FIGHTING A FIRE IN lRKUTSK.
A Comedy Of Flaming Torches and
Empty Water WAGONS,

They fight fires in Il peculiar way in
Siberia. First you find the fire. The
city is plotted into districts. each with
its engine house and w~atchtower. On
the watchtower by day and night
stands a guard who scans the house
tops for Il sign Of smoke. When the
fire has got enough Roadway for him
to see the smoke he gives the alarm
and the engines dash out. The spectu-
tor is amused. not so much at the dash
as at the engines. They are primitive.
and the use OF them is more SO.
We ven to Il fire one Sunday after
noon in lrkutsk. continues Mr.. Rich
ardson l.. Wright in his book Through
Siberia" 1t was close to our hotel. so
that we had an excellent view. First
came a troika team that dragged a
hook and ladder carriage. On the car

flaming torches. Behind the hook
and ladder was the hoSecart. and then
came Il hand engine Of the type u
grandfathcrS Used to drag to fires.
After that. for two blocks. trailed a
queue Of water filled hogsheads on
wheels. The cavalcade passed US in Il
cloud of dust. accompanied by the yells
Of the torch bearing tiremen. When
the supply of water ran out the carts
dashed down to the river and were re
plenishcd.
This crude high pressure service gave
rise once to Il rather humorous Incl
dent that the IrkutSkians tell with
great glec. During a fire several years
ago Il string of water wagons went
down to tho river. were filled and came
rumbling back. When they reached
the fire the water was gone. The en-
thusiastic captain Of hogsheads had
neglected to put back the plugs in the
barrels and had spilled his supply for
several blocks along the main street.

Horses Not Like Machines.

Animals are not like the machinery
on the farm. They have a mind and
sensibilities hat should be given some
consideration by those who have to
work with them. \ machine can be
neglected and misused. and the great
est harm that can come of it is that
the owner will have to buy a new ma
chine, but an animal that is treated
in a similar manner is made to suffer
pain. Horses get tired and need good
food, water and rest. Don't treat them
like mere machines.-Farmer's Guide.

TWO GREAT STARS.
Sirius Is the Brightest Of All, and Ca
nopus Comes Next.

Sirius Is the Brightest of All, and Ca
nopus Comes Next.
The results Of that instrument Of
precision, the meridian photometer, are
that Sirius is seven-tenths Of a magni-
tude brighter than Campus. which
easily teaches that Sirius is brighter
than any other star.
Campus. mex in brilliancy, is visible
from all that portion Of the world
south Of north latitude 81 degrees.
since its d%eclination is south SO degrees
and 53 is the complement Of 81.
1t therefore never rises above the
south horizon Of any point 81 degrees
north. The latitude Of this observa-
tory is "a degrees II minutes; hence
Campus rises very nearly 3 degrees
above the watery wastes in the Pacific
sea. Its low altitude makes it much
fainter than higher Sirius. as the light
must traverse layers of dust and wa
ter vapor lear the earth's surface.
Still it is magnificent. especially when
standing over q calm ocean surface.
Campus has no parallax that the
highest power telemicrometers that
can be made are able to measure. This
is n Of the most overwhelming facts
within the entire range Of human ex-
perience. This means that if one goes
to Campus with the most powerful
telescope ever made. turns and looks
back this way. the base line. the entire
Qiamcta of the orbit of thp aorth-
1So. 7G4.O 900 miles-dwindles to a minute
point too small to be measured by any
microscope. Some idea may be had
Of the immensely Of the universe by
thinking of this fact during each spare
minute. Better to so think than to
waste the precious moments.-Edgar

On Saturday, November 29th, when
Mrs. Harriet Bell makes final proof on
her Rush Lake homestead, one of the
last of the few remaining tracts Of gov
land in Cavalier county will
haye been deeded 10y Uncle Sam to the
land seeker. There has been a steadily
diminishing flow of homesteaders filing
on government homesteads in Cavalier
county the past ten or twelve years. the
rush prior to that time dating back to
1880 when the settlement of the eastern
part Of this county began. There was
Il period of seven years of actual frontier
lie" experienced by the first Corners up
to 1887, when with the advent of the
railroad towns began to spring up and
Cavalier county's population began
to double and treble at an amazing rate
This influx of new settlers perhaps
reached its zenith in the period between
1895 and 1860 when the 500 and Great
Northern each built additional lines of
railroad through the southwestern and
western parts of the county and practl.
cally put a settler on every available
quarter section of land that remained
vacant in the county. Back in 1887,
when Langdon, the county seat, first in
corporated Milton and Osnabrock were
the other railroad market towns while
today no less than eighteen thriving rail
road towns are dotted on the map OF
Cavalier county.
