Advantage. In snok.Ie.. Powder.

Cape Town. Feb. 5.-One principle
competent military observers deduct
from our assaults on the Boer position
is that with modern magazine rifles
usiur smokeiess powder, the defense Is
ten 10 one as compared with the attack,
while formerly the rule was three to
one. The results at Mafeking and kim
bsrley are evidences Of this principle,
equally with British experience at Ma
gersfontein.
A wonderful change is taking place
In the army. The British are grasping
tbe new conditions of warfare. Our
scouts, mounted infantry, Remington
yuides. LIttle's corps Of Australians
md New Zealanders, are quite able now
no. cope with the Beers. Our Infantry

One Fireman Killed and Several Injured
Loss of . .hON 600


St Louis, Feb. 4.-Property to the
estimated value of S1,5Oo,0oO was
burned to-day, the greater part of four
blocks of buildings and their contents
between Third and Sixth streets and
Franklin avenue and Morgan street, in
the heart of the retail section, being de-
stroyed.
One fireman was killed. nine other
members of the fire department were
injured more or less seriously, and five
or six citizens slightly hurt. None of
the injured will die as far as known to-
night.
The fire broke out at 8 o'clock in the
hve-story brick building at Broadway
and Franklin avenue. occupied by the
dry goods firm of Penny & Gentles
and In few minutes enveloped the en-
tire structure. Sparks and brands We're
blown in every direction by strong
northwest wind, and the destruction of
adjoining property wns threatened. A
general alarm was turned In and soon
every engine in the city was at the
scene or on the way there.
ON the south OF Penny < Gentles' the
flames communicated with the build
ings occupied by Schnper Brothers, dry
goods, and the Famous dry goods store
It was not long before the upper
floors and walls of the building op-
pOsite Penny & Gentles on Broadway
began to fall. Casualties to firemen
We're numerous. When the walls of
Deere Brothers. and 1o-cent store col
lapsed, several members of engine COM
pany No. IL were In the building. Four
Bremen were covered by the debris. and
IT was several hours before they could
be taken out
Charles Mappes, a pipeman, had been
crushed TO death and several injured.
John Judge, foreman of No. IL. was
wedged In with debris! Across his feet
lay the body OF Mappes, but with n
cool head he directed the efforts of his
comrades in their work of rescue.
When he was finally removed he was
taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
where several others of the injured had
been removed.
From Broadway the flames ate their
way through to n number OF three and
four-story structures occupied by num-
erous firms In various lines of business.
These We're soon on fire from top To

PI,vs Franks on the Compass.

According to a naval official a peculiar
state of affairs exists in the eastern part
OF the state of Maine. He says that
while going through many of the passages
he noticed that the compass swings
around from one to two points. This
il especially noticed In Deer Island pas
sage, and in some places is very danger
GUS to vessels as in thick weather the de-
Walton is sufficient to put them ashore.
He says he has noticed this deviation es-
pecially between South Mark island and
Dry Halibut rock. In passing Mark
island the deviation is from three-fourths
to one and one-half points, and from the
time this trouble is first noticed until the
vessel passes out OF the magnetic belt re-
quires about eight minutes time.
Some Of the residents Of the islands say
that magnetic ore on Camps island is the
cause OF the compass deviation. The
captain of one steamer told him that the
ore is particularly noticeable on Mar
shall's island, and he has observed that
the greatest deviation is at high water.
The tripod on Dry Halibut rock has
been boarded up solidly with heavy
planks. This is for the purpose of giving
back an echo in thick weather. The cap
tains of vessels have got so they can de-
termine their position quite accurately by
this means. Some OF the old captains say
that fog will give back an echo, but II
seldom deceives an experienced mariner.
