The Prediction of Chicagos For
mer Fire Chief
TOLL EELY ON HOSE COMPANIES
In the Near Future Cltien Will Hav
Separate Inmplng StntioiiH audi
Water Mains With Wlilch to Fight
Flames Says William II Slusham
Success of Sprinkling System
Within fifteen years there probably
will not be a lire engine In service in
the United States The method of fire
lighting is being revolutionized and
the big cumbersome lire engine will
soon be relegated to the scrap heap
The foregoing is the prediction of
W n Mushani a former flre chief
while recently attending the annual
convention of the National Firemens
association In Kansas City Mr Mu
sham was chief of the Chicago fire de
partment for four years and first as
sistant chief of that department for
seventeen years He was let out of the
department last October for political
reasons after being In the fire service
for thirty years says the Kansas City
Star
In the future fires will be fought by
hose companies said Mr Musham
The best fire fighters in the United
States have come to realize they can
not depend on the fire engine for the
protection of property interests from
flre
The change which is under way now
Is this The big cities are preparing to
Install separate pumping stations for
fipe service whereby a high pressure
supply can be Instantly obtained in
case of fires and maintained for any
length of time What the cities will do
and must do is to lay separate lire
mains and legislate to force owners of
big buildings and factory plants to in
stall water mains within the buildings
With high water pressure hose compa
nies which can reach fires in almost
half the time that a fire engine can are
able to do better work and get quicker
results The hook and ladder compa
nies of course will always be in serv
ice and for reserve purposes the water
towers will be utilized But who can
stop fires with water towers The se
cret of successful fire fighting is to get
at the flame from within the building
and this is why the light hose compa
nies quick in action are to become
chief reliance of the fire departments
Fire engines were never a success
They are too heavy f bulky and slow in
action They often fail to throw a
strong stream of water and the failure
has never been more noticeable than
in the history of Chicago Many large
fires in my city could have been pre
vented had we had hose companies
which could have arrived at the scene
of the fire in time to check the fiamts
There is no city in the United
States which has more rapid progress
In this movement than Kansas City
Here you have the high water pressure
without the separate water system it
Is true and twenty onehose compa
nies I am told that the few engines
in service are becoming rusty You
dont need them for your hose compa
nies prevent fires of consequence In
the future the aim of fire chiefs will be
toward preventing fires by quick action
and not by extinguishing them after
great loss of property or life
There are few new devices for fire
fighting excepting some patent The
newest feature is the sprinkling sys
tem which has been generally adopted
and is a success The device has been
the means of preventing many large
fires
JIarmosctfl a Society Fart
Marmosets may not be things o
beauty but society women must have
them it seems particularly in Boston
says the New York Press One matron
from the Hub who was seen at the
Womans club In New York recently
carried one of these little animals
tucked up her sleeve About its neck
was a tiny jade circlet curiously carv
ed and edged with gold Of course the
idea of a Boston club woman carrying
a pet of this kind tickled the fancy of
many and called forth some Invidious
comments from the cynics The wo
man however seemed to enjoy the
commotion she caused and exploited
the charms of the treasured marmoset
dwelling on the intelligence behind his
shining eyes Since these animals have
become popular their price has gone
up but many women say that a paltry
few hundred dollars isnt too much to
pay for a toy that gives them so much
delight
Novel Wooden Wedding Gift
When Mr and Mrs William D
Green of East Orange N J celebrat
ed their wooden wedding a few
weeks ago they received numerous
gifts from their friends says an Bast
Orange special dispatch to the New
York Times There was some surprise
when one of the guests made the an
nouncement that he and several others
had decided to present them with an
automobile garage Complications
arose over the erection of the structure
Inasmuch as the building code of East
Orange prohibits a garage within thirty
feet of a dwelling and the plans of the
donors had not taken the law into con
sideration New plans were drawn
which came within the law and now
the garage is in use
Whale Blent Instend of Beef
Newfoundland is developing a new
