LIVES WERE iMPERlLED.

New York, Dec. 22.-Several scores
OF lives were. imDeriled in an incen-
diary fire at 20S East Thirty-third
street at O'Clock this morning and
while policemen and fremen were
rescuing tenants by the dozen and eff
forts were being made to quell panics
in the Polytechnic hospital and the Ho-
tel Delaware in the rear. thieves went
through the adjoining house, 203, the
occupants of which had fled to the
street and looted it of hundreds of
dollars worth of valvables.
Battalion Chief Shelly reported the
fire as one of the most dastardly
pieces of incendiarism he ever came
across, and it is amazing that no lives
were lost and that only one or two
persons received minor injuries.

Zero.

Zero.
The word zero is from the Span
ish and means empty" hence nothing.
1t was first used for thermometer in
1195 by q Prussian named Fahrenheit.
BY experimenting with snow and salt
Fahrenheit found that he could pro-
duce degree Of cold equal to that Of
the coolest winter day. 1t happened
that the day on which he made his
final experiment was the coolest that
anybody could remember. and, struck
with the coincidence Of his scientific
discovery, he hastily concluded that he
had found the lowest degree of tenn
perature. either natural or artificial.
He called the degree zero" and con-
structed a thermometer graduating up
from zero to boiling point. which he

Nicks have a squad of twenty-eight
men in training. Among the recruits
are several Harvard, Princeton and st.
Paul players. In fact, the only team
that looks weak in the amateur league
is the Hockey club Of New York.
Though the first Of the regular
games for the championship Of the
league will not be played till jan 4,
there will be several practice matches
between college and amateur sevens
from now on until Jan. !. The hockey
season in Pittsburg and Cleveland is
now on in full blast. The opening games
in both cities were by far more auspi-
cious than last season, and if the
quality Of hockey dished out during
the season Is in keeping with that in
the initial contests the fans will sure
ly get a good run for their money.
Last year the league in Cleveland
was made up Of only three teams.
While the Clevelands and Crescents
always put up a good fight, both teams
appeared to have the call over the
Thistles in almost every game they
played. The result was that the fans
did not turn out as strong as was ex-
pected. This year. however. with four
teams, all Of which should be in the
running for the championship up to
the last two or three weeks. the sport
is sure to be more popular with Cleve-
landers than ever before.
Hockey has been played in Pitts
burg, both amateur and professional.
and Chicago Is now following the lead
Of the two other cities and will intro
duce the sport shortly. Something
like $780, 600 has been invested In q
