The storms by sea and land of the
late autumn and the beginning OF win
ter have been unusual in their violence
and in the sweep of their effects.
Ocean navigation has been disturbed
to an unnatural degree even for the

steamers have been buffeted by ad-
verse winds and waves and some of
the stanchest vessels have been in
serious danger. There has been an IN
usual number of disasters the At

life. The tempests on the lakes have
been violent and disastrous to vessel
property. In some wrecks the crews

THE Jews In GREECE.
Full Rights AS Citizens Arc Denied
the Race ia King Georges
Realm.

Whatever may have been the con-
nections between Greeks and Jews
in the past, the points of contact
comparatively few, for the Jewish
population in the kingdom of King
George appears to be not only small,
but stationary. Its numbers, which
in 1891 are given at 5,792, are re-
turned in 1901 as $500, or net in
crease of eight in ten years. Small
ness of numbers need not affect the
natural interest which English Jews
feel in their Greek brethren, and par
ticularly English Jews, for it was
largely owing TO the efforts of the
British government that Greece be-
came an independent kingdom. More
over, the fact that the Ionian islands
were direct gift from this country
to Greece intensities the interest of
English Jews in the fate of their
brethren in that part of the Greek
kingdom. 1t Is true that the hand
full of Greek Jews have no legal or
state made disa bilities like the Jews
of Russia and Roumania. says the
Jewish Messenger. In principle the
fullest equality obtains. But in prac-
tice, even so ardent an apologist for
the Greek government as DR.. Belleli
has to admit that it would be "pre-
posterous" to argue that "the Jews
actually enjoy in Greece full rights" "
When the premier of a country
publicly declares that all Jews ought
to be put back so years 1t is idle to
contend that the Jews of that coun-
try are emancipated in fact, what
ever they may be in name. The truth
of the matter seems to be that in
emancipating the Jews the Greek au-
thorities, like the authorities in
France, were considerably in ad-
vance of the sentiment of the people
as whole. This popular backward
ness found brutal expression in the
ritual excesses some years ago-eX-
cesses which drove Jews away from
the Ionian islands, where they had
once enjoyed the fullest liberty un-
der the British and whose effects
have even now not entirely vanished.
1t seems as though the long enslave-
ment of a people tends to crush out
it's ideas of liberty and to make of it
tyrant when it In turn becomes
free. The case of Roumania, per-
haps, is a much more striking illus
tration of this than that of Greece.
Still, the decorations conferred by
the Greek government on several
Jews may betoken the development
of better feeling toward the Jews.
In the ordinary course of things it
would only be natural to anticipate
the evolution of the ideas of a peo-
pie like the Greeks in the direction
of liberty of thought and freedom of
conscience.

North America has 209, $50 miles Of

Since the big Lucas oil geyser was

The market for bridges is for great

where. The states have now 100000
miles of railways, and it has been es-

one span of metallic bridge for every
three miles of railway. This gives 63,

COST OF PUTTING OUT FIRES.
New iGl Il City spends Most Money for
This, and of Course Does
II Best.

The cost of the New York city fire
department, the efficiency of which
is unchallenged, is $500, 900 and it is
somewhat curious circumstance
that the increased cost of the depart
ment, made necessary by Albany leg
isiA;.on for the most part, has been
since consolidation almost exactly

ment cost $3,200.000. In 1899 1t was
$3,300,000. In 1900 it was s., 400, ,OOO
and the appropriation for this year
is S3,50O,00O, the demands upon the
department increasing, of course, as
the population in the city enlarges,
and fires multiply, says the Sun.
Chicago, which has suffered more
severely from a great contiagration
than any other large American city,
expends $1,500,000 a year for the
maintenance of it's fire department,
and Boston. which has suffered Sc
verely In the same direction, though
very much less populous and n much
more compact city than Chicago, ex-
ponds $l,20O,000, In fact, 1t has come
to be accepted as an axiom among
fire department officials that those
cities which have suffered most from
fires are the ones which make the
most liberal provision for their de-
partments, while those cities which
have not suffered seriously do not
provide much for fire protection.
Southern cities generally spend lit
tie on their fire service, and it has
been found generally that the ratio
of cost increases as the population
becomes more compact. In respect
to celebrity i'll responding to fire
alarms some western cities, notably
Kansas City, have made good records
but none of them compares favorably
with New York either for speed or
efficiency,
