The extreme height and overhang-
ing stories of the Roman buildings
were a source of danger to the citizens
in more ways than one. There were
many important thoroughfares in
Rome that were always in the shade;
only at high noon did streak Of sun
light find its way between the build
ings to the pavement. The streets
were thus always damp, for although
Rome was severed and there was a
penalty against throwing Stops into
the street, the city was none too clean.
and there were frequent humorous al
lusions, among the poets and writer's
of odds and ends. to the misfortuues
sustained by pedestrians, who, while
passing along the street, were deluged
by buckets Of Stops carelessly thrown
from upper windows. Pliny mentions
wedding which ended in a riot on
account of the leading participants be-
ing thus besprinkled with filth-not Of
design, but through the carelessness
of housewife. There was another
danger hardly less serious. Queer as
it may seem to us IN these days of gas
and electricity, the streets of a city
which certainly contained 1000, 900 and
may have had 1000, 900 Of population,
were at night in the darkness of Egypt.
Such a state Of things presented sin
gular facilities for the operations Of
fOotpads and highwaymen, and the
frequency with which their operations
were attended by murder is shown by
the numerous epitaphs that have been
discovered intimating that he whose
ashes lay beneath was killed by rob-
bers. Every householder, every tenant
in tenement house, had to look after
his own security, and accordingly the
doors of residences at dark were bar
red, every window was secured by a
strong iron lattice, and in tenement
houses the street doors were fastened
and common fund, raised by the ten
ants, was provided to secure the serv-
ices Of a Waterman to look after the
building. In the tenement structures
which had = respectable class of ten
ants the watC Imam went his rounds
through the building at regular inter
walls, but in the better class of houses
there were generally two or more
watchmen, and the one at the front
door was chained so that he at least
would give proper attention to BUSH
ness through the night.

To Protect Buoy Cables.

In the use of floating buoys it often
happens, says the Scientific American,
that changes in the wind and tide drag
the cable around on the bottom and it
is therefore shortened, thus impairing
its efficiency. To avoid this danger,
Charles Hutchins, superintendent of
lighthouses for Nova Scotia. has in
vented buoy which has been used for
year with gratifying results. The
buoy itself holds the cable off the bot
tom. The submerged buoy, as shown
in Fig 4, has a cylindrical body with
tapering ends adapted to receive the
cable. The body at one end is provided
with an outwardly fiaring rigid skirt,
constituting a drag against the move
ment of the buoy through the water.
In Fig. the submerged buoy is
shown interposed between the sections
Of the cable of a floating buoy. The
full lines in the figure indicate the po-
sition of the cables and buoys in calm
weather, the cable in this position be-
ing at all times held above the bot

A GREAT BATTLK
Three Hundred Chinese Slain By Rus-
b sians-Lord Beresford's Opinion Of
the Importance Of the Affair.

Picking, Feb. 20.-A serious conflict
has taken place between the Russians
and Chinese at Talienwan, 300 of the
latter being killed. It is said to have
originated in question of taxes.
Detroit, Mich, Feb. 20.-Adniral
Lord Charles Beresford, en- route from
Chicago to the east, was seen in pass
ing through Detroit Sunday night in
reference to the battle reported at
nese. Lord Charles, after reading the
dispatch, said that such battle was
only what he had been expecting for
some time It's effect, he believed, would
be to shake the Chinese government
more than anything that has occurred,
and he asserted that trade would also
suffer severely as result of it. AS to
the statement that the origin of the
trouble concerned question of taxes,
his lordship said that he did not under
stand how that could be the case unless
the Russians had very recently begun
taxing the Chinese. He thought it
more likely that the Russians may have
taken Chinese land for military pur-
poses and not paid what the natives
considered full value for it. AS the
Chinese never differentiate between
foreigners, considering all alike, Lord
Charles said that this incident will
work as much harm to British and
American interests as to Russia. "Rus-
STA has obtained such hold in Man.
churia," said his lordship, "that con-
slider it extremely improbable that, no
matter what may be the final DISPOSE
ton of China, Russia will ever be

ASPHYXIATED.
Two Women and Two ChildFen
Found Dead in a Philadel-
phia Residence.

Philadelphia, Feb 2O.-Mrs Charles
Fahrenkamp, aged 33 years, her two
children, Florence and William, aged
respectively ten and nine years, and an
unknown woman, aged about IS years,
were found dead Sunday in a room in
Mrs. Fahrenkamp's home, 1416 North
Fifty-second street. The gas was
turned on and life had apparently been
extinct for several days. Scattered
about the first floor were remnants of
cigars and cigarettes and empty beer
and whisky bottles. The bodies were
found by next-door neighbor who
had forced an entrance to the house.
Mrs. Fahrenkamp was lying on the
floor and her daughter near by. The
unknown woman and the boy were in
bed. The last heard from the inmates
OF the house was on Thursday night,
when the piano was kept playing until
late hour. On Friday morning Mrs.
Wilson, living next door, was asked by
Florence to assist her in raising her
mother from the floor, where the child
said She was sleeping. Mrs. Wilson told
her she was unable to do so, and sug-
gested that the girl cover her mother
and allow her to continue sleeping.
The two women and the boy, it is be-
lieved, were then dead, and from the
position of the girl, who occupied an
other room, it is thought that she was
overcome by the gas while trying to lift
her mother. Mrs. Fahrenkamp's hus-
band, who is travelling salesman, left
home about week ago on business for
his firm

THE OPEN DOOR POLICY.
Lord Deresford Addresses CONNIE +,
cial Club of Chicago on Pro-
posed Oriental Compact.

Chicago, Feb. 20.-Standing before
the bright red flag of the merchant ma
rine of Great Britain and the folds of
the American stars and stripes, Lord
Charles Beresford, aan bassador of the
English chamber of commerce to
China, outlined Saturday night at the
Auditorium before the Chicago Com
mercial club his trade plans for the
orient. The Briton's policy was not for
a grabbing of territory for the enrich
ment of England and America at the
expense of China and rival nations, but
the maintaining of the open door by
the nations best fitted to keep that door
open-England, America, Germany and
Japan. It was not a policy of selfish
exclusion that Lord Charles advocated,
but the policy of equal advantages to
all nations, in the belief that the great
bulk of trade would be benefited by the
prosperity of each nation.

MORE. SNOWSLIDES,
They Create Terror Among the Min
ers Around Ophir, Col.-One
Man Is Killed.

Telluride, COL, Feb. 2O.-A tremen-
dous snowslide came down the side of
Yellow mountain about quarter of
a mile below the town of Ophir Sunday
afternoon and killed one man and prac-
tically destroyed the Caribou concen-
trating plant. The slide was plainly
visible from the town of Ophir, and
those who saw it say it was the largest
they ever witnessed, it apparently be-
ing about 100 feet deep and more than
a quarter of mile wide. The Caribou
mill was crushed like an eggshell. J.
C. Vardel, the mill foreman, was the
person killed. Mighty slides have been
running all day on the mountains
around Ophir and the miners are be-
coming much frightened. On two or
three small properties they have re-
fused to work and came to town. some
of them coming to Telluride. The sun
has been shining brightly, softening
the snow and causing the slides to run.
