ABSOLUTELY PURE
FREMONT TEMPLE BURNED.
Boston's Historic Building Is a Mass of
Smouldering Ruins.

Smouldering Ruins.
BosToN, March 20-A dirty, smoky fire,
which broke out before church time yes
terday morning. destroyed fremont Tenn
pie for the third time in it's history. The
Parker House, filled with 40 people, was
threatened for some time but escaped with
a bad water damage. Buffers dry goods
store, adjoining, was pretty well smoked,
and the Burnham building, between Ire
mont Temple and the Parker House, was
deluged.
The loss to the Temple is about 100000
and to the offices and the stores under
meath about $4,000. Two fremen were
injured by falling walls. Owing to the
dangerous condition of the walls and the
liability of the coping falling, fremont
street was closed for traffic and will be
until the walls are pulled down. The
Temple will probably be rebuilt at once.
How the fire originated is a mystery the
same as the other big fires which of late
destroyed millions of dollars worth of
property in this city.
1t is known that the pipes through the
building were in use, and that the fire
caught from them being overheaten is be-
lieved to be the truth. In fact this is the
most plausible cause that has so far been
suggested.

PARIS, March 1s-Jules Ferry passed

and that organ was weak ever after For
several weeks NJ. Ferry has been asthmatic
in tendency, and his difficulty in breath
ing gave great alarm to his friends. Yes

and the efforts of his physicians to relieve
him were unavailing, and his convulsions
finally terminated in a state of coma from

when applied will draw off the water
and force pure air into the lungs.
With the old method the patient could
not begin breathing until all water
had been removed from the lungs,
whereas by use of the resuscitator the
first action draws out water, the next
forces air into the cavity thus freed.
and as fast as the water disappears
fresh air replaces it, setting up imme-
diate relief.
In cases of gas poisoning the same
placed by the air. Both the amount
of air and the number of respirations
per minute can be regulated by the
lever. The usefulness is increased by
the fact that air can be expelled and
introduced into the lungs without the
volition of the patient, especially in
cases of advanced phthisis, emphysema
and asthma, where the effort of breath
ing proves great source OF
waste and exhaustion. Had the
resuscitator been known and applied
IN time there never would have re-
sounded throughout the country the
awful story of the tragic death of
Helen Totts, says Mr.. Desant MIR.
Dcsant was taken dangerously Ill with
pneumo- hydro horaN, and all hope
being abandoned by his physician he
resolved as last resort to go to Belle
vue hospital, where through the skill
of Drs- Janeway and w. J. Pulley he
recovered. but not until ten weary
suffering montn MS had interviewed.
1t was thought this long contins-
ment and consequent close connection
with the workings of the hospital. OBJ
serving the slow, tortuous processes
by which respiration was induced in
patients suffering from asphy Nia, that
he conceived the idea of artihcially
reducing it by means of a mechan.
ism. Witnessing as he did the cases of
sunstroke and gas poisoning during
the summer of 1892, and seeing how
( w recovered through the means then
employed, he set to work earnestly,
with returning health, and perfected

