task. One or two were set TO watch
from the roof the progress of the de-
vastation. Walls were toppling around
them, flames mounting above them, the
ground shaking like an earthquake be-
meath them, the red fire glaring In at
the windows and cracking, kissing and
roaring in their ears, but still they
wrote on. The buildings at the north
across the street were all moved down
like grass, and still they wrote on. The
'dre-proof' postoffice went, and still
they wrote on. The limit was reached
at last-of time, not of matter-and
the brave compositors had placed the
record in type by the light Of the in
candescent atmosphere, for the gas had
ceased to flow through the jets. In
that lurid light, and In the two-fold
heat Of the fire, without the building
and the fire within their own breasts,
these artisans completed their last
take and consigned their turtles to
the pressmen far below. These fell
lows alone proved unequal to the emer-
gency; and pleading a lack of water
for steam to run their engines (Which
may have been true), they fed, leaving
the forms upon the large press, and
the candles, suddenly obtained, glim.
mered uselessly."

REV. DR.. RICHARD S. sToRRs.

His Death Removes a Leading Congre.
Eationsl Divine.
The death in Brooklyn, recently, Of
Rev. DR.. Richard Salter Storrs, pastor
of the Church of the Pilgrims, has re-
moved one of the leading Congrega-
tional divines Of the country. He was
the third clergyman in his family to
bear that distinguished name, and the
fourth clergyman in his family in direct
line.
DR.. Storrs was born in Braintree,
Mass, in 1921, and studied law for a
time in the office of Rufus Choate. He
then took up the study of theology,
graduating from Andover Theological
Seminary in 1915. For year he was
pastor Of the Harvard Congregational
Church of Brookline, Mass, and then
was called to Brooklyn, where he guild
ed the destinies of the Pilgrim Church
until November, 1899, when he re-
signed.

FACTS FOR FARMERS
SWORN STATEMENT
ABOUT WOOD PREsHRvATIvE.
Fence Post TmpreEnated with Aven-
= ~ Years and still sound.

IN an age when wild, exaggerated state-
ments of the efficiency of all kinds of
articles from patent medicines to patent
plowshares, fill the columns of the press,
Tor advertising purposes only, 1t is pleas
Ing to write about a household specific
whose usefulness has been proved beyond
the power of detractors to injure or imi-
tators to compete with
such Is AVenerius Carboiineum the
celebrated German wood preservative of
the 18th century, whose fame is destined
to outlast the 10th. 1t is not only the
greatest preparation known for arrestit.g
the decay of any kind of woodwork, above
or below ground. from the ravages of
climate. fungus or vermin. but it may be
truthfully described as the only preserva-
tive whose utility has been practically
tested and not found wanting. Since the
discovery Of Avenarius Carbolineum near
ly thirty years ago, 1t has been constantly
employed for the treatment of wood usct.
In ships, bridges. pavements, ties, tele-
graph poles. fence POSTS, house supports
and hundreds of other constructions, and
in not single case out of thousands has
it failed to render articles impregnated
immune against rot and decay whether
the attacking enemies were climate, soil,
fresh or salt water, teredoes. ants, boring
worms Or other hostiles, stngly or in COM
bination, when properly applied.
The value of such a specific on farm,
where almost all the constructive work.
from houses and barns to vine poles and
fence posts, is chiefly or entirely wood,
cannot be overestimated. No farmer who
appreciates practical economy can afford
to do without it. AS additional incentives
for the use Of Avenarius Carbolineum it
may be stated that the preparation is in
expensive, and q few gallons go a long
way. while application is as easy and SIM
pie as that of common house paint. A
few strokes of the brush does the work,
and the article treated Is insured against
decay and death.
Avenarius Carbolineum we publish the
following Photographic reproduction of
two pieces Of wood which stood side by
side partly in and partly out Of the
ground. together with a sworn statement
concerning the same attached, as seen in

1916, the population of the city was
only 10000; now it is over 1,O0O,O 600.
The church over which he was called
to preside became the parent of nine
teen other churches of that denomina-
ton in that city and among them was
Plymouth Church, inseparably asso-
ciated with the name Of Henry Ward
Beecher.
DR.. Storrs was a great worker and
was 0eeply interested In Brooklyn. The
public library there and the Long ISL
and Society are mainly due to him. He
was one Of the founders of the Inde-
pendent and one of the editors from
1S4S to 1861. During the civil war he
was an ardent supporter of the Union
and was one Of those sent by the gov
ernment to raise the flag over Fort
Sumter at the close of the war. His
lectures and writings made him well
known at home and abroad. OF his
works the Divine Origin Of Christianity
Is considered the best.

The chief charm of the Cuban beau

at reception made every effort to
have the demurely downcast lids

Los Angeles Sewage.

