The fees fixed for building permits
are practically the same as those now
in force. but there are new items for
which permits are required. The most
important of these is the requirement
that no heating apparatus can be in

nit being first obtained. This is meant
to include dwellings as we'll as other
buildings.
Greater safeguards are also thrown

ing strains, all stairs. elevator enclos-
ures, roofs ana partitions shall be con-
structed entirely of incombustibe ma
terial and all metallic structural mem-
bers shall be protected from the effect

der ninety feet high outside the fire
limits must be of mill or slow burn
ing construction. The wooden beams of
these buildings must be by II and
the posts 10 by TO- The floors must
be not less than three and Il half in
ches in thickness.
The ordinance provides rigid regula-
tons for the sheathing of elevator
shafts for protection against fire and
imposes upon the inspector the duty
of seeing that the laws prescribing
locks for elevator doors are enforced.
1t also provides that he shall enforce
the act providing for the placing of
scaffolding boards on every story
above the third of Il building In course
of construction.

beyond the main building line Is strict
~ prohibited unless they are construct
ed of brick or some other ncombustible

THE BIRDS OF MIDSUMMER.

One may occasionally hear the red-cyed
Vireo in August, but it Is low tide with
him too. His song has a reminiscent air,
like that of the indigo. The whppoor-
will calls fitfully in this month. and may
be heard even in September; but he qui *
ly checks himself, as II he knew it was
out of season. In the Adirondacks haze
heard the specified Canada warbler in
August, and the white throated sparrow.
But nearly all the migratory birds begin
to get restless during this month. They
cut loose from their nesting haunts and
drift through the woods in promiscuous
bands, ana many of them start on their
southern journey From my woods along
the Hudson the warbers all disappear
before the middle of the month. Some of
them are probably in hiding during the
moulting season, The orioles begin to
move south about the middle of tho
month and by the first Of September the
last of them have passed. They OCCASION
ally sing in a suppressed tone during this
time, probably the young males trying
their Instruments. 1t Is at this time,
when fun of frolc and mischief, like any
Other smigrants with faces set to new
lands. that they make such havoc in the
Hudson river vineyards. They seem to
puncture the grapes in the spirit of pure
wantoness, as If on a wager as to who
can puncture the most. The swallows
the Clin and barn-all leave in August US
uallY by the Goth though the swift may
be seen as late as October. | notice that
our poets often detain the swallow much
beyond the proper date. one OF them
makes them perch upon the barn in Oc-
tobcr. Another poet makes them noisy
about the eav9s in Indian summer. An
English poet makes the swallow go at No
vcmber's bidding. Long ere this date
they are in tropical climes They begin
to flock, and apparently rehearse the mi.
grating programme, In July.
The bobolnks go in early August with
the red shouldered starings, and alorg
the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay they
become the reod-birds of sportsmen. One
often hears them In this month calling
from high in the air as they journey
southwark from more northern latitudes.
