The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-02-13

Since the days when Chief Johnson and Biebel were newcomers in the department there have been naturally many changes in fire fighting and the equipment used for it. Horse drawn apparatus has given way almost uni versally to the motor equipment while the force of men used has increased ten-fold. Water power, which in old days frequently caused considerable trouble in fighting fires, has now been rendered. powerful enough Especially when aided by pumping apparatus.
 Tire bugs" a term we seldom hear nowadays, were also frequent cause of trouble in bygone days, even in this city, where around 1889 the activ- ities of one or more of these had the city fire department considerably "on the jump" authorities in 'S7 holding that the Winter Quarters fire was started by one of these persons.
 Among the steps in advance Of which Chief Johnson is particularly proud is the Fire Prevention bureau. which the chief states is one of the best means of fire fighting in the country.
 Its a great deal better to stop a fire before it starts,'' said the chief '1besides being 8 great deal easier, and that's just what the Fire Proven ton bureau accomplishes. Bridgeport today is in far better condition as re- gards fire risk than it was severa, years ago and the work being done by the bureau is telling more mark edly every day. While our up-to-date apparatus and efficient firemen have much to do with keeping down the fire loss every year, I think that the preventive work Is entitled to a great big share of the honors"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-02-13

In active service in the Bridgeport Fire Department since July g. 1883, and still "going strong" is the rec ord of Herman 9iebel, 370 Union avenue, supply truck driver in the department at present. According to information gathered about the de- partment, Biebel is still as active and hardworking as any man on 'he force and gets away with his days share of work in the same manner as he did when he was first on the department roster.
 During his 37 years service in the Fire Department Biebel has attended most of the large fires and although he has been slightly hurt on several occasions has never yet been "laid up" as the result of an accident.
 Biebel was appointed to the de- partment under the regime of Chief Gerdenier and since then has seen the following chiefs in rule: Boards ley, Coffin, Mooney and Johnson, the last named now holding office.
 BiebeTs first assignment was to Hook and Ladder No. 4, located in Middle street, at that time there be- ing but two or three men actually on duty in a company, the remainder of the force being call men.
 BiebeI afterwards became driver of Steamer No. 8. which he drove for many years, until 1915, when he be- came driver of the supply truck of ;he department.
 Among the large fires which Biebe! attended in the course of his duties were the Howe shop fire, in '83, in which the whole factory was burned down; the Townsend Lumber Co. fire: 13 IET1 ,-1-- fire in '87, in which damage of $45,- GOO was done; the famous Barnum Winter Quarters fire in 'S7, where the loss was $500, 900, and the Bridge port Forge Co. fire, in 1903, where the loss amounted to $1O0,000.
 While Biebel had several narrow escapes, as does any man who is in the fire service for any length Of time, he figures that his closest one was on the old Congress street bridge when he was driving the steamer and the draw was open- Only quick work in bringing the horses to a stop saved Biebel and the rest of the men on the engine.
 At another time in a Main street fire heavy cornice fell from the roof and struck Biebel a glancins blow across the back and shoulders but here again his lucky star helt good anid although somewhat lame from the blow he sustained no serious injury.
 Although Chief Daniel F. Johnson has not seen as much service as Biebel, who Is longest in the depart ment of any man on the force, the chief has been on active duty sincs 1889, six years after BiebeTs appoint inert. When Chief Johnson entered the department there were but 15 ol 20 men on active duty while now the! number approximately 250.
 A rather curious coincidence Is tha Chief Johnson, head of the Fire de paTtrnent, entered service in thi, branch of the city service the sam year and within a month or two tha Superintendent Redgate, head of tn Police department, entered tha branch of work Both men started fl 1889 and both now head their respec tive departments, Johnson being ap pointed chief on Aug. 1, 1915, an Redgate superintendent June i. 1916.

these noisy insects will be more nu-

kinds of Cicadas. Some of these

however, that has always attracted
attention because OF its periodic APP
pearance in enormous numbers.
This one is known as The Periodi-
cal Cicada.
Different Races of Periodical CT
cadas. Most of the Periodical CT
cadas that occur in the northern
states require II years to complete
their life cycle and therefore belong
to the 17-year race. In the south
ern states most of them belong to
the 13-year race. that is they appear
every Is years,
Different broods: OF both the 49,
year race and 17-year race there are
quite a number of different brOods.
All the periodical cicadas of the IT,
year race appearing in any year be-
long to one brood, those appearing
the ne1t year belong to another
brood and so on until the II years
are up when the next geneaation OF
the LIST brood makes it's appearance.
As representatives of the 17-year race
appear at some place every year,
there are II different broods. These
have been numbered from l to II.
The different broods OF the 49,
year race have been given numbers
from Is to 80. Brood Is appeared
last year 1919. Brood IS occurs
this year 1920. 1t will appear in

insects in this state.

History of brood ~ (the 1920
brood This brood of the periodi-
cal cicada has been known since
1903. 1t has appeared every l3
years since then. It's last occurance
was in 1907 and this brood will not
be seen or heard again until 1888.
Life cycle. Within weeks after
the cicadas appear they begin lay
ing their eggs in the twigs of trees
and shrubs. The eggs remain in
these twigs for 6 or weeks when
they hatch into very active little in
sects that soon drop to the ground
and penetrate below the surface to
begin their long subterranean life.
They obtain their nourishment by
sucking juices from the roots of
plants. During the Is years each
cicada molts 5 times. Always dur
ing the last week of May of the 18th
year great numbers of these insects
leave their homes in the ground and
dig their way to the surface. Each
one crawls up a nearby tree and
molts its skin for the last time.
Please send in specimens and in
formation. The Etomology Depart
ment is anxious to learn the date of
the earliest appearance of these in
sects in all counties of the state and
to obtain as many specimens as
correspondents will send in. Place
