area in a very short time. At present there are being operated f2 observation stations in the Adirondack and C'atBkill regions in addition ti two stations on Iong Island. These arc all regular and primary stations. In addition, a few secondary stations have been used in co-operation with landowners, and these are operated during periods of especially dry weather when the fire danger is unusually great, because at such times the range of nil stations Is considerably diminished by the hazy atmosphere. The equipment of the observation stations has been gradually improved, as rapidly as possible, in order to obtain the greatest efficiency in operation.

It has been demonstrated that an inclosed shelter on the top of the tower is essential If there Is to be continuous service from the observer. After considerable experimental work a standard observation tower was developed and practically all stations have been equipped with this type of tower. The tower is of galvanized Iron fitted with stairs and with an Inclosed shelter at the top. The shelter or observation room Is glazed on all sides so that the observer Is able to get ar. uninterrupted view in all directions.

In the observation room is the telephone instrument, which the observation station would be prnctl-rally useless: also a pair of field glasses for the observer, map and map table, and an alidade.

This is no small, job. While it would probably he a small matter to a professional telephone force, it Is different to the fire observer, but the loyalty which he holds to the State and to his neighbor, as well as his love for the great outdoors, carries him through the worse troubles that materialize in his district. For instance, Mr.

Kriner has seven miles of this line to take care of. The lino does not wind around the mountain trail that is used by tourists, but a narrow right of way has been cut through thickets, over rocks and almost impossible places, and it is along this that the telephone wires have been strung.

Around the outer edge of the map Is a strip about four inches wide on which by means of the fire finder has been drawn an exact reproduction of the panorama seen from the station. On this panoramic map the name of each mountain peak, lake, stream, village and other topographic, feature is marked. Over the map is fitted a piece of heavy plate glass to proteel made under permit from the forest ranger, and in this case tho forest ranger immediately notifies his. observer of the permit. While the smoke, as it arises from the permitted fire, is closely watched by the observer, lie makes no report of It.

F.ven for a small brush fire, permission has to be first granted by the ranger, and the person on whose premises the fire is made has to stand for all damages caused by the fire should it get beyond his Before the ranger will give his permit reported as being in Constantinople.

Kvery one who has looked out upon the distant view visible from a mountain top has experienced difficulty in placing exactly the various features of landscape according to the map. Maps are designed from a viewpoint directly above, as if were, a situation which is never duplicated under natural conditions, except perhaps from nn airplane.

With the aid of the panoramic map, which shows th skyline nnd landscape as they appear from the tower, the various peaks and other topograhpie features are shown as they appear to fhe eye and are. identified by came. The observer bos oniy he will visit the scene and see that proper precautions are taken to keep the fire from spreading; that there are sufficient men at the place to keep it under control, and many times lv; will not allow it to be burned without personally being present and supervising the Even then the wind is always taken into consideration before the fire is kindled. If it is a'par-tiruiurly bad spot, be will compel the owner to plow around the place where the bruHh is to be burned, before thj permit is given. Mr.

Briner, during the. wet. season, has utilized his time and has pretty flowers growing about Ills little adobe house and he has cleared a space so that he has fresh vegetables and his ow" notaloes growing. This work will soon have to be eliminated, however, lor as soon us the gunning season commences he will have to spend nearly every minute of his daylight hours in the observation tower, ready for every emergency.
