Th« Hetropolitan fire brigade of LonAon city and London county tuLs proved too sniail. There are fewer firea in London in projortion to its Bize, than in any American city of the first cla.<ia; nevertheless, a "standing fire brigade" equal to ail eniergencieii It baa been again and again proved is necessary in the great metropolis. It is a simple qucBtton of matliematicH »s to whether it is cheaper to burn up $10,000,000 every decade In one col- ossal burst of uncontrolled flajiie,, or t» increase the yoarly output and keep ft "staoidlng foToe" equal to the erucial teat, vvhen thai test cornea. The Londoners boa«t that they have ''so few fires." T,u«t year thjere were 4.815 calls or fire alarms, out of theae 925 wore laiao, but had to be answered but let the dreaded duplicate fire of size demand a division of apparatus and what would hai»i«nf Think only of the miles to \» traversed for one of the two huge and efficient trucks to reach a fire, and the force shows up again weak. The fire brigade has in use what is Icnown as THE MANUAL ENGINE. There are eighty of them and for mi- nor caUfi they are used exclusively and do guod work. too. The force po.ssessi-s, strictly speaking but 57 land engines and is dependent on Huburban assis- tance when those fall short. They have also two engine trollies.

The brigade has eleven cral vans, the caiiaclty of which was severe- ly tried in thi-s last fire calamity, for the engines a.te coal ax did the fire the buildings it was reducing to fuel. To drive tlie rolling stock and pilot the floating stock, the department is furnishetl with soven,ty-five drivers and. seventeen pilots. The total num- eV>r of honses is one hundred and thirty-iseven. No description of a fire department could be complete wi.thout a word al:x)ut the b^iraea. The London fire I brigade has some of the most superb all the same. Of the 3,920 fires that , and well drUled animals In the world, get a start, only 142 proved of really The horses are trained as are ours. They know the alarms and go to their serious proportions and gave battle to the forcn; the rest were trifles, most of them merely chimney fires; which Bp».akB rather badly for the London flue by the way. Th* Metropolitan fire brigade was •stabUshed thirty years ago, after the great fire of 184!6, at which time St. Catharine's docks were destroyed. The ivorlA-famous Capt. Shaw soon took the force in hand and through his services London was content. Never- theless, in 1887, fifteen millions of dol- lars went up in smoke in one grand bon-fire, and almost immediately the maaagement of the fire brigade was changed and given into the hands of tlie county council, which still controls It. So much to past history. THE PRESENT CHIEF of the force, L. De L. Wells, R. N.. has under him only 820 men and an area of 118 square miles to guard and pro- tect; that means that he has the whole of London, hrosully speaking, the city and the county, too. In the thirty years of the life of the brigade it has quadrupled its power and p< ssessioiis but the frequency of fire has almost quadrupled too, and the brigade is nut •trong enouigh. In London there are to-day but 57 laml stations with 17 sub-street sta- tions, and there are something over 10.000 miles of streets to lie covered. I.>a.it yenr the engines traveled o^er 78 175 m' efl in answering their "few calls" to fire, and Ihny used 103,000 tons of water in putting out chim- â- ey fires and the "Ui- that were ser- ious," 1'be truth of the matter is that though London Is water-loggedâ€" lor It rains there three-sevenths of the timeâ€" llhough the very air is 82 i>er cent, water soaked, fire is growing to be daily a more imminent danger. The firemen have to work under the most unfavoralile oonditions, against ma- terial that onne ignited would be in our dry atmoBi>here and frequent droughts, just BO much tinder. It is pleaded that the lyondun firemen can- not be expert as they have no great opportunity for practice. Well, that opportunity, will come, is come, in fact, and in time old, narrow, crooked, liis- torical London will all Ija burned down and rebuilt, which will lessen the fire problems of the future. lle.'iidea the 57 land stations there are five large floating stations, that guard the eml;ankment and (be do ks where lies London's wealth.

To supplement t he water force there are 18 barges and 1£ skiffs, a force that applied to a les- ser need would lie magnificent, but Ix>nd.on must pay the cost of Iwing the greatest city of the world. Her five flioating L-tations, nine barge en- flnes eight tugs, thirUven liargesand welve skiffs are not enouigh for the miles upon miles of water front, where are enthronewi the money mak- ing mills of the nation, the very seat •f commerce of the "greatest commer- cial country of the glolie."

