In spite of the substantial nature OF

The most destructive are those which
occur in large store and ware houses,
but they are generally confined to the
premises or block in which they origin
fte. The Fire Department of Lon
don, although the English seem to
think it is perfect, does not begin to
approach the degree of efficiency
reached in many American cities.
Comparative drills show that Ameri-
can fire laddies turn ont with much
more celerity than the British. Per
haps when the latter cultivate spry-
ness to the same extent as the Yankees
fires will be less numerous aud less de-
