old Timber etronssr Than Nov

Ql0 TIm0or stronger Tnan NeW
 Which is ths stronss1 ' pisos q sound old timber or . ptsoe of nswl We think 1t probable that the major. ity of engineers would gay that the new timber was tho stronger. h eithsr case, however. the opinions would be moro guesswork, for there has been hitherto. 60 far as we recall. no authentic information on this point. This lack Is now supplied in a paper by MT. c. F. Buchanan, in which he shows as result of careful tests, that sound timber quarter of cen tury old is materially stronger than new stock.
 MT. Buchanan's tests were made on white pine. but there is no reason to suppose that oak, hard pine or any other wood commonly used in build ing would behave differently. It is fair to conclude that all wood main tains its strength, except as decay weakens 1t or fire and mechanical ab- rasion destroy it.-Ergineering News.

Warning to Railroad Men

- e>>@>0 " @St~@AA WA &AAVAA
 Look out for severe and even dangerous kidney and bladder trouble resulting from years of
 ailroading. George E. Bell, 639 Third St., Fort Wayne, Ind, was many years a conductor on the Nickel Plate. He says: "Twen- " years of railroading left my kidneys in terrible condition. There was a continual pain acros my back and hips and my kidney gave me much distress, and the action of my bladder was fre- Guent and most painful. I got a supply of Foley Kidney Pills and the first bottle made won derful improvement and four bot ties cured me completely. Since being cured I have recommended Foley Kidney Pills to many of my railroad friends. 'W. D.. BEVENS'.

FIRE IN The LINCOLN
BUILDING
Discovered In Basement-Much Smoke
But Little Damage.

Just after twelve o'clock Friday,
fire was discovered in pile of rub
bish in the basement of the Lincoln
school on Leavitt street. An alarm
was promptly rung in from Box 81 at
the corner of Leavitt and Madison
streets, and few minutes treatment
with the hose was sufficient to ex-
tinguish the blaze. No damage was
done beyond the breaking of a few
panes of glass, and on the whole it
proved most fortunate escape for all
concerned.
The fire was discovered by Miss
Townsend when she came down from
the upper story after dismissing her
room. She noticed the strong smell
of smoke in the lower hall and went
at once to the door of the girls
basement to see if the janitor had re-
kindled the fire there, which had been
allowed to go out during the mild
weather. This she found had not
been done, and when she opened the
door of the boys side a cloud of
smoke belched forth, She could also
hear the cracking noise that usually
accompanies flame.
Miss Townsend then hurried up
stairs and got all the children that
were still in the building out, mean
while calling in a passerby who in
vestigated hurriedly and then sent in
the alarm. The men who were first
on the scene tried to use the chemical
eXtinguishers with which the schools
are equipped, but only one out of the
three would work. Those brought
over from the Garfield school also
proved to be useless. But the hose
cart arrived in time, and single line
from the nearest hydrant soon did the
business. AS there was no woodwork
near where the fire caught, the build
ing was not damaged
When discovered the fire was burn
ing in a pile of kindling wood and
waste papers, that lay on the base
ment floor next to the brick bin where
the ashes are stored. This bin was
full of ashes and piled high on top,
but the janitor, Gus Sawyer, insisted
that no ashes had been taken from the
furnace since the day previous. He
had tended the fire for the last time
that morning at quarter to eleven
o'clock
