of being improved with an excellent
brick paving. AS soon as the i'm
provements were completed | found
Commercial avenue a convenience,
but now am beginning to think it a
luxury. so far as ] am concerned.
In less than dozen trips over the
thoroughfare have suffered not less
than seven punctures and three of

vestigation of the street and found
the answer-my tires were bein6

The work on the street has been

fully inquired into and catalogued. Iu
the forest rangers cabin, which is the
real fire department headquarters %
the forest, is a record showing how
many men he can get at Smiths
camp, how soon he can get them, how
far they will 60 and how much they
will be paid per day.
Today the forests are as carefully
studied as any field of battle. When
the report comes of a fire In a certain
distant region there is no time lost In
getting supplies or men, In figuring
out the way to approach 1t, or in go
ing over lost ground to gather up
fighting force.
Over "a government fire-hghters
were killed in the big fires in Idaho
last year, mainly because they were
not carefully trained. Scores OF miles
of trail had to be cut to get fire crews
into the heart of some of the fires,
and once there they had little chance
to escape or to get achievements.
| Forester Graves estimates that the
| government will have to spend S8,000,-
900 before the forests are completely
under control. Forest trails that would
stretch ten times across the continent
$4,000 miles, will have to be built be-
fore all portions of the great woods
are accessible to fre-fghters. The
fire lines" those bands of safety that
surround the more dangerous dis
tricts and often effectually stop the
spread of a ground or surface fire.
must be increased by 10000 milesS
10000 miles Of new telephone line
must be strung to lookout points and
along the trails, and 600 miles OF
heavy wagon road built.
When all this is accomplished, 10
six or eight years; when supplies OF
tools are ready at every point and
the force of summer f1remen Is in
creased to the necessary number, Ii
will be almost impossible for forest
fire to get such start as did those OF
last year.
The sources of fire in the forests
are now we'll known. Last year there
were nearly 5000 fires, but less than
is per cent. of these did any great
damage. Out of 1856 of the fires care

It is said that once when Reginald
de Koven was touring the country he
found himself in the town of Dayton
on Sunday. They told Mr.. De Koven
that an Episcopal church in the neigh
borhood had a superb organ. Accord
ingly, he went to that church, as
cended the organ loft and sat beside
the organist during the mornings
service.
"You seem to know something
about music" said the organist, in a
condescending way. "TH let you dis
miss the congregation If you like"
"Why, yes" said Mr.. De Koven, II
would like that very much"
Accordingly, at the end Of the re-
cessional, he exchanged places with
the organist and began to play Men
delssohn's Spring Song" He played
beautifully. The Dayton people, en-
thralled by the wonderful music, re
fused to depart. They sat in rapt
enjoyment. and after the Spring
Song" was finished Mr.. De Koven be
gan something of Chopin. Suddenly
heavy hand was laid on his shout
der and he was pushed off the music
stool.

Smoke DlssIpated.

The practical way to obviate the an

>efore 1t leaves the chimney top in a
gaseous volume. A German professor
believes he has found a way to secure
his result without chemical or me
.hanical aid.
Described In Die Umschau, the pro-
essor's chimney is perforated on all
tides by what might be called little
horizontal windows. AS the furnace
Imoke and gases rise they are mixed
With air, both before and after emer-
renee, by the eddy forming action Of
he wind passing through the open
ngs.
From the time the smoke enters
he chimney and reaches the height Of
he lower openings, which receive the
Wind from any quarter. the intermin-
cling begins. and in each stage OF its
Upward movement the volume be-
comes less and less. At the mouth Of
he chimney the outpour is compare
