ME o F 3 To play solos well on the guitar is difficult. . Rapid _ execution requires much patient study and long practice. In a large concert hall the guitar is out of place for solosâ€"it is essemtia.le:g' for home use. Although a fullâ€"tone instrument will fill a moderateâ€"sized hall, the sweet, soft effects which go so far to add finish are lost. In fixing upon the guitar as the acâ€" companiment, it is not for a moment to be imagined that it is suitable only for that purpose, an idea possessed by too many. Few more beantiful instruâ€" ments exist for solo playing. It is closely allied in tome and capabilities to the hbarp. Of course, the toane is softer and less powerful, but it is inex« pressibly sweet and fascinating. _ _ how very popular on moonlight picnics, sailing parties or any of the many litâ€" tle jaumts and excursions of Summer, is the maiden who can thrum the ‘"Spanish guitar," and enliven the comâ€" pany with music and song.

Bicycles go as bagga%e on railways. In Austria a deposit of $10 must be made. In Belgium 12 per cent. ad valorem duty must be deposited. No deposit is required in Germany, Engâ€" land charges no duty, but compels a deposit to guarantee against sale of bicycles. In nearly all the remaining countries deposits are required, and in Spain a sixâ€"months‘ license, costing 20 cents is required.

The firemen themselives, totally unacâ€" If it should happen, however, that the fire is at some p.ace near which it is impossibie to switch the car then two horse reels, which are in the car at all times, are called into requisition. Each of these reels has wound upon its drum 150 feet of hose. If it is necessary a.l this hose can be coupled to the 100 feet originaily attached to the engine and thus give a continuous line of 400 feet. POWERFUL PRESSURE. One hundred feet of this hose is kept on a rack in the car close to the water connection, and is thus in readiness at aii timmes for use. t is so arranged that it can be transtrerred from the rack in the twinkling of an eye, and so careâ€" fully ‘have detailsu been looked after that k.t.h:'remiieno chance for a slip of any kin hen it is on‘.'y"neg)efi.mry to use this amount of hose, the line is run through the window on either side of the car and the stream thrown upâ€" on whatever is ablaze.

A R charge is arranged for three twoâ€"andâ€" aâ€"halfâ€"inch hose comnections, so that three streams can be used at one time. THE PUMPING APPARATUS. For its motive power, the car deâ€" pends upon an ordinary locomotive, any sort. This Ilqcomotive is coupled onâ€" to the car and the steam comnection formed just as it is for heating the orâ€" dinary passenger car. . This gives the necessary power to the pump and the water can be forced through the hose at as great a pressure as the strength of the hose will permit. This steam hose connection with the engine is of the standard sort, and thus any enâ€" gine of the New York Central may be utilized as a power producer for the fireâ€"fighting car. The hose, of which there is always 400 feet on hand, is two and a half inâ€" ches in size and constructed of linen, the strongest kind of hose that is made The nozzle attached to the end of the hose, and through which the water passes directly upon the fire, has an opening at the forward end of one inch in pircumnference. Ahis gives opporâ€" tunity for the passage of a â€" strong, forceful stream that would drown alâ€" most any ordinary fire. in fact, with an ordinary pressure through the nozzle a stream can be thrown over the highest building in and about the East Buifalo yards.

The ’ pump which forces the water from the tanks into the lines of hose is located in the center of the car directly beâ€" tween the two tanks.
