Fire at the Robertson Paper Mil.

A fire at the Robertson paper mill on
Canal street was the cause of an alarm
being sounded about II o'clock Monday
night. The fire caught in the boiler room
in some light fuel, and rapidly spread un-
til the wood work in the room was ablaze
and the fire reached the roof. AS the fire
was discovered almost as soon as started,
by prompt measures and fortunately with
plenty of water II was soon under control
with comparatively little loss, as the dam

ture gets down about zero. Hundreds
of the birds and animals that are ma
tives of tropical countries would con-
tract colds and pneumonia and con-
sumption if the temperature in their
houses were not kept perfectly even
The fires must be watched day and
night and intelligent keepers ara
constantly in attendance. Then, too
the food must be prepared in Ger
tain way and if any animal is the
least indisposed he is given medicine
and treated as tenderly as if he were
a human being.
AT the Bronx now there are about
1000 animals, and in the Central Park
menagerie about 400. Many of these
animals are very expensive and in
the event of their death would be
hard to replace The most expensive
animal is the rhinoceros, which is
valued at ST., 900. The one in Central
park is 60 years old, but according to
the best accounts of naturalists he
has 80 or 40 years to live yet, if he
reaches the full span of his exist
ence. The price of an elephant varies
from $500 to 50, 500, and his longevity
is usually placed at from so to 60
years. Lions are worth all the way
from $500 to $1,000, and live N be
from 20 to 80 years old. The ages Ut
other animals run from 10 to Is
years.
Aside from the expense of acquir-
ing two such menageries as those in
the Bronx and Central park the cost
of maintaining them is enormous
Many of the animals must have beef,
and they must have it in large guam
titles, which at the present high
price even for inferior cuts (but the
quality must be of the highest), re-
quires the expenditure of thousands
of dollars during the year. Then
there is a large corps of keepers,
many of whom must be skilled in
their line of work, the expense OF
heating and numerous incidentala
that make a total sufficiently large
to cause the tax dodgers to dodge
all the harder. 1t costs over 100000

BEDROOM VENTILATION
1t II as Essential in Winter M II II
In Summer and Should Not B1
Neglected.

Do not forget, says Good House
keeping, that fresh air is as neces-
sary in winter as in summer. The
old method of actually mailing up
the windows for the winter has, hap
PLY, gone out of fashion, along with
the feather bed, now SO seldom
found, even in the homes of the coun-
try residents, where once it reigned
supreme. Whether the windows are
hung on weights or not, they should
be made to open from both top and
bottom at all seasons of the year.
1t is well to have bedroom doors
fit closely, so that drafts will not
strike the feet while undressing; and
low chair or box is very convenient
to use while putting on shoes. II
the top OF small box is hinged and
the box covered with pretty creton,
it may be also utilized for keeping
small articles in, and will be also
quite ornamental. If gas is left
burning through the night there is
danger. Naturally, the gas is turned
low, and, as frequently occurs be-
tween midnight and morning, cur
rent may be turned off for minute,
when, of course, the blaze goes out.
Presently the flow of gas returns,
and there is an escape. If gas must
be used, warm the chamber thor
oughly before bedtime. Ventilate
by windows slightly opened at the
top, then trust largely to the heat
furnished by extra bedclothing. With
proper management gas stove or a
gas leg may be run at small expense.
1t is hard to teach people that a
moderate amount of gas gives quite
as much warmth after a room has
been heated to a certain tempera-
ture. as if turned on at full blast.
Never allow gas to ''burn air." as the
escaping noise is called when it flares
at the highest point. There is less
heat given out from it then than if
1t were turned lower.

The company upon whose property
the stable sets and for whose purpose
it is employed is one of the largest i'm
porters of American onyx in America.
Nearly five years ago their attention
was called to an importation of onyx
that came from Vera Cruz-the main
Mexican port for the Importation OF
the stone-and which lay on steam
er's dock in New York harbor.
The stone was so hard it turned the
edge of every cutting tool they had In
their equipment, and they realized that
as beautiful as the material was it was
not practical for any commercial pur-
pose.
The entire consignmentwas takento
lot belonging to themi in the outskirts
and lay for nearly five years.
When a new stable was planned one
of the officials said: "Why not use the
onyx for its foundations?"
No sooner suggested than done. The
blocks were of just the right size and
there was no questioning their solidity.
Now-supportinga structure of COM
mon, ordinary Philadelphia red brick
the Mexican onyx blocks are fulfilling
a useful but humble mission.

CHARMING PRINCESS.
Pretty Daughter of the House OF

Caroline Elizabeth Ida, of Reuss,
IL really pretty-even if she is a
princess-and she is about to marry
young Grand Duke Wilhelm Ernst, of
Saxe-Weimar, who is highly inter-
esting on two counts. First, he is
said to be one of the richest rulers
in Europe, although he is scarcely
more than boy; and, second, he is

as Queen Wilhelmina has no chill
dlen. The grand duke doesn't like
the idea of being a Dutch king, and
has said he wouldn't be one, whether
or no. The prospect of being a
queen may, however. appeal to the
chosen bride, and alter the situation.
Anyway, the twain are an important
pair. The princess, who is only IS,
has sturdy. independent blood in her
veins, and comes from one of the
unique lineages of German royalty.
She is the youngest daughter of

Philadelphia boasts the mostcurious

It puts to blush the pretensions Of
the palatial stables of ancient Rome
or the luxurious quarters where the
Croesus of the present day houses the
thoroughbreds that bring fame to his
colors-for its very foundations are of
Mexican onyx, reports the Press of
that city.
More than that, there are two big
freight carloads of this rich product
of Mexico's mountains and plains
buried underground to support the
modest building that is at once Phila-
delphia's most unique abode for horses.
