A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
THAT SPELLS REVOLUTION
Ii Acts Without Human Aid and Is a
Deadly Foe of lncendiarism.

1t ACTS WtInOuG Truman Niu ana 10 q
Deadly Foe of lncendiarism.
A franchise just granted in New York
works a new and revolutionary departure
in fire alarm methods. 1t is not an ex-
pertinent, but a complete and operating
success.
: The new system is styled the air alarm.
It's basis consists of a small hollow wire
of copper alloy, one-eighth of an inch In
diameter and containing a tiny insulated
wire.
The hollow wire acts as a conductor for
the air whose expansion causes a fire
alarm to sound. The tiny wire Is known
as the trouble wire. If for any reason
the hollow wire is cut or broken, the re-
suit is that an electric circuit is also brok-
en-, which causes the little wire to send
a trouble alarm" to the headquarters Of
the alarm company. Fire headquarters
hears nothing, unless there happens to
be a real fire at the time the wire breaks,
or it cut.
Loops of this inconspicuous hollow wire
are strung around the ceiling or carefully
concealed behind the molding OF the
rooms, houses and buildings to be pro-
tected, the loops ending in a detector,
which consists principally Of a disc, con-
tanning a delicate diaphragm.
If fire starts in a room the air in the
hollow tube eXpends under the influence
Of the heat and operates a sensitive dia-
phragh in the detector, causing 1t to close
an electrical circuit which sets in opera
ton all the marvellous fire alarm ma
chinery.
All the older systems are held largely
defective, due to the use of what is known
as Il "tAermostat," placed at intervals IN
the ceiling. These are constantly exposed
to the effects of the air and the electrical
contacts oxidised, or clogged with dust,
and when needed fail to operate at all, or
only after a raging fire is in full h1ast.
Briefly. the new system scores is main
success in the principle that the best way
to solve the great fire hazard problem Of
the day is to deal with incipient fires in
stead of CONGREGATIONS.
The new system gives IN almost instan-
taneous alarm. If a pair of curtains catch
afire, or even a newspaper, an effective
alarm is given within 10 10 10 seconds.
Moreover, another alarm is rung on a box
outside of the building, which also indi-
Gates the exact location of the fire. Thence
the alarm goes on and directly into the
fire headquarters, where the exact loca-
ton Is also announced. From beginning
to end the system is altogether automa-
tic. This elimination of the human ele-
ment also eliminates the danger of error.

COFFEE HEART

A great many people go on suffering

his experience. as follows:

The pressure of January settlements

vorable to distributive trade construc-

generally was steadier. especially in

He is a good lawyer, a man of good

well qualified for the position. I think.
furthermore, that by reason of his past
associations in politics he is a man up
on whom all Indiana republicans could

BIGGEST POLICEMAN

Especial to THE TINES,

Indiana Harbor. Jan. 21-The East
Chicago police force has busted anoth-
er record. 1t now boasts the tallest
police officer in Lake county in the
person of Frank Jasper of Deodar
street, Indiana Harbor. who stands six
feet seven and a half inches in his
stockings. Mr.. Jasper, being a modest
man. when asked his height always
replies that it is five feet nineteen and
half inches. AS Officer Jasper is
built on generous proportions aside
from his height. weighing $50 pounds.
he is expected to be some officer. He
assumed his new duties last night, tax
ing the place Of officer John Maldrow-
ski, resigned.
Mr. Jasper's first experience on the
East Chicago force was fraught with
incident. He was assigned with OFF,
Ger John Lazar. who is a short. round
man, to travel the beat in the second
ward. Some time after midnight some
one called up the police station and in
a terrified voice declared that the long
and the short man were doing bushes
in the second ward. Sergeant Mike
German dispatched Officer Harry Nam
gle to the scene and when Officer Nan
gle, who has never been accused of
being anything but a brave officer,
deserted what he conceived to be the
two desperate robbers. even he tremb-
led in his boots. One of the men was
indeed worthy of the name of the long
man and the other was short enough,
