FIRES OF 1884.
In this time Of terror the people of one
town, Richmondville, were driven into Lake
Huron, and the water being shallow for some
distance from the shore they escaped. Most
of the people of that section were recent i'm
migrants, many from Canada, and the
suffering for few days was very great,

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 a
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 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 week, destroying an inn
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 i'll theswamps
and buried themselves to the neck in mad
and water, and these escaped, as the smoke
did not drift along the ground.
The fires of 1S4S 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, and
the fire was confined chiefly to the ridges.
| One who was a 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
in the creek, when we heard a call from the
house: % boys, come back-the world is on

fires in an parts of the Central valley. Many
columns might be filled with bare mention Of
local fires in the southwest, and Kansas peo-
pie freely charged that the Indians set fire to
the prairie grass and timber to drive the
whites out of Indian territory, Oklahoma
being just then subject to a raid. Very few
lives were lost, and as drought is the regular
autumnal condition in that country, the peo-
pie We're better prepared for fire than those
farther east. On the Goth of November, that
year, about a. m, Chicago had vista
ton" which reminded many of the accounts
given of the celebrated dark day" in New
England in 1881. The smoke from prairie
fires settled down on Chicago and, aided by
fog, made darkness like that of night for half
an hour. No doubt the wonderful darkness
Of 1871 in New England was due to the con-
centration of smoke from vast forest fires in
Canada and western New York, as after it
cleared away the waters were found covered
with sooty film.
FIRE ON THE MOUNTAINS.
Almost every section of the Allegheny
mountains has been subject to terrible fires
at various times, as have those of the far
west, especially the pine hills Of Utah. The
sight is sublime, but to the people Of the far
west it is like the destruction of gold, for
timber is there the most valuable Of all
growths, and the destruction Of mountain
forests means less snow binding, more ava
lanches and more uncertainty about the sum-
mer's water supply for irrigation. In the
Mississippi valley, on the other hand, very
dry season and destructive fires are to some
extent compensated for by the destruction of
malarial germs and insects hurtflA t0crops.
With average rainfall the next season is gen
,.zIy a very fruitful one. OF the older states
it appears that Michigan has suffered most of
recent years by forest fires, and as they have
begun unusually early this year it would
seem that something in the growth of her
forests renders her peculiarly liable to this

mixed with steam, the whole atOmized and
delivered in a delicate spray, produce the
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
as have lately devastated the eastern part Of
Michigan are too alarming to leave the OBJ
server in philosophic mood. There is first
an awful stiffness in the air and an oppressive
heat, after which the sky changes by slow de-
grees to most unnatural coppery hue. 1t
is at times an ominous yellow, then purple
and then appallingly dark; the sun by day is
of a most alarming bloody red; the moon by
night is equally lurid After this come puffs
of hot wind and then a smoke that makes the
day almost as dark as night; flakes of SCOT
and ashes fall, and soon after the distant roar
of the advancing flames is heard. The alarm
ing phenomena, however, may be many
hours in advance Of the fire, for the smoke
often travels in dense clouds for twenty
miles ahead. Then one may see the women
and children running in advance Of the con-
fagration, and wagons loaded with house
hold stuff whirled along by almost stifed
horses, the driver whipping them frantically
towards the nearest large pond or creek or
open piece of plowed land.
FIGHTING FIRE "
Sometimes, however, the fire advances
with singular slowness, and the people gather
TO fight it by burning backn-that is, they
fell the timber towards the advancing fire
till considerable belt is cleared, and then
set the fallen mass a-fire. This is only prac
ticable when the season is quite dry, but it
is curious fact that the fire thus kindled
