WHAT TO DO IN CASE OF FIRE. BY CHIEF EDWARD F. CROKER OF THE NEW YORK FIRE DEPARTMENT. In case of fire immediately send alarm from the nearest alarm box; wait at alarm box until the arrival of the firemen so as to notify them as to the location of the fire. Occupants of premises should endeavor to extinguish fire, if possible, previous to the arrival of the firemen, but do not delay an instant in sending in alarm. Keep cellars and closets under stairways entirely free from rubbish. Al ways endeavor to keep perfectly cool until the arrival of the Department; do not jump, as the firemen will save you, and are very prompt in reaching the scene of a fire once the alarm is turned in. Keep small chemical fire extinguishers on each floor in all buildings. In case of fire, endeavor to keep all doors shut, thereby avoiding draughts and preventing the rapid extending of fire.

ACUTE ANGLE.-An acute angle is less than a right angle, or less than 90 degrees. 2. ALTERNATE ANGLES.-The internal angles made by two lines with a third, on opposite sides of it. If the two lines are parallel, the alternate angles are equal. If the parallels AB, CD, be cut by the line EF, the angles AGH, GHD, as also the angles BGH and GHC, are called alternate angles. 3. ARC. Any part of the circumference of a circle or other curve; a segment of a circle. 4, 5, 6, and 7. CONIC SECTIONS.-Formed by the intersections of cones and planes. The conic sections are the ellipse, parabola, and hyperbola. If the section be taken parallel to the base of the cone its outline will form a perfect circle. If the section be taken parallel to one side of the cone it will in outline have the form of a parabola (6). If the section be taken parallel to the axis of the cone its outline will have the form of a hyperbola (7). other section through the cone will in outline have the form of an ellipse (5). Any 8. CHORD.-A right line marking the extremities of the arc of a circle. Of 9. CIRCLE.-1. In geometry, a plane figure, comprehended by a single curve line, called its circumference, every part of which is equally distant from a point called the center. course all lines drawn from the center to the circumference, or periphery, are equal to each other. 2. In popular use, the line that comprehends the figure, the plane or surface comprehended, and the whole body or solid matter of a round substance, are denominated a circle; a ring: an orb; the earth. 10. CURVE. A curve line is one which may be cut by a right line in more points than one. A curve line is that which is neither a straight line nor composed of straight lines. 11. CUBE.-A regular, solid body with six equal square sides. 12. CYLINDER.-A solid body supposed to be generated by the rotation of a parallelogram round one of its sides; or a long, circular body, of uniform diameter, and its extremities forming equal parallel circles. 13. DIAGONAL.The line extending from one angle to another of a quadrilateral or multilateral figure, and dividing it into two parts. 14. DIAGRAM.-A figure, draught, or scheme delineated for the purpose of demonstrating the properties of any figure, as a square, triangle, circle, etc. 15. DIAMETER.-A right line passing through the center of a circle, or other curvilinear fig ure, terminated by the curve, and dividing the figure symmetrically into two equal parts. 16. ELLIPSE.-In conic sections, a figure formed by the intersection of a plane and cone when the plane passes obliquely through the opposite sides of the cone. 17. EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE.-A triangle having all three sides equal. 18. HEXAGON.-A plane figure of six sides and six angles. If the sides and angles are equal, it is a regular hexagon. The cells of honey-comb are hexagons, and it is remarkable that bees instinctively form their cells of this figure, which fills any given space without any interstice or loss of room. 19. HYPOTHENUSE.-The subtense or longest side of a right-angled triangle, or the line that subtends the right angle. 20. RECTANGULAR TRIANGLE.-If one of the angles of a triangle is a right angle, the triangle is rectangular. 21. RIGHT ANGLE.-A right angle is one formed by a right line falling on another perpendicularly, or an angle of 90 degrees, making the quarter of a circle. 22. ISOSCELES TRIANGLE.-If two of the sides only are equal in a triangle it is an isosceles or equicrural triangle. 23. OBLIQUE LINE.-An oblique line is one that, falling on another, makes oblique angles with it. 24. OBTUSE ANGLE.-An angle greater than a right angle, or containing more than 90 degrees. 25. SCALENE TRIANGLE.-One in which all the three sides are unequal. 26. SECANT.-The secant of a circle is a line drawn from the circumference on one side to a point without the circumference on the other. 27, OVAL. A body or figure in the shape of an egg, or of an ellipse. 28. PARALLELOGRAM.-1. In geometry, a right-lined quadrilateral figure, whose opposite sides are parallel, and consequently equal. 2. In common use, this word is applied to quadrilateral figures of more length than breadth. 29. SECTOR. A part of a circle comprehended between two radii and the included arc or a mixed triangle, formed by two radii and the arc of a circle. 30. PARALLELOPIPED.-A regular solid comprehended under six parallelograms, the opposite ones of which are similar, parallel, and equal to each other; or it is a prism whose base is a parallelogram. It is always triple to a pyramid of the same base and height. Or a |
