Tiiic'd to Burn Altoorm.
Altoona, 'Pa., March 31.—An attempt
was made late last night and early this
morning to destroy Altoona, four in-
cendiary fires being kindled in different
parts of the city between the hours of
11 and 1:30 o’clock. Prompt work by
the fire department alone saved the
‘town from possible destruction. The
entire loss, however. will aggregate
between $50,000 and $60,000. There is
scarcely a. doubt but that the fires were
of incendiary origin, as they originated
in places where the matter was of the
most inflammable character and in
widely different sections of the city.

FOR ' STARTING THE FIRE.
The Final Use to \Vhich the Fisherman
'Puts His Discarded Nets. ,
Ln'the majority, of households an. old
néWspaper is the" material most com-
monly used to start a fire. ~ But there
are houses in» which paper is never
used for «this purpose—the homes of
fishermen. Here, year in, and year
out, day after day, the fire is started
with achunk of discarded tarred net-
ting, there is nothing like it.
When a net gets tender, so that it is
-likely to burst when a body of kelp or
seaweed floats against it in a tide way,
or to break with a big catch of fish, it
is condemned. It may be whole and
look all right, but it doesn't pay to
take risks with it. Some fishermen
using a considerable number of nets
may have half a ton of such netting in
a year; It is thoroughly dried before
it is used. It all ignites quickly. and
burns fiercely and uniformly, with n
bluish flame and rather a pleasant
odor. A properly laid fire with a sec-
tion of old tarred netting to start it
never goes out.-—New York Sun.

A CHEERING COM PANI-CN.
“'hen the Criminal’s \Vatcli
Ticking He ‘Vent Crazy.
“What a small thing will keep a man
from insanity when in solitary confine
merit,” said a prison warden recently.
“I read the case of a prisoner who
somehow in solitary confinement had
managed to keep his silver watch so
creted on his person. For a time he
kept up very well, and, as his crime
was :1 terrible one, we cdid not feel like
ielensing him, but one day he became
violent and crazy, and we finally de«
cidcd to remove him to the hospital.
In his (-011 we found the watch, with
the main spring broken.
“It seems that as long as the watch
continued to tick in his ear at night he
- felt as if he had a companion and his
dark cell did not seem so solitary. He
caressed the watch fondly, talked to it
and it talked to 'him. Hour after hour
it spoke and he was enabled to endure
the terrible loneliness, with this/cheer-
Stopped
ing and gossipy companion. ,"'He told,
me after'waid that he put w01ds to
that ticking and that the watch seemed
almost like a thing of life.
“But one night something snapped
and its voice ceased. He wound it up
anxiously and still it was silent: It
was like the death of something'be-
loved, the passing away of the dearest
thing on earth. Before it had been ani-
mated and full of life, with a tongué.
that wagged and wagged. Now it was
a bit of dead, lifeless metal.‘ The long
hours of the night weighed upon him.
He seemed to see? strange visions. His
loneliness was frightful. And then—the
next morning they found him raving
