In the midst Of all this majesty and this

His Wake Robin" and other early books
were to some extent based on his studies and
investigations of bird life around Washington,
and it is perfectly natural that we partly in a
sense at least, look upon him as our own, since

National Capital. When he died suddenly on
March 30 1921, The Star said Of him:
John Burroughs, naturalist, died on a New
York Central train near Kingsville, Ohio on
his way home from California at o'clock this
morning. He had been very i'll for six weeks
with an abScess on the chest and with heart
and kidney complications.
He was so eager to get home that the long
journey was undertaken with the hope that he
could survive. The end came suddenly few
minutes after he had asked: How near home
are we?'
His physician. DR.. Clara Barrus his grand
daughter, Ursula Burroughs, and the Misses
Elinor and Harriet Burroughs accompanied
him.
John Burroughs was the venerable dean of

ers and the whole out-of-doors His highly
developed powers of observation and the charm
of his interpretations were the marvel OF his
critics.
His flowing white beard, his kindly MEN,
his whole habit of life and his literary style
were rather reminiscent of that famous New

two before him. His earliest writing an 'Ex-

The Waterbury Democrat., 1935-06-17
What a Difference

It was only few weeks ago that stren- uous efforts were being made by officials and men of the Fire Department to pre- vent the outbreak of serious conflagra- tions all over the city. Never in recent years were there more alarms registered at fire headquarters. And never have men of the various fire houses, particular ly those on the outskirts of the city, worked so hard in subduing those stub born blazes that sweep over acre after acre of brush and forestland.
 The contrast was strange one Satur- day when the columns of the Waterbury Democrat recorded the fact that firemen answered but one alarm from Sunday, June 9, right up to Saturday morning, the 18th. That really is record and fine one for big city like Waterbury. It is strange contrast to conditions of month ago described above. Of course the brush fire season is past with vegetation now at the verdant stage.
 Still it is possible for brush fires to oc- cur at this season of the year. And green trees will often burn just as fiercely and rapidly as dry ones. But householders aren't quite as careless now as they are apt to be when winter fades across the hill sides and spring steals in. You won't find the huge unprotected piles of rubbish heinz burned up by the wayside or Tn fields. You won't see men trying to burn over the same fields.
 There is altogether too much careless ness in most of our American communi- ties about the use of fire. There is rarely any thought given to the danger from. them. We should think that one such spring as Waterbury has just experienced would cause every property owner to re- solve that in the future the most elaborate precautions would be taken to prevent Spread of common ordinary little grass fending again, because they are implicit believers in their own self-sufficiency. Some stringent laws along these lines would be appreciated.
