Firemen Injured, ·

Three firemen were injured by the falling glass.

The Bavarian Minister of Edu cation, Herr Goldenberger, and the Minister of the Interior, Herr Stuetzel, personally supervised the efforts to save the contents of the building.

The cause of the fire is as yet unknown, although it, is suspect. ved to be the work of incendiaries, as the outbreak occurred simul- taneously at several points.

The authorities, however, hesitate to admit this possibility..

Munich's Crystal Palace was built in 1854, the same year as the London Crystal Palace, at Sydenham. But it is much smaller."
