based ON an actual occurrence which
came under Mr.. Oppenheim's obser-
walton while at Monte Carlo less than
two years ago. This prophesy of the
present European conditions was
written several months before the
present war was declared. but its
relations 10 the present conditions
seem most unusual. although Mr. Or

One cf the greatest sets ever in

California was that of the interior OF
the Grand Gambling Salon in the Ca
sino at Monte Carlo. An exact re-

Casino was constructed. Special
gaming tables were obtained and the

Special TO THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Dec. 27.-Damage by
fire and water to the extent of about
$500 was caused by a blaze in the
chemical laboratory Of Delaware Col
lege shortly after o'clock Saturday
evening. The laboratory is located in
the extreme north wing of the Old
Dormitory building and for a time
the fire puzzled the firemen as they
could not locate the blaze, although
smoke was issuing from the building
in large quantities. The origin of
the fire Is unknown but is thought
that it might have started from
steam pipes. Professors Charles L.
Penny and Harold e. Tiffany. have
their offices in that section where the
| fire was
Rodman Lovett. an employe Of the
college who lives opposite the dormi-
tory building was the first to discover
that the structure was on fire. With
the aid of his two sons. Mr.. Lovett
got out the college hose and soon had
a stream on the blaze. When the fire
men arrived with their chemical and
hose carriage there was some trouble
in locating just what room the fire
was in. There was much excitement
and large crowd soon gathered. The
smoke at first intereferred with the
work but in a short time the fire,
which was located near the desk of
| Professor Tiffany and which burned a
large hole through the floor to the
basement was eXtinguished. Had the
fire gained much headway in the lab
Oratory among the chemicals no doubt
it would have been hard to control.
President Mitchell and several
trustees, including Chancellor
Charles NJ. Curtis, who happened to
he visiting his mother here; Mayor Jo-
seph H. Hossinger. Charles b. Evans
and DR.. H. G. NJ. Kollock. were at the
fire. The greater part OF the dam
age was caused by water. The neces-
sary repairs viii be made to the lab
oratory at once and it will probably
be ready for use when the students

a young leading woman. who possess
