MYSTERIOUS FIRE
DEF|ES FIGHTERS
Three Missing in New York Warehouse
conflaaration. - Greenwich
Artists Give Aid

New York.-A stubborn, puzzling,
warehouse fire in the Greenwich vii
lage section of the city broke out and
was still blazing after nearly 100000
gallons of water had been played on
the flames from 40 hose lines.
With the flames checked but not
conquered, investigation showed that
two firemen had been killed, three
more were missing, about 10 persons
had been taken to hospitals seriously
injured and more than IT'S had received
first aid treatment at three emergency
stations opened by the Red Cross. In
addition, about 500 families were driv-
en- from their homes In the Bohemian
quarter, and were barred by the police
from returning, lest the warehouse
walls collapse.
The outstanding feature of the fire
was the mysterious, pungent black
smoke that rolled out of the building
soon after the first of the blasts.
1t came in never ending clouds, set
Ting down about the base of the store
house and binding the fighters so that
they could not see the flames they
were combating. Though a mid-sum-
mer sun blazed down the firemen
found 1t black as midnight and rugged
great searchlights in their effort to
pierce the enfolding darkness.
Baffled as to the cause of the fire,
experts of the city sought to solve the
mystery.
The whole quarter was thrown into
a panic with the first blaze. After the
first terror of the explosions had sub
sided the Villagers began co-operat-
ing with the authorities in relief work.
While chemists studied the flames
to determine what was causing the
heavy smoke and filling test tubes with
water pouring from the burning build
ings for purpose of analysis, the artists
threw open their studios to exhausted
firemen.

A TIMELY INSTITUTION

The installation of Red Cross branch in Seward with Jane DeLano nurse in charge is a matter that resi- dents of this city may congratulate themselves upon.

 A community having Red Cross branch is doubly blessed; first for the distinction of being singled out as worthy of recognition; second, that the representative is experienced in the duties assigned and their errands of mercy are unhesitatingly made.
 Within short time the general pub lie will be called upon to aid the or ganization which today stands fore most in humanity's cause. The people of Seward should not be backward in giving support. .--..

THUNDER STORMS
NOT WORLDWIDE

Our own experiences and litera- |
miliar combine to give us the i'm
preston that thunder and lightning
are more or less universal. But such
is not the case. The humid re-
gions Of the tropics constitute the
real home of such storms. In some
regions in the torrid zone there are
as many as 200 days year when
thunder storms occur. These dis
turbances are quite frequent in the
semi-tropical areas and in. the
temperate zones. In fact, 1t is in
the latter that the greatest damage
rsults from lightning.
In general the frequency of thun-
der storms decrease as one moves
away from the equator until within
the arctic and antartic circles they
seldom occur. The lightning fash
and the rumble of thunder are un-
known to many Eskimos, says the
National Geographic Society. When
the Katmai volcano on the Alaskan
peninsula erupted in 1912 some of
the natives were more terrified at
the lightning and thunder that ac-
companied the dust clouds than at
the possibility of being buried by
ash, because they had nothing in
their lifelong experience by which
to judge the binding and deafenins
noise from the skies.
There are virtual blind spots"
for thunder and lightning, even ii
Pacific coast The extremes 2
the United States, mostly along the
Pacific coast. The extremes are
Tampa, Florida, which has an aver
age of more than 80 thunder storms
a year, and San Francisco, with an
average of less than one such storm
a year. At no place along the Pa
cifc coast do more than three or
four thunder storms occur in year,
