American Disasters.
Disasters in the United States do not pass without ample pictorial preservation in these modern days. The omnipresent camera does its work as never before, Then the show people prepare such vivid and adequate reproductions, both in moving pictures and scenes resembling the real thing, that great American fires and floods live long. Thus the recent Baltimore fire has been made the subject of a theatrical production on Coney Island. The slumbering city is seen, and so is the building in which the fire started. Flames arise from this building in the heart of- the city, and as the fire spreads the fire department from Washington, Philadelphia, and other cities arrive to help the local department. The arrival of the New York fire department at the Baltimore and Ohio depot is shown as the conflagration is at its height. This Baltimore fire show is the latest thing in its line, but at St. Louis Exposition the scenes of the Galveston flood aee being nightly- reenacted with much realistic fidelity.
