COMMUNICATION

Mr.. EDITOR:
Beverly ought to look closer into
the matter of fire extinguishment. Of
course the person in charge Of the
water works might retire to rest as
honest men do. OF course the steam
might run down to nothing. OF course
confagrations might break out at
nights. In that case how about risk
to our homes and property, Wesupposed@
the water company agreed to maintain
a full pressure at all times, if that is
true has not the company broken the
terms of their contract. The safe
guard, we understood we enjoyed costs
the city, twelve hundred dollars per
year if the water company fails to
keep its contract it should relieve Bev-
erly of paying for fire hydrants.
Should however council consent, or
agree, in any way, to half a pressure,
a question of consequential might be
established against the city by insur-
ance companies. Its councils plain
duty to frequently inspect the flow
from the hydrants and to keep a
watchful eye to the stand pipe. In
cool weather it improves Water to settle
and in summer there is no danger from
stagnation, because of the constant flow
through the use of street and lawn
sprinklers. No doubt it is cheaper for
the water company to only half fill the
stand pipe thereby avoiding pumping
against the heavy pressure of a full
pipe. There should be some system
attic way by which the pipes should be
kept clear of mud and s~edementary
matter. 1t is indeed an outrage that
prevents the hose companies from using
the water under proper restrictions to
perfect them in the excessive fire drills.
The companies might act as inspectors.
We would be safe in their hands. The
fertilizer works are receiving good and
prompt attention from u citizens now
let us protect Beautiful Beverly" in
the matter of fire extinguishment.
This last matter belongs to council.
Will they do their duty to the public?
connect the hose houses and the water
works by wire.

FATAL RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

The train which is known as No.
331, due in this city at 3.37 p. NJ, met
with a serious accident on Saturday af-
ternoon, just above Bordentown. She
was running at a speed of nearly 80
miles an hour, and when within a few
feet of the Crosswicks' Creek suddenly
left the track, tearing up the ties and
rails for some 80 yards. The engine
was thrown against a lumber car stand
ing upon a siding and completely
wrecked. The engineer, George Kerr,
was buried beneath the mass of iron
and the escaping steam slowly scalded
him to death. His cries for help were
piteous in the extreme, but no assist
ance could be rendered him. He was
a resident of Bordentown and was
considered one of the best engineers on
the road. He leaves a wife and two
children. The fireman escaped by
jumping and sustained only slight in
%.juries. The smoking car directly back
Of the engine broke away and was pre-
cipitated down the steep incline to the
edge of the river. The second car fol
lowed the smoker and the passengers
were badly shaken up, but no one was
seriously injured. The other two cars
remained upon the track. The cause
of the accident is not definitely known,
but is said to be due to a switch which
had not been locked.

THE FIRE.

On Friday evening about 10 o'clock,
fire was discovered in the shoe factory
of Davis & Co., on the lot south of the
railroad. The Beverly and Hope
Fire Companies promptly responded
and took a plug on Laurel street near
Railroad avenue and ran out a line of
hose, succeeding in getting but one
stream on the fire owing to the distance
from the built-up portion of the city.
The men fought the flames at a great
disadvantage as there was a scant sup
ply of water, and the building was
doomed before the direct pressure could
be put on. Some of the machinery
and stock were saved, but the building
was totally consumed. The lack of
water was a source of general comment
and Common Council should demand
an investigation, for had the fire oc-
CURED in the built-up portion of the
city the result would have been more
disasterous. About thirty hands are
thrown out of employment. Loss about
$4,000, partially covered by insurance.

THE MUDF1SH.
A Queer Denizan of Certain African
Rivers.

A Queer Denizan of Certain African
Rivers.
Leisure Hours
Africa is the home of many extra,
ordinary animals, but there is no
more remarkable creature than the
mudfish, which inhabits certain OF
the rivers of Western Africa, and, as
it name implies, it turks at the muddy
bottoms of the rivers. At present,
however, 1t is not necessary to go to
Africa to see this fish, as it can be
seen by anyone who has the time, in
the reptile house at the Zoologi-
cal Gardens At first sight there is
perhaps, nothing especially striking
about this animal; it looks very much
like an ordinary fish, except for its
curious, long, slender fins.
A visitor who knew nothing about
the creature would probably go away
with the impression that he had seen
nothing out of the common. When
the fishes arrived each one was en-
cased in ball of dried mud, lined
with mucus from its body and per-
ioi atCu Wy oLdll oppCi IulO W du-
nit of breathing. This cocoon as it
is sometimes called, on account of its
analogy to the earthen case fabrica-
ted by many caterpillars, in which to
undergo their many metamorphoses,
on being placed in warmish water was
dissolved and the fish liberated.
The habit which the mudfish
has of making an earthen chamber of
the mud at the bottom of the river is
most wonderful provision of nature
for the exigencies of the climate. The
rivers which the fish inhabits are
liable to periodical drouths. When
such drouth is imminent the fish
retires to deep water and excavates
pit, in which 1t les, covering itself
over with thick layer of mud. 1t
can suffer with immunity the COM
plete drying up of the river. But the
most interesting fact about the crea-
ture is that during the time of its
voluntary imprisonment it breathes
air directly through an aperture like
a land animal. When the returning
rains dissolve the mud and liberate
the fish, it breathes by means of gills,
just like any other fish.
