Great Fatality from Fire.

The greatest fatality from fire in
public building during this century was
that which occurred at Santiago, the
capital of Chill, on the eighth of De-
cember, 1862. This was not in thea
tire, but in the leading church of the
city, which was crowded in the evening
to Overlooking by more than 5000 per
sons. A paraffine lamp, used to illum-
mate transparency on the high alter,
set its framework on fire, and quickly
wrapped in flames kind of tabernacle
composed of pasteboard, canvass and
wood. The church was filed with no
less than 10000 lights, arranged for
display in long festoons of colored
globes, with gauze and drapery of ev-
cry description surrounding the lights.
In less time than it takes to tell the
story, the whole interior of the great
church became an inextinguishable
bonfire, and rain of liquid-blue fire
poured down upon the crowded masses
below. The church had but one door
which could be reached by the panic
stricken masses below, and this door
opened on the inside, and was blocked
up at the very outset of the panic by
the surging and struggling mass. Es-
cape was thus made impossible, and in
less than quarter of an hour about 1000
human beings had persisted, mostly
women and children, but very few men.
Gen. Thomas H. Nelson, then the
American ambassador, who was present
heroically devoted himself to saving
lives, and was the means, as was said,
of extricating so young ladies from the
burning building, never deserving his
post at the threshold of the doors until
the roof had fallen in, when he was
carried from the spot with his clothes
smOuldering and his hair singed to the
roots. The Legislature of Chill, after
this disaster, passed an act prohibiting
illuminations of churches, and reuuir-
ing sufficient number of doors of
egress in every public building to Sc
cure the speedy safety of an audience

light and an open fire, there is only one

The "SIM0NDS" saws are Strengthened BY

ing, and are warranted superior to hammered saws
for the following reasons
The success of the process requiring a uniform
heat, insures perfectly uniform temper, and they
fte and set in a more satisfactory manner.
Being free from uneven strain buckle, they
stand up to their IUoTk better.
As the steel is left in a natural condition by this
process the saws retain their original shape posi-
tiO7l, as they reduced in size, thus avoiding the
necessity of re-hammering
Being made of a higher quality of steel than it
is practical TO use by the old method, they hold
edge better.
Large circular mill saws can be run at any
sOnable speed with equally good results-saws 50
inches in diameter having been tested from 400 to
1850 turns a minute, with perfect satisfaction
while hammered saws must be hammered differ
emily for different speeds.
The ''SIMONDS" saws received at the Centen-
NAL, a medal, diploma, and the following report Of
the Board of Judges
Circular Saws of beautiful finish and form, and
originality IN the method Of MANUFACTURE"
4 trial of the ''SIAONDS" saws will satisfy any
mill man that he cannot afford to use hammered
saws.
