new fire SYSTEM
AT PULLMAN'S

Harry A. Miller. OF No. 617 shlpley

and most up-to-date sprinkler system

The plant comprises automatic
sprinllers in all the buildings of the

ed they are put on what Is known as
the dry system, where the system IS
filled with air instead Of water. The
water is kept out by an automatic
device known as dry valve until a
sprinkler melts off, then as soon as
the air is expelled the water is turned
on automatically by the dry valve.
When the water is stated by any
sprinkler IN any section or building
the alarm IS givin by a large gongs on
outside Of buildings, which is run by
water motor.
The city pressure is carried on all
the various systems, which is ga
pounds per square inch and the aux
iliary kept up by two large fire pumps
which discharge 1000 gallons per min
ute; the pumps taking suction from
the Brandywine creek
The cost Of the system complete was
$4,000 and the reduction on insur-
ance after installation amounts TO over
$4,000 per year.

WATCHING THE sALToN SEA.
Engineers May Learn Formula for the
Evaporation Of Water.

Los Angeles, Calf plans which
scientists In the employ Of the govern
ment are now carrying into effect are
successful, engineers will have, within
the next few years. what they have
never hitherto had-a formula OF
evaporation OF water under given con
dltions. The field Of study Of the sci
entists is the salton sea, the inland
body Of water near the Mexican line
which was, in ages past. a part OF the
Gulf OF California.
The government proposes 10 keep
from six to eight men on the ground
for two years. These men viii study
the supply Of water 10 the sea and
win attempt to determine the receg-
sion of the body Of water-how much
Is taken by the atmosphere in a given
period.
Pro. F. H. Bigelow Of the United
States weather bureau has been as
signed to take charge Of the work, and
he will be assisted by the local wealth
