EGYPT: A DIAMOND MINE
OF HISTORY

Egypt annually supplies the world
with a precious product, an increasing
knowledge of the early life story Of
the human race. In the wonderful
record Of exploration which has re-
stored to us the civilization Of the
great pre-classical nations, there is no
more remarkable chapter than that
which tells Of the resurrection Of an
Client Egypt. A communication to the
National Geographi" society by James
Baikie says:
1.-THE science of Egyptoiogy, which
is slowly and patiently reconstructing
for us the ordered history Of the 5000
years before Christ, enabling us to see
the types of men. the manner Of life,

customs and beliefs Of period after

of Egypt, dating from the reign of
Ptolemy Philadelphus, In the third CEN

the works of various ancient authors.

tlan monarchs, and he left lists Of the
names Of the kings In each Of these
dynasties, together with occasional

KIPLING SETTING NOW
NEWS BACKGROUND

The Simla Hills of Kipling fame and
the interesting Punjab, country again
were brought to public attention this
year by reports of riots among nations
who had been aroused by the rumored
destruction Of the golden temple Of
Amtitsar. a principal city of this pro
vince.
Punjab is a Persian word meaning
"five waters" and refers to an area
in India, about the size of Oregon be-
tween the Jhelam and the Sutlej,
drained by three intermediate streams.
These rivers empty into the Indus,
which forms the western boundary OF
the state.
Situated at the northwest gateway
Of India, the Punjab has for ages been
the Belgium of most of the military
expeditions from the west and the trail
OF many migrations. For this reason
its peoples - Mohammedans, Sikhs.
Hindu Jats, Kashmiris and Rajputs,
all belonging to the tall, fair Indo-
Aryan stock-are not so sluggish In
temperament and ways of living as
those In other parts of the country.

THE EVOLUTION OF FIRE
FIGHTING

The passing Of the hre horses from
Manhattan island and the installation
of high-pressure water system In
Boston to eliminate even the fire en-
CINE are further steps in the stage Of
progress from the romantic days Of
the picturesque old hand tubs. Older
folk may remember when citizens
tricked themselves out In red shirts
and glazed caps and carried torches
in the front Of procession, or formed
part Of the bOdyguard Of the gallant
old tub as 1t paraded the streets on a
gala occasion. Then. passion for fire
fighting ran % a high pitch and argu-
ments were waged about the merits Of
particular engines. Today the throbs
Of q mot0r-driven engine are taking
the place Of those heart throbs. The
horses that might have clattered from
their stalls, glided beneath their har-
ness, and raced gloriously through The
drizzly, night-darkened streets before
the fre-spitting demon, are drawing
farm wagons or blowing the field.
In by-gone days communities were
dependent upon volunteers, and men
from all social ranks gave valuable
time to qualify for the service.
Fire fighting In some sort Of organ
Ned form Is ancient. Machines for
throwing water from a distance we're
known, according to our first clear evil
dence, In the second century before
Christ. Heron Of Alexandria, 200
years before the Christian era, In an
old manuscript which has escaped de-
struction, described q hydraulic ma
chine used In Egypt during the tine
Of the Ptolemies. It was composed Of
two brass cylinders resting on q WOOD
en- base with pistons fitted into theA-
In its principles practically like our
present engine. Like most other
knowledge, this was lost In the dark
ages which followed.
The Romans had squads Of men
TO carry water In "hamae," or light
vases. to the scene Of an outbreak
where II was projected onto the fire
by those In charge Of the "s!phones'
or hand pumps. The precise nature
Of this instrument has not been deterS
mined. but from specimens found In
excavations IL must have been much
like the old-fashioned syringe used by
gardeners. These large organizations
Of men gave the Roman authorities
trouble by their turbulence. Trajsn.
the Roman emperor. and Pliny. at that
time one Of his governors, had long
and serious correspondence over the
advisability Of organizing Are depart
ments In the cities under Pliny's juris-
diction, leading to the conclusion that
such groups would attain sufficient
strength to be q menace to the gov
eminent.
Mention Is made Of the medieval
use Of forcing pumps on fire engines
at Augsburg In 1913. England and
the countries OF the continent were
using hand squirts and syringes at
this time. America tsok her ideas
from the English.
