BELIEVE BLAZE TO HAVE BEEN OF AN LEGENDARY
 ORIGIN.
ORIGINATES IN WAREHOUSE
Fire Discovered by Missouri Pacific Telegraph Observation-Disclosures Quickly Answer Alarm and Assist in Every Way
 Possible.

Parkin-Twelve business houses, two residences and the w. NJ Wilson hotel were destroyed by fire entailing a loss estimated at approximately $100,000. About $28,000 insurance was carried on the property destroyed.
 The blaze, which was the second i conhagration here within four months, is believed to have been of incendiary origin. Officers who made an inves- 1 tigation said that indications point to the work of firebug. They suspect local resident, it was said.
 The buildings covered block and a half in the business section. They were on the south side of the Missouri Pacific station, while the main busi- ness section of the town is north of the station. Among the buildings de- stroyed were:
 The w. M Wilson hotel, two resi- dences occupied by Abe Glass and F. G. Sanders and owned by Sim Cox, two cafes owned by L. s. Stevenson, the Hall drug store, H. M Greens meat market, J. Cline's grocery, Abe Glass dry goods store, Jake Raejes- ky's grocery. w. D. Gray's grocery, A. B. Coles furniture store. J. w. Presley's grocery and Kauffman's va riety store.
 Five of the burned business build ings and the two houses were owned by Sim Cox. His loss was estimated at SIP 2,000 He allowed his insurance to lapse about three weeks ago, and his loss was total.
 MT. Coles furniture store was val ued at s10000. He carried about s8.000 insurance The loss on Greens meat market, including the building. is estimated at $S.000. He carried $4,0G0 insurance.
 The fire originated in a warehouse at the rear of the Cole furniture store. MT. Cole said that there had been no fire in the warehouse during the day, and that he believed the blaze was started Intentionally. How ever. he was unable to assign cause.
 Harold Jamison, telegraph operator at the Missouri Pacific station, dis covered the fire. Theer is no fire de- partment in Parkin, but volunteers quickly answered the alarm. It soon was apparent that efforts to check the blaze would prove futile, and the vol unteers began emptying stores. This kept the loss down considerably. Most of the towns 2,500 inhabitants as sisted.
 Parkin suffered fire loss in the business district about four months ago, property being worth about sI5,- 900 going up in smoke. lncendiarism was suspected at that time, but off cers were unable to obtain a clew.

OF SAME ORIGIN AS COAL
Wood Believed to Be Basis of Jet, Sub- stance Long Used for Various
 Ornaments

Jet is a sort of Ignite or anthracite, often cut and polished, which has the peculiarities in weight and texture ot the hardest kind of anthracite. It has been used in Britain since before his toric times, and was common in the bronze age, from which times have come jet beads buttons, rings, armlets and other ornaments.
 Julius Caesar alludes to the abInd- ance of jet in Britain, and jet orna- ments are found with Roman relics in them The monks used jet for TO- sary beads at Whitby Abbey, and at Whitney, where 1t was found in the greatest abundance. It occurs in ir- regular masses in hard shale known as Jet rock.
 Often microscopic examination dis closes coniferous wood in the compo- sition of jet It is probable that jet was developed when masses of wood drifted down river, routed or became water logged and sank out at sea, be- coming gradually buried in deposit of fine mud which hardened eventually into Shale. Sometimes drops of hi- tumin are found fin jet cavities, which seems to confirm the suspicion of its wood origin.-Detroit News
