RUSSIAN PRAIRIE FIRE.
Flight of the Peasants Before the
Rapidly Spreading Flames.

Midsummer in Russia has been ush-
cred in by great epidemic OF fires on

The intense dryness of the season

and to the northeast of the Caspian. On
these steppes vast seas of grass stretch
to the horizon, raised only by shrubs Of
the wild cherry and dwarf almond on
the hillsides or by clumps of NORWOOD
when the soil is clayey. Herds of cat
tie and horses Craze on the plains.
1t was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppe. sure sign to the
inhabitants that a fire was in progress.
So appalling was the speed with which
the fire rolled over the dry and yellow
grass that the peasants had quickly to
conceive measures for saving Just their
own lives from destruction Feverish ac-
tivity prevailed in all the villages until
the tongues of fame which came nearer
and nearer with uncanny swiftness APP
peared on the horizon.

sparks from the conhagration kindled
in advance another fire. which in a short
time enveloped coco acres of grazing
ground. Swifter and swifter before the
wind dashed on the wall of fiery waves.
Enormous pillars of flame shot up into
the air The suction was so strong that
slabs of turf and burning branches were
hurled up into the air and thrown far
away.
Men and cattle We're hard put to it to
save themselves. Their least danger
was of being scorched by the fiery
breath which swept on ahead of the fur
mace. Women and children who sank
Helpless to the ground were dragged
along by the other villagers, for only
hasty fight was now of any avail. But
even this would not have saved them
had not a lake been in their midst. into
which they all rushed, wading in as far
as they could without drowning.
Imagine, then, hundreds of persons
standing in the waters up to their
shoulders, while all round them masses
of flame, ran along the banks and sent
out Pickering tongues over the water in
their direction, baffled in their thirst
for victims.
Some Of the inhabitants of the vii
lagos on the steppes, as soon as they
saw the fire advancing, set to work to
burn large areas, and on these GASES
they collected all their cattle and house,
hold goods At last heavy shower
came and extinguished the prairie fire.
Many persisted in the flames or were
stifed by the smoke, five in one village,
three in another and so on. Beside
this there was great destruction of live
stock, large and small.

: Women Police.

One of the surprises of evolution
has been the discovery that women
have an appointed work waiting for
them in the police service. The
smashing derision that used to find
a special point of application in the
idea of the woman policeman" is
yielding. gingerly but surely, TO the
realization that the country needs
women as police rather more than the
women need,to be police officials. The
realization seems to be a part of the
general realization of the human in
terest mixed up in the criminals
case, the realization that You don't
finish with that case by merely APP
pretending the criminal and affixing
the thumb screws. and the further
realization that the case may be one
of many sides and one of two sexes
A desire to reach the ease having fol-
lowed upon the realization, 1t was
perhaps inevitable that women should
be availed of, along with all other
available instruments of salvation.
In Los Angeles, the woman police
man" has been installed in response
to a distinct need in the handling Of
woman and girl criminals. In
Maryland. she has been applied to fol-
official help to enforce the curfew law
in an effective manner. So p this city
as matrons women have long been
assisting in the problenp of handling
the criminal. Very recently these
matrons have been placed in the rank
of patrolmen, and their salaries have
been increased from $1,000 to $1,000 2
