from the top of the cupola. Meantime
the fire had eaten away down inside
the structure and, all unconscious, the
firemen were standing on shell or
a burning volcano The fire was burn

denly the flames burst out around the
base of the balcony In a perfect fury
All the ropes hanging from the tower
were burned away, One hose with
stools the heat. however, and John
Davis caught hold of 1t and slid down
to the main roof, where he tainted. His
face and hands were terribly burned,
but the physicians say he will recover,
Two of his fellow firemen attempted to
follow him, but before they were half
way down the hose gave way and they
dropped into seething mass of fire
and were lost. Another man started
down portion of rope hanging from
the tower, but it gave way and he fell,
striking on his head and being Instant
ly killed. There now remained from
twenty-five to thirty men on the tower,
and Captain F'itzpatrick's tall form APP
peared in front. He seemed to be ad-
dressing his brave followers. He then
crept around the burning balcony and
returned moment later with a rope.
1t was hastily fastened to the railing of
the balcony and thrown to the roof.
Fitzpatrick was seen to point to 1t and
a man started to slide down, but before
he was half way down the cruel flames
rolled up and he was swallowed in the
awful volcano. Another tried 1t and
met the same fate One after another
five of the men at this point sprang
from the balcony to the roof. II any
survived the awful leap they were
burned to death afterwards The rope
was burned off about half way down,
but Fitzpatrick, seeing the men jump
ing to their doom, seized the strand
and started down. He dropped from
the end of the rope and caught on a
ladder which was raised to within 20
feet of it. Fire Marshal Murphy, who
was on the roof, sprang forward and
soon reached Fitzpatrick.
A shout of admiration and encour-
agemeht went up. The heroic marshal
started back, enveloped in flames. With
the energy of despair he clutched his
comrade and slid down the ladder.
Both Murphy and Fitzpatrick were un-
conscious when picked up. The for
mer, however, is not seriously hurt,
but Fitzpatrick is not expected to sur
vive the night. Scarcely twenty-five
minutes had elapsed since the fire was
discovered, but so rapid had been its
progress that the entire tower burned
away and fell with an awful crash,
carrying with it the unfortunates who
were left on the balcony and several
firemen who were playing on the flames
with hose from the roof.
A complete and accurate list of the
dead is difficult to obtain. Not even
the officers of the department will
know who are lost until after roll call
tonight.
Mayor Harrison said: "Well, this

changes are necessary for the safety of

Birds, as a rule, cannot focus their
eyes on an object save at considerable
distance. and then only with difficulty.
The reason for this singular fact is
found in the position of the eyes in the
head, one being placed on each side
and looking directly outward, SO that
they cannot be brought to bear on one
object save, perhaps, at very long
distance and directly in front. The
truth of this statement may readily
be demonstrated by anyone who has OBJ
served ordinary fowls turning their
heads on one side when DESTROYS of
more closely examining some object
which has attracted their attention.
When excited by the presence of
strange object, chickens will often be
noticed examining it, first with one
eye, and then with the other, turning
their heads for that purpose, thus
showing that they cannot bring both
eyes to bear upon it at once. The only
exception to the general rule is found
in the case of the owl, whose eyes are
placed in front of the head, and are
capable of being brought to focus on
an object at very short distance in
front.-4 ankee Blade.

In the year 1910 the locomotive was
a small, weak machine that was en-
ployed to drag few coach-like ears at
a speed of about ten miles an hour.
Then the directors and stockholders of
railroads constituted the meekest class
of citizens, very different from the die
tatorial, influential class of the pres
ent Daniel Webster, in describing the
the American railroad of that time,
said: 'They are made of two stringers
OF scantling, notched iuto ties that
often get loose in the ground Upon
the stringers two straps of iron, the
width and thickness of wagon-tires,
are nailed.
These straps of iron frequently get
detached at the ends, which turn up
like snakes heads and pierce the floors
OF the cars" Such an accident actual
ly happened to a car between Elizabeth
and New York.
Then" said Webster, "the wheels
slip on the iron straps, in winter
especially, so much that no dependence
can DO placed upon the time of arrival,
and many think it is not certain that
railroads will be a success. youths

Enlisted Force OF Our Navy Not Largo
Enough to Man the Vessels

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The annual re-
port Of Commodore Francis N. Ramsay,
chief of the naval bureau OF navigation,
has just been submitted to Secretary Her.
bert. Apropos of the Brazilian situation,
the folio wing from the report Ia interesting:
"Ths constant demand for vessels to
protect American interests makes IL nee
essary that our squadrons in foreign wa
ters shall be increased rs rapidly as the
vessels now under construction become
available. Twelve of these vessels will be
completed by the end OF the present fiscal
year, but Il will be impossible TO commits.
SION them for service unless the enlisted
force of the navy Is increased"
Commodore Ramsay calls attention TO
the necessity for law which will enable
enlisted men Of the navy to become citi-
xens of the United States without forfeit
ing their continuous service in the navy.