Stubl>orn or tatupld action on the part- of a fire horse might at any time mean thousands of dollars of extra loss. The horFe, is, of course, utterly ignorant of (this, nor has he any interest in the re.Hult as have his masters, yet who ever heard of the fire hirse that was tardy, that was not willing to use his la.st breath to get there, who was not in place to have his collar snapped on, and at the sound ready to dart out with his heavy clattering load' More honor is due ths fire horse than he gets from the public but he is appre- ciated by his co-Avorkers, the men, and in London, as here, each station has its idol, and the strife for first pla'.e for their horaes amon^ the men is strong. As compared with our home equip- ments THE GENERAL VERDICT in regard to the Knglish fire equip- ment, is that it Is unnei-essiirily heavy cumljerstone, bulkyâ€" that there are Iiounds upon pounds of superfluous weight dragged a'out, whi-h make the placing and shifting of the engines Sn the narrow streets almost impoa- siUie and always a matter of time and delay.

Clay lands should be plowed In the fall, aa the mellowing by frost will permit of better as well as earlier planting. On our level lands w^ i>Iow ao as to plant the treea on the ridge in the center of a narrow land. This assists in drain- age and makes a dee]ier, mellow soil for the tree roota. The trees were planted one rod apart in all the older orchards. Now the tendency is toward a greater dietance. The selection of varieties is a very important matter. Some of the fin- est (leaches do not beajr enough to be profitable. The fruit of some of the beet varieties is too tender for ship- ment. Others rijien sit the time when larger and better varieties are in the market. The list of profitable market sorts is small. The phenomenal success of the Elberta has created a large de- mand for trees of that variety. S« far it tt thb best all around peach grown. A list suitable for one local- ity n' -ht not be the one which should be se .ted for another. Varieties do not l^. have alike in all localities. Mar- kets are not alike in their deman Is. And no list can be given which is ad- apted to all localities. A g^ood rule is to plant the varieties your nearest suc- cessful neighbour has found profitable. Pruning should begin before the tree is planted and cuntinue during its pro- ductive years, but it is most imiortant be left rouifh or be made smooth," Dr. Carr saya^ "the question was submit- ted to this trees, half of the wounds being left as made by the pruning-sD>w, the other being smoothed as by a chis- el or knife." The difference in healingi was slight and in favor of the saw cut. there being less checking, and the pre- parations used to cover the wountl re- maining a trifle better. ' 'rhe next question was with what to cover the wound. To test this five dif- ferent materials were uaed. namely, li- quid grafting, wax. shellac varnish, white lead paint, pine tar, and coal tar, and as a check, nothing. The wax gave best results, both in aiding the wound to heal and in the durability The shellac-covered wounds did not heal as wbll as those untreated. Paint did not hinder and there w^as but little evidence that it favored it. Pine tar was rather worse than nothing, and coal tar proved an alieolute hindrance. But, says Dr. Cttrr, " when we come to the matter of checking, results are dif- ferent. LTntreated wounds check worst of all. while thoae covered with paint checked least. Wax ond coal tar are both deci'ledly beneficial. To pre- vent checking is quite as important as healinr the checks serve as start- ing place:, wT decay, which may, in' time, destroy the life of the tree." In thb pruning done the first of the year, when the weather was cold, the wounds not treate.-! with an ai>plica- tion very soon began to check. While the applications iirevented this for a time the shellac soon began to crack and drop off, when the exposed wood would then crack. The wax showed a tendency to do so, hut not so badly. Coal lar stayed on better than the others, (laint coming next. If the wound heala well it doe.s not matter whether the application droiJS off or not. but it was found that where the cover does not stay the wound is likely to crack ojien. Taking everything into considers^ tion., Dr. Carr says nothing seems bet- ter for covering pruning wounds than common paint, grafting wax ranking next. DUCKS AND TURKEY.

Rows, Bishop of tbft missionary district of Alaska, in bis second annual report, whii'h he has just transmitted to the Board of Managers of the Comeatic and Foreign Missionary Society of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, has this to say of the ElooidikB gold fields. "From the beginning the story of Alaska has been romantic. It has been a story of surprises. The latest one is the almost fabulous richness of the recent gold discoveries. Ths stories of these retul like fables, but they contain much that is true. This is not a pertinent subject, perhaps, for this report ,but the effect which it will have upon our work will justi- fy the reference. The district in which these rich claims ar<i found is Canadian territory. It is undoubted- ly rich and of great extent. That other finds as rich aa these will be made is an uncertainty, but should they be only one-fiftieth aa rich they will be exceedingly valuable. "A solier estimate of the number of men likely to go to this section with- in a year is from 100,001) to 500,000.
