Albuquerque AbIaze.

Albuquerque, March 21.-Fires during tLe last forty-eight hours have cost the citizens of this city not less than $1OO,OOO, and it is be- lieved to be the result of the work of incendiaries. The officers are now watching a gang of men who are believed be at the bottom of the confagrations.
 Saturday night the residence of John Ross was destroyed, and to- day Franz Huning's grist mill was burned. A box car and a logging train were also burned. Just what object the incendiaries could have in setting fire to the buildings is not known, but the officers expect to make several arrests within a day or so unless the men get out of town.

that the tendency, when there are no
landmarks. Is to walk In circle.
BY constant practice those who are
brought up In the wilds acquire the
ability to walk In a straight line. They
begin by beating trail from point to
point on some stretch of ice, and in
the bush, where any tree or obstruc-
ton bars the way. they made up for
any deviation from the straight course
by a give-and-take process, so that the
general line OF march Is straight.
During forty years In the country
never knew an Indian or white BUSH
man to carry n compass. Apart from
a black spruce swamp, II would be
no use whatever.
In going from one place to another
the contour OF the country has TO be
considered and very frequently the
longest way round Is the shortest way
home" A ridge of mountains might
lie between the place Of starting and
the objective point, and by making a
detour round the spur, one would east
er reach his destination rather than to
climb up one side and down the other.
