The Spread Of the Boston Fire.

Fire Marshal Whitcomb. in his investigation
Of the big fire Of Friday in Boston has esta5.
lished one important point-the reason why
The flames spread throughout the building SO
quickly and SO furiously. The cause seems to
have been rs follows: On the third floor were
two closets, one used by the janitor for the
storing of brooms and the other as toilet
room. Between these closets. IN a small SPACE
in the wall about FIVE or six feet from the fioor
was an immense gas meter. The fire started in
the toilet room. 1t is thought that there was a
break in the big pipe, and instantly an immense
stream Of gas rushed forth. which was ignited
by the fame and spread throughout the floor
sweeping everything in its path.

An Onenin- for the N,crobe.

10 TIRE Editor Of Ire Evening star:
The people OF Washington no doubt regard
with IN istaction the measures that are being
taken to fcrtifr the c.:y against an attack next
summer o. the cholera. Bat while the atten-
ton thus far seems 10 be mainly directed to-
ward offensive alleys and defective slop buckets.
would il not DC well also 20 give a thought to
the water supplv--a most inviting avenue for
all manner of microbes and disease germs!
For three years past We have had intermit-
tent seasons o: muddy drinking water. but we
were assured the water was chemically pure, "
and so we swallowed the mud and said nothing.
Tuesday there was unaceountable stoppage
of the water supply in = part OF the govern
ment printing ofice. Experts were put to
work ard succeeded in locating the obst-uc-
ton. which was found to be a ro-
bust vell-developed eel measuring fully
two fee: in length and an inch and quarter
or more IN diameter. 1t may be that our
driGking water is chemically pure" but, to
the IN g sored mind. it would seem that where
an eel o. por:ly dimensions can pess a microbe
or two might manage to wrigGle through
also VIC.

Clean the Underground Couduits,

To the Editor of The Evening star
While the health Office is making a house to
house inspection would it not be a good idea
for one inspector to be detailed to LOOK after
the underground conduits? l have never seen
such q mass of fifth is hidden under this
place. All filth and dirt that cannot get into
the sewers goes into the holes. and when one
finds there are many connected with the main
sewer you can imagine the condition Of affairs
Where wires are drawn into houses underground
it is done through six inch pipe. thus connec-
ing house direct with one OF these pools OF
stagrant water. or, worse still, with the sewer.
Should there be such thing as the cholera this
summer nothing will spread it here more
quickly than these very places. Yesterday
while returning from the monument l looked
into a hole on 14th street below the avenue,
there was the same thing have spoken of. II
you will take the time to go to 14th between the
avenue and street you will be convinced. For
health and cleanliness sake make them keep
these places clean and stop the spread of di-
sease. Yours for health, A. II.
