 heating system. An old-fashioned sys- 

 tem was in use in this place, that of 

 conveying hot air tlirough wooden pas- 

 sages, and it is thouglit by firemen that 

 these passages became overheated. The 

 alarm was turned in by a neighbor, and 

 it was not until the flames were well 

 under way that the firemen responded.
