Large German Population.
Outsiders who have heard vaguely that
St Louis was founded by the French
but who are unfamiliar with its present
racial composition, may be unaware that
about 80 per cent of the 10000 st. Louis
ans are German or Of German descent.
st. Louis experienced a tremendous in
fiux of Germans, many of them former
university students, after the revolution
OF ls4S Fresh from one struggle in be-
half OF the cause Of freedom, hundreds
Of these newcomers again enlisted for
war, this time to help free the Southern
slaves. St Louis has two daily news
papers In German and is the seat of
various German institutions OF learning,
including Concordia Theological Semi
nary. 1t has about seventy-fiye churches
IN which the German language is used.
of these are German
evangelical, twenty-three are German
evangelical Lutheran, and eighteen are
Catholic. The reluctance to abandon the
language OF the fatherland is illustrated
by the fact that but six st. Louis
churches are English Evangelical I,uth
eran- There are German Baptists and
Germans OF many other denominations.

A New Way of Fighting Fires.

From the Schenectady Gazette
That in the future firemen will not
rely upon water for extinguishing fires
is the interesting and somewhat start
ling statement of Simon Kellerman. IT.,
statistician OF the National Firemen's
Association. He predicts that chemicals
will take the place of water and that
bombs filled with them will be used for
the purpose. He is quoted by the New
York World as saying:
Il expect that the use of water for
the fighting of fires will be well nigh
done away with within the next five
years. At present in the large cities most
of the smaller fires are put out with
chemicals and In time believe guns for
shooting powdered chemicals or cheml-
cal bombs will be used for fighting the
big blazes. The loss of property will be
much smaller when more chemicals are
used. At a recent fire which l witnessed
the loss on property due to the fire was
about 5000, while the loss due TO the
water poured on the flames amounted to
about $4,000"
All this may sound somewhat improb-
able. But it is true, as Mr.. Kellerman
says, that many small fires are extin-
guished now by means of chemicals, and
II small ones can be, 1t is logical to sup
POSC NiidA OiicS NcE-
tainly there seems to be a trend in that
direction.
A substitute for water would prevent
a great amount of damage, for water
Is responsible for the injury to goods as
much or more than the smoke and fire,
In many instances. II the idea of using
guns for shooting bombs filled with chem
cials into the fire is practicable, 1t will
also save the risk that firemen take when
they scale the ladders carrying heavy
lines of hose or stand beneath walls
that threaten to fall upon them. Further
more, this means Of subduing confiagra-
ions would overcome the difficulty OF Sc
curing a sufficient water pressure to be
of any use in lofty buildings. In doing
away with the necessity for using water
t would remove one danger Of the fire
situation; no break in the mains and no
scarcity in the supply would have any
errors then. Whether new problem
would be presented in the endangering of
ife in the neighborhood of fires by the
Use Of these chemicals is a matter that
would need careful consideration.

To PopuIarize.the Army.
From the Brooklyn standard-UuiOu.

Secretary Garrison's approval of tbs
short enlistment term and the creation
OF a reserve force for national defense
Is apt to meet with general indorsnent
chiefly because the present four-year tern,
Is not making the army as attractive an
1t should be. The Secretary's scheme
provides for three-year enlistment with
the privilege of returning to private life
at the end of twelve months II the an
plicant has proved himself capable and
his conduct exemplary. The curtailmsnt
feature is the bait proposed to be hung
up to attract young men who want 10
try the army but who fear to sign for
long period.
The suggestion merits serious attain
ton 1t sounds well even II II should no,
work we'll Those men who quit after
one year or two years, and those who
have finished the fun three-year tern,
would be promptly called upon to hear
arms in case Of trouble. A one-year
man may not be as 1T as one who ba.
had three years in the service, but ~
would know enough to be sent TO III
front at once.

serve force which cannot be built ",

District OF beer and light wines to men,
bers and their friends and invited guests.

Eating humble pie" is a phrase which
really arose from the corruption of the
word "umbles'' or ''numbles," the coarse-
parts Of a deer killed in hunting, which,
when made into a pie, were formerly re-
served for the lower hunt servants;
while cooking the boose' is a phrase
which originated when the King or
Sweden. on approaching a hostile town,
excited the contempt Of the Inhabitants
by the smallness OF his army. To ex-
press this, they hung out goose for
him to shoot at, whereupon the King
set fire to the town to cook their goose.
