THINGS
FORCED
All the serious fires seem to occur
on bitterly cold days or nights, and
the suffering of the men working; at
audi fires Is very great.
To stand upon th peak of a ladder
at perhaps the third or fourth story
of a building, directing the stream of
water at the blazing interior, while the
thermometer Is at about Its loweet
point, la not a comfortable task. Per
haps another stream Is playing over
your head, and you stand In an Icy
spray. Icicles hang from every point
of your fire hat. while the rubber coat
Is froien to your back; and the wa
ter that Is falling about you freezes
as faat as It falls. Every movement
upon the ladder U fraught with dan
ger, for It Is so tncrusted with Ice
. that It Is almost Impossible to get a
solid foothold, and a misstep would
burl you to the ground 40 feet below.
Work With Bar Bands.
The firemen find It difficult to get
any sort of glove that will protect
their hands In the extreme winter
weather. A woolen glove of any de
scription la saturated with water al
most immediately and freeiea stiff;
while one made of leather non get
into a condition nearly as bad', and
when dry becomes as hard an Iron
They are. therefore, forced to han
dle the hose with barn hands, no mat
ter how bitter the weather, and "pick
ing up" or stowing the hose away In
tha -"-hose-wagons after a fire Is over
becomea the most painful work. The
different lengtha of hose have to be
dragged up to the wagon through an
Icy slush, and sometimes they freeio
perfectly stiff the Instant the water
la turned off at the engine. To get
them atowed away In the new hose
wagona (where they are folded and
laid away In lengths), or wound upon
the reela In the hosecarrIages, 'ex
poses the men to the severest kind of
punishmen. Their hands become com
pletely numb and helpless from han
dling tha lea-clad pipe; and the metal
connections, cold to many degrees be
low freezing, almost sear their fin
gers In "breaking" or disconnecting
tha different lengths.
Bala of Molten Metal.
Broken glass and melted lead are
among tha other dangers that firemen
are compelled to face at bad fires.
Tha former occurs at almost every
fire, and la caused by the flames
. buTVtlng through the wlndowa, or by
thfl efforta of the men to make an
opening In the building. The latter Is
caueed by the burning away of metal
cornices and ornamental iron-work at
tha top of buildings. In which an im
mense amount of solder Is used to
hold parta together. When the roar
ing flames pour out of the top-story
windows of a building and curl up
against thla metal-work with the force
of a blast furnace, a perfect rain of
molten metal pours down, with an oc
casional piece of red-hot tin or sine,

Wives. The people who gathered

The author la professor of forest
engineering at New York State Col
lege of Forestry, Syracuse, and this Is
a practical book on forestry which is
up-to-date and intelligible to junior
readers, and which Is neither too tech
nical for Immature minds nor too
popularly written for grown-ups. It is
not a text-book nor an instructive
manual but rather a book of informa
tion on our original forests and the
forestry movement in this country
its origin and present status.
It will be of assistance to boys who
love the woods and wish to learn
more about our trees and it will be
especially helpful to Boy Scouts whr
are anxious to obtain merit badges on
conservation, forest protection or fire
prevention.
Besides the chapter on the life of
the forests and the activities of tne
lumber and log drive, there is one de
voted to the general subject of con
servation in which control of all nat
ural resources, water, gaa, oil and
mineral is advocated and tha reason
therefor given.

Come! Come! my blonde,
And hold me very tight.
So that I'm sure your sense
Is very faint andiight:
Then we will log together.
Thigh to thigh.
Until the rioor sputa
And the air is high
With mouldy powder
And with fetid wine;
Until my breath is voura.
And your breath mine,
.
Life is a madhouse
Where we rear and prance.
And I I have invited you
To dance.

Stanly K. Horn beck D. Appleton Com
pany, New York. o.00 set.
This volume la so extensive In
scope and character that limited space
precludes adequate detailed review.
Of the work the publishers eay:
After the war in Europe the politi
cal adjustment between China and Ja
pan, and China and the nations of Eu
rope, will ba subject for discussion
and conjecture for years to come.
Foreseeing the need of a comprehen
sive volume on the subject and one
that would be of Interest to the gen
eral reader, the author, who la assist
ant professor of political science at
the University of Wisconsin, and who
haa spent a great deal of time In the
far east, has out of the great wealth
of his experience and knowledge of the
subject, prepared a volume dealing
with current political Institutions and
current political tendencies In China
and Japan.
The Chinese period extends from
the beginning of tbe revolution in
which the repubMo waa established
through the return to monarchy; the
Japaneae from the landing of Com
modore Perry up to the coronation of
the present emperor. The book con
tains so much new material that It
will appeal to all who are Interested

Voyage of the Karluk." occurred- as -..
the result of unforeseen conditions
which brought about the complete ,
separation of the ship and her com-.
pany from Stefansson and the rest of
the expedition and led to a aeries of -perils
and adventures unique in Arc

The Karluk was under the Om
mand of Captain Robert A. Bartlett,;'
who, aa master of Peary's Roosevelt,
won the distinction of navigating a
ship farther north than ever ship was
navigated before. On the march to
wards the Pole, he led the way out v
over the Ice and turned back hardly
more than a hundred miles from ' tha
Pole when he had reached a higher
latitude than any other white man ex
cepting Peary himself. "Blue-eyed, J.'
brown-haired, stocky and steel-mils- -eled."
Peary has written In his book, '
"The North Pole." "Bartlett. whether
at the wheel of the Roosevelt ham-''
mering, a passage through the floes, :
or tramping and stumbling over tha
Ice-pack with the sledges, or smooth- r
ing away the troublea of the crew,'
waa always the same tireless, faith
ful, enthusiastic, true aa the com- '
pass." - ';'";;
For his work with Peary, Captala
Bartlett received medals from the
Royal Geographical society, tbe Na
tional Geographic society, and many
other scientific bodies.
