Extraordinary precautions had been taken to avoid the noisy and irreverent scenes that took place.

They rushed across the road with a window cleaner's ladeer, and, with a.passer-by, set to work to rescue those trapped on the upper floors.
On the top floor were Mrs. Blakemore and her three young children, all of whom were in Bed when the alarm was given.

RHADAMANTHUS?
According to the legends of ancient Greece and Rome the spirits of the dead voyage to the kingdom of the under- world, where they were, sum- moned before the three great judgment seats of Acacus, Minos and Rhadamanthus, who 'meted out rewards and punishments to each in ac- cordance with his deserts..
Rhadamanthus had been chosen by the gods for this office because of the fair and just lawe which he had formulated during his earthly existence. The son of Zebs and Europe, he had been driven from his island home of Crete by his treacherous brother, and had fled to the Asiatic islands, over which he ruled for many years.
After the death of Amphytrion Rhadamanthus married his wife, Alcmene, the mother of Heracles, to whom he proved a sage 'coun- sellor in the paths of wisdom and virtue.
When at last Rhadamanthus came to die, the gods acknow- Tedged his life of piety by ap pointing him to dispense. throughout eternity the same justice for which, he had been so renowned in his former sphere.
