In the sixty diminutive rooms of
the hotel 125 persons were crowded
when the flames broke out Only
fourteen of them were residents of
Chicago. The others were stoclzmen
and farmers attracted here by the
live stock show or railway mail clerks
and travelling men who could not Sc
cure accommodations at other hotels.
All the space possible was utilized
Even the hallway closets contained
cots on which men were asleep.
though there was not enough room in
these improvised bedrooms for
chair in addition to the cot. In one
room on the top floor the window of
which opened to the only fire escape
on the building, was a bed and a cot,
AIT effective barrier, in the darkness
and smoke, to this means of escape.
With almost the first burst of flame
the fuses the electric switch boards
burned out, stopping the elevators
and leaving the building in total dark
ness.
Before the fire department could ar
rive, in response to the alarm were
flames roaring from the rear windows
OF the building. Faces, white with ter
ror, were appearing at the front win
dows of the upper story. From the
sides of the Inflated building men
and women, shivering and half clad,
wene Ieaping or sliding to the roofs
The cries of the men imprisoned
on the top floors could be heard above
the CHATTER of the fire engines and the
roar of the flames The proprietor of
the hotel asserts that he started to
mount to the endangered men and
lead them to the windows where
they could safely reach the roofs on
either side of the hotel, but that he
was stopped by the f1remen. At that
time, he declares, all could have been
saved if some one familiar with the
upper floor had been allowed to show
them the way to the windows The
fremen contradict this. and say no
one could have reached the fourth
floor through the rapidly increasing
volumes of smoke When fire-insur-
ance patrol, No. 6, arrived, its mem
bers started up the stairs from the
office to the third floor to rescue the
men, whose cries were rapidly becom-
ing weaker. but their captain refused
to permit them to face almost certain
suffocation, and ordered them to re-
turn.
The escapes of some of the occu-
pants of the rooms were little short
of miraculous. Six men. a woman
and a little boy, saved themselves by
jumping to the roof of a restaurant

How Sour Soils Are Made.

The black prairie soils are invari-
ably rich in nitrogen and potash, be-
cause they are largely composed of the
charcoal of decayed vegetation. The
accumulation produced has been pre-
vented from total decomposition by
the water lying heavily in the soils
and excluding the air. The drifting
sands and clay silt, and the earth in
which the plants were rooted supply
suf-cient mineral matter to make them
into healthy soils, which settle grad
ua1ly to a fairly firm mass, except in
some parts where the water lay stag
nant too heavily the year round. The
last condition allowed only a growth
of water plants like sphagnums. and
resulted in what are termed bogus
Soils too deficient in mineral matter
to properly support farm crops. AS
portion of each years vegetation be-
came entirely decomposed and the
charcoal bodies. or carbon structures,
were burned out and passed off into
the air as carbon gas, humus was de-
posted through the mass, thus max
ing food for plants to be taken up by
them in absorbing the soil waters

National Bureau of Forestry.

The work of the Bureau Of Forestry
Is now being carried on in 20 states
The Bureau appointed 80 new student
assistants for this season, the entire
field force numbering 165 men, The
work includes, among other things
the gathering of the necessary data
for several working plans, study of
q number of wel1-known commercial
trees, the examination of farm wood
lots, and a study OF the treeIess areas
with view of devising plans for for
est extension. The Bureau of For
estry began the new fiscal year of
1e02-19o3 with appropriation of
1921 $50 The amount for the pre-
yIous year was S1S5,44o- This in
creased appropriation shows how this
work commends itself to Congress.
and it makes possible a much wider
range of work The present seasons
work is by far the most varied and
interesting yet undertaken by the
Bureau of Forestry, and is being car
ried on in Maine, New Hampshire
Vermont, Massachusetts, New York,
New Jersey, Maryland, Tennessee,
Kentucky, West Virginia, North Caro-
lima. Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Montana,
Arizona and California Later In
the season it will be extended to still
other states and territories.

Chick-Pea or Gram.

A Smelling pea, practically unknown
in this country, is the chick-pea (Cicer
arietinum), the garbanzos of Spanish
cookery, or the gram of India. 1t is
largely cultivated in southern Europe
in Spanish America and many parts
of the East, especially British India
whence it is exported. 1t is stiff
upright plant, covered with hairs and
bearing inflated pods containing a few
curiously shaped seeds; the two 1obes
distinctly marked and the germinal
point very prominent These peas are
eaten boiled, but more commonly
roasted This roasted pea seems to
have been much in use in Roman
times, the phrase fricti ciceris emptor
buyer of roasted chick-peas," mean
ing in conversation a poor fellow.

Farm Economies.

There was a great failure in New
York not long ago which involved mil
lions of dollars. Investigation showed
that the failure was due very largely
to the neglect of small economies, the
saving of a few cents here and Of a
few dollars there The waste had
gone on for quarter of a century and
had resulted in bankruptcy How many
farms have been lost because of the
reckless way their owners had of do
ing business? The best thinkers on
this subject have been for years ad-
vising every farmer to keep books and
by that means looking after the big
and the little things The little in
comes and the little outgoes are al
most lost sight of, and even the big
things and transactions are too sell
dom properly accounted for. We do
not wish to advise the farmer to put
his family on shorter fare than at the
present time, but we do wish to urge
that he know where his money is go
ing to and where the money Is coming
from that is to meet his future obliga-
TONS We do wish him to know
whether his various farm operations
are all bringing him a profit. 1t not
infrequently happens that a certain
crop will be grown on the farm for
years without ever paying profit 1t
would be economy to know fully the
truth about such a crop and cease to
grow it. To cease to lose money in
that way is one of the most necessary
farm economies. 1t might be we'll to
inquire Con some farmS) if the money
that is being put into that embryonic

Has account been taken of all the
little expenses incurred in his deveI-
oping? To save these expenses Gin
CURED on gamb1e") is a worthy
farm economy. 1t is economy to put
the farm tools in out of the sun and
rain and cover them with preparations
that will protect them from the damp
ness that everywhere exists. Not the
least of the economies on the farm is
the saving of time. the shortest way
to do this is to have place for every
thing on the farm and to see that
everything is kept where it belongs.
This will save both time and effort.

reach the top of the building In a

they found Mrs. Nina Be1der, her Ii

they do any way, for the shade from
