Two hundred and twenty eight years
ago. from the second to the sixth Of Sep
tember, the city OF London, even then
the metropolis Of England, was q place
OF terror. A fire broke out in a small
wooden building. and spread from that
insignificant beginning, until in three
DAYS time all the buildings on an area OF
436 acres, 1920 in number. had been
destroyed. The magnificent church Of
st. Paul's. ninety-six smaller churches
and almost al the public buildings,
we're destroyed, INJECTING loss Of so3,-
$4,000. Many years were needed for
the city to recover. On September IA,
1912, the Russians set fire to the city of
Moscow, for the purpose of driving out
the French army under Napoleon. The
conhagration ragged for five days, 10000
/, houses were burned, and the money loss
was sl5OOOOOO0. Full recovery never
came. October 8. 1871, there broke out
| in Chicago, the greatest FIRE Of noderr
times. 1t lasted two days. and l7,00t
buildings were burned, involving los,
OF sl95 100000. In 1875, the city was re
built better than ever. What rendere.
il possible was the existence OF railroad
like the burlington" which carried as
sistance to the homeless at once. an'
building materials later. They are tn
