4 CLOSE GILL
HE JUMPED FROM THE WINDOW
And Was Caught by John Beck-Not
Known How the Fire Was Started.
The Loss VIII Amount to Several
Hundred Dollars.

Between IL and / o'clock yesterday
fire was discovered in the stable sit
uated in the rear OF No. As Thirty
seventh street, owned by Mrs. David
Sihler When the fire was discovered
an alarm was sent into the Eighth
ward engine house. One of the first to
discover the fire was George McEntee,
He entered the burning building and
went UP to the loft. There was stored
in the loft two full loads of hay This
burning produced dense smoke and
fell near box of oats in the south
west corner of the building. The air
near the floor being clearer, he was
somewhat revived, and feeling the box,
he being familiar with the building,
he made his way along this to a door
in the west end. But the door was
fastened and he was not able to open
it. Again feeling his way along the
floor next the wall, he made his way
across to the steps, but the door had
fallen down on his breaking it open.
He was unable to get down on ac-
count of the flames and water. He
next made his way to a small win
dow. In reaching it he touched
couple of live wires, and received quite
a shock. Putting his head out the win
dow he saw the people below who
shouted for him to jump. He did this
and was caught by John Beck, of the
South Side
When seen yesterday Mr. McEntee
stated that he felt none the worse for
his escape, save that he was slightly
sick from the effects of the smoke.
The fire, he thought, started from a
spark which had come through the
crack in a chimney which passes up
through the center of the loft
For a time the fire burned fiercely
and there was danger of the house
catching. AS it was, the paint on the
side next the fire was raised in large
blisters. The loss will amount to sew
eral hundred dollars. The building
was insured.
A number of volunteers assisted the
fire boys yesterday and they were
soaked through when the fire was out.

RAILROAD MAS "a AMEalcA.
One Department Where tho Supremacy
of tho United states is Marked.


One marked effect of the progress
)f American arms, the extension of
American supremacy in other lands
and the expansion of the foreign mar.
Set for American goods has been Il
more general demand for maps of for
algn countries. Heretofore map max.
ing for general and not for technical
or typographical requirements has
been a feature of the publishing busi-
ness of the United States, and in
and comprehensive railroad maps the
United States has long been at the
head of all countries.
The process of railroad map making
Is not so simple as might at first ap-
pear. The map maker takes n fiat cop.
per plate and smokes the face by con-
tact with the flame from a gas burner.
Then he covers it with composition
of wax and gum. 10 make the compo.
s'tion even over its surface the plate
Is heated and it is then ready to re.
ceive n transfer of the draughtsmans
work on tracing paper The back of
the paper is covered lightly with chalk
and this chalked surface is laid upon
the wax composition which covers the
copper plate. Then the ongraver with
a steel pencil goes over the lines of
drawing. As the steel point moves
over the paper the drawing is copied
on the composition.
The cngraver then goes over the
chalk lines cutting out the wax COM
position, and the next feature of the
work IS the marking upon 1t of the
names of the cities and stations and
the typographical symbols used i'm map
making. such rs circle for the coun-
ty seat, a circle with Maltese cross
in the centre for the State capital. and
an astcriSk for steamboat connections.
These typographical marks are made
with ordinary type, which fit into Il
hand stamp.
The name of each place, in what.
ever form of type is desired is
stamped upon the soft surface of the
composition layer, and when there has
been completed by this process copy
of the drawing, Il copper electrotypc
of it Is made, from which the map is
printed.
There are fully 500 railroad compa-
MES in the United States requiring
maps of their line or system, as the
case may be, for distribution Some
Of these maps are for advertisements;
some are circulated for the conve-
nience of travellers and contain on one
side time tables; some are framed at
railroad stations; others are sent to
hotels others are in demand by drum
mers, shippers and freight agents, and
still others are sent abroad.
Compared with the clumsy. eXpen-
sive, often misleading and always I'M
satisfactory railroad maps of other
countries, and especially those pub
lished on the continent of Europe, the
supremacy of the American maps is
marked
