Dead People Roomed Above Theatre an,
Escape Was Cut or.

Ironwood, Mich, Nov. 6.-Ten lives
were lost and four buildings destroyed
by a fire which started in a Klondike
theatre at Hurley. Wis. today.
The klondike was a vaudeville thea
ire and all of the dead and injured were
connected with it as performers. Most
of the them lived ut Hurley The fire
started on the stage and in Il few min
utes the entire structure was mass OF
flames. The third story was used as
sleeping quarters and the rapid spread
of the fire cut off the escape of the oc-
cupants.
The theatre building was quickly con
sumed and the flames spread to ad-
joining structures. The IronWood fire
department was called 10 the assistance
Of the Hurley tiremen and only by the
hardest work was the town saved from
being wiped out. The losses aggregate
$4,000.
The charred remains of six of the
victims have beer recovered.

fore in 1887, when II women lost their

GAUGINC; THE DEPTH WITHOUT
SOUNDING

tNeW Orleans Times DemocratD
River men have but little trouble in
telling how deep the water is if they
know the stream and its habits" said
an old steamboat captain. and if con-
dtionS ere normal they can tell it by
the surface disturbance. by the ripple
of the waves. Streams. of course. have
their erratic moods. just as men do.
and when :hcy are in this condition
the river man would be at Il diSa.ivan-
tage in estimating the depth Of the
water at given point The course of
the currents may for some reason be
violently diverted, or the wind may be
up. or some other condition may pre-
vail that would tend to throw a fell
low off.
But under ordinary circumstances
it is an easy matter for the river man
to tell Just how deep the water is. and
he does ii by watching the play on the
surface. The waves do the measuring
for him. The shallow water wave flat
tens somewhat. but il is more violent.
more erratic in its movements than the
wave YOU find playing on the deep
water surface. The deep water wave
is heavier and more sluggish. for the
plain reason that the force which
causes the wave scatterS more rapidly
passing on to a further depth This fact
means a great deal to the pilot who finds
himself in stream that Is new To nm.
If there is a good. stiff current ii is an
easy matter, of course. to Keep i'll tht
channel Bat jne boat passing w stream
does not move 50 rapidly if put against
tho current. so dead water becomes de-
sirabjc Dead water may be shallow. or
it may be deep, or at least deep enough
for the purposes. and in this event tn"
man who is steering the boat VIII seek
TO throw the vessel Out of the current
and give her smoother sailing.
Here is where the value of close OBJ
servation of waves will come III. If tn"
piIot can judge with sufficient accuracy
The depth of the dead water by surface
indications from his watch tower he VII!
enjoy a big advantage. ienc" the waves
frequently stand him in good stead by
serving as a sort of yard stick with which
he may measure the depth of the water,
and thus save much time and much fue!.
and still plough around the bars and the
shallow places in perfect safety.
