  After more than 100 years, one of the nation's greatest Presidents finally has a library and museum in his honor.It took 15 years, three governors, $145 million, and one Illinois state historian, to complete the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum and Library.Ceremonies for the high-tech facility were held on Tuesday.

  The museum opened to the general public on Saturday.A visit to this museum is both educational and entertaining.It takes the story of Abraham Lincoln and teaches it with special effects.

  The museum, designed by BRC Imagination Arts, was created to teach visitors while keeping their interest.With five major permanent exhibits, the museum experience is designed to last two hours before "museum legs" set in.Museum legs occur when you become tired after walking slowly through museum exhibits.According to BRC president Bob Rogers, the Lincoln Museum is more exciting than tiring.

  Rogers told the reporter that the best way to start the Lincoln experience is to first see the show Lincoln's Eyes, a 16-minute movie about Lincoln's life.The story is told by an artist studying to create a portrait of Lincoln.This show summarizes most of the museum, and keeps your interest by using 3-D special effects.

  Other major exhibits include "The Journey, Parts I and II." The first part takes you from Lincoln's childhood to his election as President.Part II is Lincoln's life from inauguration(就职), through the Civil War years, to his funeral.

  One of the most inspiring exhibits is the "Ghosts of the Library." It uses special effects to explain the purpose and mission of presidential libraries.

  To extinguish(熄)different kinds of fires, several types of fire extinguishers(灭火器)have been invented.They must be ready for immediate use when fire breaks out.Most portable(手提式的)kinds operate for less than a minute, so they are useful only on small fires.The law requires ships, trains, buses and planes to carry extinguishers.

  Since fuel, oxygen(氧气)and heat must be present for fire to exist, one or more of these things must be removed or reduced to extinguish a fire.If the heat is reduced by cooling the material below a certain temperature, the fire goes out.Water is the best cooling material because it is low in cost and easy to get.

  Another method of extinguishing fire is by cutting off the oxygen.This is usually done by covering the fire with sand, steam or some other things.A blanket(毯子)may be used to cover a small fire.

  A third method is called separation, which includes removing the fuel, or material easy to burn, from a fire, so that it can find no fuel.

  The method that is used to put out a fire depends on the type of fire.Fires have been divided into three classes.Fires in wood, paper, cloth and the like are called C1ass A fires.These materials usually help keep the fire on.Such fires can be stopped most easily by cooling with water.
