About 80 alarms of fire have been given by tele-
graph the past year. and in only one case when it
was attempted to give an ALARM the box failed to
respond The superintendent complains that both

should be intrusted with neither. The usual amount
of repairs and changes to the lines have been made
the past year with little expense as possible.
About nine miles of wire have been put up. OF
this two miles have been used Tor repairs, one mile
for new apparatus and about six miles to build Two
local or special circuits for fremen or others
who may wish to know when and where the fires
are; already 20 instruments have been put into
these circuits. and more are needed. Three new
signal boxes have been added to system the past
year, and two more of Cranes indicators. More
signal boxes needed. and large bell on Com-
mercial street. Ten miles of wire will be needed
the coming year to complete the two local circuits
and for iepairs. There should be purchased an

place of the one now in use. After naming the
different bells with which the fire alarm telegraph
ia connected, the report closes with enumeration
of the stock and fixtures of the fire alarm tele.

THE Christmas gift received by 800 men in
Brooklyn, on Saturday, was dismissal from
the navy-yard, where they had been employed
since October. AS they had expected to re-
main permanently, the discharge was COM
plete, but not altogether agreeable, surprise.
If they are sensible men they will see, on due
reflection, that it is unreasonable to expect q
Democratic government to keep them contin-
uously on the pay-rolls in return for their
votes on single occasion. It is much less
expensive to hire them over again just pre-
vious to the next election day.

Save the recent reports of DR.. Coett, on
paleontoogy, there is scarcely anything in
printed form relating to the development of
natural history in Indiana. And yet, some of
the best work in natural science of modern
times has emanated from Indiana within the
decade. Professors Jordan and Gilbert. of the
State University take the lead among American
scientists in the field of ichthyology
Professors Coulter and Barnes are rapidly
taking the lead in systematic botany and
in methods Of botanical laboratory work. Prof
John Campbell of Wabash, has made extensive
studies in the topography of Indiana. DR.. F.
Stein, of this city. has made the best collection
of the fresh water mollusca in Indiana, and
they are now deposited In the State museum
Professor Wiley has develoned the sorghum in
terest, and is at the head of applied chemistry in
our State. while Prof. John Hurry takes the
lead in analytical work and is making special re-
searches in the composition of irons and steel.
Dr. Brayton, of this city, has made the only
report upon the birds of the State which has yet
been published. Prof Kirkwood, of the State
University, is well-known astronomer, both at
home and abroad. while of the same school and
time is Prof Richard Owen and Dale Owen,
who first studied the geology of the State, al

never be found in paying quantities. In me-
