In the early hours of February 25, an awful fire raged m Pdrk Street, otn of the worst quarters m Birmingham, and before it had b Aen overcome five persons lost their lives, and another died later m the day as tho result of m juries received m attempting t( ■" PRcane. Three others are severely m jaredi The' rfirp, which was discovered be tween one and two o'clock, originated m No 2, back 0! 51 P*rk • treef, a three-storied building < i small riiravn aions, forming one of % row of fou which constitute one sids of an irregu l.ariy shaped court;. Is ia described by the police as a house of bad character. The premises wore licensed for sis lodgers, but on Sunday night it was occupied by eleven m^n and women, including the tenant, Michael Hayes, a rnnti of eighty three, and hia house keeper, Mar} MeHoaan, aged ssventv A womin named Adderly was awak ened by the intensity of the heat, which was so gre»t that her hair was singing She raised an alarm, but so .firm a hold had the flimes obtained that by the time the fire brigadf arrived they were roaring like a fur nace, The house, too, whs so hemmed ..iaithat it was with the greatest diffi ' calty that the firemen could get the hose to work. From the outset it wa> ppparenfc that to rescue the inmate was wlUnigh ioipo3»ib!e Four o them, wo'i.en, jumoed from the wif>— dow'-, and one, nsmed J.tne B:-i!e.*, vgrrl fcwHfit.v-f-ii^ht, reoeived such ier rinlft injuri^H that sh« died m th General Hospital later m the d»y. Two of the other three are detained m the hospital. The firemen made gal lant attempts to reach the others, but time after time they were driven back ecorched and half eufiocated. When thefleime.s were got under control the charred remains of five people were picked out 0! the debris. They were Michael Hayes and his housekeeper, -Mary Mellman ; a young woman named Eliztbeth Turner; Sarah Ann Hughes, aged thirty three, who has Jived at the place for five or six months; and a reservist known aa ' Georgie,' who hasrecently returned from Sooth Africa, Fis corpse was found m the room on the ground floor, Laving fallen from fche bed room above. Hayes and faiß housekeeper, and the women Turner and Hughes, occupied the rooms m fche top storey. An unknown man left the house earlier m the morning, and he was heard to scratch matches to find his way out It wes shortly after this that the fire occurred

The Telephone of the Future.

"Some very remarkable experiments, which sefHi dsatined to eig'E^aHse the beginnine; of a new era m telephony, were recently conducted m .Paris,J' says a W'lterfn the Windsor Magazine. "About a hundred gneste, assembled m tbe garden of the official residence of the Under secretary of State for Posts and Tcleg aphs were anabled fco hear songs and speeches transmitted by telephone from a room one hundred and fifty yarda aw-iy the voices beins; reproduced without any perceptible loas of volume. This remark able result was obtained with m telephone invented by M Gr rmain, an t-fficial of the Dapa»taaent. This invention is considered likely to effect bnch a revolution m tele ph' ne commnnic tion thab the French authorities have ordered an exhaustive trial of the new instrument;, with a view to its general adoption. Tbe nt w py.stem however, poßsepaes sach manifest acvan' tage for longdistance communica iors thafc its general adoption can only be a mater of time. The day ia not far distant when the Manchester manufacturer will be able to converse with I.ls agent m Berlin as easi'y as the Oapel Court opera 1 tor now p'vf-s his orders to his broker on the P*riß Burse. Theoretical'y the use of powerful currents ehould make it possible to es'ablish telephone communication between Europe and America bebthe difficulty snl txpense attendant on 'aying a suitable cable ktand m the w y. M Germain, however, by no means desj am i f rvercomtng the obstacle. His microphone has already given birth fco a *»nicro transmitter 1 which sets as a loud Bpeaking telephone over 2,50') miles. Early m 1899 the writer was present at some exp jrimonts with the Germain telephone r>n an ariifioial clicoit having the same ref.iatence (1 f.OO ohms) as the telephone line between London and Paria With the email deskreceiver the voice wae clearly anHihln m every part of a large room. With a tubular receiver eight feet long, passing through the wall ©f the hoase, the v^ice was distinctly audible fifteen yards Irom the month of the receiver m the open air. After so severe a teat as this, there fa nothing incredible m M. Germain's claim to be able to transmit sound of any kind, and reproduce it two hundred and fifty miles away bafore an andiuuee of two thousand people asat mbled m any hall of first class acoustic pio^ertiep."

A Difficult Job.

Id a London elite ptreeb, long after midnight, a policeman found two men silently wrestling m the roadway. He approached qaietly and watched for some miuates. Ucmpietely mystified he de* manded presenJy what 'their little game" was. *• Well, guv'ra r'' a*id the less Intoxi cated of the two, f'l've got to get this billy — h Ie .1 —bloke 'ome some'ow. but the beggar won't stand—hie ! — and he'a only fell down again " " I doiA wonder at iii," eaid the bobby stolidly, " for youVe [etood him on his head four times while I've been gwatching yon"

A prominent artigfc vouches for fcho tiuth of the following story:-Ha one day induced a preuy girl, who cold ontuges m the west end streets of .London, to sifc ''for him aa a model. In trying to interest her, while he pin ted, he aektd hit m the course of conversation, whether she was not often annoyed by the loafers and blackguards usually Been m and around fashionable btreets. "Yes, sir," she ""replied, "I am of ton bothered; bub it is always by 'swells', Uvntlernen is much greater blackguards than what blackguards is"
