SKYSCRAPER MENACE.
What a Confagration Among These
Cliff Dwellers Would Mean.

A catastrophe that will eclipse the
destruction of San Francisco is the cheer
ing prospect offered for the contemplation
of New York by the president of the
board of fire underwriters, says Golfers
Weekly. And it is not New York alone
that is threatened, but every great city
that permits the construction of skyscrap-
ers. The underwriters think that there
is not only a possibility but a very strong
probability of blaze starting in the top
stories of nest of these aerial hives and
leaping across the canyons that separate
them, raging aloft like fire in the upper
branches of a forest, and sweeping I'M
checked out of reach of the helpless fire.
men in the street. When Office buildings
go higher than the Washington monument
all the ordinary methods of protection be-
come obsolete. No hose can carry a
stream half way to their roofs. No street
mains can furnish pressure enough to
send water up in standpipes. OF course
there are satisfactory methods of supply
ing the upper floors in ordinary times,
but they would count for nothing in a
confagration- The experience of San
Francisco has shown, in the opinion Of
PRESIDENT b8DD, Lnat SO-cdlleU ureprOOI
buildings cannot withstand the attack of
wave of fame" If fire should sweep
the financial district Of New York It
would cause loss of from one to two
billion dollars; the insurance companies
would be hard pressed to pay 20 to %
cents on the dollar, title guaranty com
panies, mortgage concerns, savings banks
and all other financial institutions would
suffer, and the city would feel at once the
loss of revenue from the destruction Of
taxable values.
Another menace that hangs over the
skyscraper districts Of great cities is the
danger of panic. 1t Is said that If sud
den shock should send the swarming cliff
jewellers all surging to the streets at onct
the highways would not hold the human
food. The streets Of our cities were de
signed to match buildings three or foul
stories high. When ten such building'
are piled one on top of another, and thu
same thoroughfares are expected to &C
commodate the people from all of them
the results are likely to be startling.

Three railroad companies, the Atch.
ison, Topeka and Santa Fe, St Louis
and San Francisco, and the Missouri
Pacific, have absolutely declined to
comply with an order Of the Postoffice
Department that for the next forty
days these roads should carry empty
mail bags and other mail equipment
back to the distribution centers with
out compensation therefor. The reason
for this order was desire to prevent
a tle-up or congestion Of mail during
and just preceding the holidays. TIC
this end, it was thought that it would
be we'll to have the equipment trans
ferred more speedily than can be done
by freight, which is the method pro
vided. While there is some doubt as
to the right Of the department to en-
force its order, the law permits the use
Of the express companies for the pur-
pose in question, which would meet the
emergency, though proving rather ex.
oensive.