industry in the form of selling whale
meat in place of beef says the New

that the new meat tastes more like
venison than beef and plans are al
ready being made to ship some to Eng
land where it Is expected that it will
sell for at least 12 cents a pound
WILD BABOONS
An Incident Which Illiifrtratcfi the
Caution of tlie Animals
to of the farm boys drew our at
tention to what seemed little more than
a couple of dark specks on the slope
of the hills to the right but we could
soon see that they were moving and
when they came within half a mile of
us we could distinctly recognize them
as a herd or baboons
The boy said that he was quite sure
they were on their way to the water
but to our surprise they did not make
any advance A quarter of an hour
elapsed half an hour still no sign of
their approach All at once as If they
had started from the earth by magic
at the open end of the pond not sixty
yards from our place of ambush stood
two huge males
When or how they got there no one
could tell Frobably they had come
by a circuitous way through the val
ley or it might be that they had crept
straight down through the grass They
had certainly eluded our observation
Being anxious to watch the move
ments of the animals and to ascertain
whether they belonged to the herd
playing under the mimosas I refrained
from firing and determined to see
what would follow next Both baboons
sprang toward the water and leaning
down they drank till they were satis
fied Then having gravely stretched
themselves they solemnly stalked
away on all fours in the direction of
the herd There was little doubt there
fore that they belonged to the herd
and had been sent forward to recon
noiter for as soon as they got back
the entire herd put Itself in motion
toward the pond
There were mothers taking care of
their little ones there were half grown
animals the boys and girls of the com
pany At first only one baboon at a
time came to the waters edge and
having taken its draft retired to the
rest -but when about ten had thus ven
tured separately they began to come
in small groups leaving the others roll
ing and jumping on the sand Youths

ODD FACTS ABOUT DEER
Womlcrfnl Jumpers With n MisrvelJ
otis Sense of Smell
Deer are Avonderful jumpers as may
be imagined says a writer I have
seen a hind clear fifteen feet or so and
buck as high as a tall man merely to
avoid a small drain and also at a
drive I have seen a stag jump clean
over one of the beaters taking a fence
at the same time There is still ex
tant the record of a famous leap made
by a stag down on the borders of Et
tick during a hunt by one of the old
Scottish kings The place is known
as the Harts Leap and is commemo
rated by two stones which the mon
arch had erected to mark the spot
They measure twenty eight feet apart
Deer have a marvelous sense of
smell With a strong wind blowing
they will scent a man a mile off Yet
though their powers of scent are mar
velous I confess to having had one
illusion quickly dispelled From read
ing various old books on the subject I
had come to regard their sight as
something quite abnormal and fondly
imagined that on spying deer say a
mile or so away a cautious advance
was necessitated after the manner of
our ancient enemy the eerpent
Now though deer do have good
sight they are certainly inferior in this
respect to the roe and so long as you
keep perfectly still will have great
difficulty in detecting you Improved
this again and again one July when
trying to obtain photographs of wild
deer I did not get any photographs
though plenty of experience but I was
often lying within fifteen yards of
deer without their being conscious of
my presence
Perpetual Noon
One of the oddities of our system of
reckoning time is exemplified in the
question as to what time the north
pole keeps In theory all places on one
meridian of longitude keep the same
time therefore the north pole being
the central point of all meridians must
necessarily have all times Should the
pole ever become habitable the resi
dent would be able to have day or
night at any hour in theory by elect
ing to take his time from a meridian
to correspond Should such an unex
pected event ever occur there would
have to be made some readjustment of
our present system of reckoning time
to suit the arctic regions
PUotoprrapljinsr Iiifflitiiiiis
An English writer tells how light
ning sits for its photograph Light
ning can only be photographed at
night It is also impossible to use any
cap or shutter for this work inasmuch
as the eyes do not observe a flash of
lightning till at least a tenth of a sec
ond after it has passed So that hav
ing focused your camera beforehand
draw the shutter and hold the camera
in the direction you think the flash
will take and you must trust to the
courtesy of the lightning to be there
