The monetary loss was over half a million dollars, and the treasures of `its museum can-never be replaced. But a far more` terrible loss than any of these were the lives sacriced. The college was a prepara- ory school under the Jesuit order. s well an Arts and Theological institution. The students ranged in age from little lads, of nine years. to young men in University; and Seminary classes.- Forty-one members of the faculty and one hundred and fifty-I lfour students were asleep in the building when the fire broke out. It spread with t appalling rapidity, and ten of the one hundred and ninety-five died inthe flames.

They should be packed rath-l er loosely into large pans or buckets and`; placed about the rooms and passages. In; a very short while the odor of the painti is removed and the air is wholesome once; again. Naturally in all cases where paint-E 'ing has been carried out a. free ventil- lation is desirable.
