Chimney Fl,aes.

Among the causes assigned for the numer-
Gus accidental fires which are reported from
day to day, those from defective flues comprise
considerable portion. And why should this
be 50? Are not our mechanics capable Of con-
structing chimneys which shall be safe be- ond
a peradventure? Aud if they can do it, why
not? Is II owing to penny wise and pouod-
foolish policy on the part of their employers? /?
And do they yield to this without remou-
STRANGE, knowing full we'll that not only prop
erty but life " i'll be in jeopardy?
1 am led TO offer these queries at this time
because Of a recent call to repair damages oc-
casioned by fire which originated from de-
fective fue. The fire was discovered in season
to prevent destructive cOuhagratiOn. and
had made SO little progress that the cause was
plainly discernitle. The building 10 which il
took Is large, the walls are of brick and appar-
emily substantial, but the chmneys except
those parts formed by the external walls, are
but four inches thick. In finishing about thu
chimney, in the room over the kitchen, the
floor was laid no as to leave an air streak be-
tween that and the chimney; but the furring
to support the laths was one inch thick, and
extending from the chamber floor upward was
nailed snuely t. the chimny; 30 that in this
case there was bnt four inches between the
fue which leads from the kitchen range and
the furring; which becoming more and more
liable to ignite with tn. lapse of time, finally
took fire and communicating fist with the
laths. and then with the mopboards burned
its way through into the chamber where it was
seasonably discovered.
know it may be said that the radical fault
In this case was in tho mailing OF turing on
the chimney, but am sorry to say that such is
the common practice when chambers are fin
shed without firepaces depending on stoves
for needful warmth.
The only safe remedy isto make air chimney

and il stoves with funnels are to be used the

pass was saved a case of colonial wine, bag
and half OF bread and two buckets were put

days the thirteen men were In the open boat
without seeing land or ship or receiving any
assist ance whatever. For the first five days.
they had not a drop OF water, and theicaptain
divided a bottle OF wine daily among the thif-
teen men. After that they had rains, and
caught enough TO serve ont half pint Of wa
ter 10 each man rer diem. II was first design
ed to steer for the Kingsmill group, but the
cur rent was against them, aid then course
was steered for Ascension Island ard had any
of the party been able to row, they might have
reached it, but, weak as they were, all they
could do was to keep their boat before the
wind with the blanket sail. At last. alter
thirty days suffering, they reached Strope's
island, o. Caroline group, and We e received
by the King with the utmost hospitality. Ua
took the captain and mate to live with him.

After thirty, eight days they we've takeD oil
