Annual Report of tile State Insu-
rance Commissioners.
St. Paul, May 2G.-Tart 1 of the .twen-
ty-third annual report of the state in
surapoe commissioner was Ieceivol yes
terday. 1t covers all fire and marine i'll.
surance business of the state. An inter-
esting portion of it relates to the adyisa-
bility of legislation to prevent losses by
fire, concerning which Commissioner
Smith says: d.
1.-The rates of insurance were increased
during 1893 20 per cent, and still there
was a heavy loss to the insurance COM
panies. 1t would seem that some legis-
lation was necessary to prevent the great
waste of property by fire. 1t is a well
established fact that about one-third of
the fires are caused by incendiarism, and
still we seldom hear of parties being
convicted of the crime of arson, prob
ably for the reason that there is no officer
whose duty. it is to investigate the causes
of, fires. In some of the cities of the
Eastern states the Office Of fire marshal
has been created, whose duty it is to in
" stigate the causes of all fires occurring
in the cities and :. prosecute offenders
where it is shown that fires resulted from
incendiarism. This officer is paid from
the tax collected of the insurance COM
mnies, and does not increase the tax
retes in the cities. I would recommend
the passage of a law authorizing such an
officer in the cities of this state"

1t has been estimated by competent
civil engineers that the Mississippi
river annually discharges 19,o00,O00,-
100000 cubic feet of water into the
Gulf Of Mexico. OF this, prodigious
quantity the 1-20OOth part is sediment.
Thus it will be seen that the Missis-
sippi annually deposits enough mud in
the gulf to cover a square mile Of U :
face to 4 depth Of 24O feet.
