DROWNING OUT A FIRE.
High Prassura Water Streams That
Taar Down Room Partitions)
Juit think of picking up n pond or
a small reservoir contnlnlug nbout 80,.
000 gallons of water and throwing It
bodllr at a fire and then picking up
another pond or reservoir containing
tba ROtno amount of water nnd throw
Ing that at tho lira within n tnouicnt'n
tlmo, and keeping up this pcrfonnanco
vrr minute for an hour until tho flro
Is drenched with nearly 2,000,000 gnl
Ions of woterl Quito a "bucket bri
gade" h?
Practically that Is what tho Now
York flro department does toriny with
Its, high pressure system, for with this
method of wntcr supply tho firemen
can obtain 80,000 gallons of water n
mlnuto and, If noccsitary, nt a tnnxi
mum prcssuro of 800 pounds to tho
quart Inch sufficient prcssuro or
"pushing power" behind tho stream to
carry it from tho street to tho top of
an eight story building or oven higher.
It has tho greatest possible nilvnutngo
over the "throwing" method, nlnco tho
firemen, with tho aid of their water
towers and monitor nozzles, can direct
right Into tho heart of tho flro this lire
mense volumo of water enormous
atrtama that ninnsh windows, tear
down partitions, sweep nsldo mcrchan
dts and squirm, twist nnd force them
aclvofl Into ovcry nook nnd corner of
a building, searching out tho flro bet
ter; than tho firemen can and nmothcr
Ing, It before It can reach tho danger
mark.
And this Is why that In n portion of
New York city noted n few years ago

THE CORNCOB PIPE.
At Tlmss It's nliky, and It Doesn't Qo
Well With a Ollk Hat.
Tho corncob plpo Is n democratic In
atltutlon. Ono urldvncoof tlio fattthat
tlibi country Is not ho democratic as
foreigner bollovo Is that, according to
tho codo of nn American kciiIIciiiiiii
the corncob plpo must not bu smoked
while wearing n silk hat. On tliu oth
er hand, It may bo for this reason that
Americans no soldoiu affect tho mlk
tut
Ilut somo men And dllllculty
adapting themselves to tho "Missouri
meerschaum." They contend that tho
flrst puff from a uuw corncob pipe Is
llko a breath from tho nether regions,
This amnion nrlxcs from tho cliciiin
tanca that, llko a hK)iiki u now cob
plpo saould tx dipped In water lieforo
It Is used. After tlio first pipeful of
tobacco has been auioked It will bo
found that a liberal coat of tt alien has
attached ttrtotf to tho walls of tlui pipe,
rendering It llioreafler much less like
ly to burn thu loiiguu than If It wero
Initiated without thu formality of Imp-
tlsm.
Thero 1 ono place, however, whern
tlio cob plHi Is distinctly daiigcriius
and that Is In tho mouth of n begliim
In tho mellow art of miioklng. Moth
era who dread tho day when their nous
shall feel obliged to iiMert their en
trance Into man's rstnte by acquiring
a tasto of tobacco will do well to buy
a corncob plpo and leave It carelessly
about tho houso. In tlmu It will bo
missed. Ho will tho boy's nppetllo.

Julius Caesar was ho much afraid of
