THE AUTOMATIC FIRE ALARM
What L Is ard What It Has Accom-
phshed.

It was in 1873, nearly forty years ego.
when, after many years OF labor and
costly experiments. William B. Watkins.
OF South Orange, y. j.. brought TO public
attention the first practical efficient and
successful automatic system OF FIRE pro-
lection the world ever knew.
This system OF IRE protection was
known as the Watkins System, and ac-
compushed its purpose by means Of
small Instruments known as thermo-
stats. or heat detectors, placed upon the
ceiling OF a building at stated intervals.
These were connected TO q transmitter
by electric wiring. so arranged that
when a FIRE broke out the nearest ther-
mostats would promptly operate and set
In motion the transmitter. This being
connected by electric circuit 10 a cen
tral ofice or the Fire Department head
quarters would then announce the ex-
lstence OF the FIRE By sounding a gong.

was recorded on paper. Purely auto
matte In all It's operations, requiring no
human aid and serving as a faithful
watchdog while others slept. the Wat
kins Fire Alarm System rendered inval-
liable service TO the public by its efficient
protection from ire.
That was nearly forty years ago.
Since then the brains and life work OF
many men and the expenditure OF hum
dreds OF thousands OF dollars have con-
centrated In an effort 70 improve the
original device. and the system has been

that it is the original stone on which
the patriarch Jacob rested his head
on the plain of Luz, whence it was
carried to Egypt, and was afterwards
brought to Spain by Getha1us. the son
of Cecrops, who had been banished to
Egypt from Athens by his father, and
who married Scotia a daughter Of
Pharaoh, flying with her to Spain, in
order to escape the plaques. and taking
the stone with them. From Spain it is
said to have been transported to Ire

their descendants. Biologists. how

Scottish origin and was quarried in
ancient times out Of the sandstone Of
that country.
A Gaelic prophecy was originally
inscribed on the stone by king Ken

If fate speak sooth, where'er this
stone be found.
The Scots shall monarchs Of that
