USE LOCOMOTIVES
TO FIGHT FIRES

In order to secure greater protection
from FIRE to its property in and around
Pittsburg. the Pennsylvania Railroad
has organized a UNIQUE fire depart.
ment Seventeen locomotives have been
eqlpped with fire hose and pumping
machinery, enabling them to apply a
strong stream of water from their own
tanks. These engines with crews that
are fast becoming expert in fire hgnt-
ing. operate continuously day and
night In switching work. but fire
alarms have the first call on ther SER
vices.
The system now installed in Pitts
burg is the result Of the development
of fire protection by the Pennsylvania
Railroad that has been going on FOR
the past twenty years. The insurance
records OF the company show that con-
siderable good mas been accomplished
by the fire fighting engines and the
number is now being largely increased,
as the apparatus has been simplifed
and the amount Of hose carried in
creased by substituting linen for cot
ton rubber lined hose.

ROBERTS EXPLAINS.
APPARENT LOSS.
Says Presbyterian Church is
Not DwindIing as Might
be Supposed

A decrease Of 1900 communicates
iR the Presbyterian Church during the
last year is reported by the Rev. DR..
William H. Roberts. stated clerk Of
the General Assembly. Or. Roberts
attributes the falling off to two causes.
"The first factor" he says. was the
transfer of all the churches in China
to the Presbyterian Church Of China.
This took away 1900 communicates.
The second reason is found in the at
titude Of between 10000 and 10000
members Of the former Cumberland
Presbyterian Church, who are still op-
posed to the union Of that church
with the Presbyterian Church, and de-
cline to furnish annual reports of the
congregations with which they are
connected"
Dr Roberts says, nevertheless, that
the Presbyterian Church is not going
backward. This, he says is shown by
the fact that the additions on confess
sion of faith for the Presbyterian
churches in the United States were
only 1000 less than in the previous
year When the Cumberland Church
consolidated, a couple OF years ago,
with the Presbyterian Church it
brought to the latter an additional
membership Of about 100000. The
total contributions OF the Presbyterian
churches last year were s21,2S0. .429.
This year they were $22,099,S21.
The report issued by DR.. Roberts
shows that there are now 1O,017
churches. against 11,0S2 in 1907, and
l,300,S29 communicates, as compared
with 1,S41.492 in 1907. The synods
have decreased from 81 TO SO and the
presbyteries from S5S TO 279.
