Falling Wallis at Fires

Mr.. Charles T. Hill contributes to ST.
Nicholas an article on THE Perils of
a Fireman's Life" in the course of
which he says:
There are several kinds Of falling
walls, and the fireman Of experience
knows them well. and what to expect
from each. There Is one kind that
breaks first at the bottom and comes
down almost straight, somewhat like
a curtain. This makes big noise, but
Is not very much to be dreaded. Then
there Is another that bulges or "buc-
kles" in the middle DIT first, and makes
a sort Of curve as it descends. This is
little more serious than the first. and
has caused many fatalities. Then there
Is one that breaks at the bottom and
comes straight out, reaching clear
across the street. and remaining almost
solid until 1t strikes; and, as an old
time fireman once remarked: That's
the kind you want to dodge"
This kind Of falling WALL has caus-
ed more deaths in the department than
any other danger the flremen have to
contend with. 1t has killed horses as
we'll as men, and destroyed apparatus;
and it Is SO rapid in its descent. and
covers SO much space. that to escape it
the men have to be quick indeed.

Quilts are also needed in immense
numbers as toothpicks, for whip-mak-

es, ctc. and the Admiralty employ
quill barrels as tubes for powder fuses
In artillery. Millions of the feathers
are also required for the ever-pop,lIar

quilts are obtained from geese, trr-
keys, crows, and swans. Goose quills
are mostly imported from Russia in
TO eighty bales. aggregating a total Of
5000, 600 Quills. Swan quills are the
largest and most durable, but the best

particular breed of geese found in the
Hudson Bay territory. Quills from
the swan are the dearest. fetching as
much as "a per hundred. while the
best goose quilts cost less than FL. The

their skill in making and mending
quill pens. Some people never could
make a good pen. and consequently al

did 1t so we'll that the penmanship was
very fine. Every stationer sold quill
pens neatly arranged In small bundies
and tied with cord.
