afflicted with disease which ts so mild
that doctors differ as to whether 1t Is
chickcnpox or smallpox. In Knoxville
lately there was one death one week
from 1t: but the sauna week there were
several deaths from pneumonia. And

Losses bv Fire.

yrhe Chicago Tribune OF recent date
contains sensible and suggestive arti-
Gle on the subject Of fire INSURANCE. It
pointed out that the fire loss In Chicago
was, from 1856 to 1890, $tosoo,ooo; from
1896 to 1900, SO, ooo,ooo from 1907 to 1901,
s21,2oo,Ooo and that the premiums In.
creased from $4,25o.ooo In 1891 to s7,15o 900
iii 1901, while the municipal expenditure
for the maintenance Of the fire depart
met,t Increased during the past ten years
only 10 per cent The fire loss Increased
90 per cent, while the money spent for
fire protection Increased only 10 per
cont
Comparison Is then made with the
losses Of fire Insurance companies IN IN
tho East, and the company managed by
Edward Atkinson Is taken as an Hits
tratlon:
The loss per 500 insured was: 1850 to
1850, PAS cents; 1881 to 1895, 1871 cents;
1896 to 1901, BIT cents.
The properties insured were most OF
them extremely hazardous risks, says
tho Tribune. They were factories. They
contained complicated machinery and
highly inflammable materials 'Cf!e:yy
we're Of fllmsy construction. How was
their fire loss 50 spectaoularly reduced7
BY Systematic inspection, by auto
matte sprlnkiers, ", the compilation OF
scientific experience tables. In word,
by paying attention to fire loss rather
than to fire insurance premiums.
The fire loss OF the United States Is Is
said to be $500 900 per year, and tho
conclusion Of our Chicago contemporary
is that fire protection must become less less
