but the other is intended to be automatic and to accomplish it's work in case anything should prevent a man getting to the valves to turn on the water. The pipes with holes in them are exactly alike in both instances, but in the automatic one the holes are plugged with soft lead In this pipe the water is always turned on. Should fire start on the stage and gain the least headway it will melt the lead plugs and allow the water to rush out in sheet capable of extingushing a large conf1agration. It was this ap- plication to the stage that gave the contrivance its name of water ''cur- tain.'
 In this country the movement at present is to put water curtains on the outside of buildings to protect them from fires in adjacent buildings. The water curtain will also protect people who are caught in a burning building and fly to the windows to wait for the hook and ladder men to help them out.
 In the outside water curtain there is some little difference in construction from the interior water curtain and is of necessity more costly. The one at present being attached to the great Public Library building in Chicago is a good type.
 In this instance a seven-inch steel water main is laid around the top of the structure, upon the broad stone ta- ble formed by the top of the copmg, this pipe having connection with force pumps situated in the basement, and, through perforations properly ar ranged, insures the introduction of a substantial sheet of water from cornice to pavement, around the whole or any

ship was uneventful for those who were not in command. For these their tables and desks were spread in the ''social shall," and all day long they worked busily and fnysteriously on maps and lists and orders, and six typewriters banged on their machines until late at night. The ship was greatly over crowded; it held all of General Shaf- ter's staff, all of General Breckinridge's staff the Cugan generals, the officers and 800 men of the First Regiment, all the foreign attaches. and an army of stenographers, secretaries, clerks. serv- ants, couriers, valets and colored wait CTS.

 appropriate. Although the idea
 is not entirely new, it is just coming into favor and is being fitted to some of the finest buildings in this country.
 Just who invented the water curtain IS not of record in this country, and perhaps not in any other. AS far as known one of them was first put into the Paris Opera-house about fifteen years ago, but, as it happens, has never been used.
 The arrangement of the water cur tain is simplicity itself It is nothing more than an iron pipe with hundreds of small holes bored in one side of it. This is connected with the public water main, or pumps, and in time of danger the water is turned on and descends in sheet that the fiercest flames can- not penetrate.
 The water curtain In the Paris Op- era-house is intended to cut off the stage from the rest of the building and is only one of a dozen other safe guards in the famous place of amuse- ment. In reality there are two water curtains. as well as the asbestos cur tain. They are placed high above the stage close to the front wall and the water Is supposed to fall on the foot lights.
 One of these curtains operates in the manns~ that has already been described,

 If you try it once you'll try 1t again. But you don't want to try it too often- that is, not at one sitting Seductive? It has all the fabled qualities of the lotos.
 But after a good dinner it is delicious. It isn't really a pousse cafe-that is, it hasn't all the vari-colored ingredients of which the more familiar tipple is built. You simply fill a petit verre half full of benedictine. and then slowly pour in the same quantity of cold, rich cream. Then you have your pousse cafe la Mon- tague.

 A water curtain in operation is as pretty a sight as can be seen anywhere. On some of the big buildings in Chi cago the water shoots out several feet from the coping and then falls to the ground like a glistening waterfall. It completely covers the building like a veil of mist, but permits the architec- ture to be seen.

V v dripped off the end of the
 telegraph wire it seemed al
 together too good to be true We had thought that our nations birthday celebration was to be over- shadowed by the universal sorrow for the hundreds of brave men who had so lately, and so unavailingly, as il seemed, laid down their lives for us all and made more gloomy still by the cloud of uncertainty hanging over our forces around Santiago harbor
 So it was that all day the faces gag ing up at the newspaper bulletin sheets had been grave and anxious, and the shifting crowds, though larger in size than those gathered on week days, were distinguished by an unusual quietness-as though the people were listening intently for something which they almost dreaded to hear.
 Rockets went up here and there and crackers and pistols and toy cannon punctured the quiet air with their sharp detonauons. We would have our Fourth anyway, and after that and then Simpsons dispatch came:
 The fleet under my command
 offers the nation, as a Fourth of
 July present, the destruction of
 the whole of Cervera's fleet
 About 1900 prisoners, including
 Admiral Cervera. American loss

 It seemed simply impossible to wait for that center elevator to the top of the home of The Call. We were wild to rush up the marble stairs in a mad race for the cupola and give outward and vehement expression of the emotions which, for the time being, made every thing else subservient to the one thought of summoning others to rejoice with us.
 There were only three of us going up-the two brothers whose special business it is on every fitting occasion to man the gum and fire the salute away up there in the clouds, and I the woman who had been promised the honor of firing the first shot sent out to apprise the city of the great victory which turned doubt into rejoicing all over our broad land.
 Up we went, swiftly, smoothly, si- eighteenth landing. after which if we would rise nearer heaven we must do so by means of our own endeavors.
 The first lieutenant was busy with the boxes and bundles which had bur dened him on our trip toward the zenith, and the captain graciously act ed as gunner's mate. I climbed over to the gunners station and braced my back firmly against the Ventilating shaft, while I obediently deafened my self with cotton. The curve of the dome hid the streets just beneath from view, but at a blocks distance I could see the broken lines of the usual early evening promenaders on the downtown thoroughfares, and further away, on the less frequented streets, the sporadic flash of small explosives. calm seemed to have settled on the city, but 1t was the unnatural calm which pre- cedes storm.
