There are several new implements
which do this work in the best mau-

The lie Of "a fire engine, ns estI-

LONDON FIRES IN 1884.

Captain Shaw's annual report on
London fires states the number OF
calls for fires, or supposed fires, re
ceived during the year to have been
2,eOG. Of these, 373 were false
alarms, ia proved to he only chin
ney alarms, and 2,289 were calls tor
fire. of which 1874 resulted in serious
damage and zoos in slight damage.
These figures refer only to the regu-
lar calls for fires, or supposed fires,
involving the turning out of iremen,
fire engines, fire escapes, horses and
conchmen. They do not include
trifing damages by fires which were
not sufficiently important 10 require
the attendance of fremen; neither
do they include the ordinary calls tor
chimnrls on fire. The fires of 1884,
compared with those OF 1888, show
AN increase of 145; and, compared
with the average Of the last ten years,
an increase Of 53l. The number OF
calls for chimneys has been 1852.
OF these 1,641 proved to be false
alarms, and 1891 were for chimneys
ON fire. The total number Of calls,
including those for actual fires, sup
posed fires, chimney fires, supposed
chimney fires, have been 1888, or a
little over 20 Il day, all Of which have
been ATTENDED by frcmen with proper
appliances. h. addition 10 the fires,
178,S5O watches were kept OF IL
hours each, and several thousand re-
ports written.-Ibid

Loss By Forest Fires.

Professor &. :. sargent says in his
volume on American forests. publish
ell as a part of the last census, that
forest fires cause a loss OF $25, 900, 900
annually in this country. As tina is
about one fourth of the value OF the
entire amount Of oh II. property
destroyed by fire in the United States
annually. il is evident that the pre-
vention of forest fires is one of the
most important measures 10 be taken
for the preservation Of Our forests. In
May, 1884, we urged the enactment
of II law imposing a fine of $500 upon
every person whose care eSsnesS
causes a forest fire, and ii much
penalty, including a term OF
imprisonment, upon every person who
wiIfully starts Il forest fire, half the
fines to go as rewards for evidence
TO convict. In September we repeat
ell the suggestion, as the result of the
personal observation of II staff n.
respondent who explored the Adiron-
dncks, and now that the legislature
is considering what may be done to
preserve the forests OF the State, the
proposed enactment deserves to be
brought forward as the best that can

TO red-tape and routine is still existent
while il is generally believed that
there are several of the "Governing
Clerks" who are enthusiastic follow
ers of the free trade wil!-o-the- wisp
that is gradually but surely leading
England into a position from which
she will only be able to extricate her
self by an open rupture with some of
her oldest, most prosperous and
hitherto most loyal dependencies.
Let us hope for the sake of the sugar
colonies that the present Lord Derby
possesses some of those stern qualities
of his father against which Sir Henry
Taylor so loudly complains and that
he has the courage to think, Judge
and act for hin self, and TO severely
snub the unsolicited advice or inter
ference of dictatorial Subordinates.

AmecdOte of an Elephant.

ga gentleman who lived at Candy
in C%eylon, was riding n evening
near IA dense junglt. Suddenly his
horse began to tremble violently, and
he himself was startled by hearing a
noise like 'Umph, umph,' repeated
over and over again IN n hoarse rough
voice. IL a few seconds he was face
TO face with a huge elephant, from
whom the noise proceeded, that was
with difficulty carrying a large beam
of wood ACROSS lis tusk<. The path
way was TOO narrow to allow the beam
10 go straight across it, and there
fore the poor animal was obliged TO
bend his head sideways as he carried
it along, and the exerliOn and dl>com,
fort made him utter The sounds which
so terrified the horse. Although the
elephant had no driver with il to
instruct it, as soon as il saw them IT
flung down the beam # wood, and
forced itself backward among the
bru~Ewood, so as to leave o for
the horse to pass, and seeing it still
hesitate, it thrust itself deeper into
The jungle, repeating the cry OF
lfmph, umph,' but in a voice evidently
meant for encouragement. %till the
hors" t%rrmbled, and again the elrI
plant wcdgrd itself further among
the trees, AT last the gentleman
succeeded in p%erSuading hi~ horse TO
pass; and after he had done so, he
saw the wise creature stoop and take
up his heavy burden, turn and balance
it on his tusks, and resume his jour
ney."-SpectatOr.

raw material produced annually by
the forests OF the country is worth
$500, 600, 900, but the value OF the
timber wasted in forest fires is one

and rapidly increasing. Let the legis-
lalure of New York give the nation

forest fires by enacting the measure
