The protected district •includes 1,450
acme, hi which are laid. fifty-six miles of
heavy east iron mains varying in width
from 12 to 21 inches. Throughout the
area, are (mattered 1,274 hydrants. There
is at leaet one hydrant within 400 feet
of any building in the district. Sixty
streams can be concentrated on any sin-
gle'bkek without using a length of hose
greater than 600 feet. In one day 40,-
000,000 gallons of water eauld he poured
into a single block from these sixty
nozzles.
This places the fire department in the
positiou of having more water than the
men -can handle. Indeed, the present
fear is not that a fire 'wit get 'beyond

Three alarm fires are now a thing of

memory in certabe meets of the city, In-
dividual bravery on the part of the men

quieita under the new order that it was

short order.
Inning the squelching process a row
of blue coated firemen stood diseonso-
lately along the curb across the street
while a handful of men at the nozzlei
of half a dozen high preseure lines pour-
ed 6,000 gallons of water a minute into
the blazing structure. One of the dis-
gruntled. smoke eaters spat disgustedly
and turning to a coinpanioirsaid ;

He was riglit, There was no excite:
meat, no shouting of. orders, no scurry-
ing around of battalion chiefs and lieu-
Li:quints, no hand to hand battle with
the flames. No, indeed! Eire fighting
under the new order is a oold blooded
business proposition entirely devoid of
the old time pictutesque features.
The change will no doubt arouse 3:e-
gret in the hearts of the blue clad men
to whom the smell of smoke was as the
breath of life, but from a purely utili-
tarian point of view the netv method of
fire fighting is a vast improvement over
the old. Insurance rates will be sub.
etantially decreased in the near future.
Fewer men 'will be required under the
new system than under the old. Steam-
ers will be superseded by hose tenders.
Some of the most important :sngine
companies in the down town district
-have already been disbanded. More will
go the same way. All this means a
large saving to the city in the cost Of
maintaining the fire fighting force.
The district at present protected by
the high pressure service extends from
laventy-third street on the north to
Chambers street on the south and from
the Hudson River to Foneth avenue,
the Bowery and Park row. When it
is borne in mind that one idea of the
new system is to provide a means Of

etories in height, instead of in the fin -
uncial and office building district of the
lower end of Manhattan Island, where
twenty story buildings are common.
The reasons for this are many. First
of all the buildings between Chambers
and Twenteethird streets ere not as a
z•ule of fireproof construction. On the
ether hand the new dosvntown skyscrap-
ers ,are of fireproof coestruetion. They
contaiu no combustible material except
office furniture, They have their indi-
vidual systems of fire protection and do
riot as a rule require outside assistance
except in the event of a hig blaze.
A. modern office building has automaa
tie sprinklers, a stand pipe relining its
full height and reservoirs at several lev-
els. The fire apparatus in such a build-
ing is ready for service almost instant-
ly and is able to cope with an ordinary
blaze without assistance,
In very high buildings like the Singer
tower water ie not raised from the base-
ment to the top floor in a single stand-
pipe but is forced to successive levels ten
or fifteen stories apart by easy stages.'
.At the top of the,building and at each

who teerued first to read the Bible in

that. message, and he had been behind
the seenea and had run life's gamut,
and when he spoke the Minim( liatenea.
Tito church was crowded night af-'
ter night and many of tbe morally
good walked forward and kneeled at
the penitent rail. As the nights wore
on and the spbere of the revival's in-
fluence exteridea, some of the rounders
drifted, 140 the back seats, the chaps
who were the last in the barroom, at
closing time and who often stnoti
waiting for 'its opening in the early
morn. They were curious to see the
man who had been a rummy, and who
told the story in such a new and con-
vincing manner..
Some of them were :naves and sick of
the shackles.
'Billy was one of these.
Billy was an all round aport. He
could call the winners fairly well on

of the wad, and was counted a, fine ball

old-time Canadian champions.
But Billy was a boozer and nearly
always carried a still jag, and'got away
with it like a =jot...,
The revival 'went on and one night
in Jimmy Johnsona saloon, on the
market square, Billy said, "Boys, have
one on me, for the last time."
"Are you going to blow? ‘Vhat's
np?" they asked him. Then he told
them that he had been to tichivera's
meeting the night before, and that the
drink he. bold in his hand would be his
last one, They thoughe it was guff,
but it wasn't, for he drank the noose,
threw a stone at the bar in refttsing
another drink by the barkeep mid went
out.
The next night he went to church,
And when the iniitation was extended,
he marched up like a splitter and knelt
