WIRE BURNS
STEEL GIRDER

NEW YORK, July 2S.-A serious
ace to the safety of the Brooklyn
bridge and the other big bridges OF
the country has been called to the at
tention of the city's chief engineers
by fire which started on the Brook
lyn bridge last night from an exposed
feed wire. The high-power current
carried by the wire ate it's way few
moments throughNa fourteen inch steel
girder, melting portions of the metal
for ten feet its length. According to
the engineers a similar occurrence
might az any time sever or weaken
one of the giant strands which sus-
tain the spans of the structure, caus-
ing a disaster of huge proportions.
There were no serious consequences
from last nights blaze, which was
promptly extinguished The severed
girder was not an important one and
will be replaced promptly. But the
danger of similar occurrences at any
time was called to the attention of the
public by Fire Chief Croker.
New things develop in fires almost
every day." he said, "and this seems
to be question for the electrical en-
gineers to take up at once and find a
solution. Electric fires are hard to
combat. There seems to be no limit
to the extent to which an electric cur
rent will burn metal of uninterrupted
1t will go burning through steel
indefinitely, or as lone as the current
lasts, and there is no reason why it
should not burn through the largest
girders or cables.
81 do not know how close the feed
wires are to the immense supporting
cables but l believe a fire could not
do great deal of damage before be-
ing discovered. But such a question is
a serious matter and should be taken
up at once"

one of the boundaries, and keep the
district scrupuously clean with the
sulphate solution. ] believe that
great difference would be seen be-
tween the number of flies in this
cleaned district and the district at
the other side of Ashard avenue.
"You would find tower preva
lence of intestinal diseases in the
district cared for. / believe that
flies are almost wholly responsible
for tn spreading of such diseases.
We tried an experiment last year at
Dunning, to show this a fact.
CDR Pollock had one ward screen
ed off and kept perfectly free from
flies and he arranged to have the
food for that ward protected from all
possible infection Among the six
teen persons in that ward all sum-
mer one of them had some intestin-
al trouble that lasted three days.
In the next ward, one that was not
screened, there were seven cases
in the same length of time, and
every one of those cases lasted from
three to seven weeks.
"The prevalence of typhoid would
be reduced in cities, because it is
carried by flies, and the country ty-
phoid would be almost wiped out.
There the fly is the great carrier of
that infection. There would be flies
to carry disease, even if we could
get the preventive methods in work
ing order, because there would al
ways be some places that would be
overlooked. But, as in the case of
other insects, we might breed guam
titles of the fifteen parasites that
are common to the house fly and
turn them loose to the destruction
of the adults that escaped the poi
sonous solution.
1.-THE results OF my experiments
will not be of mucn value without
legislation to back them up. Even il
there is established a cheap ant
thorough method of killing flies
there would have to be laws compel
ling the use of this method, or Of
something with similar results.
along with the experiments witt
the house fly I am looking fol
plaques of caterpillars and othel
creatures that appear at times.
any one in this part of the stat,
finds strange insects appearing sud
denly in large numbers should b.
glad to hear about the case, so tina
I can investigate it.''-Chicago Dali,

Spread of the Cockney Accent.

From the London Spectator.

perversion of the English tongue. the

most important and fa-reaching
acts in the history of the Con-
gregational body was taken today, when

denomination. Todays action followed
closely upon a vote taken yesterday
in which the council placed itself on
record as adopting a program for bring
ing the churches and labor interests
into closer utilization. and defined the
stand of the churches upon such mat
tiers as industrial disputes, child labor.
protection of the worker from dangerous
occupations and other social. economic
and industrial questions.
Action Criticised.
Todays decision to enlarge the ad-
ministrative function of the national
council has been characterized by one
of the delegates as an attempt to pres
byterianize congregationalism," by
bringing under one centralized source of
power and authority the various churches
and UNCONVENTIONAL societies. which
up to the present time have been indie
pendent bodies
The action came In the acceptance of
the report of the committee of twenty
Ave appointed to consider matters OF
church policy and the particular recon-
mendati0n which embodied the policy
adopted declared that the council fav-

between the council and the national
societies, and believed that the next
step in such a development consists in

merce. He said the Mckinley law was
a revision downward from the Wilson
law, and cited figures to establish his
claim. The Payne law. he declared. is a
revision downward from the Dinsley
law. Taking as basis of entry
the valuation of $1,000 in given
article and applying il to the
schedules of articles upon which
reduced rates were provided, he said that
800 of the reductions showed a total re-
ductiOn of $4,000 on that basis, while
the go articles on which duty was in
creased showed, on the same basis,
an Increased revenue of but $4,000,
making a net reduction under the one
thousand-dollar basis on the whole of
$1,000.
There are $50 more articles to be added
to the calculation, he said. Ii will take
at least till June 80. 1911, before a full
years record can be shown under the
Payne law, by which alone it can be
tested.

and incidental remarks by Edgar c.
Snyder president of the League of Re

as the keynote of the meeting that regard
less OF whatever may have occurred in
the past, the republicans were united as
such in common front against democ-

Mr.. Capers startled his hearers with

He predicted a republican majority in the
next House, because, he said, the demo-
cratic party. despite the patriotism and
sincerity of it's leaders. has not the con-

to President Taft. and said the economic

be lost in other sections.
Andrews Discusses Tariff.
Auditor William E. Andrews of the
Treasury confined his remarks to the
tariff and the argument that the Payne
bill was revision downward. He said
that when the biz went into conference
he and forty-five experts of his Office
took it item yitem to determine what it
accomplished. They ascertained that there
was more trouble in the republican party
today from the concessions it made to
the south in the cotton schedule than from
any other cause. There were 2,024 duti-
able articles. he said, under the Ding
