Tumult ?n?t Ererft>odJ Carrying a Lighted Lantern* At Kyoto, among hundreds of queer sights wact that of a tire at night, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun. All Japs who have friends within a radius of half a mile must present them- ' selves or their representatives at their friend's house during or immediately j I after the fire to inquire if they can be j of any assistance. The result is that i | thousands turn out at every fire. The j ! almost deserted streets were quickly ; j crowded by thousands of Japs, each | carrying a paper lantern. Ttiev came | racing down every street and rushing ! in a confused masfi. Some of the paper j lanterns were four feet iong and as big as a barrel, carried liigb above the j crowd at the end of a bamboo and fol- j lowed by a dozen lanterns half so j large, such special delation rcpre- , senting some rich family or a prom-; inent tlrm. Our hotel was out in full; force, f it the guests with their lan-1 i terns, and made visits of condolence to j j friends in the vicinity of the lire. The i I firemen upon the roofs of houses car- i i ried paper lanterns and fought the I | fire with water forced by a hand pump through a few lengths of bamboo poles, j answering for 'hose. To gaze from more elevated heights down upon the i scene, whither your jinrikisha was i j swiftly carrying you. wae a glittering. [ weird panorama, a unique spectacle j not soon forgotten. In some respects it j was a sort of pandemonium; the noise of the crowd, the frightful calls and i ikm.canil. r\f mnninc I l uauvuiift ui iiiuu.'oiiuo . ( Japs, each with a paper lantern, the | yells of hundreds of jinrikicha coclics j shouting for gangway as they sped ! along, the clatter of the wooden shoes ; of the multitude afoot, resounding I upon the stone-paved streets, the dart- j j ing of lanterns to and fro and the con-1 j fusion at the Are were all very, very I strange indeed. Japanese newspapers I the next day contained entire pages , , of cards of thanks of those who re-, ; reived visits of condolence due to the fire. In winter there are on the average 1 three fires per day in the large cities., resulting in plenty of advertisements for newspapers and work for carpen-' tors. Carpenters are often accused of ! nrarticinc incendiarism to secure work, i I r" ? " ; I Fire insurance is very rare and ex j pensive. Business firms endeavor to I build fireproof shops. 1'sually mad i plaster ?s used for the walls and tiles for the roofs. The openings which an-! j swer for windows are closed with ' J doors a foot thick. Block after block . j of such shops, all painted a solid black.! j line the chief streets of Japanese cities.1 i giving a very somber look to the 1 j thoroughfares. Edgeley's Wonderful Well. .
