POLLING THE FLAMES.
Methods Of Fire Prevention Should Dc

Methods Of Fire Prevention Should Dc
Studied In Every Home.
In bygone days the function of the
chief Of a fire department was merely
to put out fires. Nowadays his duty
is to prevent them.
Originally tireman's work was de-
fensive. Now it is also offensive. 1t
attacks the cause.
Most fires are preventable. Individ-
ual carelessness Is the chief cause.
Education Of the public-even involv-
ing punitive measures-is the remedy.
The simplest method Of getting rid
of fires Is arst to get rid Of things that
burn. Cleanup days. ace no novelty.
They have undoubtedly reduced the
fire loss ratio, but the very fact that
there is need Of an annual cleanup is
proof that the public has not yet been
rightly educated. Once year is not
often enough to wash the public's face
or to brush its teeth and clean out it's
ears. This should be q daily task.
Waste, rubbish and combustibles
should not be allowed to accumulate.
The public education must 60 fur
Their. It should be carried into the
home and should begin with the child.
A periodical lecture or talk given at
least once a moonth in the public
schools by a fireman in uniform would
strike at the very root Of the fire prob
lem. An official in uniform always i'm
presses child, and his remarks and
directions would carry the weight Of
authority These lectures If illustrat-
ed by charts and diagrams would be
more effective and would graphically
present to the child mind not only the
dangers Of fire, but the methods of
prevention and quick extinguishment.
In some cities juvenile police depart
ments have been established with va
ried success, but Juvenile fire depart
ment, whether organized or merely ex-
listing in the educational equipment of
children to prevent and extinguish
fires, would be one Of the most ad-
vanced steps taken toward the con-
servation of human life and property.

HER GIFT OF MImicRY.
Cissie Lotus Could Initiate Irving and

Cissie Lotus Could Initiate Irving and

Walter Prichard Eaton in the Amer

famous mimics:
I'm the days when Cissie LOTUS was
deighting vaudeville audiences with
her limitations she used to give an imi-
tation Of Lillian Russell. Miss Rus
sell countered BY giving an imitation
of Miss Lotus imitation Of her. But
to an artist, like Miss Lotus that pre-
scented no difficulties. She merely came
back with an imitation Of Miss Rus
sells imitation Of her imitation of Miss
Russell! The fair Lillian thereupon
retired from an unequal contest.
"Cissie Lotus could initiate any
body. The present writer once heard
her in the course of a casual CONVERSE
ton initiate most thrillingly Sir Hen
ry Irving in blank verse death scene.
Then an imaginary curtain descended,
and you heard Sir Henry, in totally
different voice (no less Enthusiastically
his), inquiring in very Saxon prose.

without change of costume, with the
flicker of smile on hetas1Rther wistful

that you almost gasped at the uncanny
cleverness Of it, and if you shut your
eyes you could hardly believe that the
actual persons were not present.

nary gift of mimicry, and it brought
her in $1,000 week, much more prob
ably than she could command as an

THE SPEED OF SHIPS.
Influence Of the Depth Of Water and
the "Wavs Of Transi alton"


the "Wavs Of Translation"
On first thought the seas depth
seems of little Importance If the ship
finds depth enough to give her an easy
draft. If she can run free apparently
it makes little difference whether she
has six feet or 600 feet between her
keel and the bottom. Such an infer
ence is, however, erroneous, for the
depth exercises an important influence
The British cruisers Blake and Blen-
helm were expected to run twenty-one
knots, but actually ran two knots less
In shallow water They ran again I'M
der the same power, but the depth
was between 1875 and 165 feet, and
their speed was twenty-five knots, one
knot in excess Of the maximum cal
culation.
The difference in speed is attributed
to the influence Of the wave of trans
lation" displaced by the ship as she
moves forward, which acts as brake
The nearer the ships keel to the bot
tom the stronger the friction. A ship
drawing twenty-seven feet of water
say ship of $4,000 tonnage-feels
that friction over depth of $50 feet
According to some calculations, the
dra gging influence ceases to be felt
at depth equal to ten and one-half
times the draft If the ship stands high
out Of the water.
A curious feature of the matter is
that the speed Of the ship is as impor-
tant an element as the depth of the
water-that is to say, the influence OF
the depth on the ships speed is more
or less powerful in proportion as the
speed is great. A ship increases her
speed more readily over deep water:
but, on the other hand, the faster
ship runs the more depth of water she
requires to prevent the hindrance
caused by the dragging influence OF
the friction which is always felt when
the ships keel senses bottom
Running ten knots an hour, a ship
must have between twenty-six and
twenty-seven feet of depth or she is
dragged from below If running
twenty knots she needs depth Of 1O4
to 105 feet and when running thirty
knots she feels the drag over a depth
Of nearly 324 feet.-E1change.
