Fourth and Howard streets, and the couple
occupied the second story of tho little frame
cottage at 264h Clementina street.
Maranell employed two assistants, who
boarded with them and occupied rooms on
the lower floor.
The little party had just eaten their even
ing meal, when Mrs. Maranell rose from the
table. remarking that it was dark and she
would light the lamp, but found that the
Kerosene oil was almost exhausted.
She entered the kitchen in the rear to fill

contents in all directions.
The woman became excited, and, intent
only upon saving their little home, at
tempted to stamp out the flames. which
quickly enyeloped her and set fire to her
clothing.
Her screams of agony quickly brought
her husband to the scene, who found her
lying in the center of the burning floor.
Instead of smothering the flames he ran
for bucket Of water to extinguish the fire
and sent one of the men living in the house
to turn in an alarm.
By the time Policeman OKeefe arrived
the unfortunate woman was frightfully
burned, and with his aid the fire was
speedily put out before it could do any ma
terlal damage to the building.
The patrol wagon was sent for and the
unfortunate woman placed on the stretcher
and taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where Drs S0mers and Coffman did all in
their power to relieve her terrible agony.
The physicians found that her clothing
had been entirely burned and that scarcely

had not been roasted from the body.
The woman later became delirious from
the intense pain. and the physicians did
not think she could possibly recover.
She was SO years OF age and native of
Italy.
Felix Maranell, the injured woman's hus-

the fire.
The burns were dressed at the hospital,

THE DEPTH OF WATER.
A Very Curious Way of Measuring 1t,
Depth.

A Very Curious Way of Measuring Its
Depth.
Nature
Frederick j. Smith Of Trinity College,
Oxford, explains a curious way Of finding
the depth OF water at a distance.
About two years ago." he says wished
to know from time to time the rate at which
river was rising after fall of rain. The
river was considerable distance from the
spot where its height was to be known. By
means OF the combination Of two organ pipes
and a telephone circuit, described in the
following lines. / have been able to make
the required measurement, within rather
close limits. At the river station an organ
pipe was fixed vertically in an inverted po-
sition, so that the water in the river acted
as stopper to the pipe, and the rise or fall
of the water determined the note il gave
when blown by small bellows driven by a
very small water-wheel.
A microphone was attached to the upper
end Of the organ pipe this was in circuit with
wire leading to town station at some dis
tance; at the town station there was an
exactly similar organ pipe which could be
lowered into vessel full of water while it
was sounding. By means of the telephone
the note given by the pipe at tile river was
clearly heard at the town station; then the
organ pipe at this station was lowered or
ralSeu Dy naDQ until 1t gave the same note.
The lengths of the organ pipes under water
at tho two stations were then equal, so that
the height of the water in the distant river
was known.
The determination can be made in less
than minute by any one who can recog-
nlZe the agreement of two similar notes
The arrangement. when first tested, was so
placed that the height of water at two
places near together might be easily COM
pared. | found that lad with an average
ear for musical sounds was able to get the
two heights to agree within an eighth of an
inch of each other. while person with an
educated ear adjusted the instrument i'm
mediately to almost exact agreement. The
total height to be measured was seventeen
inches. A difference of temperature at the
two stations would make a small difference
in the observed heights. For instance.
taking note caused by $50 vibrations per
second, a difference of ten degrees c. be-
tween the temperature of the two stations
Zone not likely TO occur would make a diff
ference of about 0.02 feet in the height,
quantity of no moment in such class of
measurements. The organ pipes were of
square section and made of metal to resist
the action of the water"
