PRIEST INvENTs ENGINE.
French Government Interested in
New Chemical Fire Extinguisher.

The French government has bestowed
decoration upon a village priest for in
venting chemical fire engine which.
judging from the press reports. is an ef-
fective machine. The extinguisher con-
sists Of tank containing certain liquid
gases and salts. Pressing a lever mixes
the contents and produces great pressure
which forces the liquid through a nozzle
to a great height The engine will be
placed on the market by company.
The French government is stated to
have ordered several for use in public
buildings Elaborate trials were conduct
ed in the presence of the municipal au-
thorities, chiefs of the fire brigade and
thousands of spectators at Bordeaux. A
stack of packing cases and brushwood
fifty feet high was erected and the pile
soaked with PETROL alcohol, tar and oil.
This pile was set alight and the flames
reached a height of ninety feet. The
chief of the fire brigade remarked that
it would be impossible for the ordinary
engines to put this fire out, but the
priests method was again successful. In
spite of the fact that there was high
wind the flames were extinguished in less
than five minutes.
In Paris an ordinary fire engine played
on one stack of blazing material while
the abbe's engine played OH another of
exactly similar construction. The new
engine was not only very much quicker
in putting out the fire. but when attempts
were made to relight the wood on which
it had been playing they failed. whereas
a few minutes after the work of the ordi-
nary engine was apparently finished the
flames broke out again In the other stack.

The Sense of Obstacles.

From Harpers Weekly.

other senses but it is contrary to existing
evidence to suppose that blind man can

recognizes his interlocutors by their

credited with possessing a special sense.

Paima's successor revived the lottery

100000 of these were left on the gov

Gus battle with devilfish which at
tackled them as they were fishing from
a motorboat near the island on Thurs
day.
Fish were scarce. however, and
there was no excitement until noon
when Sheldon cried out that he had a
wonderful bite. For some time the
line came in easily, but when only a
few yards remained the fishermen
found that their combined efforts
could not bring the fish one inch near
er the surface. Looking over the side
of the boat for the trouble. Sheldon
saw a long tentaCle firmly glued to
the side of the craft. While Price
held the line, Sheldon attempted with
his hands to dislodge the octupuS
from the side Of the boat and in doing
so lost his balance and fell into the
sea. Price Immediately loosed his
hold on the line and moment later
shout from Sheldon announced TO
his excited companion that the devil
fish had got him. Another party of
anglers came to the rescue. Sheldon
was lifted into the boat with the octu-
pus still clinging to his limbs. A
sharp knife loosened the creatures

proudly taken to Avalon.
