SAFETY BOARD
BUYS FOUR
HORSES
For the Fire Department
Paying One Thousand
Dollars For Them.

Four fine horses were purchased
yesterday afternoon by special COM
mittee representing the Board of Pub
lie Safety for use in the fire depart
ment. The committee was composed
of Mayor Bliss, and Messrs. McGaug-
hey and Oliver. The sum paid for
the animals was $1,000.
Recently, when the board was given
money by the council to purchase
new stock, it was decided to appoint
a committee to make the purchase.
The latter had W. R. Taylor e. Co.
purchase four large horses in Ten
nessee, where he went to secure some
for himself. They were secured upon
condition that if they proved salts
factory to the committee and were
found to be sound after an examina-
ton by a veterinary. Yesterday the
committee had this examination made
and finding the horses to be salts
factory decided to make conditional
purchase.
The animals weigh between 1900
and 1,400 pounds each and are believ-
ed to be well fitted for service in the
fire department.
1t has been the policy of the board
in purchasing stock for the fire de-
partment, to buy none but large and
powerful animals. as it has been found
that the smaller horses are unable to
stand the work.
The board will also purchase in a
few days 1000 feet of new hose for
the fire department. Bids have been
called for and will be opened at the
next meeting.

Ten Acres Enough.

Many q man who has gone into bust
ness with the notion that he must have
an extensive plant in order to succeed
has found that he has undertaken too
much This was the experience of an
Arkansas farmer, who for many years
f1tfully titled farm of 200 acres with
out making at any time a comfortable
living. At last he sold the land TO five
Italian families, who took forty acres
each. A northern traveller who passed
that way and was attracted by the
neatness and evident prosperity OF the
small farms entered into conversation
with one Of the proprietors.
"How much land have your he
asked.
Forty acres" said the italian.
"Is it all in tiIlage"
NO. lndeedr' exclaimed the farmer.
'Ten acres are all one man can attend
to. bought the rest for my sons
Ten acres may seem like a small
farm to most Americans, but carefully
cultivated 1t produced for the Italian
more revenue than 200 had for the pre-
vious owner-Youth's Companion.

GOOD WORK At
POWER PLANT
TWO LARGE GENERATORS SET UP
AND CONNECTED WITHIN
FOUR MONTHS.

A striking illustration of modern
progressiveness and the ability of the
men handling the work, can be seen
at the plant of the local light and
power company. There, within a
period of four months, two large gen
orators have been installed and con-
nected, one TO furnish power for the
operation of cars and the other cur
rent for light and heat.
These Improvements have moved
along continually. Notwithstanding
the many obstacles to be overcome,
the delay in securing the material
and the vast amount of repair work
to be done on account of the Septem-
Der hurricane. Within short, time
now The citizens Of Pensacola will
have an opportunity of experiencing
much better lighting and heating IA
cilities by electricity.

The Caisson Fog.

In an air lock 1t Is common practice
to note that while unlocking-that Is,
coming through the lock, and as the
pressure is being reduced by opening
the discharge valve-a fog accumulates,
becoming thick as the temperatures and
pressure are lowered. The writer at
one time was attacked by the bends, or
the caisson disease, after coming out
of the old Hudson river tunnel. He
was promptly taken into the hospital"
which was nothing but a horizontal
tank about the size of q common loco
motive boiler. The pressure, amount
ing at that time to some thirty pounds,
was admitted, and it acted instantly to
relieve pain and to produce normal con-
dltlons. He was told to open the throt-
tie valve and let the pressure out so
that he might open the door, AS he did
this he noticed that the temperature
was gradually lowered, and at GER
tain point, known as the dew point, he
was enveloped In fog. The pain return
ed about this time, so that he shut OF
the discharge valve and opened the
cock, admitting compressed air. The
fog Immediately disappeared, the tenn
perature was slightly increased and the
pain stopped. This condition was re-
peated several times, so that here is a
means by which artificial fog may be
produced at will. The same physical
laws apply in the production Of fog as

Last Niuht's Play.

A regular record-breaking audience
was out last night to see that "Musi-
cal Cocktail" called THE Royal Chef"
This piece is just an ordinary comic
opera, easily reaching the average. 1t
has, like most of them, its merits and
demerits. but there is quite enough in
it 10 satisfy anybody. The songs,
while none were particularly striking,
were pleasing, especially was this true

The company chorus carries a,large
number of people. among which are
some very pretty girls. The cos
tunes were very pretty, but the
scenery was nothing extra.
The comedians fell a little short,
but there was enough of natural COM
edy in the play to offset this defect.

Carolina" the New American Play. to
Have Its First Presentation Aug. rs.

Carolina" the new American play, the
first stage presentation of which, at the
Auditorium on Saturday, Aug. Is 10 being
eagerly awaited, is the result of personal
experience on the part OF the author
II. Grattan Donnelly, the well-known
dramatist, among the sturdy Carolina
mountaineers. Until within a very few
years that part Of our country included
in the great Appalachian chain has been
little known to the outside world Of
late, however, readers of the works of
James Lane Allen, Charles Egbert Grad
dock (Aiss Murfee), and others, has been
made familiar with it. The primitive
conditions in the Carolina mountains are
but little different today from those which
held sway when the hardy frontiersmen
first scaled their Businesses over 100 years
ago. Loyal in their friendships; deadly
in their hatred; shy and distant to stran-
gers; caring little for the luxuries of
civilization. The Carolina mountaineers
present phases of life more romantic and
dramatic than can be imagined. Here
We find Jack Durrell. the typical noun
taineer; Carolina Tolliver, the child of
nature; Nam Tolliver, with her pipe and
primitive ways; then in the foothills, the
higher type OF the Southerner, Dr.
Sterling Duke, courtly and chivalrous
Grace Wilson, the proud Southern girl;
Judge Bulstring, with heart as big as
church; lastly the types of Northern
tourists who are In the Southland for
health, Paul Harvard. loyal and brave
Stella Jordon, the impulsive Boston
heiress. Priscilla Filkins, in search of her
ideal-these and others will be recognized
as types of the complex and diverse ele-
ment of that wonderful Land of the
Sky in which are laid the scenes OF
TCarolina."
Manager Louis Miller has given the
play scenic embellishment, which, for
realism and ddelity to locale, has not
been equalled in years. These scenes in
clude a view of Carolina Pines. a we'll
known resort in the foothills; the old
Cabin home of the Tollivers; on Wagle
Knob; the old mill on Roaring Fork,
and view of Magnolia Hall. an old-time
Southern Colonial home. The cast is a
powerful one embracing the names of
well known actors, and includes Benja-
min Bradbury. John F. Weber, Corliss
Giles, Earle X. Mitchell. Robert Thorne,
George Gordon, ]. II. Lorenzen, Nora
Shelby, Helaine Hadley. Phila May, Alice
Washburn and Helen Quincy.
