A FIRE INSPECTOR.

The question of fire equipment il
always an appropriate one in Colum-
bia. Persons realize that the fire de.
partment is wofully lacking for a
town of this size. But why not d.
something to prevent fires before tn 81
start?
Many, perhaps most, of Columbia's q
fires are from preventable causes. I'm
proper construction of flues and i'm
proper wiring certainly should be de-
tected before the house has been burn-
ed.
A fire inspector in Columbia would
not prevent fire entirely, but he GER
tainly should be able to diminish their
number. II he made Just one fire I'M
possible that might have taken placs
otherwise. his employment would be
an actual saving of money to the city
even after his salary had been paid.

NO MORE MIDNIGHT OIL.

A device has been invented recently
that does away with burning midnight
oil. 1t is simply fountain pen with
an electric bulb attached near the
writing end. The pen is especially
adapted to the use of reporters, min
listers, detectives, students and all un-
fortunates who are compelled to write
after bed time. With the electric at
tachment one can take notes in the
darkest place. Reporters are said to
fin dthe pen invaluable.
The inventor has found a fl tsub-
stitute for midnight oil. No doubt
the owners of boarding and rooming
houses will welcome the new inven-
tion heartily unless, by some misfor-
tune. they are compelled to furnish
their boarders the electric pens.

THAT OLD SLED.

One of the tragedies of growing up
is to be deprived Of the privilege Of
rushing to the woodshed and bringing
out the old sled on such fine morn
ings as these. More than any other
time, the grown-up boys wish to be
youngsters again when they hear the
merry laughter carried to them on
crisp breezes from the snow-clad hill.
How their blood tingles; how thoughts
of bygone boyhood days rush into
their minds.
In truth, one of the happiest mo-
ments of a boys life, girls too, is
when he trudges up the hill to take
his first sled ride of the winter.
Youthful cares are forgotten. All the
world is full of fun and the boy of
living. Lessons can go and even din.
ner is forgotten if the big hill in
simpin's pasture is "just as slick as
glass;" Even the snow-laden fir trees
sigh the pink-chkeeed boy a welcome
to the hill when he gets out the old
sled. The exhilaration of the first
f1yipo tr;p down tho hill aud tho oc-
casional turn over into the snow drift
is beyond description. 1t is known
only othoss who have had the rare
fortune to own an old red sled.
What pleasure the youngster gets out
of his first coast down the old hill!
II there ever was a duo of Joy, it
is an old red sled and a pink-cheeked
boy.

THE HORSE AND THE MOTOR
Dean Shaw Compares the Power Of
the Two.

Dean shaw Compares the Power Of
the Two.
A good horse can give 7,976,000 foot
pounds of work a day while one
horse power motor can give 47,520.Oo0
foot pounds of work. according to
Dean H. B. Shaw of the School Of En-
gineering. This is more than six times
the energy given out by a horse. A
horse, however, can easily double its
power for a considerable length OF
time and at a difficult passage can
increase 1t tenfold. The gasoline mo-
tor cannot do this. That Is the reason
why we put from 20 to Gu horsepower
motors on automobiles. One horse can
easily pull the average motor car.
The motor must have the extra horse
power to make up for the hard pulls
and for speed.
Another reason for the added horse
power is that it requires eight times
as much power to start a car as 1t
does to keep it in motion at three
miles an hour. The axle offers great
er friction when starting and much
energy is consumed in accelerating the
car.

BUILDING AGAINST FIRE.

BUILDING AGAlNST flkEs
Fire is probably the greatest hazard
of the present-day cities. 1t is true
that storms, floods and diseases often
work havoc, but more is written about
fire than any of the other dangers.
This method of destruction is the
most common, and with it goes enor-
nous loss of property and often life.
Fire losses have become 80 large
and numerous that insurance compan-
les are taking unusual care before
they write insurance in the cities.
The National Board of Fire Under
writer's maintains an inspection corps
to keep it's members Informed, as far
as possible, of those cities and sec
ton where the hazards are the great
est.
This board recommends the build
ing of fire-proof structures, and gives
instructions on the manner of con-
Quoting fire-proof campaigns. Of the
thirteen cities that have been investi-
gated by the corps fexperts, New
Orleans stands at the head of the
list of cities that will probably burn
next" Before the visit of the in
spectors to that city the fire loss was
s427 per capita. Since the visit the
city has been following the instruc-
tions given, and the fire loss has de-
creased to $1.1S per capita. Phila-
delphia, a city that has been built
up with brick and stone buildings,
stands high in the list of the cities
that are more nearly fire-proof.
