a Fatal Fire in Boston.

BosToN, Feb. IA terrible fire occurred
in North street early this, Sunday, morn
ing, resulting in the death of at least six
persons. The fire originated in clothing
store at 255 North street and quickly com
municated to the floors above occupied

impossible. Others jumped from the win

LONDON. Feb. 1.-The new book of Sir
Charles Dixie, of Crawford fame, was is
sued yesterday. 1t is ia two volumes and
called 1.-The Problems of Great Britain. -
ihthe work the author expresses the be-
lief that the world in the future will be
divided among the Anglo Saxon, Russian
and Chinese races. France, he says, may
grow to be great military and naval
power, and Germany may also acquire a
great navy as well as great army, beside
amassiDg tremendous wealth; but so rapid
is the increase of Great Britain and Amer
lea in strength and riches that before the
next century is ended the French and Ger
man nations are likely to appear little more
than pigmies beside the British and Ameri-
cans, or the Russians. Sir Charles Dixie
thinks that the Chinese, in expanding the
limits of their population across the seas.
will tend to fall under the influence of
India and the British colonies, and so be-
come powerful factor in the great civil
cation of the world and one of the greatest
dpninant powers

A few years ago the manufacture Of salt
was as rudely done as was that Of sugar, and

to lessen the field for successful invention, ss

some lessons from the salt makers.
In a patent just gotten for q process Of erG'
pOrGt;ng liquids, Mr., c. G. Peck, of Warsaw,

distinguishing feature of my invention is
the introduction of the heated brine or other
liquid under treatment into the vacuum cham

therein in contradistinction to the old method
of introducing the feed supply into the vapor

is delivered above the liquid level, an undue
degree Of agitation results, and q portion of
che brine is carried over with the vapcF into
the condenser, thereby creating a loss of both

The conspiracy is therefore intended

action that could be txkrn would he

their capital from New York and de.
posit it elsewhere--in Chicago, for

II this were done many Of the

would undoubtedly ensue in Will

upon such panic would not extend
