block, a 100000 loft building in the
downtown factory section Of this city,
The stocks of four firms which were
tenants were destroyed and three tene-
ment houses adjoining were burned.
The only watchman employed in the
building was a bulldog, which had done
faithful service in this capacity for
several years. He discovered the blaze
and gave the alarm by series of barks
which attracted the attention Of pass
ersby.
Before the firemen could get into
action there was terrific explosion,
apparently of gasoline or other oils,
which drove the fire throughout the
entire building
The fire was under control an hour
after it started with a loss which fire
officials estimate at about 100000
Forty persons were left homeless by
the destruction of three tenement
houses, but there was no loss of life.
The blaze was a spectacular one, be-
ing plainly visible for n distance of
nearly ten miles.

MENACES To SAFETY
Of GREAT BRITAIN
Balance of Nature Has Been Up
set" According to --latest
Discovery.
MANY EVILS ARE EXPECTED
Plague Of Rats Does Damage to
the Amount Of $75, 100000
Annually.
MANY EVILS ARE EXPECTED
BY Leased Wire to The Tribune.

BY Leased wire TO Inc lElDuues
LONDON, April S.-Menaces to the
safety of England continue to multi
nly. The German peril is always pres
emit, the free trade threat against the
integrity of the empire is an old friend,
socialist spoliation often clouds the fu,
ture and recently the country has heard
much about the white bread danger
The latest source of perturbation is
the discovery in England that the
balance of nature has been upset,
and that innumerable evils are expect
ed to flow from this dislocation. So
many of the nature enemies OF rats
have been destroyed that the long
tailed terrors are rampant IN every dl-
rection and the Associated Chambers
of Commerce are advancing In solid
pbalanx against the rodents.
s'Incredibe though 1T seems says
Secretary Matthews of this organiza-
tion. "the country suffers from rats
10 the extent of $50, 5,000,0 ,00G annually.
Nor is the plague Of rats the only sign
of the disturbed balance OF nature. The
board of agriculture has ordered gen
eral attack on the migrant pigeons
which are descending by hundreds and
destroying whole clover fields in va
rious parts of England. Rocks, larks
and starlings, some working In one
place and some in another, have more
than decimated the wheat fields. Finches
have destroyed the buds in acres of
fruit trees in Kent and Buckingham:
shire from one end 10 the other, and
the Isle of Wight is suffering from the
bee disease.
"All these evils are due to man s
meddling with the course Of nature
The fox. the deadliest foe of rats, is
about the only enemy OF those pests
that we have not killed off, Hawks
and stoats are nearly all gone. Owls
and hawks should be strictly preserved
The modern cat might as well be killed
off He does nothing more useful than
howl Cats used 90 make themselves
valuable by catching rats and mice,
Now they scorn work so vulgar and
food so coarse. Nothing is good enough
FOR them except canaries.
FOnly q national movement can do
anv good. The county councils must
act together not only to preserve the
natural enemies of man s enemies but
to make a dead set on the latter in
every way known to science. 1t is use
less for one farmer to clear the rats
from his place; they merely migrate by
thousands TO the peighboring estate. If
the local authorities will not act vol
unfairly they must be compelled to
act. -
