Flames Destroy Property Worth
Nearly $3,OOO,OOO in Montreal
Board of Trade Burned

Montreal, Can, Jan. 24.-One of the
most destructive fires from which this
city has ever suffered began at eight
o'clock Wednesday night, and, not
withstanding the efforts of the entire
fire department, the progress of the
flames was not checked until one
o'clock this morning. By that time it
had destroyed property valued at be-
tween $2,5OO,OOO and 100000 and was
still burning, though the appearance
was that the fremen have at last
got it under control. Included in the
property burned is the splendid board
of trade building, which cost over
100000. with over hundred tenants
and half a dozen large firms and two
score of smaller concerns. The
weather was cold and the fremen
were greatly hampered in this respect.

The early years of Victoria's reign were
full of interest and excitement. There
were the rebellion in Canada, the anti
corn league. the chartist agitation. the
Jamaica question, the never-ending Irish
question, the Afghan war and the war
with China. Along with these events
came the introduction of many of the
great discoveries in science, industry and
commerce which are now considered spe-
cially representative of modern civiliza-
ton.
February 10. 1910, Queen Victoria was
married to her cousin. Prince Albert of
Saxe-Coburg -Gotha- This was love
match, pure and simple, but the young

conduct the negotiations mainly by her
self. Prince Albert died December H.

of the union. Their names and date of
birth are:

The reign of Victoria will be noted in
history as the longest of any English
sovereign. 1t covers a period of 63 years.
George III lived to be as old. but his
reign was four years shorter. That other
great English Queen, Elizabeth. was IL
years younger when she died, and her
reign was but As years. During her long
period of rule Victoria has endeared her
self to the English people and has been
beloved by them. She was as happy in
her death as she was in her life. She had
reached an extreme age and was useful

An Indianapolis paper says that
five or six years ago Bradford man
bought an orange tree from local
florist. He placed the tree in the hot
house of another florist, after time,
and this season the tree is bearing
fruit which has every outward ap-
pearance of being lemons, although
the pulp is sweet and is evidently
orange pulp. The owner of the tree
can not account for the change. The
oranges formerly on the tree were
fine, round fruit, but this years fruit
is oval in shape.

Many watches make beats per
second, 300 each minute, $4,000 every
hour, or $4,000 per day. Thus it will
be seen that a half dozen turns of the

onds of time, stores up modicum
of power in the spring which is cut
up into nearly 100000 beats. If you
multiply the daily beats by 365A, the

that the watch ticks 157,7SS,OOO times
while the earth is making one an

Hot water quenches thirst in most
Instances better than cold. Taken
regularly at the rate of one glassful
