TIE GREAT FIRE Loss

The report of Insurance Commissioner
Merrill of Massachusetts contains some very
timely matter. He calls attention to the
enormous amount of fire loss which annual
ly takes place in the United States. 1t is
estimated that last year this loss amounted to
$3.50, 100000, or about half as much as the
entire expense of carrying on the United
States government. If to this is added the
expense of maintaining large fire depart
ments in all the great centers of population,
and small ones in the lesser communities,
and the costs and profits of the insurance
companies, the outlay that the property
owners of this country are compelled to
make to protect themselves against loss by
fire is quite equal to the entire expense of
maintaining the United States government,
plus the surplus that is now accommodating
in the treasury.
These are impressive facts. But it appears
that even this immense loss does not make
much impression on the growth of the coun-
try In spite of it there is q tremendous in
crease in insurable property. The commits
sioner reports the fire risks outstanding to be
1899, 305, ,76s greater than at the elese of
last year. AS it is presrmable that property
is no better insured now than it was twelve
months ago, the only means of accounting
for this great increase in the volume of busi-
ness is that there has been substantially this
amount of new wealth added to the country,
upon which insurance is desired.
More and more attention is being paid to
the great fire loss of this country. And it is
generally admitted that it is to large extent
unnecessary. The Boston Herald puts the
matter forcibly when it says: Taking into
account what we now annually pay out in in
surance and in the maintenance of large and
expensive fire departments, we are paying
an enormous interest cost, probably as large
as 20 per cent. per annum, in order to effect
temporary gain. Considered as financial
problem. we should make an immense saving
in money if all of the buildings that were
put up in this country were constructed in a
manner to meet the requirements of the
building laws of Italy, Germany or France.
The original outlay would be somewhat
larger, but the incidental savings that could
thereby be brought would in a few years
entirely offset this added expenditure.

GLOVES AND KNUCKLEs.

difference between Fighting with
Fists and with MIttens-Rules of the
Prize Ring by tho Marquis of Queens
berry.
From the London Sunday Timss.l
The exact difference between what is called
glove fight and fight with knueklss, or,
as it is elegantly termed, with "the raw
'uns," is not as widely known as it certainly
ought to be, considering the present appa-
rent popularity" of scientific fsticuffs.
What then is the difference between the two
modest Let us see.
The first rule which governs the prize ring
is that the battle shall be fought upon a bit
of turf By the consent of the high con-
tracing parties the ropes and stakes, forn,-
ing square of twenty-four feet, might be
allowed to enclose SO much sand, mating,
mattress, sawdusted deal floor or feather bed,
but the rule says CURLY, turf. The scratch
is mark in the center of the ring. "Each
man shall be attended by second and a
bottle holder" Tossing for corners (the
man who has his antagonist placed down hill
with the sun in his eyes has an advantage to
start with), providing each fighter "with q
handkerchief of q color suitable to his own
fancy" the final disposal of those trophies,
the appointment of umpires and referee
need not be dwelt upon.
The seconds are to see that the men carry
NO improper substance in their scant contin-
uations, and to take care that the boots worn
by the gladiators contain no more thaa the
regulation number of spikes-namely two in
the broadest part of the sole and one in the
heel Then, principals and seconds having
shaken "hands across" in the center of the
ring, the squires are to withdraw and suffer
the battle to proceed. 1t is the duty of the
seconds to remove their men when one or
both fall to their respective corners, and ssaf-
ford them the necessary assistance" until, at
the expiration of thirty seconds, the umpire
cries "TimeI' Thereupon each man must
leave the knee of his bottle holder unaided
and walk to his own side of the scratch
The rules to foul blows, getting down
without being hit, butting and so forth, are
generally known, but there is one solemn in
junction which is not and as it was evident
ly the suggestion of dry humorist, quote
it: "The seconds" &c., 'fshall refrain from
all offensive and irritating expressions, in all
respects conducting themselves with order
and decorum, and confne themselves to the
diligeDt and careful discharge of their duties
to the principalsl" The comments of one
Baldock on this admonition would be edify.

stones or sticks, or of resin (sic), shall be

the large amount of money which he had re-
ceived from Wilson. Shortly afterward
they fell out and Kesly went on inventing on
his own account. Wilson began to hear
good deal about the motor dozen years
later and tried to get peep at it, but Keely
was shy and intimated that he was working
something else. Wilson got the court to en-
join Keely from dismantling the motor in its
present shape and now he has asked that he
may look at it to see whether it is the same
invention Keely assigned TO him in 1859.
a prominent English physician is satisfied
that the dwelIers in American cities are neu-
rotics and dyspeptics. First of all, he says,
the Puritans who enligrated to New England
were characterized by a neurotic tempera-
ment for Puritanism was largely disease of
the hillary duct And so ever since it has
been the neurotic member of the English
family who has grown dissatisfied with the
conditions of life in the old country, and has
emigrated either to Austria liza or America.
The climate and the peculiar conditions of
life that exist in this country have developed
and intensified this original neurotic type,
until it may now be fairly called the Ameri-
can type, and is indeed recognized
throughout Europe. This type exists in its
most perfect form in the larger American
cities For it is the neurotic member Of the
family who's most inclined to "kick" against
the monotonous life of the country. All such
men drift into cities where they can find an
outlet for their energetic and often splenetic
unrest. In their case also the neurotic ten
dency is increased by their environments
They become small in physique, and as a
rule are chronic dyspepties. Their children
are apt to succumb to the maadies of child
hood. The men are kind and indulgent to
their families, but irritable. The women are
bright, quick witted, spirituelle but restless.
They are fond of living gregarious lives, and
spend large portion of their time in relat-
ing to each other the evidences of their phys
ical weakness. And SO in three generations
at most these highly developed but diseased
men and women die out, literally consumed
by the fire of their own abnormal vitality.
This is interesting and plausible.

against the foreign grown; and, while admit

on account of its toughness and durability,
yet, on the basis of repeated observations and
experiments, the writer in question asserts
German timber, especially for spokes, can be
placed side by side and is equal under the
same condition to the American hickory-the
kind here referred to being the acacia timber.
This is less known in northern Germany, but
in the southern part it is used in preference
to hickory, while in both northern and south
ern Germany hickory timber is employed fol
all carriages of the finer class. Both in Cor
many and Switzerland, however. many car

toughness of the recently cut timber is not
