mixed with steam, the whole atOmized and

most intense heat. Perhaps the green timber
which burns with such astonishing fury may
supply just that combination.
But this is speculation; the actual phenom.
ena which precede and accompany such fires

of hot wind and then a smoke that makes the
day almost as dark as night; flakes of SCOT
anu ashes fall, and soon after the distant roar
of the advancing flames is heard. The alarm

hours in advance of the fire, for the smoke
often travels in dense clouds for twenty

towards the nearest large pond or creek or

FIGHTING FIRE
Sometimes, however, the fire advances
with singular slowness, and the people gather
to fight it by burning back'-that is, they
fell the timber towards the advancing fire
till considerable belt is cleared, and then
set the fallen mass a-ire. This is only prac-
ticable when the season is quite dry, but it

but the country contributed literally to their
aid. In 1884 there were forest fires in many
places, especially in the mountains of Penn
sylvania, and by some strange conveyance
of wind currents the smoke Travelled in
narrow column across New Jersey and dark
ened the city of New York. These were also
unreasonable fires, if the phrase be allowable,
as they occurred in late April and early May.
On the afternoon of May 2, bank of smoke
so dense as to obscure the sun rolled over
Jersey City and the Hudson and then into
the narrow streets, where the smell of burn
ing pine was clearly perceptible. A sickly
greenish pallOr overspread the sky and the
reflection of the setting sun on the water
made it seem like a river of blood.
The fires that year were made memorable
by the hairbreadth of several crews, who
had to run their trains for many miles
through burning forests when it was impos-
sible to see ahead more than a few rods. In
the anthracite region about Pottsville, Pa,
the fire ragged for a week destroying an I'M
mense area of valuable timber At Jermyn
the powder mills were fired and exploded,
and in the timbered region many lives were
lost. Many people took refuge in theswamps
and buried themselves to the neck in mud
and water, and these escaped, as the smoke
did not drift along the ground.
The fires of 1913 in the Ohio and Wabash
valleys destroyed much property, but no
lives were lost as there were belts of timber
along the creeks which would not burn ard
the fire was confined chiefly to the ridges.
One who was child then, living some three
miles east of the Wabash gives this account:
Sunday afternoon the very air seemed
afame, the weather was so hot and dry, but
the sky was clear My brother and 1 had
gone into the deep hollow and were splashing
i'll the creek, when we heard a call from the
house: % boys. come back-:be world is on

looking to the west saw the whole sky rapid
ly turning to an inky blackness, q dense
column of smoke rising and whirling as it
rose driving towards us, and before it great
hocks of birds of various kinds, flying low.
While we gazed in terror a neighbor came
galloping out of the woods with a cry: Turn
out, everybody! Turn out, and we can stopit

and the hired hand hastily rugged the big
breaking plow, and with nervous haste began
the job called blowing round'-that is, turn
ing up as broad a strip as possible of fresh
earth in the stubble field, so the fire would not
burn across it. As luck would have it, the
fire turned south, and by night all the ridge
was one blaze-three miles long and two miles
wide-and along the edge of it were all the
men in the township raking the dry stuff into
the fire to save the fences. To my childish
eyes it was the most wonderful sight in the
world-al the sky black canopy with
brilliant light below it, the trees like great
red serpents twisting together as they fell, or
red hot posts, and in the glare along the line
between the night and the fire were the smoke
blackened men that made me think of stories
I had heard of imps and demons. Fifteen
years afterwards could still see some signs
of that fire. The story went about that this
fire was started by party Of laborers who

his time between the farm and Knox college
and teaching school. He studied law at
