一天的话题。
辛辛那提医生显然正在朝着正确的方向工作。他已经在设备上获得了专利,以通过碳酸气体自动运行碳酸气体来扑灭火灾。它不仅是一个自我应用,而且是一个警报。对于一个房间,将水冷却器大小的容器放在一个角落。这部分充满了石灰水。石灰水上方是倾斜的底部或盖子,放在上面放置一个含有硫酸的开放罐。一条绳索以易熔金属的链接的间隔连接到房间的墙壁上,并将可移动的底部固定在适当的位置。这种熔合成分在128度融化,绳索分离,可移动的licl倾斜度,硫酸掉入石灰水中,并以足够数量的数量产生碳酸气体,以在40 x I 5和15英尺高的房间中熄灭火灾。这个过程听起来很警报。对于大型工厂和物业单位,直径四英尺高两英尺的一个发电机就足够了。 By a simple device the gas is conveyed to any portion of the building where the fire maybe. It also sounds a continuous alarm loud enough to wake any one in the neighborhood. The company proposes to places the apparatus in houses gratis, and charge a small rental.
我们收到了最近在纽瓦克(Newark)关于本尼迪克特酋长的某些交易的调查的后期询问函。酋长不幸在最近的一次选举中引起了市议会议员的不满,从那以后,该成员一直在“寻求”酋长。他最近的指控是,该酋长正在为出售托管和防火管逃生而获得委员会,该逃生专为制造业和高层建筑而设计。酋长不仅承认了这一指控,而且从未对这一事实做出任何秘密。逃亡逃逸不是旨在由城市购买的,而是建筑物的所有者。它为在战斗中使用消防员提供了额外的设施,这是任何大型建筑物的一件好事。本尼迪克特酋长拥有出售它们的权利,就像他不得不出售靴子和鞋子,或其他为他的i)家园中使用的东西。他站在这方面,调查委员会维持了他。\'他们的报告是给理事会的,指控被驳回。他的政治对手尚未对他提出任何观点,也不太可能。 One of the greatest evils connected with the Fire Service lies in the fact that in many of the 1)epatnients ever cheap ward politician feels that he has the right to interfere, and the Chief is often obliged to spend half his time fighting to sustain himself and his men. Chief Benedict is conceded to be an able Fireman, an ex cellent executive officer, and a genial pleasant gntlemen. If the politi cians vill let him alone he will give Newark a better Fire I )epartmcnt than the city ever has had. It is now far better than ever before, but more apparatus and more men are wanted, for Newark contains some of the worst fire risks in this part of the country. Chief Benedict is to be congratulated on the result of the recent investigation.
