THE SCALING LADDER.
How 1t IL Used at Fires In Very High
buildings.

The most promising pupils among
those admitted to the school OF instruo-
ton at the New York fire headquarters
are said to be those who have served
an apprenticeship in professions that
have called them aloft. Sailors, paint
ers, roofers and steeple climbers have
the advantage Of their preliminary
training. The first thing that neo-
phyte is called upon to learn is how to
handle the sailing ladder.
This bit of apparatus is long well
seasoned tongue Of timber with short
crosspeces passing through it. 1t ter
inmates at the top with long hook,
which has three or four ratchetlike
projections on its undersurface and
weighs from 20 to 45 pounds. There is
special knack in handling it dexter
ously, and many time a man who is
slight and small Of stature can manage
ladder which a Goliath would find
difficulty in handling
"Tbere is no piece Of apparatus in
the fire department, says one who has
made study of its methods, (Which,
skillfully handled, can be made to serve
more purposes than this scaling ladder.

partment measures 80 feet, but the man

can be put in position one fireman can
push a scaling ladder into second

story to story to the very roof. He is
followed by second fireman, who takes
his ladder with him story by story, and
this fireman by third, until by the
time the first man has reached the top

lardville Pensaukee and Brookside were

much from buildings being blown down

northward and formed waterspout,

A fierce windstorm just missed Marinett.
The edge of it struck the village Of Pc

A Plan For Dtsarma m G mt.

The Hague. June 22.-The first com.
mittee of the peace conference will ex-
anime the first clause of the Russian cir
cular of Dec. &c. 1898, concerning the
nonincrease Of military strength by the
various powers and the dimnution in
the future of these forces and the de-
crease of the military budgets. 1t seems
thai the car ordered his delegates to
press the matter with all possible eXpedi-
ton Russia offering, II necessary. to
withdraw her new navy building scheme.
The delegates are discreetly reticent as
to the possibility of an agreement on the
matter. 1t is probable Russia will sub
nit plan for decreasing the general
military strength. The committee on ar
bitration will reassemble, bat will prob
ably do very little in consequence of the
absence of Nj. Bourgeois.
