CHIEF voETscH's REPORT.
Head of Houshton Department Makes
Yearly Summary of Work.

Chief Louis Voetsch of the Hough-
ton fire department has just complet-
ed his annual report of the activities
Of his department. The report shows
that the department was called out 2S
times during the fiscal year ending
April 1, % of these alarms having
been received through the regular fire
phone alarms.
Seven fires were extlnguished by the
use OF chemicals and water was the
means employed in putting out IL
others. The rest of the calls were
either for false alarms or else the fires
had been put out before the arrival of
the department upon the scene. The
total mileage travelled by the depart
ment during enc year is computed to
have been about Al and the hose laid
totals 6,250 feet.
Seven of the rest were caused by
sparks, defective nues were blamed
and four were of unknown origin. The
fire doing the greatest amount of dam
age-in fact the only severe fire of the
ycar-was that of the Miller ware
house. which loss was about $4,000.
Next TO this in point of loss was the
fire i'm the village hall, the damage
here being s1S7.5O. The total fire dam
ages for the year are given as $6,291.5O
Of which there was insurance to the
extent of $4,1S1.50. making the net loss
fire at Dr. Hubbard's garage is not in
cluded i'm this report, because it is out
side the village limits.

Y. M. c. A. GETS SUPPORT
FOR NEW LYCEUM ICOURSE

During the performance of the Vas
sar Girls last evening, Secretary wes-
termann OF the Y. NJ. G. A. took occa-
sion to say a few words concerning
the course that was being completed
that evening, and also to impress upon
his audience the fact that If future
lyceum courses are to be arranged
here, the support of Calumet is needed.
In response to this statement, no less
than 242 persons pledged themselves
to purchase season tickets for another
season of lyceum attractions. Mr..
westerman promised to bring the
matter before the board of directors at
its next meeting and 1t is believed
the board will take favorable action in
arranging a new course.
The Vassar Girls were the attraction
at the Calumet theater last evening
and the theater was filed to capacity.
II was a most successful ending of
the lyceum course.
OF the production itself nothing but
words of praise can be said. The
fiirls, eight in number, fulfilled all Of
the many promises i'm n brilliant and
novel entertainment, winning enthu-
siastic applause time and time again.
These talented and attractive young
women exhibited unusual proficiency
as instrumentalists, and the vocal eff
forts of one of the party was partic-
ularly pleasing. One of the features
OF the evening was the saxophone rem
ditions by quartette and sextette.

British Scientists Now Are Applying
Electricity to Fish Ponds az
Experiment.

London.-The latest experiments in
applying the electric current to grow
Ing plants and flowers, as reported by
Prof. ]. II. Priestley, OF the botanical
laboratory at Bristol university, tend
to show that the current not only ac-
CELEBRATES the growth, but also In some
ways improves their health, and
makes them stronger and better able
to resist disease.
The precise action of the current is
not yet fully understood. There is a
difference In the color of electrified
and non-electrified growing wheat, the
former being a darker green in conse-
quence of the plants obtaining more
nitrogen from the air. The increase
In yield of wheat under electrical cul-
tivatlon amounted In one case to al.
most one-third.
The current, as a rule, is conducted
by wire from the generating station,
or power house, to the field and there
raised to very high voltage before
distribution over the field on wires
attached to poles 10 feet high. Escap-
ing from the wire to the ground, the
current passes through the plants and
SO completes the circuit. In cloudy or
foggy weather there is a greater cur.
rent escaping from the wires. The
cost OF the electrical stimulation is
not as great as that of stimulation
