The Board of Works and the underwrit- ers arranged last night to send out the chimney inspectors today. The force has been increased to 175 men, all of whom are experienced masons.or builders. They were assigned to their respective districts yesterday afternoon, and a captain was | selected to oversee the work of inspectors at each station. The water sityation is somewhat improved, although the press- ure is far from normal in many sections | of the city. President Maestretti intends that there shall be no delay in giving the indoors fira permits where chimneys have been found in good condition. Any one has the right to install gas ranges and heaters without securing permits. The spectors will visit only those places where the householders wish to maintein coal or wood fires. The Board of Works continues to be deluged with applications for building per- mits. Yesterday afternoon there were about fifty applications for permits for alterations or new one-story structures.

The side-wheel steamer Olymplan, which left here for New York in tow of | the liner Zealandia, has been abandoned in the Straits of Magellan. The Zealandia left Montevideo May 9, and will finish her long voyage alone. The Olympian stranded in the Straits of Magellan on a sandy bottom, broadside on to the beach. Wreckers oftered to float the vessel, but so extortionate did their demands appear to C. L. Dimon, the Olympian's owner, that he refused to con- sider their terms. Although he has abandoned the Olym- plan for the time being, Dimon still enter- tains_hope of some way towing her to New York. When the Zealandia, on which Dimon is a passenger, reaches New York, Dimon will secure the necessary gear and, at the 1nost suitable season of the year, return to the Straits of Magellan and wreck the Olympian himself. —_— CITIZENS OF SALT LAKE ASSIST TRAVELING MEN Send Money to The Call to Be Devoted to the Relief of Fire = Sufferers..

Offers Financial Aid to | Have Scheme Given a Test. | Special Dispatch to The Call. | PARIS, May 22.—Antoine Ladue, a pros- | ous but heretofore obscure gentleman armer in the South of France, believes that trees can and should be educated to an extent that will enable t.em to protect themselves against freaks of the weather. He intends asking the State to offer a prize—toward which he will himself offer a substantial contribution—to be awarded to any one who discovers some method Wwhereby hereditary arboreal stupidity | may be eradicated. This sapient Frenchman has observed, in the course of long vears of experience s a cultlvetor of the soil, that the early | shiny, and that just as regularly, some | two or three weeks later, there foliows a fall in umger-lure when tke mercury often drops below the freezing point. But as they feel the first outburst of warmer weather, assuming that spring has come to stay, put forth their buds which get nipped by the succeeding frosts and thereby much fruit is lost. Year after year they get caught in the same fashion. both young trees and old trees. They do not profit by experience. They are no wiser than they the firat apple and tled it on Adam. There must be some way. argues Ladue, by which some glimmerings of intelli- gence, or at least instinct, can be {m- planted in trees. They are fust as much alive, he asserts, as oyaters or mussels, and for all that science can prove to the contrary, have just as much of what passes muster as brains. Yet, in the course of centuries, both the oyster and the mussel have learned when to shut up tight and to do some other things that tend to preserve them from premature de- struction. Nature having failed so la- mentably to teach fruit trees how to avold being bamboozled by the weather, Ladue says that man should step in and iry to Impart the needed lesson. ane fact that he is willing to put out some money himself, if the authorities can b induced to take the matter up, is evidence of his own_good faith. Meanwhile, he doesn't mind a bit being called a crank.
