Magazine. sums up the case from the
scientific rather than the practical
view point. as follows:
There have been a number of de-
vices produced for the purpose Of pre-
venting collisions in a fog. but 1 can
not recollect any one which i'm its full
sense can be considered successful.
There seems to me. however. to be no
reason why some apparatus where cleo
tricity plays a part, should not be per-
fected, both for determining a ships

land. 1t is now possible for ships a
considerable distance apart. to pass
Geographic communications between
each other, but / do not think the APP
paratus for this purpose has ever been
put upon the market in a commercial
way. 1t would seem to me, however,
that when ships are in crowded waters
like those near New York harbor, the
best thing that pilots and captains can
do is to drop anchor and give the usual
warning signal. followed by the ringing
of the bell. If every captain did this
there would be no accidents. This is
the old-fashioned way, but 1t is the
safest. Even with a good electrical APP
paratus were devised IL would always
be very difficult, with a powerful YES
sci under even very little Roadway, to
avoid collisions If many ships were
scattered about.
THE accidents through fog at sea
are comparatively few. and any device
for locating proximity of ships to each
other will probably always be more
for use on the ocean than
near land"
Thus IL will be seen that the salts and
the savants are agreed that the end of
shipwreck is not yet.

MUNICIPAL FIRE INSURANCE.
Success of the system on Small Scale In
Switzerland.

Success of the System on Small Scale In
Switzerland
From the Contemporary Review.
Various attempts have been made in
different European countries to estab-
lish a system of state or municipal fire
Insurance, and the most successful ex-
amples are to be found in that nursery
of European democracy-Switzerla
In Zurich and several cantons fire in
surance is made part of cantonal gov
eminent. One of the best laws on the
subject is in operation in Basel-Stadt,
one of the smallest of Swiss cantons,
containing only $4,000 people-less than
the population of a small London local
government district. The town of Basel
has population of 10000, so that the
community is largely an urban one.
The fire insurance law is administered
by the general obligatory mutual fire
insurance institution" operating under
the department of finance. The law is
not only compulsory, bur the system is
monopoly, as buildings insured by it
are not allowed to carry additional in
surance. Several classes of buildings
are excluded from the operation of the
law, including churches, which belong
to the state. buildings of less value
than 800 francs, when situated some
distance from towns or villages, as they
perhaps run little or no FISK, ana Dulld-
ings which are of too hazardous a ma
ture. such as theaters and powder
mills.
A valuation commission, appointed by
the government council, values the
buildings in the presence of the owners
or his agents. The value is determined
by the amount which at the time of
valuation the buildings in their then
existing construction would cost for
material and labor with deductions for
age. use. poor state of repairs. etc."
Local advantage or site valuation does
not influence the valuation, and NOV
able objects, such as machines or parts
of machinery, are excluded. Buildings
are divided into four classes according
to the nature of the risk, and the pre-
miums are graduated accordingly.
Dwelling houses and all buildings not
used for manufacturing purposes pay
a premium of so centimes per 1000
francs value, or 3 pence per $40. Or
binary manufactures and workshops
pay so centimes per 900 francs. Places
of great hazard, such as breweries, dis
tilleries, gas works tobacco factories,
pay franc 20 centimes per 1000 francs.
while class four including chemical
factories, dyeing works and few more
places where the risk is still greater,
pay at the rate of 1 franc so centimes.
Where the hazard is exceptional and in
the case of buildings partly constructed
of wood an addition. which must never
exceed 5 francs on each 1000 francs, is
made
