# the horse service rendered in re- sponge to the fire alarm sent Tuesday

# the horse service rendered in re- sponse to the fire alarm sent Tuesday morning from box 27, corner of Gran ite street and Chester avenue, were the standard. there would be no change from horse drawn to motor driven fire apparatus in the Westerly fire district. Before the third round of the alarm was completed, both the Cyclone hose wagon and the Alert Hook and Ladder company were away from the ire house and at top speed to the fire, going up the steep grade of Granite street at as fast a gait as could req sonably be expected. Each of the ap- paratus had a fair sized working crew, ready for immediate duty if the occasion required.
 The cause of the alarm was a chim- ney fire in the house No. Is Summer street, owned by Miss Eliza Fay, who occupies the lower tenement the up Der one being leased to James Sloane. A line of water hose was laid as a precautiOn, but was not used. In short order a ladder was set up and a chimney, which was emitting a large volume of smoke but no fiery sparks. First pyrene was shot down the chim- ney but with little effect. Then the chemical was turned on from the Cy clone wagon and the fire was quickly extinguished. No damage to property resulted.
 Either the acid or soda was not of the proper mixture, or there was leak age of the tank, as constant agitation was necessary to give needed pressure TO force the chemical through the hose. and at no time did the indicator record a pressure above 100 pounds. About 8. year ago this same house was one of a cluster that was damaged by fire.

The Dock rotary pump, the invention Of Herman Dock of Westerly, is being put to an unusual endurance test, far beyond any that will come to the pump in fire service, The test was started at 11.30 Monday morning and the pump is to be in continuous operation for 100 hours, and the inventor declares it will easily stand the test, provided the automobile engine used in the test is equal to the task, There is no doubt about the staying qualities of the pump, as it is impossible for any of the paSts to get out of working order.

MANY USES FOR SALT.

Salt has been used for a variety of
purposes. 1t is the raw material in
soda manufacture, and the basis of
the glaze on pots and pans. But Pro-
fessor Jolly of Dublin used salt in
calculating the age Of the world. His
method had the simplicity of genius.
He first computed the amount of salt
in the sea, and found the quantity to
be enough to replace the whole con-
tinent of Europe. Now all this salt
was brought to the sea by the rivers,
50 his next computation was the
amount of salt transported annually
from land to ocean. A little sum in
long division gave him a quotient of
between ninety and hundred mil
lion. That was the age Of mother
earth, who had deceived Lord Kelvin
into thinking her 25,OO0,OOo of year,
old.

UNoUIET OLD MOTHER EARTH
Of Earthquake Shocks Within
the Last Few Years.

The recent experience of Messina
lends no support to the comfortable
theory that the earth's crust is be-
coming a stable, immoyable thing,
which man may play with as he lists.
That unlucky town has been shaken
by earthquakes four or five times
within as many years, and two shocks
recently occurred within the same
week. These quakes do not seem to
be connected with disturbances at
Mount Aetna--a fact reassuring to
cities built on the slopes of that vol
cano, but not to anyone else.
Nor does the case of Messina stand
alone. 1t is doubtful if any equal
period in history has seen more dis
turbanccs of the earth's surface than
the last thirty years. This period
begins with the eruption of Kraka-
toa in 1888, the most terrific explo-
sion of the kind ever recorded. The
next two years saw a number of
earthquakes in Spain, one Of which
was quite destructive. In 1886 came
the shock at Charleston, S. c.; in
1887 all southern Europe was shak-
en-; 1898 saw the earthquake of
Zante and the eruption of Stromboli,
and in 1902 the frightful eruption
Of Mont Pelee.
The earthquake of San Francisco
came in April, 1906; the much more
destructive shock at Valparaiso fol-
lowed in August; Jamaica was shak-
en- and Kingston almost destroyed
In 1907, and the great disaster in
southern Italy and Sicily occurred
in the closing days of 1908. All this
time Japan has been keeping up the
record of 1000 shocks per year, some
of them destructive ones, and Mex
leo, Alaska, Central America and
Turkey have been visited by earth
quakes and volcanic eruptions.
Mother Earth may be getting old
and feeble, but she doesn't show it.
