adopted by the city council, nuvda Its re

upon the commission aftinr the grant fire, at
Italtlmoro to complete Its work, In order
that steps may be taken as soim as poonlble
to prtvlda adequate flro protection for the
business district of Chicago, wherein are
located all of the "sky-ecrspers."
The plan recommended Is designed for a
capacity of 3iooo gallons per minute, oo.ua".
to 43,110,000 gallons for twenty-four hours
with a pressure at the pumps of 300 pounds
per square Inch, the trunk mains and lat

give a pressure of 90 pounde per square
Inch art.rr being forced through a trunk

order to reach any point In what Is known
a the down-town district.
Four double and twelve triple discharge
hydrants with four-Inch hose connections,
three hydrants surrounding a territory
from State street to Wabash aranuo and
JackMn boulevard to Van Xluren street,
would give a discharge of water from the
Slitran hydrants of 2!,QC4 gallons per min
ute, with a hydrant pressure of 300 pounds
to the square Inch. 'With this pressure and
discharge of water the fire department
would hare available forty-four one and
one-bolf-lnch streams and would be able
to hare a flow of water from each stream
equal to SI gallons per minute through
a one and one-quarter-lncJi norale after
bain- conducted through U0 feet of three
Inch hose snd S00 feet of threo-lnoh verti
cal standplpe, with a nossla pressure at
an elevation of S00 feet above street level
cf twenty-flve pounds per square Inch,
which would throw watxr forty-fire feet
fcorlaontal or would fire a height of
water S3 feet above street level.
With forty-four streams discharging
tt gallons eacli. there would be a dis
charge of S.000 gallons per minute sur
rounding: the block, at an elevation above
Street grade of S'4 feet, this being the
longest dlatanae that water would hare to

the down-town district front the pumping
station. Six special extras, four extra

could give only one-half of this flow and

Mr. George W. Jacksoa, the hydraulic
engineer who drew the plans, presented
estimates of $3.&A,424 ss the oost of In

baby princess of Italy, not yet 8 years old,
King Victor's first born. Is as winning as
she Is Imperious, and already the Idol of
the: court and people. On being asked
with whom she would like to dlna every
day, she mada out her dinner list thus:
"Papa there Mamma here, Mme. Loubct

when the princess goes to drive. Her at
tachment for Mme. Iiubet dates from the
time the royal mother and father returned
from France laden with dolls from the
French president's wife.
The other day, accompanied by an Abys
sinian nurse, Princess Yolanda stood In
front of the barracks where the soldiers
at the Qulrlnal palace are quartered.
Reaching her tiny hand to a flog hanging
over the entrance she insisted on touching
and shaking It as a Flgn of deference. Then
she asked to be admitted to see the sol
diers. The sentinel, not recognizing the
princess and esoort, refused to let them
enter, and was astonished when, on the
arrival of the corporal of the guard, the
littio girl, who was exquisitely dressed In
white, told her name and Insisted on being
admitted. The officers quickly summoned
ill the troops, who stood at attention,

displayed the liveliest Interest in every

explained its workings she Insisted on
being allowed to pull the trigger herself
to learn how to shoot. She bravely took
off l.er little glove and. helped by the offi

satisfaction. When It came time to leave

PARIS HEARS FUNNY THINGS
Prints Redtcnlons Stories of the En
terprise of Amerleaa Excur
sion Managers.
(Copyright, 1904, by Press Publishing Co.)
PARIS. Feb. 20. (New York World Ca
blegram Special TelegTam.) "Children,
would you rather go to war for your
Easter vacation or visit the St. Louis ex
position?" the Matin quotes an American
paterfamilias as asking.
In that newspaper and the Figaro are
articles which assort that the dead walls
of Han Francisco are placarded with
posters of rival tourist, concerns, which
read like this: "War Excursions, Trip to
Witness a Great Modern Rattle;" "Power
ful Searchlights for Viewing Night En
counters;" "Safest Bteamers, P.est Handled
on the Pacific Ocean; Passengers Can Boo
Everything Without tho Slightest Risk."
The children, of course, according to these
stories, choose to see the war, because
there Is more chance for a noise.
The writers conclude that tho attendance
at the exposition will suffer through the
rivalry of the counter attraction so handy
to America, "Just across the Pacific."
The Inference drawn from a card en
closed In the envelope which reads, "Before
leaving Insure your life In Insurance
company," Is that the holiday Jaunt to see
the naval engagement may not be such a
quiet treat for the whole family after all.
It la gravely asserted that the excursion
promoters and Insurance companies are
coining money.
"Business Is Business" Is the heading
over one account-of the practical Yankee's
eye for the main chance.

As every Parisian In a quandary does, he
consulted the nearest commissary of po

"It's you affair. Take her to a hospital."
Mrs. Verrler, who had seen and htatrd
nothing of her husband's act of rescue.
arrived home In his absence. She was be
wildered to see the unconscious woman
there. Mr. Verrler returned and explained.
The strange woman revived and asked how
