Jewish families were crowded into the
three upper floors, which still were I'M
touched, and when they sought to escape
they found partly demolished stairway
leading down from the third floor already
wrapped in flames. When they turned
to the fire escapes they found they had
been torn away below the third floor,
and descent was impossible. Some jump
ed from the lowest points they could
reach and escaped with their lives. Fire
men managed to rescue q number from
the top floor, but in doing so six men OF
the department were hurt, one so serl-
ously that he is not expected to live. Ihe
TOP landing Of the rear fire escape was
pulled loose from the wall while they
were at work helping tenants and fell

The fire was under control within five

HOW Two French Cities Manage to
Keep the Streets Clean.

HOW Two French Cities Manage I'd
Keep the Streets Clean.
IN the city of Lyons, France, no spe-
c1al means have ever been employed
for the disposition Of garbage, says
the Municipal Journal and Engineer.
The inhabitants of the city generally
live in apartments. They dump their
garbage into large tubs which are
placed in the entrance to the building
and which, when full, are left on the
curb Of the street to be carried away
in carts that call daily before 10
o'clock a. N. The contractors who
carry off this garbage are free to do
what they please with It. The work
costs the city annually about 500, 639.
The streets Of Lyons are swept
three times week with heavy hickory
brooms. They are washed daily with
water driven from hydrants through
long hose. The water is thus squirt
ed into the cracks between the stones,
and whatever refuse may remain after
the sweeping is thus drained off into
the sewers. All the work of cleaning
the streets is done by manual labor,
no machines being used.
The two rivers Rhone ard Saone
flow through the city, and the waste
water from the apartments is carried
off into one Of them by sewers, accord
ing to the proximity to one or the
other Of the streams.
The exact cost per cubic foor or per
ton of removing and destroying gar
bage is not knwn. In Paris, where the
garbage was burned, the entire oper-
ation-removing interest on plant at
2 per cent-costs 4S cents a ton. The
rubbish generally receives the care
full attention of ragpickers and after
1t has been conveyed to the incinera-
tor a number of ragpickers are author
lied, as a special privilege, to go
through the mass of debris and appro-
pirate what they find, such as bits Of
tin, sardine boxes, fruit cans, corks,
pieces Of glass and bottles, scraps Of
paper, wood, etc. All the scraps thus
rescued from the incinerator find
ready purchasers-the tin and solder
remaining on the tin are used in the
manufacture Of toys for children; the
corks are ground up and reconstruct
ed into cork bark or are sent to limo
leum factories. The work of picking
over the rubbish for salable things
will hereafter be confined to employees
of the city.

OUR VAST SCHOOL ARMY.
Fully 100000 Persons in Our vari-
Gus Educational Institutions.

According to the bureau of education,
the school enrolment for the year end
ing June, 1902, was 17,4600OO. This
is the latest complete total available;
but, according to the normal rate of in
crease, it must now be we'll over eigh-
teen millions. OF this great total the
school children proper-those in the ele-
mentary grades of public and private
schools-numbered 16,479, III Next in
order came the 734, 760 secondary stu
dents in public and private high schools,
in academies and seminaries, in the pre-
paratory departments of universities and
colleges, and in the non-professional
classes in public and private normal
schools. The college boys and college
girls numbered 246. O63-this total COM
prising, in official language, all students
of higher education in universities and
colleges, professional and normal
schools
The mind refuses at first to grasp
the significance of these great totals but
few comparisons will help. America
school enrolment exceeds by about a
million the combined population of Swift
zerland, Norway, Greece, Bulgaria, Den
mark and Servia-all sovereign states.
The elementary children alone equal
the population of these six states.
In 1902 the children in the public
schools cost Uncle Sam $235, POS, 465. The
total value Of the property possessed by
the higher educational institutions was
SALT ,2O5,234 in that year, and their en-
dowment funds amounted to S1S5, 944,-
G68. Besides the income from those
funds, they received many millions in the
shape of fees and appropriations from
the federal and State governments and
from municipalities. 1t is safe to say
that $300,00O00O year is paid out
for education-a sum little less than the
combined outlay of Germany and Russia
on their armies.
