The Recorder does not wish to make
of itself q chronic kicker. in fact it has
held aloof from bringing before the
public many offensive acts really de-
serving condemnation, but it really
does seem that the practice of slaught-
ering hogs in the heart of the business
portion of town should cease. The san
itary laws are violated thereby and the
ground breeds vermin, making it a
menace to public health.

INSURE STATE BUILDINGS.

DeS MONIES ReSlSIef.J
The destruction of the main building
CT the deaf and dumb institute at Coun-
ell Bluffs makes the loss of the state by
fires more than million dollars with
in few months, and yet the powers
that control such matters are so short
| sighted that they insist that the state
shall not insure its buildings against
| loss by fire and storms! The institu-
| ton at Council Bluffs alone has had ap-
preparations for buildings aggregating
| about .S950,000, and the loss by fire at
that institution has been about S365,000
Fire insurance would have cost the
state less than half that loss, and 1t
is probable that fire insurance would
have resulted in less than one-fourth of
that loss, merely because insurance
would result in expert examinations
and watchful care of that and all other
state institutions by the insurance COM
panies. That Is the result of fire insur-
ance on the property of the people, for
1t is probable that the expert examina-
tons made by the fire insurance COM
panies and their watchfulness over
their risks result in less than one
fourth the fires and loss that would
otherwise result.
1t is the Registers belief that there Is
more necessity for the state to insure
than for the people, for the reason that
no one looks after an uninsured states
danger from fires, and it is possible
that nearly all of the states buildings
are firetraps. Talk of fireproof build
ings is folly, for it is known that even
Iowa's splendid capitol contains enough
III, fn th,t
great building by fire, and it is proba-
BILE that that will be the result if expert
examinations are not provided for and
more care exercised. Defective wiring
may burn that magnificent building
within week, yet 1t is supposed to be
as nearly fireproof as asbuilding can be
constructed. Hundreds of tons of paper
and old boxes are stored in the capitol
basement-just the right place to make
sure of the destruction of the building
by fire if an electric spark or other fire
happens to get started in that paper.
1t is time for the state government
to wake up and provide some method to
prevent losses by fire. F'ireproof build
ings will not stop those losses If the
buildings are filed with old papers and
other firetrapS, as most of them are. We
believe that fire insurance is the only
safety, merely because the fire insur-
ance companies will require that the
buildings be kept in less hazardous con-
ditions. mo insurance. has been the
report after every state fire, and we
row have talk of an extra session of
the legislature to provide for the re-
building of the deaf and dumb institute,
and that extra session would cost about
as much as the state would have to eX-
pend for fire insurance ever since the
institution was established! 1t is nos
sible that the state capitol may next be
destroyed. and there need be no sur
prise if defective electric wiring, light
ing, spontaneous combustion or some
ether cause of fire gives the people of
Des Moines the opportunity to witness
the most spectacular and costly bonfire
ever seen in the state.

When the Sun Will Fail.

The total of the suns heat is equal
to that which would be required to
keep up 476,000 millions of millions Of
millions of horsepower, or about 49,
600 horsepower for every square yard,
and yet the modern dynamical theory
of heat shows that the suns mass
must fall in or contract thirty-five me-
tiers per annum to keep up that tre-
mendous energy. At this rate Of con-
traction the solar radius will be .O1
per cent less in 1000 years from now
than It In to-day. According to these
deductions, time must come when
the temperature must fall. This be-
ing the case, it is inconceivable that
the sun will continue to emit heat
sufficient to sustain animal life for
more than 100000 years longer.

the intruders." would they kill the
bears?" Gen. Corbin was asked. "Oh.
no; they would only whip them. They

Strange French Tax Law.

Possession may be nine-tenths of the
law, but the remaining tenth &C.
casionally makes trouble, especially In
France. A man in Paris had two
motor cycles, on which he paid the an.
nual tax uncomplainingly until the
motor cycles were stolen from him
two years ago. The law insists he
should 60 on paying the taxes indef-
nitely, as he, cannot prove he no
longer possesses the cycles by return
ing the taxing plaques which were
attached to- the machines. and, of
course, vanished with them. As long
as he does not return the plaques
the law considers he is in possession
of the cycles and insists on the taxes
being paid.

THE DEATH BED.

We watched her breathing through tn,
night, t 4s-
Her breathing soft and low,
AS in her breast the wave OF life
Kept heaving to and fro. 81
So silently we seemd to speak,
So slowly moved about.
As we had lent her half our powers.
To eke her living out.
Our very hopes belied her fears,
Our fears our hopes belied-
We thought her dying when she slept,
And sleeping when she died.
For when the morn came dim and sad.
And chill with early showers
Her quiet eyelids closed-she had
Another morn than ours.
