Peculiar Fish,

Very common in the mud flats at the
mouth of rivers in tropical Africa,
Asia and northwest Australia are the
mud-skippers, or jumping gobies,
which leap about quickly, using their
tails and the strong base Of their fore
fms as a sort of dOuble-hopping in
stIument. Sometimes they rest on q
stone with their tails in the water,
as they are able to breathe by their
tail fin us well as by their gills! Some
times they sit perched high and dry
ON the roots Of the mangrove trees,
looking round and round with their
strangely protruded, mobile eyes,
which are close together on the top
Of the head.

Sew London, Aug. 20-When the new rt1ple action fire apparatus for the Same- arg EnE+ne company arrives in ole very near future, the New London volunteer fire department will be completely mo- i=rg-d. Ttere are eight fully organized a1f. equiP:.d fire companies each having a f.1il quota of active fre-1ghtsrs, ready ;o respond 10 the first toot of the fire whlsne. These firemes do not make q run for the hrehouse as in the old days, lIt direct to the box which the fire ti arm was sent in. The apparatus of

 makes the start just as soon as the first r..and is completed, and this unity of ::..loa always insures a big working force 4t fires. In cases of necessity ..herc beie is more or less shifting of lines of hose, o- where there is consid- erl.b.e work to do at fires. nnder the sIew I1endoE volunteer system there is always an adequate working force. This does not obtam in small cities with paid departments Claim is made that the local apparatus rolls as quickly as in any paid department, as there are driv- CTS on duty every minute of the twenty f0ar hours of each day, and crews can be summoned for nearly every company, before the end of the first round of the alarm and that means before the ap- paratus can start, as the location of the box from whence comes the alarm must be first known.
 New London is not great big city, six miles square, and therefore the fire distances are not so very long and any part Of the city can be reached in re- : markedly quick time by the motor ap- Baratus. This was demonstrated some raars ago, when a test alarm was. sent
 T from Ocean beach, in the southern
 ';remity of the city. All companies
 rere not supplied with motor apparatus @, that time, but the Niagara machine . rave demonstration of what could be done duing regular day traffic hours ] Within eleven minutes the machine made the run from the fire house tc the beach and had water playing through two lengths, or 100 feet of hose Wha 1 the Niagaras and then. almost all tht ] companies of today can do now NJ i paid department could make better time on bet.

The new Mag

 It may not be generally known tha the first motor-fre apparatus to be uset by any fire company in the Unitet States, was purchased by the Niagara it's use given over to the city, and fo
 twelve years it did fire service, ant