Mr.. Bi..eil'. Report show. = Deficit OF
Over ~. 900. 900.
The following Is an abstract of the report
of Postmaster General Bisscll:
The postmaster general shows the dchcicn-
cy for the year ended June 30, 1929, was SS,-
III III, instead OF 81 ,aS2, ,423, as estimated by
Mr.. WAnamAkcr, and that instead of a sur
plus of fsI2, 2I5 for the current fiscal year, As
estimated by Mr.. Wanamaker, there will be
an estimated deficit OF s7,s3o.473. He csti.
mates the gross revenue for the fiscal year
ending June 10, 1895, at So, ,427, 74s and the
gross expenditures al $50, 329. .4S5, leaving an
estimated deficit of &, ,a7l, ,736, which. how
ever, will be decreased 81 30, 900 from the
fund tasen from the unpaid money order ac-
counts.
Although there arc ninety three additional
postofiioes now entitled to free delivery ser
vice. the absence OF money renders impossible
the establishment of the systems In these
towns. After n thorough trial OF two and
half year,, the experiments OF free delivery
tried In 400 towns of populations ranging
from 200 to 1900 have not proven the dcsira-
bility OF establishing the system, which the
postmaster general says would cause an an
nual outlay Of tl0, 900, ,Ooc. The appropriation
OF SO 600 900 for the trial of rural free dcliv.
cry has been found inadequate for fair test,
and the plan s not approved.
There has been marked increase in the
special delivery business, the entire numocr
OF such pieces of mail matter being 3,375, TQ3,
an increase over last year of ~ per cent
He suggests that postal notes be abolished
and that the rates charged for all domestic
money orders should be reduced and the form
Of order simplihcd.
The department carried last year 30l ,0oO-
900 pounds OF sccond-class matter, an in
crease Of IA per cent. Concerning this the
postmaster general remarks he is afraid this
indicates not 80 much n healthy growth In the
periodical literature of the country a. the
success Of cntcrprisng publishers In securing
the entry OF many publications IN this favored
GLASS that are really not entitled to the privi-
legc.
While Mr.. Wanamakcr estimated the profits
from the sale OF Columbian stamps would be
e., SOC, 600, Mr.. Bisscll's estimate is only ST.
900, 900.
On June 80, 1899, there were 6s, 1903 post
Offices In the United States, an increase OF
l,2s4 over the previous year.
Mr.. Bisscll dcvotcs considerable space TO a
discussion Of civil service reform. He makes
special comment on the Wholesale discharge
Of Democratic clerks in the railway service
At the beginning of the last administration.
Mr.. Bissclls rule that fourth-class postmas-
tcrs shall not be removed until the expiration
Of four years incumbcney, he thinks will dig
Nifty the office by placing II on par with
presidential offices as to tenure.
Mr.. Bissell mAkss special mention OF tho
needs Of the ton larger offices Of the country
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia Boston,
81. Louis, Cincinnati, Brooklyn, San Francis-
co, Baltimore and Pittsburg-which yield oae-

third of the total postal revenues, and he
recommends that those Offices be placed In a
class by themselves and an appropriation
made for them by Congress direct without
the Intervention of rules and methods that
are properly applicable to other postotices.
The most important order made by Mr.. Bis
sci is the one which declares postmasters shall
devote their time to the duties of their office
In this connection he states that the time has
passed when postoi,lce appointment should
be held as political sinecure.
The question OF the enlargement of the parcel
post, as to have It apply especially to Great
Britain and European countries, is soon TO re-
ceive Mr.. Bssell's attention.
The security Of the registered mall Is shown
by the fact that Of l35i6,7S9 pieces carried
during the year actual loss was found in only
], l,346 cases Of the 1923 complaints investi-
gated.
He urges such legislation will provide a
reasonable amount to be paid widows and
minor children of railway mail clerks killed
while on duty, and estimates $50, 900 annually
will be sufficient for this purpose.
Regarding the ocean mall subsidy, the
postmaster general is unable to ascertain
that any positive advantages have accrued
from mail commercial point Of view by
reason Of the contracts thus far put in opera
tion under the act of March 3, 1891, and
that, therefore no new contracts have been
made.

fate eluding. 1t has been reserved for
one of our own period to solve part
of the riddle which the sphinx SO re-
lentlessly guards.
According to the New York Herald
William f. Eesant of New York city
has invented an apparatus by which
the grim destroyer can be deprived of
a great portion of his prey. His in
ven ion is resuscitator, IN which he
has copied nature in her action OF
breathing and has actually produced
pair OF lungs made of brass.
The machine consists of two air
cylinders, the capacity of which equals
that OF the human lungs-thirty cubic
inches The valves also resem ble those
of the human being as closely as they
could be made to do SO. A lever con-
nected with the piston rod causes
pressure and suction corresponding to
the inspiration and expiration of the
human lungs.
In cases of apparent death from
drowning, gas or morphine poisoning
the action Ct the tu bes restores resplra-
ton by removing all foul air or poison
Gus gas from the lungs with the first
movement of the lever. Another
movement and the cavities are filled
with pure air. thus res oring the lungs
to their normal functions, inducing
natural breathing without the effort of
the patient
Where gas poisoning has occurred
all physicians agree that the blood be-
comes impregnated with gas and the
necessity for the removal of the gas
from the blood is as great as the evac-
pation of the lungs to complete a
speedy recovery. With the mode used
in the past of causing respiration this
has been impossible, for the very small
amount OF air that is drawn into the
lungs by moving the arms does not ex-
pei the air before it becomes impreg-
mated with gas, and the patient being
una BILE to throw it off the result is
| frequently fatal
In cases of drowning the machine
