NEWSPAPER BLUNDERS
Some of the Amusing Sayings
of the Types.

An old New York newspaper man,
now turned farmer, kept scrapbook
In which for years he pasted hun
dreds of the typographical plumbers
and other errors that always annoy,
but sometimes amuse, newspaper
writer's. A few selections from this
collection are given here as printed
in the New York Sun to show that
vagaries of the types and plumbers
which writers sometimes make when
driven at top speed may be compared
favorably with some Of the current
humor of the day.
II was New York newspaper which
announced that "A long line Of
SCORPIONS feathers filed into the
church, instead of surpliced "a.

A daily newspaper up the Hudson
reported the speech of Fourth Of

about the Fiat of the Almighty. "

times perpetrated remarkable Eng

extended over the floor and towards
the outer edge of the room."
A Chicago daily found little boy

Fearless Firemen
Thirty Thousand Of Them Fighting Flames

on Dizzy Ladders = New
YOrk'S Army.

CINCE fire fighting has become a
regularly recognized and we'll
~ compensated employment in the
large cities of this country a
great change has taken place In the
discipline In vogue among the forces
of fire fighters and In the methods en-
ployed in extinguishing fires. In the
old days of volunteer firemen there
may have been more glory in assisting
at putting out flames when they had
burst into action unbidden and unex-
pected, but there was much less sci
ence about it then. Making fire fight
ing paid service under a regularly or
ganized branch of the municipality has
cost the large cities of the United
States a great deal Of money, but 1t Is
change which has paid for itself
many times over in the reduced amount
Of the losses due to outbreaks of fire
Credit should be given the volunteer
companies, however, for the work
which they did and which many are
still doing In the smaller towns or In
larger cities as forces auxiliary to the
paid departments. For instance, In the
city Of New York, which has 1890
paid hremen. the largest number en-
ployed by any city in the United States,
there are also volunteer companies
with a membership Of 1890. These
companies exist mostly in the suburbs
In parts Of New York to which the
service of the regular city department
has not yet been extended.
Although fire fighting is necessarily
dangerous occupation and requires
qualities akin to those Of soldier in
men who would enter it, the perils
have been much reduced by the perfec-
ton attained in many cities in methods
of discipline and by the improvements
In apparatus. On the other hand, the
study given to the subject has resulted
in such high efficiency of service that
the proportion of disastrous fires is
small compared with the number of
outbreaks Of flames. In such cities as

to fires that their approach and the
ringing Of the gong for the clearing of

momentary furry. Usually the fire Is
extinguished before 1t has a chance to
do much damage or furnish a spectacle
that Is worth crossing the street to
view. But when a fire does get under
Roadway and tiremen find hard work
cut out for them they show that their
nerve Is equal to the occasion. Then
Is seen the value OF such improvements
In fire fighting apparatus as the exten
sion ladder, by which members of the
force can climb into the windows of a
burning building with the least possible
delay. 1t requires courage to mount
such a ladder, extended In midair

this by frequent emergency drills. and
as the ladder unfolds itself they are

The scaling ladder Is another great
aid to quick attack on a burning build

on from escape by the flames. The
expert climber mounts from story to
