Origin Of the Pug.

From the St Louis GIobe-Democrst
The pug, which is as ugly as 1t Is useless, was
not generally known or ownf : in the United
States prior TO 1870. and England has been ac-
quainted with the breed only for the past quar-
Yer century. His origin is in doubt, and dog
ianciers nave given him a Muscoyite or Dutch
paternity Many maintain that he Is q cross be-
tween the English bulldog and the small Dane;
oul no matter what his origin or to what cir
cuns.aIces MS popularity must De attributed,
CERTAIN IL Is that he Is very widely distributed,
i0r ne Is known and petted In England, Russia,
france. holland and Japan. He has Q little
nteuigence and more than ordinary de-
gree oi cleanliness, but no other recommen-
oatlon As 70 the standard of excellence In the
different points in the pug, no dog ever created
wider discussion and more varied oninions.
Sufiee It to say that typical pug should he
square, or what the English cali scohhv - In

Bile color for the body Is known as the ..anrico,

the color, whatever its shade decided enongh

Why So Few Fires I'm London.
T. b. D. rsey's PAPER before the American Society G
Civil ENGINEERS in New York

SNl I-nglueerSl III New York.
Capt. Shaw, chief of the London fire brigade.
when here in 1892 said that our fire department
was defective, and left the inference that the
reason Of SO few great fires in London was the
superior management of Capt. Shaw. He did
great injustice to our flremen. have spent
several months in London, and have endeayored
to discover why fires are less disastrous there
than here. The climate OF London offers great
help to tiremen. From 1871 to 1881 inclusive.
it rained more than three days in the week: the
sun shines only One-fourth of the time that it
is above the horizon; it is cloudy seven-tenths
OF the time, and the atmosphere lacks only
eighteen degrees Of complete saeuration OF
moisture. Thus wood Is kept so wet as to
make 1t impossible to light by a spark OF
light blaze. London proper covers 1913 square
miles. has TBS, 794 houses, with s,s14,5N popu-
latiOn; 81 persons to house; 40 persons per
acre. New York below 10th street contains
1906 acres. $3.50 population, 1915 persons per
house, NS persons per acre. Four of the most
densely populated tenement districts in London
cover 7O2 acres. with an average population of
249 per acre. Four densely peopled wards in
New York are the 10th, 18th, 10Th aud 18th. and
they cover 725 acres, with an average of 352 per-
sons per acre, or 40 per cent more than London.
This excess Of population here requires larger
and higher houses and consequently greater
coHCeHtTatlOu Oh COmDuSClDl0 material The aV-
erage London house is much smaller than in
New York. In London probably 60 per cent OF
the buildings are less than Is feet wide, IS feet
deep and 20 feet high, containing less than 600
feet OF lumber, board measure. Few buildings
there are over 50 feet high, st. James palace
not exceeding 40 feet, and the Bank of England
80 feet.
The staircases and partition walls are built
mostly Of stone; and they build fewer and
smaller windows than We, and fremen can ap-
proach closely without danger Then the Thames,
the many parks, the railways and the many wide
streets help much to keep fire from spreading.
Contrast all this with New York's buildings.
nom 10 to 10 stories high, with manv and large
windows. With 10 times as much lumber, rem
dered infammable by q hot and dry climate, in
each as 1t takes to build q London house: with
Its six to ten-story tenement houses, with i've
or six families on floor, with an ash-box in
each room through the winter. Think of the
perfect freedom the city authorities allow. In
the most populous parts Of the city are large
stables, lumber yards, carpenter shops, i'm
mense stores Of inflammable material Contrast
all this with London, and the wonder ia, not
that we have SO many, but that We have 20 few,
great confagrations.
