ever, more than the usual complaint of

Potato planting is progressing rapid

recent rains have been very beneficial

BRITISH FIRE-EScAPES.
Those in Use in the Colleges and Large
Stores


w. G. Fitz-Gerald, in the Scientific
American-Ever since the serious fire
in one of the masters houses" at the
world-renowned college of Elton, near
Windsor there has been great activity
among the principals CT the leading
British colleges, both for young men
and young ladies, in the direction of
providing the most efficient possible
means of fighting fire and saving life.
The principal of many school, look
ing around him, may fad that there is
no more elaborate protection in the
case of an outbreak than few dusty
old hand grenades, which may be
worse than useless. or little hand
pump, which throws but the feeblest
and thinnest Of jets. This state of af-
fairs has been radically improved of
late
The most favored type of fire escape
in Great Britain at present is I'M
dou5tedly the canvas chute of which
thousands are in use in public build
inge, theaters, hotels, warehouses,
asylums. hospitals. private mansions
and schools. One Of these is capable
Of emptying a school dormitory fifty
feet from the ground. costs little mere
than $50. is exceedingly light, and may
be kept just under the window-sill in
an unobtrusive manner.
Other escapes in use at schools in
clude the canvas sling. the canvas
bucket (Which is provided with any
required length of the finest Manila
ropel, and a gun-metal brake, by
which the person escaping from a
burning building can control the speed
of his descent at will.
When once the installation is com
plete at the school-and very perfect
fire-ighting and life-saving apparatus
are new to be found at Elton, Harrow,
Rugby, Winchester and Stonyhurst-
the work of organization is systemati-
cally begun.
Nor are the women's colleges be-
hind-hand; for at the Royal Holloway
College at Egham, near Ascot, there
is enc of the most perfect amateur fire
brigades in Great Britain, the young
ladies being so expert as to lie in re-
quest for outside fires at farmhouses
and cottages in the rural districts
round about.
Practice with the canvas chute fire
escape is taken very seriously by the
young persons in schools, department
stores, and other establishments, and
praiseworthy attempts are made to
make records" in the way of empty
ing the supposed burning building
against time.
The moment the alarm is given il is
that the first person to slide
down the chute shall be especially
expert This is because there is no
one at the bottom to hold the chute
out at an angle, and so break the
fall. Therefore, the first person down
uses his or her elbows and knees in
such way as to retard too speedy
descent; and arrived at the bottom, he
or she promptly takes hold OF the
lower end and walks out a little way
with it. so that the descent of the
others may be a swift slide.
II is both curious and interesting to
see a great school being emptied by a
series Of these canvas chutes, the boys
dropping Ike so many divers at the
upper end and literally mourning out

THE CROPS.
Past Week Reported as Mainly Fa-
VorabIe.

The Wisconsin crop bulletin for the
week ending June 9Th says the week
has been mainly favorable both for
the advancement of farm work and
fer the growth of vegetation The
week opened decidedly cool, with light
irosts IN exposed localities in some of
the Northwestern counties, but with
lite or no damage. Rising temper
ature followed, eliminating in decided
ly warm weather during Friday and
Saturday in the western portion of the
state and Saturday and Sunday in the
eastern, when temperatures from 80
degrees TO so degrees were generally
reported. The weather was generally
fair u1til Thursday, when severe local
storms, accompanied in many sections
with heavy rains, occurred generally
over the western portion OF the state.
The heavy rains extended TO the north
cTn and central counties during Thurs
Gay night and Friday, but in the east
era and southern portions of the state
only light showers occurred, except in
few localities The rains were not
generally needed in the western
counties. and in some localities were
rather detrimental than otherwise.
This was the case especially where
the soil was already saturated before
the late rains which, being followed
by cooler weather, will tend TO retard
growth. Rain would be beneficial
however, in most of the southeastern
counties.
To winter wheat and rye the weather
conditions during the week have been
favorable and those crops are now
in promising condition. Wheat is
stocl:ng nicely and rye Is reported as
heading out well n some Of the south.
