The Niassras get nearly all the still alarms and therefore have about eight times as many runs as the other fire companies. and it is not at all sur prising that there is rare delay by reason of some little dihrrangement of machinery. and this should not be cause sufficient for knocks from even the prejudiced. In the larger cities with modern paid fire departments there is occasional mishap to fire ap- paratus. and even in New London the horse drawn fire vehicles are not en- tirely free from accidents. So it is time that unjustihed criticisms of the best frehghting machine New Lon don ever had was at an end.

With the waning of the good old summer time the people of New Lon- don begin to realize what it means 10 be without a summer hotel to take the place of the burned Pequot house and the need of a really first class h itcl at she seashoTe. New London has, by reason of its excellent loca- ton long ago gained a reputation as summer resort. but assummer resort without an ideal summer hotel is Ike unto the old reference made to the play of Hamlet with the principal character eliminated
 To be sure. there Is a large colony of summer cottagers. and all that, but there Is no accommodation for the regular or transient boarders. and this large class of heretofore welcome vis- itors are now compelled to go else where to find rest, recreation and en- joynent of the sea breezes and marine scenery.

The absence of a suitable summer hotel has also had the effect of eaus- ing New London to be omitted in the malxe-uup of the annual cruise of the New York yacht fleet, for the first time since the formation Of this club. more than half a century ago. This summer hotel project is a matter Of supreme importance to New London and should receive some attention of the band of boosters who are engaged in laudable work for the upbuilding of the indus trial interests of the city.
 It was in the old fogy days, referred to by some of the up-to date pushers of today. that such men as John Bish- ep and Thomas Fitch. mentioned else where in this correspondence, built the old Pequot house and advertised New London as a watering place and now it would be well for the modern boosters of the town to get together and try and continue the good work along that line that was so well start ed by their grand -daddies.

This machine has done especially qood service many times for which no credit has been given, but when there was an occasional disarrange- ment of some little part Of the ma chinery the incident was reported in detail and always with a big black heading. Now this is all changed. as was very notable during the present week. when deserved praise was given the work of the machine in the big black heading as well as in the body of the report.
 This was in connection with the fire at the residence of Henry R. Bond, where the Niagaras succeeded in put ting out the fire without the knowl- tdge of Mir Bond. who has been con- fined to his home for long time with sickness. Within six minutes from the time the telephone number of Niagara was found in the directory the ma chine was at the Bond residence and the run was made up grade for nearly the whole distance of nearly a mile. The actual time from the receipt of the call to arrival was not quite Ave minutes. That's going some for a vol- unteer department.

Although some people have trav- elled out of their way to knock the Niagara autpmobile chemical and hose wagon, and encouraged in their knock ing by the unjustihable reference oc- casionally made against the machine by prejudlced newspaper reporters. it is now. after a trial of five years. convincingly demonstrated that 1t is the most efficient apparatus In the department and has saved many times it's cost and maintenance to the citi- zers of New London.
 This fire fighting machine was pur- chased ard is owned by the Niagara company but Is chased as a part Of the regular department and Is even scheduled in the property list of the department This is just as the Niagaras desire that it should. for as soon as the machine was put into com mission it was placed subject to the orders of the chief engineer and thus it has remained ever since.

For underground surveying and mine
inspection, the use CT acetylene is of
great Importance. Maps and records
escape the usual accompaniment of
grease and smudge. The acetylene
flame is so small and clear that it af-
fords an accurate point on which to
sight instruments.
Another use for acetylene in some
what larger units is found where the
rays are concentrated by reflector, in
which case brilliant illumination can
be thrown into inaccessible places where
distant bays, high backs, caved places
and other difficult and otherwise hidden
parts of the mine can be explored with
convenience and in case of emergency
without danger.
In actual practice it has been found
that four ounces of calcium carbide at
cents per pound will give nearly 10
candle power clear illumination with
out smoke for hours. One-ha pound,
or cents worth, will give the same H.
Elimination for 10 hours. Candles in
many parts of the country, counting
four candles to the 1O-hour day, would
cost cents per day.
Acetylene miners lamps are now FREE
quently found in mines throughout the
country. Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Illinois leading, though many other
States are using the new light. The
greatest number used by any one con
Germ in its mines is probably by the
New Jersey Zinc Company of New York,
which has adopted acetylene illumina.
ton for all it's mines. The number Of
miners lamps in use in the mines oil
this company is about .3000 aud it has
been found in practical use that the
saving is at least cents per day for
every miner. The whole method of use,
ing acetylene is so simple and the lamps
now in practical use are so satisfactory
that the subject Of better illumination
in mines, is worthy of the attention Of
every mine owner and engineer. The
Iron Age.
