able fires, it has cost the United States about
5000, 00Oa day to furnish employment to our
town and city fire departments. What the
fire departments cost we do not know it is
good round sum at the least calculation,
Architects say that 10 or Is per cent of the
cost of any building, properly expended,
will make it practically fireproof. Our dali
ly fire losses would therefore fireproof from
$1,000, 600 to 100000 worth of new struc-
lures day, or upwards OF 100000, 900 worth
year. At thsrate it would not take many
years to reduce the daily fire losses to
comparative insignifcance.
1t might not be bad thing to forbid in
towns and cities the erection of houses upon
which less than per cent of the total cost
should be devoted to improved plans for pre-
venting the spread of fire. In view also of
the increased Indifference to fire risks incl
dent to fire insurance, it might be good pol.
icy to require that, for every dollar spent for
insurance, proportional sum should be ex-
pended upon means for preventing fires, or |
upon appliances for securing the prompt ex-
tlnction Of such as might be started. II pre-
ventive measures were thus made impera-
tive for decade or SO, the country would
soon be able to save considerable portion
OF the Slo0,0O0.O00 year now directly or
indirectly sacrificed to the sire fiend:,-an
item certainly worth taking account of.

wild Rcd Clover.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August %. 1879.
TO he Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: notice in your paper of this morn
ing an item about wild red clover found in
Arizona, in which Inspector Hammond in
quires If it is found elsewhere in tho country.
/ have seen hundreds if not thousands of spcci.
mems growing in the pine woods of Arkansas,
and have been told by old hunters that it has
grown there ever since white men knew any
thing of the country. l have often found it
fifteen or twenty miles from any farm, and
probably twice as far from any place on which
it was or ever had been cultivated as at tho
time OF my obseiv vations-lS6i to 1s75-it
was cultivated by very few Arkansas farmers.
The specimens saw had a scattered habit Of
growth, generally one or two stalks and never
more than n dozen In bunch, If one might
call them punches, and never saw patch or
bed of it yard square. The only differences
l could detect between it and the cultivated
clover consisted First, in this scattering habit
of growth ; second, in the rather diminished
size and elongated shape of tho foliage and
iowers-both of which were less abundant
than on the cultivated plant and third, thu
greater length and flexerosity of the stalk. l
have frequently taken stalks by the flower
heads, which did not seem to be more than
eighteen inches high, and on stretching them
out would find them five feet or more in
length. Having seen it hundreds of times,
from the northern almost TO the southern
boundary of the State, and from the vicinity
of Little Rock nearly to the Indian Territory,
| have no doubt it is indigenous in origin,
and identical with that sent by Inspector
Hammond to the Commissioner of Agriculture.
