SINKING MINES.

The alarm in Wilkesbarre over the
caving in of an old mine under the city
continues, and the situation for some Of
the inhabitants appears to be really dis
astrous. Their water supply is cut off;
they dare not light fires, lest their
houses be burned by the ov~erturning OF
stoves in case Of a further settling Of the
ground; they are obliged to keep watch
during the night in order that they may
have warning in time to escape if more
Of the roof of the mine should give way,
and their children dare not attend one Of
the public schools which stands in a pre-
carious position. If this should lead to
the taking OF greater precautions to Sc
cure the roofs of mines before they are
abandoned, the experience Of Wilkes
barre would prove a useful warning.

The fire horrors of the past few

crime but rarely heard of in France,
where the bulk of the insurance business
is done upon the basis that if fire is
originated upon the property OF the in

this is not applicable in isolated in

detached building, since one would in.

b%uilt-up cities the risk is fairly taken On
these grounds: Ii your neighbours VIII

ing, we will pay for it'll your own or
your employees carelessness fires your
property, that must be at your own risk.
So long as you are an efficient partner in
the fire insurance company by guarding
your own premises the company will
protect you from abnormal danger. It is
4 fair bargain.
