Work of the Fireboats.

When a ship takes fire at its dock In
any OF the larger harbors In the coun-
try the fire department is, of course,
notified. The call does not go first to
the engine house nearest the FIRE, but
to the fireboat nearest the fire. The
boats are kept tied up at convenient
points, always ready to depart on a
moments notice for any part of the
harbor. Their pumps are operated
from their own power plant, and since
they pump sea water there is no limit
to their range of activity.-Scientiic

r r PLY has this year seen fewer visitors than last at the Metro,
w poltan Museum of Art. the Aquarium and the New YORK
Geological Garden: The decrease in attendance amounts
TO hundreds Of thousands.
AT the Aquarium and at the Zoo, according TO DR.. Hornaday, the
falling off is due to the fact that many persons who, with their fam
lilies, we're formerly constant visitors VI now enlisted in European
armies.
1t is undoubtedly true that forcign-born citizens in this country
are fonder Of museums and zoos than most native Americans. The
average European family delights to spend its half-holdays looking
at animals, flowers " other collections, particularly if it can do 81
partly in the open air and maybe sit down for a cup Of coffee under
the trees. The instinct for instructive relaxation of this sort is far
stronger among those whose memories take them back to Euro
pean cities.
Would they could teach the habit to all Americans. With one Of
the richest art museums and one Of the finest animal parks in The
world, New Workers do not get a hundredth part of the pleasure they
might from either. They leave it to visitors from out of town or
school children conveyed by teachers to find out the treasures of the
Metropolitan Museum. Many Of them have never seen the admirable
faunal backgrounds which place the New York geological Garden
among the first of its kind.
The loss Of the Morgan art collections is said to have had a
Yet the great building is still crowded with objects of priceless value
and absorbing interest. The Riggs collection of armor alone is worta
journeying a thousand miles to see.
If New Workers would only take the trouble to get acquainted
with their own possessions in the shape of pictures, sculptures, tapes,
tries, gems, plate, flowers, animals, etc, they would discover immense
and inexhaustible stores of pleasure, permanent and independent Of
al private or temporary loans.

IVI who are living in an electrical

From Elektran, the Greek name

Amber was used by the ancient

The Importance of Lorraine

Th- great iron mines OF the Ger
mans in Lorraine are in a narrow
stretch of country some twenty miles
long ana from three to i've miles
in breadth. lying between the Franco
Luxembourg frontier and the River
Orne. In this district German engi-
Letrs have buiit some of their most
formidable defensive works, for IL is
realized that the loss of these mines
would practically seal the fate of
Germany. To hold tho Lorraine iron
mines and the territory taken from
the French which contains iron is
one OF the great objects of German
strategy, and II explains much in
their military tactics which other
wise might seem unintelligible. 1t

authority that were the mining OPP

The foolish old fashioned idea that

uispelled in view of the now recog-

partnership cannot be solved at the
altar: and shat all the vows OF
Chrtstcndom cannot change human
nature.
Each has his separate tastes and
idiosyncrasics and the pleasure of the
partnership can only be prolonged
when each recognizes his and her
claim TO this individual right.
II Is the wise husband who is away
from his home at least some part OF
the twenty-four hours OF the day. II
is much better 10 hire an office or
