building has been completed to the ex-
| tent of steaming up to see how 1t
worked and to find leaks on several
days Of this week. The carpenters in
| the building said that it worked fine
| and rather seemed to think that it was
of excellent capacity. in fact from
their expressions one would be led to
think that they considered steam heat
as entirely unnecessary at this season
| Of the year.

I returned here. Several months ago
Mr.. Jewett had the fortune OF witness
ing several Zeppelin raids on the city

dropping and exploding, though none
| exploded in his immediate neighbor-
hood. Since that time heavy air craft
| guns have been mounted in all sec

bring down a Zeppelin at any height

established the Germans have discon-
tinued their raids on London and other

| siderably with the continent, and was
much interfered with by the war.
