Paris, June 21.
A small fire broke out today in the attic of one of the buildings making up the world-famous Louvre Museum here. It was the building containing paintings of the Spanish school which suffered slightly.
Soon after the outbreak was noticed, the fire brigade was called out and after a brisk fight, doused the flames. No important damage was done by the fire, which originate ed in a plumbing workshop.
In their operations, the firemen made use of a most modern type of po ladder, which can be let out to a length of about 150 feet and which aided them greatly their swift work.—Havas.
