALIZATION, and the Importance of
seeing to 1t that neighboring community
is equally vigflant long ago brought about
form Of government of which our union
of states is the elimination.
The fertility OF reclaimed lands PROMPTED
the best possible sort Of cultivation, and
thus Holland became the founder Of syste-
matte agriculture.
