Fires in the United States, accord

ture to the point OF combustion, which
need not be higher than 100 degrees
Fires sometimes happen In the night
and then they are more of nuisance
than a visit of poor relation from
the country. Where is the American
citizen who has not been compelled,
at least once in lifetime, to get up
In the middle of the night, dress him
self in plug hat and .bed-sheet, and
grope his way blindly down the smoke
filed stairs with his mother-in-law
clutched under one arm and the city
directory in the other? When a fire
occurs where lot of people are en-
ployed and hundred or more are
burned to death, lot of new build
ing laws have to be passed. and this
is not so easy as 1t looks, because
buildings hereabouts are only safe for
their occupants after they are burnt
down. The human barbecue, some
where among the ruins, are the coun-
try's most useful martyrs-they give
their lives as evidence that more build
ing laws are needed! Other countries
adopt reforms, before hints of this
sort are necessary; but why should
any American citizen be so stingy
with his life? Isn't 1t better that
few hundred men, women and children
be roasted alive than that the sensi-
bilities of building inspector be in
suited by the suggestion that he didn't
attend TO his business? In Germany,
every fire is a crime and the occupant
of the building is held responsible. In
the United States we have a lot OF
auritulous heehawers who win tell
you that no fire is crime, but the
fire insurance companies, alone, are re-
sponsible.

Its tropic isles all mirrored lay
| With glistning coral strands;
Its mountains and its valleys seem
Before my eyes to lie,
Its varied surface seems dream
Beneath the pictured sky.
And what alittle world it seems
Compared with worlds in space,
OF which we catch the faintest CLEANS
AS we their movements trace;
But tbs busy world we find,
Its people all astir
Through workings Of the human mind,
OF wondrous character
Peace dwells with all its blessings

Wnlle yOnder haVOC re1gnS,
Here no portending clouds Of fear,
There, crimsoned are the plains;

Which quite o'crcometh me,
| know it dire destruction means,
But oh how can 1t be?

The splendors of the East

On purple sunsets feast;
roam in thought DER deserts hot
Stand by each Pyramid
Then trace the Nile unto the spot
Where little Moses hid.

And watch the glist'ning snow,
lear the volcanoes thunder speak,
See ruined wales below;
watch the oceans stsrr wrath
When Neptune rules the wave,
note the fierce tornado's path
And see each open grave.
rom Pole to Pole, from East to West
The world before me lies,

Meath the o'erhanging skies;

Upon this rolling earth

The Land that gave us birth.

evidently looks after the physical as

pills, stated at recent meeting OF
school superintendents that twice re-
Gently he had found mops used by the
janitor in oiling the floor, burned to
ashes, it being evident that the build
ing each time narrowly escaped being
fred. To prove the nature of the
trouble Professor Bryan saturated
several mops with tbs oil and hung
them where there were no infiamma-
BILE surroundings. A mop saturated
with oil at p. m, was found to be
very warm at a. m, and in one in
stance Professor Bryan watched a
mop until it burst into flames. It is
possible that the fire which caused the
frightful holocaust at the Collinwood
school may have started in this way.
At any rate Professor Bryan's expert
ment proves that the apprehension OF
many people regarding the hazard of
these floor oils is well founded, and
that care should be taken to make sure
they are harmless before their use is
introduced in buildings. especially
such buildings as hoolhouses.-Dai

The story is fascinating; the situations new and startling; the settings elabor- ate; the art of the Thanhause.' well known stars, superb.
 Years previous to the opening of the story, Hargreave had been a member of the Black Hundred, but for some reason had disappeared from their number. In the mean time his daughter had been reared in Q girls boarding school. At the time the story opens he summons the daughter, a girl of eighteen, known as Florence Gray, to return to her home. Two days previous tC her return the Countess Olga and Brain, members of the Black Hundred and arch conspirators in the story, at a cafe, recognize liar greaves as their former ally, and on the next day, having him shadow ed, learn that he had removed from a safety deposit, a package, which they believed contained the million dollars. HargreaYes receives note from the Black Hundred de- manding the money, and realizing that he is watched and the house surrounded, escapes from the roof in a balloon. During the excite ment incident to his escape, Land is shown taking the money from the safe. The whole interest o' the play from then on Is What became of the million?"
 The next day the daughter comes home accompanied by a girl compan- ion, is received by the butler, Jones, and is shown a portrait of her father, whom she has never seen. Soon after her arrival, she is interviewed bv the newspaper re rorter, Jim Norton, who becomes her staunch friend. The Black Hundred, thinking that Florence knows where the money is hidden, try various planE of kidnapping her and forcing her to tell. The Count ess Olga by pretending frienship for Florence, greatly aids them thoug' her sincerity is suspected by Norton and the butler. once they entice her to a fifth story room and turn loose a. huge snake to frighten her. By her presence of mind in overturning the lamp and under cover of the ensuing confusion, she escapes. Another time they lock her in a room in heautiful country house from which she is rescued through a secret underground passage-way by Jim Norton and tho butler.