Although Los Angeles has a sea out
let for it's sewers, its method of dis
posing Of sewage may be suggestive
to inland communities troubled with
the sewerage problem. The California
city sells its sewage, getting a respec-
table income thereby. At present it is
furnishing fertility to 1900 acres at an
annual profit Of about $4,5OO. The
"lay" of the land facilitates this dis
posal of sewage, as 1t can all be dis
tributed by gravity. and three times
the area now supplied can be irrigated
as the supply of sewage increases with
the city's growth. Results have demon
strated that the fertilizing material in
the sewage is an important item. Ex-
hausted grounds thus treated product
bounteous crops yearly, and the farm
ers having irrigation contracts with the
city have no fear of droughts. The
soil seems to gain more from the sew
age than is taken from it In the crops.
and there is no need of following the
rules of rotation in planting.-New
York Evening Post.

AND JHf (RM1 Fire

0N the great Chicago fire Of 1871 the
daily newspaper buildings burned
were those occupied by the Tribune,
Times, Journal, Republican, Stats Eel
tung and Post, Mail and Union and the
Volks Zeitung. In addition to these
there were nineteen foreign weekly pa
pers, fifteen juvenile publications, two
agricultural journals, eighteen religious
papers, eighteen monthly magazines,
twenty-eight miscellaneous publica-
tions, making in all 12S publications
left without a home by the fire.
By Wednesday morning the daily pa
pers were out with issues that sounded
like tocsins to call every man in Chi
cago to his duty. At o'clock Monday
afternoon, while $4,000 buildings We're
burning throughout eight wards Of the
city, when the business center Of Chi
cago was swept away, while the terror
stricken people We're shrinking along
the margin of the lake, or swarmed far
out on the desolate prairies, the Even
ing Journal, true to the spirit of Chi
cago journalism, came out with small
extra, containing quite clear but very
brief account of the fire. The page is
Sx10 inches, three columns wide. Three
quarters of a column is devoted to the
"scare head" another half to the ad-
vertisement of the Board of Trade, and
the remainder Of the space to the fire.
1t is headed 1.-The Great Calamity of the
Age" Some printers on the Evening
Post rallied at job printing office on
the West Side and got out Post for
the emergency. The Tribune resumed
on Wednesday, the Mail Thursday, the
Republican Sunday, and the Times Oct.
18. The files of the Chicago Evening
Journal were rescued by Mr.. Frank Gil
bert, then associate editor of that pa
per. Being the oldest newspaper in
the city, its files go back further, and
are more valuable than any other. Mr..
Gilbert says: t.'Hurrying to the Jour-
nal Office the first thing attempted was
to close the iron shutters. The build
ing stood on Dearborn street, directly
opposite the fremont House. Gould

the side alley be closed, the building

the side alley be closed, the building
might be saved l reasoned. But they
had not been shut for years, and the
hinges of some broke off and let the
shutters down. Seeing the futility Of
trying to save the building, set about
saving the Office books and files. The
first thing was to go to such open-all-
night places near by as were likely to
have any of the printers that l knew,
and knew every jovial compositor in
those days. We soon rallied quite a
force, from six to ten, l should say.
Across the street was a livery stable.
We went over there and helped our
selves to buggies and crowbar. To
take out the Office books and papers
not in the safe and then roll the safe
to the sidewalk was a short job. The
next thing was to bring down the
files. By that time the fire lighted the
editorial room, back Of which the files
were kept, and we had no trouble in
finding our way, but it took a good
while to get them all down. My orders
were to pile them into buggies and take
them on the North Side.
WAS luc ldSL " ACdNC thS %
SO as to be sure that every file was
taken, and started north with the last
buggy. By the time we reached the
Rush street bridge 1 saw that it was a
mistake to go north, or, rather, l met a
friend, Frank Boutwell,. He was just
crossing from the North Side, and with
an enthusiasm which carried convic-
ton, declared that the whole North
Side was going to HI. We wheeled
about and went up Michigan avenue.
Mr.. Charles L. Wilson, editor and pro-
prietor of the Journal, lived just above
18th street, on Michigan, and that last
batch of files was soon in his personal
custody. Those who went north cross
ed west on Chicago avenue, and then
by long detour got to 18th street
bridge, thence to Michigan, and finally
to Mr.. Wilson's residence.
when the storm struck the offices
Of the newspapers that night, they were
busy hives. The city editor and his re-
porters rose to the emergency. Super
numerary reporters were called in and
given orders in quick, nervous tones,
They sped away and reaped harvest
of horrors much more quickly than they
could bind them for the garnering of
the editor. That garnering never hap
pened in the Times Office, for the force
was driven away by the flames before
the grand report was commenced. At
the Tribune it was otherwise. That
paper rejoiced in 'fire-proof' building,
and Sam Medil, city editor, was deter
mined to have seven-column descrip-
ton of the grand fire in the morning
whether there was any town left to
read it or not. So he mapped out the
'magnum opus of the year. One after
another of the reporters came in with
out the usual jocularity, took their
places in the local room in the top
story and commenced their desperate
