Tne Smith American Organ Co.'S
Building in Boston on Fire.

BOSTON, Sept. 1S.-Shortly before o'clock

tne smith American Organ Company, cor
ner OF Montgomery and Clarendon streets.
Inc building is a five-stOry brick structure
WIN frontage of about $50 feet on Mont
SoHlery street, with an ell running back
some 70 feet on Clarendon street. The first
ioor was occupied by the warerooms and
tne ONCE and the second as the tuning and
Lnil room; the third floor upon which the
nTe originated, was known as the action
room; the fourth was used as trimming
room, and on the fifth floor was the varnish-
department, in which was stored large guam
tltles OF varnish. The fires spread to the
d0urtn and the fifth stories very rapidly.
Inree alarms were sounded in quick success
sion and numerous streams were brought to
pear upon the fire and the flames upon the
tnlru no0rS were soon Subdued. In the
meantime, however, the fire had reached the
varnlsh and soon the entire upper floor was
mass OF flames burning with the greatest
fercenSs in the ELL
The fire at S.45 p. m is still burning fierce
ly but there is no danger of the fire COM
m, mnl,unlcatlng to the surrounding buildings.
Ihe peculiar situation of the burning build
iDg Is most favorable to the fireman. The
loss VIII probably be heavy.
LATER.
About $50 p. m. the upper floor fell and
nall an hour later the fire was practically
under control. The stock on the fourth
ana Nth floors was entirely destroyed, while
that upon the third floor was badly dam
aged by fire and smoke. The loss to stock on
the first and second floors and basement
ried a heavy stock and it is thought the en-
tire loss may. reach 100000. This is mere
speculation, however, as they refuse to give
any figures. The property is insured.

New instruments at Kent's Hill.

Our correspondent writes: Through the
generosity and kindly interest of the citi-
zens of Kent's Hill, the Maine Wesleyan
Seminary has acquired valuable set of in
struments for weather observations. The
set consists of barometer, dry and wet bulb
thermometers, maximum and minimum
thermometers, and rain gauge. The bar
ometer and the wet and dry bulb thermome-
tiers are the Greene standard, as used by the
signal service. They have been carefully
compared at the signal Office, Washington.
with the standard instruments at that place.
The corrections to be applied were found to
be quite insignificant, amounting in the case
of the thermometers to not more than two
tenths of degree at any point. The maxi
mum and minimum thermometers are by
Seitz of Boston, and are also accurate in
struments. Like all instruments of this
kind by simple mechanical device they
measure the highest and lowest tempera-
lures of the day without regard to time be-
ing self-registering. The rain gauge is of the
signal service pattern, and measures accur-
ately the rainfall to as small an amount as
one hundredth of an inch. The thermometers
have been placed in proper shelter on the
campus, where they excite much interest.
One half the cost of these instruments is
borne by, the citizens OF the syillages and the
made station of voluntary observation in
connection with the New England MeteOrolo-
gical Society and the signal service. Obser-
vations will include temperature and humid
lty OF the air, maximum and minimum tenn
perature of the day, direction and intensity
of the wind, amount of rainfall, cloudiness
of the sky, etc.
