The Number OF Brcndrinners.

In 1870, says Carroll D. Wright, there
were 1865 ,923 persons engaged in sup
porting Themselves ard the remainder
of the people: that is to say,32.43 per
cent. of the total population were SO
engaged. In 1880, the number OF bread
winners was 1882 ,O99, or 34.67 per
cent. of the total population. In 1890,
this number had risen to 22, 1861, or
1851 per cent. of the total population.
By "breadwinners" is meant all who
were engaged either as wage-earners- or
salary receivers, or proprietors, OF
whatever grade or description, and all
professional persons-in fact, every one
who was in any way employed in any
gainful pursuit. The figures quoted
show that the proportion of the total
population thus employed is constant
ly increasing. Analyzing the statistics,
we find some remarkable results, and
in general that the number engaged III
the lowest walks of business, laborers
and the like, is decreasing in proper
ton, while those employed in the high
er walks are increasing in number rela-
lively to the whole population-At-

FIRES ALONG SHORE.
Millions of Property la New York Pro-
tectcd by g. Fleet Of FirebOats.

Millions of Property Ia New York Pro-
tectcd by g. Eject Of Fireboats.
With the growth Of Il large city, the
protection OF the water front from the
ravages of fire becomes an important
study, almost as important as the study
nf fire protection for the cfty itself.
Nearly every large city in the United
States owes its growth to its nearness
to some body of water, either lake,
river or sea, which offers exceptional
advantages for the transportation OF
immense quantities of merchandise.
and also provides harborage for all
manner of craft engaged in this work.
This merchandise has to be stored
somewhere during the process of load
ing and unloading these vessels, and
the big warehouses and wharf build
ngs along the water front serve this
purpose; but very often the most val,
liable cargoes are stored for time
in the fimsiest kind of buildings, need
ing but a spark to start destructive
confiagration.
AS city increases in size it's i'm
portance as a freight center grows in
proportion; and the value of freight
and merchandise stored along shore,
during transit in big city like New
York, can only be imagined. No rea.
sonable valuation can be given, for we
should have to dive too deeply into the
amounts of imports and exports to get
anywhere rear the truth; but it is safe
to say that S1OO,00O,00O would scarcely
cover the property exposed to the dan
: ger of fire, in signle day, among the
piers and wharf houses of New York
city.
Nor is this danger confined to piers
and wharf buildings alone, but vessels
in the act of loading and unloading
valuable cargoes, the big bonded ware
houses along the river front, the docks
, for great ocean steamers, and the
freight stations of many big railroads
are so exposed to this risk, and need
to lC wcj! protected. for a serious fire
among them would destroy more valu-
able property than perhaps fire of the
same extent in the very heart of the
city.
Fires along the shore are difficult
ones to handle. There is always more
or less wind near the water; if a gale
is blowing it SENS to have twice as
much force on the water front, and Il
fire once started here spreads very rap
idly. Then fires on the piers, or in the
wharf buildings, are usually very hard
to tight-although there is plenty of
water all around. it is difficult to ap
Ply il to good effect. The land forces
can only fight such fire from one
position-the street side; and if the
| wind is blowing inland it drives the
smoke and fire directly at them, and
makes it nearly impossible to hold this
position. 1t is here that the floating
fire engine or fireboat can do its valu-
abl" work; and New York possesses
feet of such vessels-three boats that
are fully able to cope with a fire of al
most any size, whether it be among the
shipping, alongside, or anywhere in
the harbor-Charles F. Hill, in ST.
Nicholas.

VERMONT LANDSLIDES.
CommOtIon When Part of the Skin
of Mountain Slips on.

of Il Mountain si1pb oH.
There was a tremendous landslide in
Waitstield, VT, during d recent raging
storm, and the scene after the storm
was d sight to behold. Talk Of western
cycloues, Here is sample Of the east
srn works of nature in action which IS
simply marvellous.
Il was standing near the brook in the
potato field when L saw it, said Hollis
Mahuron. The brook made SO much
noise | didn't notice anything unusua
until | looked up and saw trees, roots
and all, shooting into the air, and tim
Der and rocks and earth tumblng over
and over 20 or 30 feet high and extend
ing out over the valley 20 rods or more.
''Was | scared?
We'll. to say l was scared would be
putting it mildly. My first thought was
of the Johnstown flood and the next
was Of my family, and you better be
Geve | never left that potato field 50
quickly before
1t was an instance where action
meant life, as the ten or more acres OF
meadow land in the vicinity now burieG
under immense piles Of timber and flood
would bear testimony.
Beginning at the top of the mountain
! is short slide of about 90 rods, which
doesn't connect with the main slide.
Farther down another of 25 rods i'll
length slants in from the north. while
about one-third the distance from the
main brook to the mountain top third
slide of similar length slants in from
the south. From this the main slide
, dug an immense trough over 1CO feet
wide and Is feet deep, extending down
the mountain until it made a turn
around the ledge about two miles from
the root, where it narrowed and then
swept out a channel 100 feet wide for
the rest of the distance.
Pen cannot describe the scene as it
appeared to those witnessing it. Trees
were thrown into the air and snapped
! like dry twigs; rocks and powders were
buried and crpshed and forced down
the declivity, followed by torrent of
water so muddy that beholders said it
, looked like stretch of plowed ground
! Acres of timber were discovered, pine
spruce and maple ground together
among the rocks until it is one long
stretch of pulverized, shapeless mass
with the channel between, swept clean
to the rocky bottom.
The slide is on the same mountain
side as that which occurred June II
1927 and which was ahouf 400 rods
long.-Boston Globe.

Clocks That Turn Out the Lights.

in these days Of electricity it is not
essential to have somebody turn out the
lights Time switches are made which
can be attached to a clock and made to
turn out electric lights at amy desired
hour. Suppose, for instance, the lights
are in Il show window, and it is desired
to put them out at midnight. At that
hour the clock closes circuit, permit
ting the passing Of an electric current
to the switch, which, thus released,
cuts off the electric light and so puts
out the lights.-N. Y. Sun.
