A Conflagration In a New York Residence From an Unusual Cause. NEW YORK, Feb. 28.—Fire started in a peculiar manner in the four story building at 78 West Forty-sixth street today. There was a loud explosion and the sky- light was blown into the air. The roof then caught and the tenants ran from the building in the greatest excitement. The ground floor of the building was occupied by the Locust Farm Dairy com- pany. The floor above it was used as manl~ cure parlors by Dr. E. T. Asbaldeston. The third and fourth floors were occupied as sleeping apartments for the family of the doctor and his servants. . The doctor’s family was startled from sleep by a terrific explosion which shook the house. All of the members of the family and the servants on the top floor jumped from their beds and without waiting to dress themselves rushed down stairs to the street. The roof had by this time caught fire and the flames were shooting high in the air. Policemen McAulifie and Flynn 0f the East Fifty-first street station heard the explosion and saw the flames. .They ran to the house and sent in an alarm. On the arrival of the engines the entire top floor of the building was on fire, and it was feared that the adjoining buildings would become ignited, so a second alarm was turned in. The firemen fought the flames for half an hour. before they sub- dued them. The third and top floors were gutted, and the balance of the house was deluged by Water. The loss is’estimated at $10,000. No one could be found who could ex- plain how the explosion occurred. Dr. Asbaldeston gave it as his opinion that the gas in the‘ hallway escaped dur- ing the night and ascended to the roof un- derneath the skylight, and that the gas which was lighted on the top floor in the hallway set it ofi. He said there was nothing in the house, so far as he knew, of a combustible nature. The family was cared for by neighbors. A GREAT DIAMOND ROBBERY. Jewels Worth $4,000 Stolen From a Res- idence In Brooklyn. BROOKLYN, Feb. 28.-—The police have another robbery to work upon, and with poor prospects of success, as it is admitted that so far there is not a single clew to the identity of the thief or thieves. There is little doubt that it was the work of pro- fessionals. The victim was Mrs. St. John Wood, who lives at 227 Prospect park. west, with her father, Jacob Dettmer, vice president of the People’s Trust company in Montague street. The robbery occurred while the family was at dinner in the basement. The front door was entered by means of false keys, and there was noth- ing to indicate that the thieves had stop- ped anywhere. before reaching the room on the third floor occupied by MrsLWood. In « i a buEEdTi’dIEWer ii'thls From was ijew‘el case containing about $4,000 worth of jaw- cls in settings of various descriptions. The case was emptied of its contents, and then the thieves made their escape through a window in the rear of the third story on to a soaffold on the house adjoining and thence to the rear yard and over the back fence. . The robbery was discovered by Mrs. Wood when she went to her jewel case for some articles previous to going out. Police Cap- tain Campbell of the Bergen street station was immediately notified, and with two detectives began work on the case. From their investigation they are satisfied that the thieves knew the condition of things in the house and where the jewel case was, as there is no evidence that they touched anything in the room except the drawer which contained the jewels. No one has yet been found who saw anybody in the vicinity of the Dettmer residence, and the police admit that they have what is apparently an almost hopeless case. 5' The Warren Robbers Still at Large.

This theory was advanced by Roentgen himself.

Dust and Disease Germs Removed by the Wagon Load. A Chicago Telephone Cmco Which figs 2. Novel System of Purifying the Atmosphere for Its Employes. Air that has been thoroughly laun- dered is good enough for breathing pur- poses, just the same as if there were no smoke inspectors. Itlis really as good as if brought from the mountains or some seaside resort, in the opinion of about 200 “hello” girls employed by the telephone com- pany. The officers of the company are inclined to believe the same thing, judging from an economic instead of a hygienic point of view. Thcse opin- ions have been formed as the result of the adoption of an ingenious Smelt-bod of ventilation for the operating-room of the main office of the company. This system, so for as known, is not in operation elsewhere in this coun- try, and its remarkable success is at- tmcting much attention from architects and manufacturers. It has suggested an innovation in the construction of the big‘ office buildings which may lead to a. revolution in heating and ventilat- ing systems. In its workings the system, which has been recently perfected by A. V- Abbott, chief engineer of the telephone company. resembled nothing more closely than a laundry. The air breathed by the little army of young women on the top floor of the building is first washed, then dried, then heated or cooled, as the case demands, and finally, to carry out the comparison, it is pressed. The washing removes a. wagon load of soot and (lust and disease germs, the mere sight of which is enough to arouse wonder in the average man’s mind how he lives in the climate of Chicago. The drying removes every traCc of ‘ moisture, the heating or cooling brings the air to just the right temperature, ; and the compression follows as a. nut-- ural consequence of the introduction of several thousand cubic feet of air every minute liltO a. big room almost hermetically sealed. It was to overcome conditions which seriously impaired the efficiency of the telephone company’s service that the present system of ventilation was do- vised. The delicate apparatus of the lingo switchboard was in a constant slate. ol' tl‘iSOl‘del'. owing to the dust and soot that entered the room. Sub— scribers were continually complaining that their telephones were out of order, as many as 400 complaints being on file in General Manager I-Iibbard's office at once. ' The trouble was not in the telephones, hutin the operating-room. In this room, 40x90 feet, is a. switchboard in which are 190,000 little holes, each hole represent- ing four wires. When a. subscriber asks for a connection with some other sub- scriber the operator pushes a brass plug into one of the holes, which raises a. delicate spring, known as a “jack.” The presence of a speck of dust or soot . on one of these “jacks” renders a. con- nection. impossible, and then the sub- scriber complains. Pure, fresh air, always of the same temperature, now makes the operating— room about the most desirable place to work in in Chicago. Down in the base- ment of the building is a big rotary fan that sucks in the air which the ordinary citizen is obliged to breathe. As the current enters .the basement through a. huge tube it pawes into a tightly-closed chamber, in which a rainstorm is con- stantly raging. This condition is effected by three rows of small nozzles or atomizcrs, which discharge a. perfect cloud of spray and remove every particle of dirt from the air. The dirt passes off into a. well, while the air is .whirled through a battery of spiral tubes. The twisting motion, or centrifugal force,remo.ves the last trace of moisture from the air, and it then passes into another chamber, where it is heated in the winter or cooled with ice in the summer. Then the current is directed upward through a. shaft that leads to the top floor of the building and into the operating-room. Every window in the operating-room is tightly closed and sealed around the cdges,while double doors make it neces- sary for one to enter the room through what constitutes an air-locked passage. The supply is forced through vents, or registers, opening through the ceil— ing from a tube that runs around the room. - It is compressed air, although its density is so slight as to be almost inapprcciable. ‘- Every three minutes the air is com- pletely changed, the supply being cal- culated at 10,000 cubic feet a minute.— Chicago Times-Herald. War Trains in Canada. The Canadian Pacific railway, after many months of labor, has constructed at an enormous cost two special mili- tary or war trains, comprsing 14 cars for men, two cars for cooking, two Pullman cars for officers, two cars for arms and stores, and two dining cars. The oflicers’ cars are luxurious] ' fitted 3 out and contain staterooms, lavatory, smoking—room, etc. Each train is com- posed of 11 cars and engine, and gives ample sleeping accommodations for 306 men and 15 ofiicers, although over 100 more men could find room. The men’s cars are well finished and fur- nished with modern improvements. The kitchen car has all the utensils of a large-sized hotel, and requires. six cooks and two helpers. This one car can turn out over 1,500 meals a day. During a. trip from Halifax to Van- couver on the war train 5.500 meals for officers and men were prepared.
