on days like Tuesday the man be-
hind the shovel down in the neat boiler
house is the one who plays an i'm
portant part. The great windows and
corridors of the State House allow cir
circulation Of air with the circulatory
system. and it requires care To keep all
parts Of the great building warm when
tho thermometers outsire the windows
are registering zero weather.
During this winter season a man is
kept at work constantly in the boiler
house, John Mcdonald having this
part of the work. He watch IS the
fires under the two splendid boilers
ON days like Tuesday, he keeps the
gauges standing at 20 pounds pressure
for it needs that to keep up the proper
circulation in the pipes.
And that boiler house is as clean as
any other room. The buff brick finish is
as neat as anything one could imagine.
There is neither dust nor dirt any
whore and no coal is visible, for it is
ali kept in the bunkcrs behind the
closed doors. In these bunkcrs one will
find all amounts up to 100 tons at q
time.
In the meantime while Jack is keep

needle on the gauge on the point of %
Jack Libby is about the building regu-
latins the heat. Here and there he
looks at the thermometers ana in ali
parts Of the building, even though the
day was cold, hardly place could b.
found where it did not register cX-
actly 20 degrees. If it gets too warm
somewhere the remedy is at hand and
if too cold the other cure is ready to
lie applied.

The Provincial Health Authorities Rcpcr,
Small Prevalence Of Smallpox.

The State has not been badly fright.
ened this winter with the thoughts OF
disease, but nevertheless the prccau-
tionary measures have not been in til,
least abated by the State board OF
health. For even though Maine has
Been practically free, there has been
something going on outside Maine
worthy of notice. 1t certainly locked
for time to the people of the provin-
cos as though they were in for q siege
OF smallpox.
The worst part of it all was in New
Brunswick. Secretary A. q. Young,
who is In constant communication with
the heads of the state ana provincial
board, of course heard of the small
outbreak of smallpox in Toronto and
in New Brunswick. and he has kept
himself fully posted on the cases.
1t seems that one man did all the
work in New Brunswick that brought
about the spread Of many cases. This
was a tramp, and wherever he went
he left the disease. At every house ana
in railroad cars he left his mark. The
disease is 50 Well il hand that nothing
Of consequence is feared beyond that
which has already happened.
New Brunswick. and especially the
CITY of st. john. is in so direct COM
niunication with Maine by rail that
when anything happens there. it at
tracts the attention Of the Maine Of
ticialS. They are warned by the United
States authorities even if they do not
Rear themselves Of what is going on.
The condition. 50 the health authorities
Of New Brunswick inform Or. Young

t..-.,. Ii. The only case i'll st. John is
one that was quarantined as soon as
the patient had been released by one
of the small towns boards of health be
fore the city authorities thought was
safe All other cases are north Of
St. John quite a distance.
The disease over in the other terli-
tory. west Of Maine. is not Of 50 great
consequence as the New Brunswick
part.
