TWO ALARMS.

Two alarms were turned in--the first

above stated, and IA few minutes thls
box was pulled again. These signals
called out Steamers Nos. ., 3. 4, g, and
Z and Trucks Nos. l and ,, and would
have summoned the aid OF Engine No.
) had it not been out on another call.
Almost before the bells stopped sound
ing the handsome new La France
steamer No. Z, from the Cary-street
ongine-bouse, was upon the scene, and
for more than two hours Its work was
excellent and of great avail.
This steamer took position at the
corner Of Cary and Twelfth streets, and
the others were stationed at various
corners in close proximity to tho burn
ing building. One Of these dashed
through an alley leading to similar
thoroughfare running horizantal to the
structure, and after causing people torun
madly and frantically into one another
in the effort to get out OF the way took
no a position at the very intersection OF
the two alleys.
The immense multitude OF spectators
were iostled from one side OF the street or
alley 10 another by the moving apparatus,
much Of which was driven very rapidly
considering the danger of the location
md the large crowd. Men, women, and
children in great numbers filed almost
all available space in the vicinity, and
only the changing of bells and the CHATTER
of horses hoofs prevailed upon them to
give room.

THE BERLIN EXTOsITION.

The proposal to hold an international
exhibition in Berlin in 1896 still has
many supporters, in spite OF the asser-
ton made in a recent letter by Chancel-
lor Won Capriyi that the holding Of such
an exhibition Is ont of the question.

earded as the successor OF Herr torck-
enbeck as burgomaster, has declared
himself in favor OF the exposition. He
SAYS. however, that in view OF the hold

ton in 1883 it will be impossible to organ
ize the Berlin exposition before 1898.

Chancellor, a telegram received from

Considering the location the fire IS
thought to have been one Of the most
stubborn ever witnessed in this city.
Little rivers Of water ran out the base
ment windows OF the building and fire
men and spectators waded about IN
mindful OF the consequences
The members OF the department
worked faithfully. bravely, and with
daring. Those who we're stationed on
the aerial ladders and the house-tops
many times placed their lives IN peru.
Great discretion on the part OF the de-
partment was displayed in their ma
no.uyres TO keep the flames confined to
the structure in which they originated.
At1:30 o'clock this morning two or
three bold streams were still pouring
into the basement, and the fire was en-
tircly under control

Telegraph service for Farmers.

The experiment recently entered upon by
the farmers of Michigan township Of
installing their own telegraph line has
proved, as the papers put it, "a signal
success" The subscribers. who numbered
about dozen, divided equally between
them the cost Of the installation, which was
$500, and they arranged that when another
subscriber wished to join the circuit he
could put up his own wires, secure an
instrument and bear his portion OF the
house mas letter by which it is called,
and whenever one farmers wife wishes TO
invite her neighbor to tea the ticker is
resorted to. The line Is also used In inauir-
ing Tor mail at the postofice. by which
many miles oil useless and weary travel are
saved during the year. The line Is eight
miles In length. and was put up at the In.
stlgation OF young telegrapher, who

line over sea in which no boat could live
to gain the shore. As we all know, every
life-saving station has an apparatus for
shooting the line over wrecked vessel as
means for drawing 10 the craft the safety
rope. But how often is the distance too
great or the wind too powerful, not 10 speak
Of the difficulties always encountered IN
taking accurate aim.
DR.. Woodbridge who had always been a
devoted fiier OF kites, thought the kite, II
it could be properly controlled. would
answer for sending line better than gun.
So he manufactured big kites with power
ful sticks and strong canvas coverings and
experimental with them until he arranged
an apparatus that was completely success
fu. BY ingenious arrangements OF the
belly-bands and OF the TAIL and OF strings
attached 10 the tops of the sticks. he was
able to lower or raise kite, to make IL 60
TO the right or left In a wide angle, and to
send it forward for several miles. And he
can do all this without any regard TO
whether the wind is heavy or light, pro-
vided that it is not dead against the dlrec-
tion in which he wishes TO send his kite,
He also has made some pretty successful
experiments for compelling q kite TO tow
small boat at good rate of speed. AL this
has been ccompliShed by ingenuity In fitting
out the properly built and properly shaped
frame, covered with muslin or oiled cloth.
DR.. Woodbridge is only one of number
of experlmenters who are endeavoring TO
raise kite-fying to science and make 1t as
useful as Franklin made it when he used it
in the study OF electricity. Every one of
these kite-fiers has his own method of rig
ging. The arrangement of belly-band and
tail will make all the difference in the
world in the speed, grace and tractabllity.
