The building is a perfect vault with brick aud stone sides, iron roof and iron doors. All around the top-runs a per forated pipe by means of which the whole interior could be flooded if a fire ahiMild by any possibility broak out.

Oilskins such as the fire patrol use are spread over the cargo us the final sd- ditlouiil precaution that human ingenuity can suggest. The r.uinitinted on first stopping Into the cold, chcorlcrs plr.ee. with its damp cement floor, are apt to wonder why it has all been done. The long black stalirs don't look like innch piled against the walls, and to bear their Immense value set forth is enough to take the bren h •way. But the place docs not always contain a $1,000,000 stock. The sauson was • most profitable one and in conse quence the warehouse Is nearly full. ••The lady purchasing a few sticks of whalebone on her shopping tour nearer !y realises the Immense risk and the groat •immut of labor necessary to place it on the counter." said W. ft. VVand. obe of the reprwfiisativo* of the whaling com- mmy. "There U a big risk even here.
