Sir William Garstin, under secretary
OF the Public Works Department OF
the Egyptian government, has submit,
ted to the British imperial government
a gigantic engineering project, which,
with the existing dams and irrigating
canals, would enable the river Nile to
be kept in constant flow and make OF
the whole vast Nile basin the richest
agricultural area in the world, regu.
larly raising two crops every year.
The scheme is to raise the level OF
Lake Tsana, which lies high on the
Abyssinian plateau, five meters. By
this means 1872 trillion million cubic
meters of water could be stored for the
dry season. The assent Of King Meme
lex is necessary to this work, which
Lord Cromer does not deem impossi-
BILE to obtain. even in, the face of strong
ranco- Russian opposition.

Graduates OF the Naval Academy in
Annapolis who have attained the
highest rank have heretofore besn
sent abroad for postgraduate course
in naval architecture at Greenwich or
Glasgow or the Ecole Polytechnique
in France. 1t ought to be matter Of
pride to Americans that hereafter
they will study at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. The Annapo-
lis graduates have always taken the

thing to teach our young men, but
they do say that they have nothing
which is not now taught as well or

In her actions, and by her causeless

screaming. hallooing and other wild

A 100000 BLAZE
Visits ReynoldsviIe and Destroys Our Modern Public
School Building.
Building Doyed-Inured $4,000

The magnificent and imposing buff
colored brick school building, of which
our townspeople were justly proud, is
now in ruins. When the alarm was
given about 800 p. m. Saturday the
news spread through town like wildfire
that the public school building was
where the fire fiend was doing his work,
and in a few minutes the largest crowd
that ever witnessed fire in Reynolds
vile had assembled on the school house
hill. The firemen were prompt in re-
spending to the fire alarm and were
soon working hard to save the building,
but they we're handicapped by the lack
OF pressure in the water line and were
unable to successfully combat with the
flames, although they were as deter
mined and persistent set Of men as
ever attempted to conquer red-tongusd
flames, yet their hard work was in vain
and the fire, famed by a strong breeze,
spread rapidly through the building.
In an hour after the fire was discovered
all that remained Of our beautiful school
building was the outside walls and large
chimneys.
There was much lamentation and
| many tears shed when 1t was discovered
that the building could not be saved.
The burning of no other structure in
town could have effected the people as
this did, because it is one in which
every person is personally interest
ed. All the citizens can say, ''our
building"
The origin of the fire is unknown, but
the supposition is that it originated in
the basement Of the building. The
janitor had not been in the building in
the afternoon and the fire was not dis
covered until after it had good start
in the center OF the building
On account OF the direction the wind
was blowing at the time Of fire the
nearby dwelling houses were not in
much danger, but had the wind changed
toward the north little it would have
been almost impossible to have saved
Richard Smiths house with the lack OF
water pressure, for at that time there
was not force enough In the line to
throw water into the second story OF
the school building but at eleven
o'clock that night-the firemen worked
until two o'clock Sunday morning
there was pressure enough to throw q
stream Of water over the school house
walls.
This school building was erected In
1896 at cost OF $4,000, not including
the seats, black boards and other fur
nishings. The building was 92x05 feet
The walls 30 feet high, with a tower A
feet above the main roof. There were
fifteen class rooms, two rotundas, foui
toilet rooms and principals Office OF
first and second floors and the assembly
hall was on third floor. The building
was heated and ventilated by. the Smeai
system. There we're five large and twt
small furnaces in the basement. Th'
total loss will amount to $4,000, In
The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1901-02-20

cluding blackboards, seats, maps, books,
&c. The library contained 1000 vol
umes Of excellent books, which were
worth 100000, the labratory was we'll
equipped, worth at least $4,000. There
were 600 opera chairs and a piano in
Assembly hall. Besides these the
school had expended over $4,000 in
fixing up the stage, putting In electric
and gas lights, &c. The building was
insured for $4,000.
Prof. G. w. Lenkerd, principal of the
schools, lost his entire library, 500 vol
umes, scientific apparatus, &c, which
he would not have taken $4,000 for.
All the specimen work and school
records were also destroyed. The
schools savings bank ledger, which
was in the principals Office desk, was
dug out Of the debris Sunday and is In
fair condition, so there will be no
trouble about each pupils bank account.
1t was thought Saturday evening that
it would be impossible to secure vacant
rooms enough to accommodate the
schools for the balance OF present term
three months-but provision has been
made for all the rooms and school will
begin next Monday. The directors
have ordered new books and the Dubois
school board has kindly offered to loan
the Reynoldsville schools a number OF
seats that are not in use in, the Dubois
schools at present. The following
places have been offered and will be
fitted up this week so that there will be
no trouble about starting school Monday
morning:
Room No. in hose house No. 2; No.
3, in King & Co.'s hall; No. 4, in Bap-
tist chapel; No. 5, Bells banquet hall;
No. 6, Presbyterian chapel; No. I, Cen

Chapel exercises were held and short
addresses were made by Prof. Lenkerd
Rev. Reno aud Rev. Meek. One OF the
objects of this meeting was to ascertain
the number Of books that the pupils
had out so the school board would know
just how many had been burned and
the number OF new books to order.
