JERSEY CITY, March 20.-Ohicials
of the Lehigh Valley railroad an
nounced today that as soon as the
lire could be cleared away they would
begin Immediately to rebuild pier B,
which was destroyed in the coniagra-
ton. The loss is estimated between
$25o,oo0 n $500, 600, all of which is
fully covered by insurance.
II has been a long time since there
has been a more spectacular blaze
along the shores Of the Hudson. The
last which is recalled was the burning
of the Lackawanna depot at Hoboken
our years ago.
Rumors of Disaster.
For two hours the air was thick with
flying rumors of burning steamers,
sinking tugs and hair-breadth escapes
of imprisoned laborers. over the
burning pier hung lazily a %cornucopia
of cloud, settling slowly and drifting
to the south. 1t shut out the view of
the fire-fighting craft on the water,
which could be seen only when a puff

rift in the smoky haze.
From the black fog of smoke came
wild rumors of four sinking tugs and
a steamer burned to the waters edge.
A barge, laden with cotton, was towed
to the middle of the river, and for an
III burned like a torch. sending "a
flame fifty feet into the air, while two
Standard Oil tugs poured in great
streams of water upon it in vain.

Eighteen lire-ighting craft crept UNI
der the cover of smoke hat shut out
the. gaze of 100, 900 spectators and
pumped solid three-inch streams of the
Hudson's salt water on the burning
pier. The fire was whipped out at 5
o'clock, after the Jersey City fire de-
partment had succeeded in reaching
the scene after a wide detour around
the Gap" For a time it looked as if
the flames would leave a large black
pace in the city's water front.
At 8 o'clock Lehigh Valley employees
began to take stock of the damage.
They declare that it will amount to at
least s250,000 The pier was filled with
merchandise for the entire 1000 feet it
projects into the water, much of which
was of an iniammable character.

You Don't Haze to Worry About
Your Back Hair quzh This Hat

They cost money. too, do these latest
What is saved in trimming is spent in
straw. Still, one can afford the ex-
travagance, for the hat will pay for
itself, wen after it's been discarded by
the erratic votaries of fashion.
Fol- one thing, it can always be used
as a rustic bench. The wearer simply
removes it from her head. places it on
the ground. Her escort assists her to
it's top and then. firmly g~rasping the
plumes, pulls himself up. When tired
of sitting on the shore they may drag
the hat to the edge of the waves, set it
afloat, and behold. they have a splendid
rowboat. 1t would be an easy matter
to install a small engine in a corner OF
the crown and thus nave a launch
always ready for use.
or, If they cared to camp, the hat
could be turned the other way, to form
a model tent. In case of this they
should always remember to remove the
gasoline engine, as a tent is not much
good unless it is stationary.
Later, when the nat has been super
seded by some even more useful style
of headgear. it may descend to homely
household uses. 1t could be used to adj
vantage as a clotneS-namper, a coal
bin, q baby carriage-simply mount K
on wheels, and there you ase-a spare
bedroom, a chicken coop, a garage, a
summer house or with a few additions,
an ideal bungalow for country use. So
that after all, though ii costs a lot in
the beginning. a hat such as this is as
worth while as an investment in real
estate.
Seriously, the creation shown above
