FIRES IN JAPAN.
but For Open Spaces the Japanese Cities
Would Burn Up.

One of the quaintest sights in Japan
Is a fire. Hundreds OF houses are often
burned in the space Of few hours, and
little or nothing can be done to stop the
progress Of the flames, especially ON q
windy day. If you except the roof, which
is made of tiles, japanese houses are
built entirely of straw wood, bamboo
and paper. In the poorer districts houses
are packed close together, and therefore
If one happens to catch fire sometimes
the whole street is burned down with
Incredible rapidity, and the fire only
stops at some open space where it can
not possibly spread further IL is not I'M
usual in Tokyo or some Of the larger
towns to hear of thousand or even
more houses having been destroyed IN
IN afternoon or during the night.
No one is more afraid of fires than the
japanese, and high ladders are posted at
short intervals all over the towns and in
all the larger villages, on the top of
which ladders Waterman sits all night
and in case of fire rings large bell
hanging from the top. If ruDg at long
intervals, the fire is distant, and one
need not worry oneself about turning
out Of ones fountangs. If rung little
quicker, the fire is not far but there
need be no apprehension But if the bell
is vigorously and quickly tolled then
you may as well say goodby to your
house, because in perhaps few minutes
it will be reduced to a mass of ashes.
The japanese are wonderful at turn
ing out at all hours of the night, even
for going to look at a fire, and men. wo-
men and children in the coolest nights
in winter think nothing of walking five
or six miles to go and look at big
blaze. If the. fire happens to be noar, the
excitement increases in proportion to the
probability of ones house being burned
down. You see people half scared and
screaming, getting water wherever they
can in pals, wash basins, tubs or any
thing they can lay hold of and throw
ing it all over the woodwork so as to
diminish the chances of its catching fire
Then as the fire draws nearer, and the
only water available has already been
consumed, the process of saving what
one can is put into practice The amido
or wooden shutters, and the sholjis, pa
per walls, are quickly taken down and
brought into a safe place; the mats are
lifted out of their places, and with the
few articles of furniture are quickly re-
moved. So that when the fire comes it
only destroys the wooden frame of the
house and the roof That is all 1t is
seldom that life is lost in these fires, ex-
cept sometimes when children or old
people are unable to move, and once
surrounded by flames they cannot be
reached and often perish. Tokyo Let

The London Times is kind of oldest

tam, in Kamchatka and everywhere
else where Englishmen have eaten and
drunk-and where have they not done
these?-is discussed au fond. If horses
stumble and fall in Rotten row, there
are letters on the subject which go into
the matter of roadbuilding, modern
craftsmanship and the like, with quota
tions from Virgil and anecdotes of acct
dents that happened half century ago
Not only the more serious weekly, but
also the daily newspapers, give one the
impression that they feel themselves to
some extent responsible for the contem-
porary auditing of the accounts of the
day Of Judgment On the other hand,
the better class of English newspapers
do not indulge in rash suggestions,
hasty congratulations, uncertain guesses
at probable future happenings and the
daily exploitation of the personal affairs
of notorious nobodies And one may
be permitted to say diffidently that per
haps this is preferable. If Mr.. Balfour,
for example, were to go abroad for a
holiday, it would be considered vulgar
to chronicle his doings and dinings and
absolutely brutal and boorish to write
particulars of the dress and behavior of
his sister, or his wife, if he had one.

A GOOD NIGHT ALARM CLOCK.
OF Assistance TO Young Men Who Find II
Hard to Take Their Departure.


A young man stood in the portico Of
an apartment house in Washington
park, Brooklyn, tho other evening, and
ON the stop above him stood pretty
girl. Il was late, and the street was
deserted. Despite the darkness it was
apparent to the occasional passerby that
tho young man had the daintily gloved
right hand of the young woman within
his own, while his left hand rested
over il like cover to keep it guarded.
Tho young man was apparently trying
to say good night, and the young wom-
an evidently could not hear him. for
she was bonding her head close to his.

was being lowered by an elderly wom-

there was sudden burr-r-r-r-r-r-r-ring

the dogskin gloves attracted the atten-

twist Of velvet in her hat showed lin

the eyeglasses, the umbrella and the
