RANG OUT ALARM OF FIRE
A. Late ~ Civil War Days New York
Employed Bells to Warn Citizens
Of Danger.

Not longer ago than Civil war days
fire alarms We're rung In the city on
great bells hung In towers erected for
the purpose about the town. The bells
indicated the district In which the fire
was and sometimes q good deal Of
ground was covered In looking for
fire. The First district, for instance,
In Civil war days extended from Twen-
ty-second street north to Yorkville and
from the East river to the North.
The bell ringers were constantly on
duty In the towers watching for signs
of fire. An inventory of the contents
Of the old Marion street bell tower In
1865 shows the equipment then In use.
II Is as follows: zone bell. weight H.
400 pounds; one striking apparatus,
one stove, table, clock, one spyglass.
one field glass, one slate and book"
The fire bells Of the old city coul
be heard all over the town unless
gale Of wind was blowing. The larges
bell was In the City hall tower. Its
weight was $4,000 pounds.-New York

MANDALAY BEST IN WINTER
Burmese Capital Known to All Whites
In India az an Ideal Cold
Weather Resort.

Doubtless 1t will surprise a great
many persons to learn that Mandalay,
famed of song and story, is little more
than half century old. 1t was built
In 1856 by King Mindon, who made II
the capital of what was then indepen-
dent Burmah.
Something more than 300 feet above
the level of the sea, Mandalay sits
tightly upon stretch of lakeland
just In front of the Shan hills. The
city proper extends over about five
Of Mandalny covers a more extensive
area.
With the British soldier, Mandalay
has taken on great deal of the char
acter of vacation resort. In the tor
rid months Of the Burmese summer
the heat becomes very great, some
times making the thermometer rise to
119 degrees In the shade; but relief Is
easily found In the adjacent hills The
British sanitary officers have succeed
ed In discriminating all the fevers and
other diseases with which the climate
was once infested.
In winter-or as near to winter as II
gets-Mandalay becomes a semipara-
disc. for the temperature stnys mt
about 80 degrees. Happy the British
soldier who Is assigned to this garri-
son.
Like as not he sits of afternoons un-
derneath the shadow Of the Moulmien
pagodn gazing dreamily at the fotillas
on the Irrawaddy.
Cant you hear their paddles chunk
in from Rangoon to Mandalay?"
Or perhaps he looks at the distant
mountains, tabled to be 80 rich in ala
:baster and rubies. And very often the
whole picture as drawn by Kipling Is
complete, even to the temple bells and
the Burmese maiden.

The Social Fabric.

To uphold the social system women
submit to uncounied tests of their con-
stancy. They endure physical discom-
fort, ennui, the peril of cold drafts and
damp places, hours of WEAKNESS and

sake Of what, TO a man, is an unim-
portant social matter. And even

Amusing Trick is Simple.

One of the most amusing tricks In
fireworks is the serpeRt's egg trick.
where little pellet when lighted turns
into a horrible snake, many, many
times the size Of the pellet. How
nwe-inspiring 1t is to the youngster
Most people have no idea what in the
world causes the snake to appear. The
explanation Is simple. Mercury sui
pho-cyanid burns with volumlno,
ash. The little pellet is nothing more
than some mercury sulpho-cyanid.
The heat causes the ash to move of
50 quickly from the burning pellet that
II writhes and dlstorts itself into the
